Great property
Really liked the property. I have had a number of VRBO rentals and this was close to the top in terms of being well equipped from kitchen to bathrooms. The private lake was great. Great size. Great toys at the beach. Lots of fish (mostly small) but my 6 year old grandson caught a sunfish in the first five minutes. My grandchildren loved the game room in a separate building.

Honestly, I wish we owned this stunning property!!
This place was PERFECT for our family of 8 adults and 3 young kids. There is SO much to do: swimming in the private (and CLEAN) lake, paddling, cooking, air hockey, darts, pool, cornhole, video games (ours), and movie watching. The living room had enough recliners for ALL THE ADULTS! The beds/bedrooms were so comfortable and with 3 full baths, we all had our privacy. And the littles LOVED the house for hide and seek (yes, we ALL played). Galena is a short drive away and we visited this historic town several times. One day we drove into Dubuque to visit a brewery, have lunch and walk along the river. Dawn (our hostess) was absolutely delightful and responded to my comments in record time! We are working out a date we can return to this amazing place. My husband and kids absolutely loved it!! <3

Perfect for family vacation!
Diane’s home was the perfect place for our family to spend summer vacation together! There was never a dull moment with all the lake activities and the fun game cottage. The bedrooms were clean and larger than expected. We’ll be back again!!
