Had a great time with family. Took advantage of all options available in and around the Territory. As far as the house it was comfortable, especially like that all the bedrooms had their own bathrooms. The common living areas provided enough space for our group. Enjoyed our morning coffee in the screen porch.

Great place in the woods

The house inside was immaculate. Everything you could need was supplied in the kitchen The pool table and ping pong table made for hours of fun. Our family including dogs had another wonderful stay.

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.

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

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.
