Property & home were perfect for 6 women in late 60s & 70s We did not use the hot tub, deck , 3 seasons room, or fire pit as it was too hot. The home was very clean & the beds were all very comfortable . Would definitely stay again The upstairs bedroom is very bright due to the windows & sky lights. My only negative is the coffee pot took 1 hour to brew & the single serve kept quitting. Also could use a large pot for making spaghetti.

We stayed 2 nights with our small dog. We regret not booking an extra night. The owner was friendly and very quick to answer my questions. The location is also a stunning area of the territories. We will be back and plan on using this property again!

We stayed for a long weekend with our extended family of 10. The house was perfect for us. It had everything we needed and was close to anything we wanted to see or visit. We would stay here again if we were back in the area!

The screen porch was the best part of the house and we spent mornings and evenings there. The hot tub was well maintained and very clean. We had a wonderful time in Galena just a short 10 min drive away.
