Amazingly clean! Perfect number of bedroom suites for our group of six (2 couples and two singles)! Having to take our trash to the dump was weird and lack of workable tv remotes (dead or missing batteries) were a negative, but we would still stay there in the future! Again, amazingly clean!

Five Wonderful Days!

Two old friends shared five days at this wonderful home, enjoying the full moon, the nightly fires, and the sunsets! We went into Galena each day for history browsing and great lunches (Bread and Vine was our favorite...) and one day drove north for a tour of Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin. But our favorite part of the stay was being in the house, surrounded by the natural beauty and rekindling our friendship.
