This home (we think :)) is awesome but may not be for everyone.
- There is an approx 100 yrd walk down a sloped, paved path from where you park to the home. From there you walk up 7-8 steps to the home. We can't guarantee in winter it will be shoveled.
-Also, this home has a spiral staircase to get to the lower level of the home, where the hot tub is located. The staircase is not suitable for young children, and there are wide gaps between rails that a child could squeeze through. (Our older kids (7 and up) love the home, but please be aware of this before booking). You can alternatively walk to the hot tub from the path in front of the home if you wish to avoid the stairs.
We do have a security camera (audio and visual) that faces front of the house down the path/stairs up house.
No smoking of any kind allowed on the property
The house is surrounded in woods. Expect some bugs outside and occasionally inside.
Just being honest- property is not perfect but we LOVE being there ;)

Dogs are welcome if well behaved. Extra pet fee will apply. $65 fee for dogs. Must be well trained. No cats please (family member with allergy)
Family managed property :) We are so excited to host you!

Parking is free, and on the property.
Smaller washer and dryer in the house in lower level (down spiral stairs)
You will have the entire house other than small locked owners closet.
We are family owned home. We will share our cell phone upon booking in case issues arise.
There isn’t easy public transportation so you will need a car. Uber is only sometimes available.
There is plenty of free parking.

Best Galena Getaway Experience
It was such a great experience! We saw wild turkeys, chipmunks, and birds of all shapes and sizes. There was a total benefit to have passes for the Galena Territory. It was close to downtown Galena and close to other attractions Galena has to offer. The property is very quiet and clean. We will definitely be coming to this property again!!
