Fantastic!
This place held our family extremely well for our family reunion. We had 5 of our children & their families. Lots to do in the basement, air hockey, ping pong, theater room. Lots of games were provided & toys for little kids, too! The kids loved the fantastic pirate ship play house in the back & the slide off the house. Parking was a little tight especially since we had a trailer with toys. The only regret I have is we didn't stay long enough! Thank you for the beautiful place for us to gather as a family!

Very "cabin" feel. Pros: lots of beds, bathrooms, wonderful play rooms, movie room and outdoor play areas, 2 refrigerators . Great for families. Cons: couldn't use patio because of wasps and covered with debris, front step is hazard, leaky kitchen water faucet, no laundry soap provided, poor wifi. Overall with a few minor inconveniences, we had fun.

Galilee Lodge Retreat
Galilee Lodge was clean and spacious. The well-stocked kitchen was beautiful and accommodated a large family gathering. The Great Room was an awesome meeting place! Indoor games entertained children, teens, and adults for hours! It has a beautiful view of the lake and a wonderful backyard for children. The Theater Room was awesome!
We would recommend a couple of repairs to improve convenience and safety at this location:
-Repair and service the worn rollers and closing mechanism of sliding glass door, behind dining table.
-Repair broken wooden balcony railings/posts of the upstairs bedroom balcony (facing Lake).
-Repair loose (potential tripping hazard) carpet by Foosball table, at the junction of carpet and tile flooring.
-Consider downsizing the heavy, inconvenient dining room chairs! Those loose seat convers can pinch fingers when you try to move a chair while seated!

It was clean, the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare the meals that we chose to eat in. The beds were comfy. The grandkids LOVED having the "bunk" room to stay in! The location was close to the activities we had planned. The entire family had a wonderful time!

Great Place for Family Reunion
We had a wonderful time here! It was spacious enough that our group of 23 didn't feel we were on top of each other. The kitchen was well stocked and having two fridges was fantastic. The kids loved the basement and theater room. The slide from the deck and the pirate ship playground was a huge hit with the littles. The adults loved sitting out on the deck for the beautiful view of the lake. The beds were comfortable. It was a reasonable drive to everything we wanted to see and do. The only downside is there were quite a few bees/wasps on one side of the deck where the BBQ was. We did get a quick response from the owner and that was great. Sadly pest control couldn't make it there during our stay. But things like that are not unusual during the summer months and did not ruin our stay.

Family Christmas Trip
We took our entire family for an after Christmas getaway and this place had it all! We had no problem keeping all the littles entertained along with the teenagers and young adults. The pirate ship was a huge hit even in the snow. The kitchen is fully stocked with every possible thing you might need. It was only a 20 minute drive to Beaver Mountain for our snow boarders! I would highly recommend this place to any big family looking for a vacation spot.

Family Christmas gift
We played and played - the property met our expectations. The owners were excellent at responding to our questions.
The good:
It was clean and well stocked, and had a lot to offer visitors with a large family.
The bad: It's no where near "walking distance to town", which is really ok. It's just a short drive and my day didn't really include any time there anyway.
The greatest struggle was getting the information on how to get into the house. I did not get any emails from expedia, nor VBRO, nor the owner. I called the owner and she was certainly nice enough and gave me what I needed over the phone.
