Lovely getaway for a relaxing weekend. Very clean and well kept place. Kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, large fridge with ice maker plus electric grill outside. Owners very responsive to requests and super friendly. Resort areas like swimming pools are well kept and just a short drive from house. Great restaurants in Galena a 12 minute drive away.

Well appointed, comfortable beds. Good place to chill out and unwind. Toasty warm with the pellet stove. Jaimie was responsive to a slight issue we had the door entry system. A good way to greet 2025!

Very nice and cozy place. We enjoyed the clubhouse amenities. The neighborhood was quiet with many helpful people. If you like walking there are many trails in the community. You will need a car to get you to a coffee shop, downtown, groceries, etc. The community center was about five minutes by car. My daughter and I thought we could walk to it, but a really nice home owner told us to take our car. Communication was great with the owner. Would love to stay there again.
