Lovely house

This was our family’s second visit to this lovely property. The lower level was the perfect location for our son, his wife and our 2 grandsons. Our 3 year old especially loved the toys and bumper pool table. The upper level was a perfect congregating spot for meals and family time. The house was very clean and neat and communication with the management was very good. We were very pleased with our stay and plan on coming back again next year.

Nice home , with everything we needed . Home was very clean though the furniture in the screened porch had some stains. Very impressed that we were called the day before we checked in to see if we had any questions. Suggestion would be to put grab bar or some adhesive stickers on floor of bathtub in downstairs shower , very slippery , friend fell but unharmed . Good stay

Beautiful home, quite neighborhood, great communication

My family loved staying at this home, 3 couples each got their own room AND bathroom! The forest view is nice, we saw a deer in the yard as well as bunnies. The enclosed porch with seating is wonderful to enjoy the outside without the bugs. The owner communicated with us before our visit and to provide a quick update on the door code. Will stay again!

Milestone birthday celebration over 4th of July

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house was absolutely perfect for our crew. It was so nice to have 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms for all of us. It was such a quiet and peaceful area! We loved the screened in porch and being able sit out there for just relaxing as well as game nights! We cooked in and ate out, checked out downtown Galena, visited a winery and stopped at some breweries. Some played golf and thoroughly enjoyed that. The pool access was a bonus and we loved being able to use it. This house is nestled in a perfect location and close enough to get to many things quickly and easily. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend this property to any future guests!

Cozy and comfortable

The 3 ensuite bedrooms were perfect for our group of 3 couples. The screened porch was surrounded by color-changing landscaping and provided a comfy place to relax. The house is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare meals. We enjoyed walking the on-site trails. This was our second time staying at this property and have plans to return.

Perfect get-away

This was truly a home-away-from home, located in a secluded area. Each couple had their own bedroom and bath to allow for privacy. The common areas were spacious and comfy. The kitchen was well-stocked with anything you could possibly need to prepare meals. Everything was spotlessly clean. Kristen was great at communicating with me about the property and even took care of a rogue smoke-alarm while we were there. This is a real gem in the Galena area.

Our group of four friends stayed at 15 Bluffwood Trl 10/9 - 10/12 and enjoyed our time very much. The house has a great room when you enter which was super clean and had plenty of room for us. We had space thru out the house to relax after some long days of exploring Galena. Highly recommend this home to anyone and would love to come back again!

Spacious, airy, bright and perfect for a small family/party

Really enjoyed large living room, deck, screened in porch, and fireplace. Kitchen area is small but has all basics and nice large dining table. Main bedroom could use some shades. Fire pit area was small and in awkward space to use. Overall, appreciated spaciousness and many sitting areas and pretty decor. Host Kristen was friendly and responsive.
