Jared worked hard to get us into one of his homes after a couple of glitches. He responded quickly to our issues and made what could’ve been a frustrating situation end in a good note. His place was clean and well furnished. Although we didn’t use the entire space, it was roomy and gad some fun extras…games, video game, foosball and additional living space. The amenities available at the resort area were also a great attraction.

We love Galena … and Jared’s place was perfect for our visit. There was plenty of snow on the ground … but the roads and sidewalks were totally clear … and the glow from the lower level fireplace … provided a great setting for the holiday season. Our stay was quiet, scenic, and a wonderful place to retire after exploring during the day. Happy holidays to you and yours!

Great welcoming place that feels like home. Everything is thought about, such as a basket of fluffy throws to wrap yourself in while enjoying the fireplace. Stocked kitchen with all the cooking essentials. Comfortable bedrooms. Not too far from downtown Galena as well as some nice hiking trails. Staid in December, but will definitely come back to enjoy other seasons!

Loved Jared’s place! So clean and organized. I had two toddlers with me and he has pack and play, high chair, and even baby plates! Very kid friendly! We would stay there again!

Jared’s cozy condo was perfect for our Galena stay. It’s just a quick drive away from downtown Galena but tucked away in the most peaceful setting - we loved coming back to it to relax after a day of shopping. The condo itself has everything you’d need for a comfortable stay, and The Galena Territory, where it’s situated, has endless walking trails and so much more. An easy 5-star review!
