We stayed here over the New Years' weekend and we all kept finding helpful items and thoughtful touches everywhere! From toothbrushes, floss, qtips, shampoo/cond/body wash in each shower to books, puzzles, movies, highchair, pack-n-play ... the hosts thought of everything and it was so easy to stay here! Our kids could have played in the basement all weekend long (air hockey, foosball, shuffleboard, etc) but we also had a wonderful time exploring main street Galena and enjoying a day at Chestnut Mountain Resort.
Our host was communicative and generous, offering an early check-in and late check-out since there was an open calendar around the holiday.
Highly recommend!

My siblings and I and our families met up over Thanksgiving. This place was so well equipped with it everything that we needed! There were so many different areas for adults and kids to be, And Foos ball, air hockey, and shuffleboard. We all thought it was better than the pictures!We enjoyed playing in the big outdoor yard and walking along the lake.

My family of 4 and my best friends family of 4 stayed at this property for a weekend to attend a wedding in the area. The entire stay was fantastic. The house was clean and had even more space than we expected. There were things for the kids to do. The owner provided so many little extras that made staying at the house better. All of the communication I had with Jim was fantastic, he was very helpful and cheerful. It was far and a way the best rental experience i have had.

We were attending a wedding at Council Hill Station and decided to make it a family long weekend. We are glad we did, this place is amazing, the leaves had turned colors so the view was beautiful and the walking trail was great. Our kids enjoyed the firepit out back and we had plenty of space in this beautiful home for all of us and 2 little ones.
Jim is a great host and we plan to return when it is warm out so we can enjoy the lake:)

Host is extremely kind, helpful and communicative and really made sure that our stay was extraordinary! From unexpected early check in to the last day, we have nothing but great memories from our stay.
The home, property, lake and entire Apple Canyon area is beautiful and theres tons to do!! We had a lovely time boating, fishing and golfing, then visited the waterfall and ended our afternoons at the pool.
Everything you could need is already here and if you have kids they will love the downstairs!! So many great memories made this weekend....looking forward to a future visit!

Stress free environment on a beautiful property. Each room was as cozy and inviting, including an updated, beautiful kitchen where all appliances were in working order. Perfect place for multi-family stay. We hope to return when we have time to enjoy the home/yard instead of a place to rest between wedding events.
