Perfect stay over the holidays
Our first Christmas away from home (London) and we wanted to find somewhere special. We were hoping for a white Christmas and certainly got more than we bargained for in Illinois. The house was fantastic and plenty of space for 4 adults. We didn't venture out that much apart from heading into Galena due to the weather, but that did not matter as the house had plenty to keep us amused. Would love to return in the future

Bayward Lodge - Perfect Getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We picked Bayward Lodge for a getaway weekend with friends - Galena was a central meeting place for our group. The place was absolutely beautiful and checked all of our boxes: nice view, 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, gameroom, kitchen, etc. We could not have asked for anything better. The house was very clean and the kitchen well stocked with dishes, utensils, etc. The beds were comfortable with the exception of the one in the basement that as a sag in the middle. The roads to get there are curvy and narrow, but we appreciate being out of the city and away from noise and traffic! We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone!

Great Stay with Friends!
This was a great find for our party of six. House was huge! Bedrooms were more than accomodating and each had a private bath (definetly a plus for our middle age group!) It was clean and comfortable, enjoyed the real fireplace on the cool night. We have stayed at multiple properties in the territories over the years. This was another great find and would stay again in the future.
