Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family had a nice reunion in this dog-friendly Galena territory home. We especially enjoyed the fire pit, porch swing, hot tub and screened in porch. Galena Territory itself wasn't all that I had hoped for but the home was perfect. We rent a home each year for a family gathering and this was the best we've rented so far.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: For the past 5 years we have rented in Galena for the Memorial Day long weekend. This was our favorite place out of all of them. There were enough bedrooms to easily accommodate our family of 6. There was outdoor space for the kids to play, and the firepit was great. Plenty of space for family games and relaxation. The screened in porch was amazing. We were very happy to be able to take our dog along with us this time as well. I would highly recommend this location.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Been to Galena for 15 years did not like they told me I could not use the pool until 4pm. We always were able to pick up passes and enjoy the pool before 4pm as I had my grandchildren wanting the pool. The house was not clean. The floor in kichen was dirty. There was dust on the tables. The Mr Coffee took 1 hour to brew a pot of coffee. The downstairs bedrooms were cold and my grandchildren had to sleep with 3 blanks but the upstairs was fine so if we put the heat on the upstairs was hot. There were gnats in the downstairs bathroom. I had never had any of these issues in other Galena houses.

This was home-base for an annual gathering of long-time friends. Through pictures descriptions and correspondence, we could tell exactly what we were getting. The bedrooms and en suites were clean and comfortable. I especially liked the owner’s suite. The living areas were very comfortable. We really enjoyed gathering on the deck backing up to the forest. The entire group really enjoyed the whole property.
