We had a great stay in Galena! The house is very well equipped. We made many meals at the house and had everything we needed. Communication was good leading up to the stay. Very comfortable home for our family!

We had a great time at this house! Plenty of cooking and eating space in the kitchen and the kids really enjoyed the play area. Located so close to the pool and golf course and just a short drive into downtown Galena and over to Iowa.

The inside of the house was very clean, well stocked, and above what was described-even ice cube trays were filled for us! Beds were very comfortable and plenty of entertainment items available. Nice hospitable touches were throughout the house. Customer service call before arriving was a welcome touch as well. As an outdoor living family, we thought the outdoor space was lacking the same attention. There was a small firepit in the middle of 2-3 ft weeds off to the side of the house, the upper deck had not been swept in a while ( more than just random leaves ), and the lower deck space had sparce furniture and 2-3 ft weeds in the gathering area. Paying attention to the outdoor space would make this wonderfully located and private residence even better.

We had a large group, so we needed to find a large house with enough bedrooms to accommodate us. This house has four bedrooms to sleep eight. There might also be a pullout that we did not use. The location is just a short 15-minute drive to Galena, which was great, because once we were outside of Galena there was virtually no traffic. We all appreciated the pool table in the basement, and the coffee table on the main level was large enough for a puzzle. (You'd be amazed how much less time folks spend on their phones when there is a puzzle laying around.) All in all, a great four-night stay! The owners are great to communicate with, very responsive, and gave us a lot of tips on shopping, the owners' club, etc.

This was a beautiful cabin in the woods, very secluded and quiet. Easy drive into Galena. The kids loved the pool!

We have rented many vacation homes over the years and in a variety of locations from the beaches of NC to the mountains of WV to miner's cabins in Mineral Point, WI, as well as other homes in the Galena Territories. Everyone agrees -- this was the BEST place by far! We had 5 adults staying at the cabin, as well as 2 teens, and 2 children under 6. We had lots and lots of space -- movies and pool in the basement, cards around the table, chatting, reading, and listening to music in the main living space. I really appreciated (having driven 14 hours) arriving at a cabin with toilet paper, made beds (yes, I have had to make my own beds upon arrival!), paper towels, soap - and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need - pizza cutter (yes, I have had to purchase in the past!), wine/bottle/can openers, pots, pans, baggies, saran wrap, pens, paper. It really is like staying at your family's vacation home - warm, inviting, stress-free. And to top all of that off it is SPOTLESS, bug-free, and absolutely cozy and beautiful! Our family enjoyed many of the activities over the July 4th weekend the territory and neighboring communities had to offer - the pool, rodeo, pancake and parachute breakfast, fireworks, parade, and walking around quaint Galena. It was truly a memorable week! We will be back! Thank you!

It was a perfect stay, the house met all our needs and we had a blast. The only thing was we forgot a bluetooth speaker and there wasn't one in the house. They had a great sound system and a bunch of cds to save the day. The house was so cozy and we would definitely stay again.

Two families with school age kids for fun over Memorial Day weekend. Plenty of room, linens, and good kitchen supplies. Appreciated the Kcup and regular coffee maker optionsl Enjoyed the deck in the evenings and the kids loved playing outside. It feels secluded as couldn't see other neighbors at least with the leaves on this time of year. Quiet street with access to unpaved trails. The firepit location and ambiance was a favorite! Kids enjoyed exploring the rocks' nooks and crannies beside it. The house is nicely furnished and supplied with things like marshmallow toasting sticks, no ice maker but there are ice trays so it works fine, etc. It is somewhat dated which we were fine with but may want to be aware, We did use the wifi for casual use and it was fine, Communication with the property managers was great. We did go to Owner's Club to use the pool which was full of people, but we still found chairs and the kids enjoyed. If you haven't looked up how The Galena Territory works would recommend doing that. We would stay here again and had a great time.

Kristen & Ginger who were in charge of the VRBO were absolutely the BEST to deal with. They made the trip effortless, they would respond same day if I had questions, they were informative, detailed & very kind. We literally couldn’t have had a better experience! The cabin was very clean & they had everything available in the cabin for us to make sure it was tidy.

Great family gathering

Great family gathering

Using the owners club was very nice-the pool was popular with our group-it was about a 4 minute drive-I don’t know if it’s walkable-we didn’t check out any of the wooded trails nearby. Multi-generational family vacation was enjoyed by all. A personal highlight was seeing grandma playing piano with one of the grands. Of the nearby attractions the goat trek was a highlight. We also enjoyed the alpine slide. Kristen was helpful before check in.

Great place. Well equipped. Very clean and no bugs or creepy crawler in the house despite being in the woods. Fireplace was great!! Beautiful log home, well kept! Big table was great for games and big dinners. Beds were all comfy. Only disappointment was the fire pit area and the deck furniture. We didn't use either as a result. Would rent again though.

Perfect Covid Getaway

Perfect Covid Getaway

Boulder Creek was perfect for our small family gathering, ages ranging from 23 - 84. Beautiful, cozy decor and setting, along with a well-appointed property. Given the Covid surge, we appreciated a place where we could just hunker down and enjoy each other's company. Communications were terrific. Wi-fi was strong enough for 4 people to work.

Winter Getaway

Winter Getaway

We stayed at Boulder Creek for a quick family getaway and had the best time. It was just what our family needed. My husband and me, 3 teenage daughters, and in-laws enjoyed the rustic cabin theme set in a winter wonderland. The teens loved the “vintage” decor and technology. They enjoyed the large selection of DVDS and CDs that are from an era they don’t personally know. The house was perfectly stocked for making family meals. The house was close enough for skiing at Chestnut Mt and shopping in downtown Galena. Everyone would love to come back. Ginger was very helpful and responded quickly to questions. Thank Yiu.
