Quick overnight for a wedding

Our stay at this home was quick, but exactly what we needed for a wedding nearby. The hot tub was fun to use after a night out, and the host was very clear about the lack of streetlights for night time driving, which was helpuful. Plus made for some great stargazing! Property was clean and as described.

Comfy and cozy holiday-season getaway!

Sarah’s house was so comfortable and clean and beautifully decorated (both in general and for the holidays). Everything was exactly as advertised on VRBO. And Sarah was a very responsive and helpful host, who thought of everything to make guests comfortable, and there are helpful notes everywhere for everything you need to know for using and finding things around the house. The beds were amazingly comfortable! The location is in the Galena Territories, which is a really easy and beautiful country drive on paved roads 10-15 min from downtown Galena.

Galena VRBO

This property was beautiful! The house was among the rolling hills close to Galena. The owner/ management, thought of everything a party of eight or less might need!

Best short term rental I have rented

I am a short term rental owner and I was blown away by how much these hosts prepared the home and thought about absolutely everything for their guests. 5 girlfriends enjoyed a two night stay at this well stocked and clean home. From the original booking until the check out process I was very impressed. Thank you so much for opening your home for others to enjoy! We will be back.
