Perfect Getaway - Cozy Cottage in The Galena Territory

The open concept living/dining/kitchen area on the lower level allows for easy conversations and hanging out. Enjoy a meal on the screen porch in the summer or the warmth of a crackling fire in the winter.

You'll likely see wild turkey and deer cross the lawn. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of "Glenn the Galena Groundhog" who lives under the deck. On clear nights, you can see the entire Milky Way.

This place was so amazing! My husband and I loved staying here. It was very clean and comfortable. There were instructions everywhere on how to work everything. I only wish that there were a few more windows with curtains but that’s personal preference. I would come back to this property again no problem.

My only complaint is that we only stayed 1 night. I cannot say enough good things about this whole process of booking, communication, fast responses, very helpful and accommodating. The house was perfect, beautiful, set up wonderful for a VRBO. Every part of the house was well thought out and offered anything you can think of that you might have forgotten. Bathroom and kitchen offered everything you could think of from hair ties, toothbrush, antacids to emergency cell phone. Tv service was awesome and my 11 year old was happy to find Hulu, utube and we watched some family movies. Loved having washer and dryer to use as we had to dry some clothes that got wet. The fireplace was beautiful and plenty of wood offered. Even the beds were super comfortable. I can’t say enough also about Sarah’s communication and assistance and answering any questions we had about the area and house very quickly. Even let us go back in after. Checkout to quickly get a Stanley cup that was left. I grabbed the card with Sarah’s information to hopefully stay there again and bring more family in the summer to use the beautiful outside area and screened in porch. My daughter says it is the best place we have ever stayed. Thank you for making it a special family girls weekend.

Everything about this property was perfect for us. I stayed here with my sister, two daughters and my niece. Perfect amount of space for all of us and cleanliness and aesthetic appeal was top-notch! Living room area was great for all of us to cuddle up and watch a nice fall movie. Couch was very comfortable. We also appreciated the games that were at the house ready for us to play. We played at the dining room table and the screened in porch as well, which is a nice addition to the property. The owners thought of every little detail. Extra hair ties when we needed them, even a nail file. I would absolutely stay here again. Hoping to come back next summer for a longer stay and to use more of the many amenities at the owners club. Great place.. a beautiful, quiet, home away from home.

Very nice property and location. One issue was listing stated there was a grill; the grill was more like a small hibachi, which was dirty AND there was no propane to power it. I had no problem cleaning the grill to use it, but when we called the manager, we were told to go get our own fuel for the grill…not cool. We had brought some steaks to grill and it kind of ruined our dinner plans. If you don’t have a grill, just say so. I could have brought my own portable grill, but if youlist it, provide it.
