Pefect place to stay!

Submitted: November 8, 2009 Stayed: May 2009
This house is amazing! The house is decorated beautifully, clean and in a quiet location with breathtaking views. We got married at this house. It was the perfect location for a very important day. The master bedroom made the perfect bridal suite with all large mirrors, furniture and mini fridge for our mimosa's. All the men joined at the bar and in the game room. We had our ceremony outside on the garden terrace (the view made an amazing back drop) and the reception was inside. Our guests had a wonderful time admirring the views, drinking and dancing in O'Donnells pub and just relaxing with good conversation on the many decks. We had our immediate family stay with us at the house for the entire weekend. It was so relaxing and intimate, Our Friday night rehersal was a cook out at the house, We have so many cherished memories from the entire weekend. If I had it to do over again...I would just add a few more days to our trip. I would highley reccomend this house for important events and gatherings. This house is a one stop shop for special occassions! I would be happy to share pictures with anyone considering doing any kind of event similar to ours at this house.

Christmas in Galena Territory

5 of 5
Submitted: December 19, 2011 Stayed: December 2011
Once again, the home in the Galena Territories provided many Christmas memories that will be remembered for years. Mother Nature even contributed with an unpredicted couple of inches of snow on our "Christmas Eve" experience. The drieway and steps were cleared first thing the next morning, so we had no inconvenience from the snow. The hill next to the house made for ideal sledding for the grandkids. To say that this vacation home is perfect in every way would be an understatement. Looking out over the wooded area in the morning we caught glimpses of deer, rabbits, squirrels and even a lone coyote. One of the grandkids was given a camera for Christmas, which got a real workout almost immediately it. It is hard to put in words how fantastic the inside of this home is. Nothing is left to the imagination. It has it all, from the enormous bedroom suite upstairs to the hot tub on the deck.. This home is clean,easy to find and has amenities that make any vacation a memorable experience. The many decks give fantastic views of the woods and golf course. There is even a game room down a hallway that can be enjoyed without noise carrying throughout the rest of the home. I would definately recommend this home to anyone. My grandkids, as well as their parents and great grandmother all agree with me on this. We had a wonderful Christmas weekend.
Owner's Response: We are happy that we have been able to be part of your Christmas experience in such a positive way. We had nothing to do with the dusting of snow but will gladly take credit for it. The wild life in the Territories is spectacular and the best time to get a gimps of it is during the winter months. We never tire of it! Thank you for taking the time to write a review and Happy Holidays to you and your family.

FABULOUS

5 of 5
Submitted: November 9, 2011 Stayed: October 2011
FABULOUS! Great, user friendly and beautiful home. The trip was easy from start to finish. This home contributed to memories for our children and grandchildren that were above and beyond our expectations. Home is very well equipped especially the kitchen. No need to drag along your big casserole dish to make your favorite breakfast....it's there (yes! I brought mine along with other items that I did not need because the home was so well stocked). Love! Love! Love! this place for any occasion or to just get away from the hustle bustle. Our family will be making efforts to make an annual visit.
Owner's Response: We were happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Since we have a large family ourselves it was not hard to think big when we stocked the kitchen. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
