The home is beautiful and the views are amazing! We had a group of 12 and everyone had their own bedroom with a private bath. We enjoyed an early Thanksgiving dinner together all seated around the large dining table. The butler pantry with additional oven, sink, etc. was a huge help. It was a great spot to play games as well. Mark was very helpful and responded quickly as was Joe, the ranch hand. We would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Disappointing stay. The home was dirty when we arrived (used linens, dirty bathrooms, etc.) and we couldn’t check in for over two hours while it was cleaned. The listing was misleading — the “private golf course/ranch” was actually shared with other homes. The house was also unfinished, with construction materials inside and a missing fire alarm in one room. Not worth the price and would not stay again.

Family gathering

Great place for a large family gathering. Everyone had their own beds. Large kitchen and table so all of us could gather and share a meal together. 10 mile views off the deck. Lots of different activities on the farm. Enjoyed Galena and the territories.

Retirement Party

Though we did not stay there overnight, this property was perfect for our dinner party. There was ample space to gather and relax. Our caterer had plenty of room to prepare the multi-course meal in private and plate/serve in front of the guests. We would not hesitate to use this property again!

As Good As (If Not Better Than) It Looks

We had a three night family reunion here. 14 adults and a 2 year-old. This is an amazing house. 1) All bedrooms with private bath and large TV. 2) Outstanding kitchen - really a double kitchen with a butler's space (very large refrigerator, two restaurant size stoves, two large sinks, large island, well equipped). 3) Dining table that will seat 16 or more. 4) Large screen TVs all over the space (which was great for college bowl games). 5) Well appointed - this place feels rich. 6) Amazing, amazing views of rolling hills from a private space. 7) Much more. 8) Owners and farmhand were very easy and great to work with. I highly recommend this place. We look forward to going back.

Beautiful home in a beautiful location

We loved our stay! We had a large group and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The hot tub is very large and half of it is a jetted swim area which was cool. We loved sitting in the hottub and looking out at the views. We made all of our meals at the house and the kitchen was well-stocked. We would absolutely stay here again.
