The house was very nice and clean. Our family had a great time skiing and sledding. Plenty of snow. The driveway was cleared early so people could get out.

We had an amazing time staying here. It was perfect to host our family Christmas! The layout for multiple families is very convenient with bathrooms in every room for privacy! Pool table, movie room, hot tub kept everyone entertained. And the host was very quick to responding to any questions we had! We are already discussing our stay next year at the property!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our Christmas vacation at this property was awesome! Our only downside was the indoor pool was too cold for our small children. They only swam about 20 minutes and got out shivering. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay.

We had a girls trip for 12 people total and this was the absolute best house to stay at. There is plenty of room for a large group to hang out in the main level as well as the basement. With six bedrooms each having its own bathroom, it was perfect. The house was very clean and had everything we needed on hand. Would highly recommend!

Group of longtime friends getting together for a weekend away. The overall home was nice with plenty of room for all of us. There were a few things that needed updated. But for the most part we were very happy with the house. We did not need to contact the property manager for any reason so that's why we only put 3 stars.

House was perfect for our large group. The 3 floors gave enough space to not be fallinf all over each other. Each room having its own bathroom is good for all the girls to get ready! Protector was perfect for games but make sure to bring DVDs for the projector or laptop to hook up for movies and more. Great location outside the city in quiet area. Lots of lady bugs in house and make sure to watch Thermostat at night, gets cold in house in cooler months.

- Spacious property with several bedrooms and bathrooms - Clean premises - Everything was in working order - We will definitely consider this property again - Minor suggestions: keep body wash in the bathrooms and more coffee cups in the kitchen

The house was perfect to accommodate our group of 6 couples. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom for privacy and plenty of space for dining and game playing. We had a wonderful weekend and would definitely rent this house again!

The only problem was that the listing underrated this terrific property. House was huge for the 11 of us. Each family had its own floor and the house was so well-equipped, we almost didn’t have to leave. Enjoyed cooking without running into each other in the well designed kitchen.

Loved the pastoral setting. Enjoyed the roominess and the privacy of the bedroom suites. The absence of a few inconveniences would have made our stay more enjoyable. To name a few...some drains slow, coffee makers not working properly and weak WiFi receptionist in some areas.

Our party of 12 stayed here and it was perfect! The location was quiet and safe, yet close enough to downtown Galena to enjoy some shopping and dinner. There was plenty of room for all of us to sit in our yard chairs and enjoy a nice evening outside. We also enjoyed the nice hot tub while others played pool! They had everything we needed for a great 3 days in this beautiful Galena home! Thank you for letting us borrow your house to celebrate my parent's 50th Anniversary! We would definitely come and stay again!

We had a great time and plenty of sleeping room and dining tables. The basement was a bit chilly though. I only wish I would have inquired about a Christmas tree as this was our family Christmas and it was missed.

This was a perfect house for my wife and I to spend a week with my four siblings and their spouses. Each couple had a spacious bedroom with an ensuite bath. Plenty of space on the main floor and in the basement to socialize. Kitchen was well equipped and we could all eat together in the spacious dining room. A highlight was the Galena Territory Owners Club, to which we had passes to enjoy the pool, workout room, and gym, where we all learned to play pickleball. And several of us enjoyed the large hut tub. Highly recommend this clean, spacious, well equipped house for a quite, private getaway.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our second year at Powderhorn Gap. We met for a girl's weekend traveling from Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. The home is spacious and plenty of room for the eleven of us. The only complaint we had were the lady bugs in the kitchen area. I think that is just about the weather getting cold and they are coming inside to get warm. The home was clean, and the beds were comfortable,
