Wonderful Stay in the Woods
My children and I stayed 4 nights after Christmas in Aspenhouse, and it was a fabulous place to unwind and relax after the holidays. The house was set up beautifully for family time, and we loved the feeling of being outside while still in the house. It was warm enough to take a little advantage of the three porches the house has, and can imagine how terrific it would be in the summer or fall. While there was a separate floor in the basement for gathering, we all wanted to be together and the main floor was perfect for it. The kitchen was well stocked, and there were maps and info to everything we needed, including the trails through Galena Territory. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone wanting to enjoy the woods and each other.

The property was beautiful. The house was great for our short get-away. We were able to walk on the trail near the property to enjoy the nature nearby. It was a shorty drive to downtown Galena. Thank you for helping provide a relaxing stay!

Great choice
My family rented this cabin for a 40th birthday getaway. What a lovely house and quiet, secluded spot to enjoy nature. Close enough to town but far enough out to feel the quiet. The owner was easy to communicate with and the house had everything we needed. Can’t recommend enough.

Fall Get-Away
Beautiful property with lots of amenities. Having a grill on the screened-in porch was incredible; there were lots of areas to play games and/or relax; and the trail down to the lake was clearly marked and a great walk. The cabin is set in the middle of a stand of trees so feels very private.
Would definitely stay here again!

Aspen House is a lovely home. Plenty of room & bathrooms. We had hoped to use the fire pit, but it was too windy during our stay. If we have the opportunity to come again, we would definitely stay there!

Perfect place to stay with family
My family really enjoyed our stay at the Aspen house! Close to Galena, and a short drive to many other popular destinations in area. The home had everything we needed for our stay, and our host Hailey was quick with responses to questions regarding our stay. Our favorite spot was the screened porch facing the woods!

Lovely House at the Edge of the Woods
Hailey has thought of everything to make your stay as easy and comfortable as possible. The house is spacious, very clean, nicely decorated and has so many windows that you can enjoy the woods as you relax or prepare meals. We spent a lot of time in the screen porch enjoying the birds, deer and wild turkeys! We hope to return in the future.

4th of July Getaway
The Aspen House was a perfect getaway in a very private setting. It was like a home away from home. The screened in porch came in handy during a of couple rain storms that passed through during our stay. Loved the terraces of the kitchen and bedroom. Our next visit will be in the Fall so we can enjoy the colors.

Lovely Holiday Weekend
The Aspen House is well stocked and nestled in a lovely patch of land. My kids really enjoyed the outdoor play equipment and we put the fire pit to good use. It rained for part of our stay and the projector was fun for the kids to watch a movie on. My husband enjoyed that a grill was available and since it was on the screen porch, he was able to use it during the rain. Finally, Hailey is a great communicator and quickly responded to any questions I had. Great property!

Amazing getaway
This place is a treasure. My husband, teen age son and our dog stayed at Aspen House for nearly a week and we truly did not want to leave. It was so comfortable, quiet and private yet only 15 minutes from Downtown Galena. Right outside the door were miles of beautiful hiking trails. We enjoyed the firepit and relaxing on the screened porch and as others have said, there are wonderful, comfortable spaces to gather or to be alone. Communication was fantastic. We will be back!

This was a cute little house in the woods, near hiking trails and nice amenities. A short 15 minute drive to Galena. Everything was clean and Hailey, the host, was quick to respond to any messages.
