This was my first time using Vbro. Sarah was timely and efficient in communicating if there was anything I wanted or in a few cases, needed to know. The house itself was immaculately clean and perfect for a quiet and much needed break with the family! The QR codes really helped out when there was a question. It felt like being home. I do wish we could have stayed longer and the house was two hours further east but that comes with the territory I suppose.
UNEXPECTED SURPRISE: We had five deer take a break to graze on the grass in the front yard the morning of our check out, very nice to see wildlife up close.

We’ve been going to Galena for the last decade and have stayed at many great properties in the territories. This house is cute, clean, and well appointed. The owners are nice and respond quickly. We will definitely book here again. Thank you for everything.

Five friends met up for an overdue long weekend in Galena. Have gone the B&B route in the past, but decided to try this VRBO property as it is pet friendly which we needed this time.
Sarah is extremely helpful and prompt with communication. We had to change our length of stay (within the change/cancellation window), and she was very understanding and processed our one night refund immediately. She emailed all check in and check out instructions, property manual, etc. prior to our arrival, and we had no issues during our stay.
The property was well appointed, SUPER clean, and the beds were amazingly comfortable. Lovely wooded backyard area (peak fall colors were an added bonus). We enjoyed both the indoor wood fireplace and outdoor fire pit, and the property is very quiet and serene. Saw many deer and wild turkeys during our stay! The trek into Galena was just under 15 minutes, so super easy to go back and forth for shopping, dining, and activities.
We had a wonderful stay, and hope to return one day. Would definitely recommend!

Great house to just sit and relax watching the turkeys come and go in the backyard. Everything is labeled and easy to use. Very quiet with lots of little touches. Good location away from everything yet just a close drive away from downtown.

Thank you for your hospitality!

We had an amazing stay at Sarah’s. There is nothing she hasn’t thought of. Beds were comfy, sheets we newer. Refrigerator had all the things you hate to buy because your not going to take them home with you like ketchup and mayonnaise, bandaids, wood for fire pit. Everything was clean. Bathrooms where in good shape. The jacuzzi tub was amazing. My grandchildren loved it. Easy to communicate. We didn’t go to the pool but she had owners passes if we had wanted to. We did cook breakfast and several dinners. Everything you need was in the kitchen. Even makings for s’mores and roasting utensils too. We made s’mores 3 times. WiFi worked great and Netflix and the roku were easy. The only thing we had trouble with was the thermostat. We were there in 80+ days and the upstairs was hot. We did adjust the thermostat but in the middle of the night it would reset to economy mode. We did try to figure that out to no avail. Keeping it set to cool off the upstairs which worked fine but than the downstairs was chilly. Regardless we had a lovely stay and we plan to visit again and stay at Sarah’s. I highly recommend staying. Sarah’s place is fantastic! We have been to Galena many times I highly recommend it and stay at Sarah’s. My family all gave it a 10+ and they are very opinionated.👍😊

Really enjoyed staying in this super comfortable and well thought out designed home! Screened in porch a must in the summer time! Great communications with the owners led to a great short stay there!

This property was perfect for our family. We were travelling with our daughter, son-in-law, and two grandchildren. The house had bedrooms to accommodate everyone, and a wonderful living room area for everyone to visit together. There is also a screened in porch, if you prefer to sit outside. It was close enough to the places/activities we wanted to see/do. The wildlife in the backyard was great, too - deer and wild turkeys both walked through the yard. The property owner was wonderful to work with. She provided us with all of the information we needed to easily check in and out. It's a lovely home, and we had a stress free weekend!

The neighborhood is charming, quiet, and scenic. The house is immaculate with everything you need to cook a meal, have drinks, relax or go exploring. I didn't realize it came with a club house pool and much more! The beds are sooooo comfortable. The wildlife is fun to watch. Minutes from town but you feel like you are out in the country.

House layout was very nice, the upstairs provided almost a separate living area for our son/daughter-in-law and their young children.
Light switches are all labeled which is helpful.

We stayed three nights here then drove the great river road back to St. Louis. This house was perfect for two couples. Everything was so organized and the communication with Sarah was fantastic. We arrived late on our first night and everything was perfectly prepared for our stay including the coffee for the morning. We really enjoyed staying in the Galena territory while we explored Galena. We would definitely stay at this house again.

It was enough space for 6 girls! If you wake up to the sun then it might be a problem. She has the house very well organized. And the master bed was sooooo comfy and the shower was amazing never wanted to get out.

The property was well kept and beautiful, as was the area. We were in the area for a memorial service, so we did not have time to enjoy all the amenities, but hope to in the future!

Highly recommend this property! Our stay was wonderful. The house is clean, cozy, and comfortable. It’s perfect for a girls weekend! The owners have thought of all the little things (e.g., bandaids, extension cords for the outlets next to the bed, board games, extra blankets, fully stocked showers, etc.). The house is nestled in a lovely wooded area with lots of greenery. It is a quick drive from downtown Galena. There aren’t blinds on the windows in the living room, so just don’t watch any scary movies before your stay and it’ll be just fine ;). You can’t go wrong with this pick!

Love this place! Looks small when you come up to it but when you walk in you are already upstairs, a lovely staircase that leads you down to the family room and kitchen! Great bathrooms and a nice screened in porch! Will stay here again! Thanks!

Great house, loved all the little helpful notes throughout the house. One of the pictures made it look like there was a grill on the deck but there was not, very minor disappointment because there was a mini one in the storage closet. Very quiet neighborhood, excellent experience, would definitely stay again.

Loved everything about our stay here in the territories. The place was spacious for 4 people, well maintained and very clean. We took advantage of the screened in porch. Sarah, our host was very fast to respond and accommodating. Such a lovely little place. Our only regret was not having more time. Definitely recommend!
