Owner did a great job of having little signs around to ensure the stay went smoothly — how to adjust the thermostat, run the hot tub, etc. The layout was lovely and the home had all the musts — fireplace, three season room, deck with a fire pit, hot tub. We are already talking about going back!

We had a wonderful stay! Property was so clean, with all comforts of home. One of the best rentals we have stayed in. Loved the hot tub and the night sky was wow! Quick ride into town. We roasted marsh-mellows over the little fire table on porch! Master bedroom bed could have been a little more comfortable but didn’t ruin my night. So quiet and relaxing!

Quick overnight for a wedding

Our stay at this home was quick, but exactly what we needed for a wedding nearby. The hot tub was fun to use after a night out, and the host was very clear about the lack of streetlights for night time driving, which was helpuful. Plus made for some great stargazing! Property was clean and as described.

Comfy and cozy holiday-season getaway!

Sarah’s house was so comfortable and clean and beautifully decorated (both in general and for the holidays). Everything was exactly as advertised on VRBO. And Sarah was a very responsive and helpful host, who thought of everything to make guests comfortable, and there are helpful notes everywhere for everything you need to know for using and finding things around the house. The beds were amazingly comfortable! The location is in the Galena Territories, which is a really easy and beautiful country drive on paved roads 10-15 min from downtown Galena.

I am a short term rental owner and I was blown away by how much these hosts prepared the home and thought about absolutely everything for their guests. 5 girlfriends enjoyed a two night stay at this well stocked and clean home.
