Repeat Guests

We have stayed at this property four times, and we have had an enjoyable time each visit. We prepare our evening meals at the home, but we have noticed that some of the preparations items (skillets, kitchen utensils, kitchen towels) are in poor condition. The couches in the living room and the dining chairs are also quite worn and need to be replaced. We recommend this property, keeping these issues in mind.

Weekend in the Galena Territory

We spent a winter weekend in the Territory. The house was neat and warm and very cozy. There are two fireplaces (non-wood burning ) that kept us toasty. The rental provided access to the Territory’s Owners Club and its fitness center, which was a nice plus. We really enjoyed our stay.

Cozy, charming cottage

My family and I really enjoyed our relaxing stay at this cozy and charming cottage. It was the perfect size, and we had everything we could have needed. With the cold temperatures, we really enjoyed the fireplace which not only warmed up the rooms, but made them extra cozy and relaxing. The cottage was the perfect size for our family of 4 (and dogs), and it was the perfect getaway. We would definitely stay here again!

Convenient

Overall it’s a nice, small community of 2 bedroom cottages which back up to a wooded area. The place is clean and comfortable! It was convenient to have two bedrooms each with its own bathroom. It was a 10 minute scenic drive to go to Galena!

Tiny but efficient use of space

This was the perfect fit for my family of 4, parents and 2 adult children. We were able to utilize the 2 bedrooms and pullout couch so everyone had their own accommodations. The 2 full and one 1/2 bath were essential for harmony and sanity during our stay. Kitchen and dining room had great use of space and had everything we needed. And the fact that the host contacted us 30 min before our check in to let us know that the house was ready was a huge help in getting us to our 5:00 family event a bit less hurried.

Cozy Stay

This was a great location with a beautiful view of the waterfall through the winter trees. The home was the perfect size and had everything we needed to feel comfortable and at home. It was great to have two full baths on the second floor attached to bedrooms and to also have the half bath on the first floor. Stacy was extremely responsive but everything was where she said it would be and check-in/out was super easy. Very easy drive to the general store and out of the territories. Would stay again for sure!

Quiet nice place

We enjoyed our stay. House was clean, well stocked and felt new. The only thing we couldn't figure out was how to make the TV work. Better instructions would be helpful. But we were fine not turning it on. Would recommend.

Comfortable Home

Very nice property with great amenities. The property manager was very quick to reply when the TV didn’t turn in. Came to find out it was unplugged. We were very happy to have a nice kitchen, laundry and 2 1/2 baths available! Highly recommend the unit! It should be noted that the GTA does not allow electric bikes on the paths. We rode our bikes after dinner since the road is busy and narrow.

Wonderful house and you will not be disappointed!

This little house was simply adorable and we loved the decor. The space was very clean. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable and the showers have excellent water pressure. We have never been to The Settlements and we were so surprised how quiet and cute the area is. This rental was one of the most well stocked properties in which we have stayed. No doubt we would stay here again when visiting Galena. Thank you Stacy!
