Fall Beds Trip
Great long weekend at a very comfortable property. Kitchen is well stocked. We appreciate the host providing firewood for the bonfire and fireplace. Our party of eight had plenty of room and we enjoyed the entertainment areas. The location was a good launching spot for day trips to Galena & Dubuque. For those looking for onsite recreational activities, the Owners’ Club has everything from Games, a fitness gym to basketball, swimming and tennis

Solitude
This property lacked nothing. There were separate bathrooms for each of the bedrooms, the kitchen had every utensil you would need and not one but two large grills. Really though, the only suggestion I would have would be to add window coverings over the doors.and in the kitchen.

Beautiful house
The house was great,loved that each bedroom had their own bathroom.. The only complaint is that there was some critter in between the walls and when we said something they said that they couldn't do anything about it, so the sleep was not good cause that's all you heard was the critter trying to get out!. Property was nice and quiet.

Great family vacation get away.
This property was exactly what we were looking for. Comfortable, clean , spacious and well supplied. We cook alot at our vacation rentals and this one was well stocked for our use! Loved the screened in porch with big trees and birds abound. With adult family members visiting us on the weekend it was great that they each had their own bedroom and bathroom. We will be back.

Annual family getaway
Stayed at the house for a wonderful getaway family weekend. House was more than we expected. Extremely clean and it was wonderful to have a full bathroom in every bedroom. Easy distance into town and the territory is beautiful. House has everything - we grilled family dinners for both nights and played pool. Would definitely rent again if headed back to Galena!!!

3 night family get-away
The house is great. Nice to have a bathroom for each bedroom. It is FULLY stocked with everything you will need. From the back deck it is like being in the forest, in the front of the house there is a great yard and basketball hoop for the kids. The listing did not say it had a pack and play so we brought one, but it has everything, plus booster chairs for the little ones. The screened in porch is really great for having dinner when the weather is nice. All the furniture is nice and comfortable. We had a nice time with our family. Be prepared there is a LENGTHY contract to sign in addition to renting through VRBO. I've rented many places around the country thru VRBO and have never had to sign an additional agreement. This one is extensive and does not really pertain to a 3 night stay. Also had to provide my credit card information to the owner in case of damages. Have never had to do that before and was not keen on that. Communication with the owners was easy and we had quick responses. Overall is it a great house and was a wonderful stay. Thanks for sharing your home.

Great retreat from disappointing weather
Disappointing weather during our visit forced us to spend much of our stay in Galena at the house. But we found lots to do at the house, which is spacious and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to the area.
