Perfect Getaway
This stay was one of the best for our family! The home is immaculately designed, decorated and equipped! Anything you might need has been thought of and provided. The setting is peaceful and surrounded by trees and beautiful birds that come and visit while you enjoy your morning coffee! Our three teenagers easily left their phones to the side to enjoy the property and that was priceless! The bonus was listening to their excitement when they discovered the hidden room! Having a dog friendly option was icing on the cake. Just perfection!

Beautiful home!
We really enjoyed this home. So beautifully decorated and very clean. Our children enjoyed the games in the basement and the secret room was so fun! The house had plenty of room for our family and had everything that we needed. We’d definitely want to stay again! Thank you for a great experience.

One of the best VRBOs at which we've stayed
This place looked great in the photos and we were stunned when it actually looked better in-person. We were three families with 5 kids among us and if was plenty of space. Every room was thoughtfully decorated and there is a ton of stuff to do in the house (hot tub, pool table, secret room, arcade games, cotton candy machine, on and on). We really didn't even get to enjoy all the activities so we were already planning on booking again to go back. The host was very responsive and helpful with any needs and checked in often to make sure everything was going well. I really can't think if anything but positives to say! What a great place!

Mini getaway
The cabin was amazing shape and in very good condition. The host made sure everything was in great condition and made sure everything was well. The secret room and amenities really made it so that we did not want to leave. Would definitely return.

Celebrating Christmas Early
The house is beautiful with so much to do. There were 9 of us. My kids and friends ages 16-24 and me. We loved playing pool and ping-pong. The hot tub was awesome. We had enough room for everyone to sleep. I loved the dining room table because there was enough room for all of us to sit together and enjoy our meals.

Family Get Away
This house was awesome and perfect for our family - we were 7 adults, 2 toddlers and an infant. It’s in a great location in the Galena Territory with access to the owner’s club. The property is very well maintained, clean, well stocked. Very spacious and comfortable with a great layout. The upper floor was terrific for the kids — sleeping and play area. My granddaughters had so much fun with all the available toys. It is a very kid friendly house … even to having children dishes/ flatware which the little girls loved.
The lower level was awesome with pool and ping pong tables, etc and the hidden room was a big hit!
The fire pit was really nice with lots of available firewood.
It would have been nice to have another day to just enjoy the house and its amenities.
Communication with the host (Beth) was excellent!! Extremely quick to reply to emails and checked in with us on arrival to be sure all good.
We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property. We would definitely stay here again.
