The home was as pictured on the VRBO website. It was perfect for our 3-4 day stay for our family of two couples to enjoy Galena and the surrounding area. We love Galena and visit there often. The house is cozy and was the perfect size for the 4 of us. It was so nice to have a bathroom downstairs and also a private bath in each of the 2 bedrooms upstairs. Such a plus…..3 bathrooms in this house! There is no closet in one of the bedrooms, but there is more than adequate dresser space in each bedroom to put your clothes in. We chose to store all of our empty suitcases in that one closet in the one bedroom. This worked well for us! Suitcases were all out of our way. Stacy’s instructions for our stay were perfect and we had no issues on arrival or departure. Thank you, Stacy, for the use of your lovely home! It suited our needs well.

Repeat Guests

We have stayed at this property four times, and we have had an enjoyable time each visit. We prepare our evening meals at the home, but we have noticed that some of the preparations items (skillets, kitchen utensils, kitchen towels) are in poor condition. The couches in the living room and the dining chairs are also quite worn and need to be replaced. We recommend this property, keeping these issues in mind.

Weekend in the Galena Territory

We spent a winter weekend in the Territory. The house was neat and warm and very cozy. There are two fireplaces (non-wood burning ) that kept us toasty. The rental provided access to the Territory’s Owners Club and its fitness center, which was a nice plus. We really enjoyed our stay.

Cozy, charming cottage

My family and I really enjoyed our relaxing stay at this cozy and charming cottage. It was the perfect size, and we had everything we could have needed. With the cold temperatures, we really enjoyed the fireplace which not only warmed up the rooms, but made them extra cozy and relaxing. The cottage was the perfect size for our family of 4 (and dogs), and it was the perfect getaway. We would definitely stay here again!

Convenient

Overall it’s a nice, small community of 2 bedroom cottages which back up to a wooded area. The place is clean and comfortable! It was convenient to have two bedrooms each with its own bathroom. It was a 10 minute scenic drive to go to Galena!

Tiny but efficient use of space

This was the perfect fit for my family of 4, parents and 2 adult children. We were able to utilize the 2 bedrooms and pullout couch so everyone had their own accommodations. The 2 full and one 1/2 bath were essential for harmony and sanity during our stay. Kitchen and dining room had great use of space and had everything we needed. And the fact that the host contacted us 30 min before our check in to let us know that the house was ready was a huge help in getting us to our 5:00 family event a bit less hurried.

Cozy Stay

This was a great location with a beautiful view of the waterfall through the winter trees. The home was the perfect size and had everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home. It was great to have two full baths on the second floor attached to bedrooms and to also have the half bath on the first floor. Stacy was extremely responsive but everything was where she said it would be and check-in/out was super easy. Very easy drive to the general store and out of the territories. Would stay again for sure!
