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.

Great place to stay. Everything was exactly as it was listed. Home was very clean and accommodated all of our needs. I would stay here again.

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.

Proximity to trails and a short drive to the clubhouse was a bonus.

We loved the property, it was the perfect size for our group. Excellent communication with the property management! The property was clean and well appointed. We will for sure be back! Thank you :)

The property was well-stocked, clean, and totally perfect as far as layout for our family with 4 bedroom-bathroom suites. Everything worked and served as a special and different Christmas experience.

House was exactly what we needed within our budget. The hot tub and pool table were great amenities! Would definitely stay again. Master bedroom was amazing!

Nice place in a peaceful setting north of Galena- nice trails just outside the door for hiking. Location was a little farther from downtown Galena that we anticipated but that is a very minor thing. Good comfortable house with plenty to do. Note: Dog-friendly for sure but bring some gates if you want to keep them on a certain floor of the house!

The property was great! If we could’ve stayed longer we would have! Everything was in pretty great shape and the management was very responsive and accommodating! The only thing I would change is the couch in the lower game room. It’s not terrible, but it’s been well loved in the house and is probably due for an upgrade in the near future. There is a 100% chance that we would book again!

Loved this place so much we came back again this year! Great location and amenities for a fun filled Fall weekend!

Convenient, warm, clean home in the Galena Territory.

We made use of the fire pit, the hot tub, pool table, nearby trails, and pool at the owner’s club. Loved having four bedrooms each with their own bathroom and the ability to bring our dog.

We enjoyed a perfect working hot tub and used the comfortable screen house the most. Beds and linens were comfy and plenty of accessories in the kitchen made things easy. It's easy to see how well the owners of this rental care for their home and guests. Not a criticism but merely a suggestion would be for some non slip grips on the beautiful hardwood stairs and the shower floors. But this rental is a definite gem. Also it was equally wonderful communicating with Linda. She was super helpful and great to work with.

Spent 4 nights at the house and it was a beautiful home with everything mentioned in the listing. It was a great place and very spacious.

This is the second time we stayed at this property. I highly recommend this house for a large family stay. It's dog friendly. The owners provide lots of extra fun stuff. We did have to call the owners while we were there with a minor issue.. One phone call and somebody came out to fix the problem within hours..Excellent weekend stay.

Just be aware of the people across the street, they may tell you to not let your dog do anything on their yard (happened to us both years). We always pick up after our dog.

We had a wonderful stay at Talisman. The house had so much room and we loved how every bedroom had a bathroom. Our two little ones loved everything about this home from the fire pit to the screened in porch, even the hot tub. The location was great and the home was perfect. Con: the cleaning service could have done a better job. There was food still from previous renters left on the table and a few other things that weren’t paid attention to that should have been.

The house was perfect for a girls weekend. Plenty of space to relax, cook, sleep, and hangout. The fire pit and hot tub were excellent! Beautiful home. Easy access. Wonderful!

There were many things we brought that we didn’t need because they were already there (large beach towels, lots of seasonings, wide assortment of baking dishes, wine opener, etc)! The beds were comfy, rooms were large and the layout was perfect for our family needs.

House was very comfortable and laid out nicely. We had four couples and we all had plenty of room with our own bedroom and bathroom. Felt like we were at home. Roads are very intertwined in this area so have your navigation handy and working, but you get on to the roads fairly easy. We very much enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back to this house. The only thing we noticed was one ceiling fan didn't work and the hot tub cover strap was broken and taped. Otherwise a great time and skiing was awesome!! Thank you to the owners and the management team who made this process very easy. Even took our two small Boston Terriers and they had a ball. Thanks again and book this house!!! :)

Great place for a 2 family getaway!

Instead of having a Christmas party, my daycare teachers said they'd rather go to Galena for a couple nights for a staff retreat. We looked at a few different properties but as soon as we saw this one, it was the one everyone wanted. The house was amazing. Spacious but still cozy. We loved the whole feel of the house and took advantage of the Owner's Club and the backyard hot tub. One morning over breakfast we were delighted to see 4 deer coming through! Such a peaceful place to be. All my staff said they would love to visit the same house again in the summer to be able to take advantage of the cute screened porch and the firepit.

It snowed the entire day so that was beautiful. Would love to go explore town more on our next visit.

We had a great time with my family. We’ll definitely came back again.
