Amenities include a pool, golf course, basketball court, gym, scenic 13-mile trail for running/walking/snow shoes/cross country skiing, tennis courts, relax at the beach, or enjoy lakefront dining. This home is in close proximity to the Apple River State Park or Galena where you can shop, relax at a day spa, or visit a local winery.

Great little spot!
Exactly what we were looking for! Plenty of room for our two families to sleep - the kids loved the bunk room. The home is well appointed with everything you could need in the kitchen, a plethora of games, movies, fun stuff like foosball and shuffle board. Excellent location - you can walk to the lake from the back yard. The Apple Canyon pool and beach are great. Can't wait to come back!

Wow!!! Thoughtful items for easy, comfortable stay.
We stayed here over the New Years' weekend and we all kept finding helpful items and thoughtful touches everywhere! From toothbrushes, floss, qtips, shampoo/cond/body wash in each shower to books, puzzles, movies, highchair, pack-n-play ... the hosts thought of everything and it was so easy to stay here! Our kids could have played in the basement all weekend long (air hockey, foosball, shuffleboard, etc) but we also had a wonderful time exploring main street Galena and enjoying a day at Chestnut Mountain Resort. Our host was communicative and generous, offering an early check-in and late check-out since there was an open calendar around the holiday. Highly recommend!

There were so many different areas for adults and kids to be, And Foos ball, air hockey, and shuffleboard.

Wedding weekend
My family of 4 and my best friends family of 4 stayed at this property for a weekend to attend a wedding in the area. The entire stay was fantastic. The house was clean and had even more space than we expected. There were things for the kids to do. The owner provided so many little extras that made staying at the house better. All of the communication I had with Jim was fantastic, he was very helpful and cheerful. It was far and a way the best rental experience i have had.

We had a great time with our adult children. The house worked out great for us. Lots of activities at the house and in the area. We rented Jim's boat and had a beautiful day on the lake. The marina, pool, golf course are all very nice. They have all the lake toys available. Would definitely come back.
