The property is well maintained. There was a ton of room for the five of us. The home is like brand new and so well cared for. The hot tub was perfect; warm, clean, and roomy. It was close enough to town to get there for shopping and meals, but far enough to be secluded.
Enjoying breakfast in the kitchen.

Our group had an amazing time here. The proximity to Galena was very convenient, but the rental felt extremely removed/rural. We enjoyed watching sheep and deer roam around the property. The place was clean and we had plenty of space. The hot tub was a definite bonus!
