Family fun weekend
We enjoyed how spacious the house was. W/ 11 of us, we felt like there was plenty of room for us to be comfortable. Having 5 bathrooms was a definite plus! The animals were a delight to visit. We made several trips down the path to visit them & named our favorites! Fishing was fun & kids even caught a large bass twice! Joe made sure to address any needs & concerns at check in & during our stay. He was friendly & informative.

Fishing is good. Animals are great. Raccoons smash the garbage. Instead 4 “ticket” at the pool but 7 adults and 1 child…..
This place is beautiful. The house was a perfect place for my daughter’s bachelorette party. Love the property, it was gorgeous. The ranch hand was very nice and quick in answering our questions. Definitely would go back.

Paradise on the Ramch
The house was very clean and spacious. You can tell that much thought and care went into the recent rehab. Our group of kiddos, parents, and grandparents enjoyed the trails, animals, and access to the Galena Territory, as well as proximity to Chestnut Mountain and Galena. One night we enjoyed a cozy fire, while other nights we gathered around the large table and played board games and card games. Joe was a pleasure to communicate with and he ensured all our questions were answered and we had everything we needed for our stay. We definitely recommend this property for a family getaway.

Great Thanksgiving Celebration/Getaway
We got together with our son and daughter and their families for Thanksgiving. There were 13 of us! Plenty of room for all of us - everyone had a bed with a couple of beds left over! The house was advertised as being remodeled and it truly was - everything was really nice and also very clean! We all enjoyed the game room, even though my son beat me at ping pong!! The living room/kitchen area was open and very spacious. We enjoyed movies, popcorn and hot chocolate in comfort, not to mention our wonderful Thanksgiving meal! The property was nice, too - we enjoyed some short hikes and enjoyed seeing all of the animals (turkeys, ducks, goats, alpacas, miniature horses). Our only regret was that the weather prohibited us from enjoying the outside areas more - the deck and screened porch areas looked so inviting; however the 20 degree temperatures weren’t conducive to hanging out for very long. The hot tub was a hit, though!! We would definitely consider visiting this property again!

Golf trip stay
Our golf friend group organized a stay at this house and played golf around the Galena area. The golf was great and the house was even better! Lots of space for sleep, yard games, grilling, and hanging out. The host was very helpful with golf and made the check in process easy. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Great for larger groups
Perfect house for our girls trip. Plenty of room to spread out and everyone had a bed. If you enjoy a country setting, this is the place for you.
The owner does meet you there at check in which is not something I am accustomed to having stayed in many rental properties, but they are very nice and helpful. Would stay here again.

Incredible house on incredible property!
This was the second time we have been on this property, and it’s hard to decide what’s better - this house, or being on the ranch. Our kids brought their teenage friends, and they never ran lot of things to do - wiffle ball, soccer, visiting animals, hiking around the ponds, volleyball - and of course the basement game room is beyond belief with ping pong, pool and pop a shot. The great fire pit, hot tub and gigantic deck top it all off. Joe the ranch hand was yet again a wonderful guide - we hope to come back and stay again!!

Amazing fun for a group!
We have gone to this property, staying at different houses, several times now. It’s quickly become a family favorite thanks to the gorgeous views and abundance of stuff to do at the property itself. We had a few friends and their kids join this time and had the best time! Everyone enjoyed walking the trails, seeing the animals, making s’mores over a fire, playing volleyball, playing cowboy golf and again, those views!! The house is perfect with the game room for the kids too, and the hot tub for the adults to hangout! Highly recommend!! It’s a short drive to downtown Galena too, so easy to explore and grab ice cream if you do want to leave and do something. (Tons more to do in the area too, we are always just so busy and happy at the ranch we don’t leave for much, which is perfect for us with the young kid chaos we have 😉)
