Great unit with lots of amenities
The unit was very clean and nicely/simply decorated. We have rented in the Territory many times and this unit by far had the most amenities provided (we basically only had to provide our own food and personal toiletries). So many llittle touches to make being away from home easy. The owner was very responsive during the stay when we needed something. The view is amazing from the balcony and so much to do nearby. Was also great to be able to bring our dog.

Nice family getaway plus dog came this time! bonus
We had a nice stay at the property. It was our first time staying at a VRBO that allowed dogs and it was a perfect setup for the entire family. My 6 year old daughter was especially excited about the playroom and has already talked about "when we go back next year" so that is a good sign. I was surprised there were not many bugs outside so we could actually enjoy the patio and the view of the golf course is gorgeous. Thanks for hosting us! We plan to come back.

Fantastic
I would highly recommend this property. This is one of the cleanest rentals I’ve ever stayed in. The communication with the property owner was quick. The information provided for the rental was very detailed. Lastly, the “small” details to make it feel like home are nothing that I’ve ever seen. We will stay again!

Great townhouse! Dog friendly!
Stayed here for a long weekend in beautiful Galena! Fur baby was welcomed & the townhouse had everything from a kennel, leash, bowls etc! We loved the golf course and the clubhouse! Will was so receptive for any questions! We plan to come back in a few months! We literally felt at home. Thank you Will for sharing your beautiful home & allowing our dog to be with us.

Cozy Winter Get-away
The pictures show the property well. Nice to have a fireplace and we definitely appreciated use of the garage. We arrived late and it was wonderful to unpack the car inside, on dry ground and not in the dark. The beverage station was also a bonus with any type of warm drink you might like. Bed was comfy, kitchen was well-equipped and location was perfect for us. A great stay!

Perfect place to relax and explore the trails of the Galena Territory and the shops and restaurants of downtown Galena. Will was a great host—communicative and thoughtful. Loved the many coffee making options (we enjoyed Nespresso both mornings). Lovely decor, lots of blankets to create a cozy vibe. Would stay again!

Great place for a Family
Overall the place was lovely. The kitchen had all the basics you need for parents and the kiddos. We have a toddler, and they have ALL you need for them, an adapter for the toilet, stepper to wash their hands and teeth and even a gate for the stairs. All the rooms and bathroom are a great size, and the playroom is a great space to entertain your toddler during your stay at the house. The area is very relaxing and felt safe at all times. The link the host provided with the recommendations on the area for restaurants and entertainment was very helpful. Wonderful place and hosts. Hopefully we will be staying here again in the future.

Perfect spot for a vacation in Galena
My family stayed at this property for a relaxing week. The townhouse is clean, has every convenience and is thoughtfully stocked with everything you'll need while you stay. The views from the deck are lovely. The owner makes check in simple and provides lots of information for people who may not be familiar with everything Galena and the Galena Territory have to offer. My family will definitely be coming back to stay again.

Lovely vacation house!
This house is beautiful! We particularly enjoyed the attached garage on hot days, and my kids loved the playroom. Some additional perks in the house that I'm not sure are on the listing - they have a Nespresso machine!! With pods!! I was very excited about that:). The upstairs bathroom has a HUGE jacuzzi tub, and my kids were VERY excited to take baths in that. They also have a variety of phone/iPad chargers all around the house, which was really convenient for us. They also have a variety of books around the house that are appropriate for a variety of ages of readers - I read a YA one about Hamilton and Peggy:). Great experience!
