Every part of our stay was easy and as-per-plan. Helpful “managers.” Spacious and spotlessly clean home, with everything exactly as we’d hoped and anticipated (not always the case!). Comfortable beds. Kind provision of shampoo, conditioner and body wash (Could use a handrail for getting into the master bath-). Various perks and amenities. Beautiful neighborhood, convenient to Galena. Highly recommend this home!

Wedding Weekend with my Adult Kiddos

Perfect location nestled between Galena & Oak Hill Farms Wedding Venue. Bedrooms and common areas are very spacious. We had 6 in our party and never felt on top of each other. My family enjoyed the downstairs pool table, pingpong, arcade games & foosball. Beer fridge downstairs allowed us to keep our competitive edge too. The hot tub was a Godsend after a night of dancing at the wedding. We did notice there were plenty of children’s toys and games to keep any “littles”occupied. There are 6 passes available to go to the Galena Territory Resort Club- we didn’t have time to go, however we want to come back to do this!!! Check it out! Even horseback riding! Gorgeous countryside with Thunder Bay Falls right around the corner. Ginger (manager) is a peach to work with & loves what she does. She checked in with a phone call prior to our arrival, explaining processes, etc. we had zero issues what so ever with our stay. Can’t wait to return!!!!

Gorgeous property, serene yet lots to do!

The Laurel Lodge was a perfect amount of space for us and our 4 grown children. We loved the large kitchen table, perfect for game nights. We cooked in the well-appointed kitchen and were able to pack light with the full laundry. We had enough space in the entryway to store our golf bags inside without them being in the way. We spent some time every night playing pool or ping pong, and relaxing in the screened-in hot tub. But my favorite part was the quiet area we were in…every morning I started my day with quiet time on the large porch, reading, stretching, crocheting. Ginger and Kristin were great communicators, too, with quick responses to my many questions leading up to our stay. It was fantastic! 100% recommend!

Came here for our annual girls trip. All 6 of us had our own sleeping space. Check in/out was very simple. The rooms were all very large and spacious. There was ample sitting areas located outside and around the house. We would definitely consider returning to this home.

Great Jacuzzi, fire pit, stocked kitchen more

Kids loved the Jacuzzi and game room TVs in every room provided a relaxed bedroom experience jacuzzi is conveniently located right off the basement game room porch fire pit is large with many seats huge stack of firewood is provided w/fire starters and lighters to make lighting the fireplace or firepit easy Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would ever need and much more pots and pans for miles plus instapot, crockpot, indiv. pod coffee maker, 12 cup coffee maker, food processor, blender, smoothie maker and much more grill was conveniently located on upper deck right off kitchen we were able to bring our dog for a minimal fee, which made it easier for us just bring yourself, your clothes and food and you're good to go check in and check out was easy with an easy to follow list of very minimal tasks to complete. Owner's club was nice and huge indoor pool is great fun next time, we'll come during a warmer season to try the outdoor pool with 2 slides!Only cons:We wish we had more than 6 lanyards for the owner's club (indoor pool, game room & exercise equip. room). We think if a rental is advertised to sleep 10, then 10 lanyards should have been provided. 6 of us could go for free but the other 4 had to pay a 5 fee. We thought the rental was priced high enough without adding this on top. Also, the house cleaner could pay a little more attention next time... we found a pair of underwear and trash left behind from the previous tenant.

Winter Adventure in Galena

Great accommodation for Galena trip!!!The cabin was very cold upon arrival and warmed relatively quickly. A 3.5 bath home and unable to use one of full baths because of frozen pipes. However, Great kitchen. Excellent communication with property owner. Clean hot tub. Comfortable beds. Would definitely return!

The gameroom at this home was a hit with our younger guests, freeing up time for the adults to visit. The large hottub also was also hit. Everyone in our party would rebook this very large home for another mini-reunion.
