What a lovely home! Plenty of room for the 10 of us and the view was fantastic. Dan was easy to reach and provided everything you would need. Would definitely stay here again.

This house worked well for our weekend get-together with family. The house was clean, stocked with most items you might need (bathrooms, kitchen, entertainment) plus items that you might want. The bedrooms and bathrooms were nicely separated, the common areas were spacious and furnished (deck, huge kitchen island, table/chairs, comfy chairs, sofas, etc.), and the basement ping pong and pool tables as well as the blackboard were entertaining. The owner was responsive and helpful. All and all, the property was a great venue for our family get-together. We would stay at this property again.

Dan the owner was always available from the moment we made our reservations until we left. The house was spacious and so clean. It had everything we needed. If tranquility is what you need this house is for you. We grilled one night and ate on the large deck. The house has a beautiful game room in the basement where we stayed up late nights having so much fun. Golfing is also available if you want to book a game. Our family had a wonderful Mother’s day weekend and we will be back. Thanks again Dan for sharing your lovely house with us.

We stayed for three nights with family and friends. This house was so clean and perfectly laid out to accommodate adults and teens who wanted to sleep together and have privacy, The basement had a ping pong table and pool table and fun chalk board. There was so much extra space to hang out in and relax. The kitchen was duly stocked and had great amenities. And the views. Stunning! And the fireplace was enjoyed. Dan is the perfect host-thoughtful and responsive. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you!

We had the most enjoyable time at Dan's property. The house itself overlooks Lake Galena. The North Cove bank of the lake is a 2-minute drive away and offers a great fishing spot. The home was clean and luxuriously furnished. We fell in love with the furniture and decor. Everything was clean - zero dust, which was a huge plus for our family as some of us have allergies. The kitchen was put to great use. Lovely crockery and cutlery. Enough for us all. And Dan just knows how to walk the fine line between assisting us and letting us be. He was on hand when we had questions and timely in his responses. Super friendly. Only good things to say. We hope to return to this lovely home some time in the future.

From check in until check out this was the best experience we have had renting a home. There is nothing that could have been done to have a better stay. We had 9 people ranging from 1 to 62 and a dog. Except for clothes you almost dont need to bring anything. Dan, the owner has thought of everything possible. Huge home with so much to do. Pool table, ping pong, play staion are just a few of the things everyone enjoyed. Beautiful veiw of lake Galena. I could go on and on but I think you all understand this is the only place I would stay in Galena. One last note, Dan is very easy to reach if you need anything. Thanks for a dream place to stay.

This house provided a perfect spot for our annual family summer get together (8 adults / 4 small children). Dan was a terrific host and was very easy to communicate with. The house was spacious and very comfortable for our family. The first floor has a open kitchen / dining area / and living space which makes it easy to be all together. At the same time there is a living space upstairs and downstairs if part of the group needs to watch something else or just chill out. The biggest hit with our crew was the Owners Club swimming pools ..... we were at mostly the kiddie pool which was perfect. Galena was fun to go check out and we had dinner our last night in one of the many restaurants. We tackled the General Golf Course at Eagle Ridge which also had terrific scenic landscapes. Overall exceeded our expectations.

Thanks, Dan, for sharing your home with us. We found this home to have plenty of space for everyone. The roads to get there were quite twisty, but gps worked perfectly. Loved the kitchen and the game room. Lots of nice and fun extra touches like the big chalkboard wall, coffee filters and supplies, a Christmas tree.... The hammock looked like it would be great in warmer weather. We had excellent family time there. Thanks.

Our family had a wonderful time staying in this spacious home on Lake Galena. There was more than enough space for our large family to each have a separate sleeping areas and to gather in the large living room around the cozy fireplace (and we all enjoyed watching movies on the huge smart TV too!) The kitchen is also very large and made it easy to prepare meals and we could fit around the large kitchen table. We had a fun night playing pool and ping pong in the basement and this would be a great hang out spot for kids. There are gorgeous views of the frozen lake, snow and trees in winter and am sure it would be equally beautiful in the summer. Our host was quick to reply to all messages and checking in was very easy. A great place to stay!

Home was cozy, huge, and immaculate! Pool and pong tables kept everyone having fun. Multiple decks with great views let us all take a moment and all the fireplaces kept everyone warm and in the spirit. Dan was responsive right away when looking for a screwdriver to install batteries for a game of laser tag (highly recommend with this layout). We've stayed all over the territory and this is hands down A++!
