This home was spacious for our family of 12. It was nicely equipped with pots, pans, folding chairs for extra seating, beach towels, games and children items. Having access to the homeowner’s clubhouse was an additional benefit. Unfortunately we did not have access to the garage spaces.

The property was beautiful! The house was very spacious and worked perfectly for our stay. The only thing that would have made it spot on was if there was two bedrooms on the main floor (for both sets of our elderly parents)

Great house and location for large group
We booked this house for a friends and family golf trip. The location is close to the main entrance to The Galena Territory. It's very easy to get to from Route 20 which also makes it simple to visit downtown. The house is incredibly spacious and everyone loved having their own bathrooms. The firepit table and comfy outdoor furniture was a favorite gathering spot. We've been renting different homes in Galena for 20 years, and this was one of our favorites.

Pictures do not do it justice. Very spacious, lots of kitchen accessories, and comfortable outdoor seating. I enjoyed lower level with family game room. We will stay at house again. Thank you for sharing your house with us. Steve B
