We had an amazing stay! The home was absolutely beautiful, cozy, and spotless. It was clear that everything was well cared for, and we felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. The peaceful setting and beautiful views made it the perfect place to relax, and we especially enjoyed spending time on the deck. The host was very responsive, friendly, and made the entire experience seamless. Everything we needed was provided, and the home was exactly as described. We made wonderful memories here and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and relaxing getaway!

Surprisingly comfy accommodations

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Let me just say: the photos don't do this property justice. Everything was cozy and comfy, including the couch (that reclines) and the beds (that were nice and plush). Even the outdoor lounging was a dream.

One of the easiest rentals and nicest we've stayed in in 20 years going to the Galena Territory! We did not get to enjoy the nice view and patio furniture unfortunately due to weather, but we still loved the unit! Thank you :)

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The townhouse was beautiful and tastefully decorated. The back deck offered a spectacular view of one the golf courses, flight of a hot air balloon and wild turkeys.We had one issue - the only containers/dishes suitable for the microwave were 7-inch paper plates. The serving dishes (plates and bowls) were melamine and other bowls and containers were plastic.A reminder to housekeeping: clean and sanitize the garbage disposal splash guard.

This place is very nice to stay in for the long weekend.Everything was very comfortable.The golf hole view was entertaining. Easy access to Galena.The owner club pool was extremely crowded, so that was not the greatest but I’m sure it’s not always that busy.Thanks for the nice stay
