Enjoy the large living areas indoor & out. Features 2 kitchen areas, 2 decks, rec. room & peaceful views. There are several options for local entertainment perfect for families or group of friends. Just some of the local options - beach, swimming pool, fishing, hunting or just a simple relaxation while taking in all nature has to offer. There's something for all!

This is truly a beautiful home with a lot of space to enjoy making memories with your family and friends. Some local activities to do are fishing, swimming pool, local beach, hunting, hiking trails, tennis/basketball courts, and much more.

The rental slots fill up fast so the sooner you let me know the better chance of getting a reservation. We are also located only 25 minutes from Galena and all it has to offer.

Family friendly clean home just as advertised. Comfortably slept 8 Could have easily had 2 more there if needed. Quiet street. Game room and outdoor area with the fire pit were great for our visit to the area for a family wedding. We’d stay there again if the need arises.

This house was fantastic for our girls weekend for a bachelorette party. The girls loved the game room. The fire pit was lovely. The rooms had plenty of sleeping space. The kitchen had everything we needed. Utilizing the community pool was easy to use and the girls loved it. The rental provided a great value for what we were looking for. The only downside was the runners in the group were not expecting the hills on the trail system. But we just considered that good training.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
Nice property with great accomodations. Drawbacks included the fee schedule, lack of baking pans (muffin tins & 9x13 pan), small kitchen with small microwave & dishwasher, & lateness of stay confirmation which affected some being able to get off work. High points included well stocked bathrooms, game room, nice firepit, 3 bathrooms, 4 comfortable bedrooms.
