Everything was perfect during our stay. Communication was 5 stars! The hot tub was a hit and very clean!
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
We rented for a week in April. Only got to use the hot tub once due to the weather. But it was very nice. Do wish it had a screen for privacy. The house was nice but could use some updating. We had trouble with the tv's. The one in bedroom & game rm didn't work. And the one in living rm had a loud buzzing sound at times. Also the stairs are very steep. However the bedrooms were nice & beds comfortable. And Brian was always quick to respond to any questions we had & very nice. Galena is a great place to visit with many good restaurants & shops.

Great stay. The house was clean, the hot tub was
6 / 10Average·Jun 2025
The house is in a great location on a quiet cul-de-sac with woods in the backyard. The 3 bedrooms all have ensuite baths, which is a great feature. We were disappointed in the overall condition of the property. Walking up to the front door, the timber pathway is uneven and some timbers are deteriorating. The laminate floor on the main floor is separating. There are stains on the ceiling tiles in the main floor bathroom. We ate most of our meals in the house and found the kitchen equipment to be basic. The plates are chipped and the flatware is mismatched. The deck in the back is also showing signs of deterioration. Overall, we felt that the property is aging and in need of maintenance and updating. We have stayed at several other properties in the Galena Territory and found them to be better maintained with higher-quality finishes. In summary, the house met our needs but not our expectations.
