The master bath offers a great whirlpool tub and shower with a double sink vanity. The main level features a Queen bedroom with en suite bath. When you enter the lower level you will find the family room where you can relax, play games, or watch movies or the big game on the 55" TV and pool table. The lower level is also home to our other Queen bedroom and then our double twin bedroom. This home features a comfortable screened in porch on the main level w/deck and then a great place to sit on the patio below and look out over the yard. The backyard is also the location of our new fire pit - enjoy!

Friends annual getaway
This was home-base for an annual gathering of long-time friends. Through pictures descriptions and correspondence, we could tell exactly what we were getting. The bedrooms and en suites were clean and comfortable. I especially liked the owner’s suite. The living areas were very comfortable. We really enjoyed gathering on the deck backing up to the forest. The entire group really enjoyed the whole property.

Nice Stay- Peaceful Retreat
Nice place in a peaceful setting north of Galena- nice trails just outside the door for hiking. Location was a little farther from downtown Galena that we anticipated but that is a very minor thing. Good comfortable house with plenty to do. Note: Dog-friendly for sure but bring some gates if you want to keep them on a certain floor of the house!

This is the second time we stayed at this property. I highly recommend this house for a large family stay. It's dog friendly. The owners provide lots of extra fun stuff. We did have to call the owners while we were there with a minor issue.. One phone call and somebody came out to fix the problem within hours..Excellent weekend stay.

Friend retreat
The property was great! If we could’ve stayed longer we would have! Everything was in pretty great shape and the management was very responsive and accommodating! The only thing I would change is the couch in the lower game room. It’s not terrible, but it’s been well loved in the house and is probably due for an upgrade in the near future. There is a 100% chance that we would book again!

Beautiful house
We had a wonderful stay at Talisman. The house had so much room and we loved how every bedroom had a bathroom. Our two little ones loved everything about this home from the fire pit to the screened in porch, even the hot tub. The location was great and the home was perfect. Con: the cleaning service could have done a better job. There was food still from previous renters left on the table and a few other things that weren’t paid attention to that should have been.
