Great hosts, cozy place!

This was a perfect getaway home for us and close enough to the Chestnut Mountain ski resort. The place was clean and cozy, and we were greeted with a complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival. The surrounding area was perfect for morning walks and evening relaxation. The best part, our hosts were very accommodating and responsive! Highly recommend this place!

Amazing stay!

This home was exactly what our family needed for our vacation! Roger was the most gracious and helpful host, readily available and very friendly. The home had everything we needed for our stay and the owners club was perfect for the kids. Galena had great dining and shopping and our host suggested the museum aquarium in Dubuque which we all enjoyed. 10/10 would definitely book with Roger & Marilyn again!
