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.

Wonderful Home

We had 4 couples in our party. Each couple had their own bedroom with bathroom. The living room, kitchen, the whole upstairs was very spacious. The basement was the same, and walks right out to the yard and hot tub. Beautiful property! It was a bit chilly but the deck was amazing and great view! Communication was great as well.

Great get away!

The house layout was perfect, and the hot tub and pool table were a big hit with our kids. The areas were clean and the house instructions were very clear and organized. Only a few hiccups happened, two being out of the owners control, but still a bummer for us: the indoor pool was closed, but there was an alternate location to swim which was so nice, and the dryer wasn’t working so we couldn’t dry our wet cloths. One thing that I was disappointed in was the cleanliness of the pots and pans. Several were really dirty, but thar

Spacious Home in Picturesque Setting

This was our second time to rent this home for our group of 8 golfers. The kitchen is well equipped so we were able to prepare our own meals, eat in, and not have to go out after playing. There are several areas to gather and relax, including a large screened porch, a nice deck with 8 chairs, a table and gas grill, a family room with cushy seating for 6 or 8, and a game room with a billiards table. Several of our group enjoyed the hot tub too. Our only criticism is that the beds are queen-sized even though the room sizes could have easily accommodated king-sized beds. That's a little awkward for our 8 guys sharing beds. Nevertheless, we're likely to rent again.

Family Get Away

This house provided the perfect setting for our annual family get away. With four different families, everyone had their own room with plenty of bathrooms to acommodate the ten of us. Great floor plan & plenty of options to eat (inside, outdoors, screened in porch). The kids thoroughly enjoyed riding their scooters up & down the sloped driveway. Our family goes somewhere every year, & this house by far had the best outfitted kitchen. It had everything you could think of for cooking, including a hand mixer, blender, insta pot, crock pot & griddle. I would highly recommend this property. Our famiy made some great memories.

Excellent family get-away!

The house was the perfect size for our family. The layout was perfect. The hot tub was clean and I could smell the chlorine (something we have not experienced at other homes in the area). We loved the pool table and all of the board games. We cook ALOT, and noticed some of the cookware needs to be replaced, but they have everything you need to create amazing meals. I recommend to always stay in the territory so you have access to the owner's club. The kids love the pool! Overall, we would love to stay here again!

Ski Adventure

House was great perfect for what we need. Was super nice that every room had a bathroom and shower. The only gripe I have is the inconvenience of taking the trash all the way to the club before leaving then having to come back to the house to drop off the key needed to drop off your garbage at the clubhouse. The master suite had a great bed, but the other beds were a little hard for my liking, could be just a preference thing for me though. Thanks for everything was a great stay!

Cozy Home Away From Home

Loved everything about this place, but we had issues with the stove. We couldn’t get it to maintain correct heat. Called on this first day and got immediate help to get it working properly. But, next two days same issue. Since we bring up food to cook, this was definitely a bummer. Other than this, house was clean and comfortable, great check in, and owners very responsive and helpful. Also want to mention that owners allowed us to check in early due to bad weather and this was greatly appreciated.
