Christmas in October

Property managers are great, very accommodating and helpful. Loved the autumn colors and secluded property with plenty of room to enjoy both inside and outside for my extended family of three generations. Highly recommend for extended family or business events.

Beautiful, spacious, property with great views and animal entertainment.

My buddies and I hold a “Guys” weekend trip every summer, and this property was perfect for our group. The property fits the area quite well, open, lots of rolling hills and lush. The gorgeous interior of the house itself is huge and can accommodate a ton of people. Amenities abound, kitchen, baths, bedrooms, and living areas are all modern w tvs in most rooms. Hosts were great,We had some electrical issues, and were fixed the next morning. There is a water fowl pond with many ducks and geese,but no smell, it was good entertainment. Chicken coop on the property too. Also 3 guardian livestock dogs. It was intimidating at first, and not dictated in the website, however they were very sweet and gentle. Wrap around porch is where we hung out the most, which was great. We had a great time and we all were very impressed!

A group of us meet up a few days each year to relax and unwind from the hustle and bustle of life. We've been doing this since 2000! This year we chose Jolene and Tony's villa because it had enough bedrooms and is tucked away off the beaten path. Upon arrival, Jolene gave us a quick tour, which was helpful. When you walk into the home you immediately notice all of the repurposed barn wood. There is nothing old about the home though. It's got all the modern amenities you'd expect like zoned AC, a full kitchen, gas grill, fire pit, wraparound porch, Wi-Fi and 3 bathrooms. I don't remember reading about a working farm but there is a chicken coup, ducks and dogs on the property. There is also a cabin that can be rented separately so other people may be on property too. While it is private, we did have several cars come down the driveway and then turn around. Overall, we had zero problems. If you're looking for an alternative to staying in Galena, consider the Villa. Check in and Check out was a breeze and we appreciated Jolene and Tony for respecting our privacy. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us, even if it was just a few short days.
