1- there were ants in the kitchen. On the walls and on the counters. You should have that checked 2- there were some outlets that did not work. One in the bathroom, one in the bedroom main floor and one in the family room. 3- there was an order from the garbage can cabinet. Musty smell. We sprayed Lysol but it did not go away. 4- concerned about the tape in the upstairs bath.

Family Time for the 4th of July!

Our family was looking for a place to stay where there would be no fireworks allowed on the property because our dog is extremely fearful of the noise. We were pleasantly surprised that we did not hear more than 5 pops and that was it! The townhouse was very clean and comfortable. Each couple had a king sized bed! The kitchen was well stocked and we prepared a few meals. We had access to the community pool which was fun for us and our grandson. We also golfed on the property. Our host was always prompt with any questions we may have had. Overall we had a lovely stay!

Wonderful weekend, perfect place!

We have used vacation rental sites for years to go on trips with our family and have had good and bad experiences.. and this was a wonderful experience! We traveled with our college aged sons and with our dogs. Everyone had space and plenty of it. The home was comfortable and well equipped with everything you could need! We were able to enjoy Galena and the area, went for a horseback ride, and also spent time in the home watching movies, making dinner, playing games and being together. Everything was so clean and fresh. Definitely would (and probably will!) stay here again!
