This house was perfect for us and our adult kids. All the bedrooms were very comfortable and between the family room upstairs and the entertainment space downstairs, plenty of room for all seven of us to spread out and enjoy. Would highly recommend if looking for a place to stay in Galena area.

The hot tub was having issues and unfortunately was inoperable for most of our stay. Very prompt response and technician came out twice but the problems persisted. I also let them know that the shower floor was very slippery and my daughter fell and hit her head. I had mentioned the slippery floor the day before and was told to tell everyone to hold on tight.

The only Issue we had if you can call it one was the inside temp got up to around 84 because the AC couldn't keep up with the 95* outside temp.
