Time With Our Family
Difficulty using the code for entry in both units. Difficulty in lowering temperature in both units. Filter in dishwasher very dirty, washed most by hand and used paper plates instead. The dinner plates provided are too large to stand up in racks and allow the spraying arm to revolve. Coffee pot took about an hour to brew coffee. Furniture was very uncomfortable, hard to get out of. I don’t like to complain but these issues really need to be improved. SORRY.!!!!

Family weekend
We booked both houses for our annual family weekend (plus a few others close by) and they worked out great for our large group. The kids could easily play in between and navigate safely between the 2 homes and there were multiple other rentals in very close proximity. The open space was great for hosting dinner, and there were enough bathrooms for every family to have their own plus more. The kids were bummed they couldn't use the hot tubs, but with the warm temps that didn't end up really being an issue. Overall we highly enjoyed our stay.

Great family trip
We had ages 1-82 stay at both houses! Everything was wonderful especially the bedroom to bathroom ratio, kitchen amenities, pool table and hot tub! If I had to make a suggestion it would be to add 2 more dish towels and 2-4 wash cloths for the kitchen. We had a super time and would book again!

Spacious home!
Great place for a large group to gather.. #6 has the larger living space and that's where our group gathered. Most beds were king size. One bedroom upstairs the rest in the basement. All bedrooms had a bathroom plus a couple 1/2 baths. Kitchen was very well furnished. Kids had a blast at the pool at the owners club. It was nice and warm. Had a basketball hoop and they had a movie going in the area as well, kind of fun! Can't think of anything that would have made it better.

75th birthday celebration weekend
We rented both #6 and #4 and had 15 adults ranging from 38 to 75 years of age. The house was very clean and well stocked. Plenty of seating inside and out. Steve was very responsive to questions before and during the rental. Getting between the 2 houses was easy as they are side by side. We have a member of our family that has mobility issues. There is one step on to the porch and one step into the house. The main floor has a bedroom and bathroom (with a walk in shower) and access to the kitchen, living and dining areas and outside deck. It was easy for her to get around. The downstairs of each house has additional bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. Linens were clean and beds were comfortable. The house has one coffee maker but brought a second one with us as our group is filled with coffee drinks that don't like to wait for the second pot to be brewed. Keeping the house cool on warm days or if you're using the oven was not an issue and there are several ceiling fans and an additional air con unit on the main floor. Trees surrounding the house make for a peaceful vibe and the screened in deck makes a great area for morning coffee of evening beverages. It's an easy drive to downtown Galena and close to many local attractions. I would not hesitate to rent either house (or both if you have a large group). We had a great experience and made wonderful memories.
