Fall get away

The villa was very beautiful and cozy. Home away from home. Except in Galena territory. We have stayed many Villas and Homes in the territory throughout the years. Our family loves coming here from the Suburbs to get away and enjoy beautiful nature.

Perfect get-away

My husband and our best friends and I decided to do a weekend get-away to Galena, and this was the perfect stay! The house was beautiful, clean and the perfect size! The bedrooms both offered plenty of room and comfortable beds, and each couple had their own bathroom which was perfect! We were close enough to downtown that Friday night we went in and enjoyed a late night of live music, but we could drive in and out no problem! We also appreciated having the living space with the fireplace for Saturday night so we could curl up and watch movies after a day of shopping and site-seeing! We ordered food on Saturday night from Woodlands, which was delicious and they delivered it right to us! The landscape was gorgeous driving and viewing! We would highly recommend this property to others and/or stay here again!!! Easy check out and check in! Owner was great to work with!
