We've stayed here twice before and it always works well for our family. Plenty of space and amenities. It's close to the owners club for swimming, but not on top of other properties.

I would highly recommend this house to anyone who is looking to get away. It’s fairly secluded but yet close enough to downtown galena. Had a great time. Will stay here again.

Great space for our family to hunker down over the Thanksgiving holiday. Loved that the meal’s cook still gets to be with the family while the rest of us play games at the dining table or watch a movie, great size for a hot tub, and appreciated all amenities. Thanks!

This was our fourth annual family get together at a Galena Escape property.This home was beautiful, clean and well stocked. It had a beautiful large hot tub, new gas grill, and great fire pit area with new chairs. We were concerned that the internet phone service was non existent. In fact, the first night. The landline didn’t work either. Our cell phones stated we had SOS mode. The day we departed our cell phones were working. Linda and Gail are always prompt in returning our e-mails or phone calls.

Overall a very good experience. Easy to rent, check in and check out. All mechanicals working well. Great location close to pool and marina but remote enough for lots of peace and quiet. Home was clean enough but needs a deep clean - kitchen walls especially. Liked the list of items to bring from the rental company. Need to add soap for the showers as there was nothing provided but hand soap at the sinks.

My husband and I stayed at this property for my son's wedding, which was at Oakhill Farm. It was a 25-minute drive from the venue. As the groom's mom it was a little ways away on roads I am not familiar with but worth it. Our Keurig broke on the 3rd day, I called the manager immediately, and they had a new one there within the hour. My only recommendation to others, plan accordingly if you want to go to the Owners Club to use the exercise room/ pool (GO EARLY). We couldn't get a spot and had to leave, and that was 10:30 a.m.Side Note: We had the rehearsal dinner at Eagle Ridge / Highlands Restaurant, the staff was amazing. We loved that it was only 6 minutes up the road. We enjoyed our stay, glad we chose it.

This was the best 3 night trip. So peaceful I feel like we were gone a week. The area is beautiful and we really enjoyed ourselves.

I stayed here with 4 girlfriends for a weekend and we found the house to be a little sub-par compared to other Galena Territory properties we've stayed at. A few things:
- Keurig wasn't working properly
- Garage door wasn't working properly - one sensor stayed red, one green so it would close and immediately go back up.
- Front keyless lock was infuriating and we could not get it to lock at all, following all instructions and basically trying everything. Had to lock from the inside and go out the back patio door each time. It unlocked just fine.
- Cobwebs all over the basement bedroom in the ceiling corners
- When the temperature is decent upstairs, it's absolutely freezing downstairs, had to use all available blankets on a very hot weekend.
- The house looks much smaller than the pictures would have you believe. Yes we know it was 2100 sq ft, but pictures don't convey how small it really feels.
- Minor but the pacman game in the basement does not allow 2 players, even though it is a 2 player game.
- Pool table has 1 pool cue (and one small cue but no stand) - kinda a pain.
Overall it wasn't a terrible experience, but we would not choose to stay here again.
We did not contact the property managers with these issues because we were only there for a quick weekend and being in & out of the house, it just wasn't worth the time or hassle.

The property was a very nice place, plenty of room inside and outside. The game room downstairs was a huge plus with the kids. They played there most of the time lol.

Communication great, cleanliness great, location good, fun games, nice hot tub and fire pit. Very disappointed that they counted their pull out couches as sleepable beds. These pullout mattresses are extremely short and approx 3” thick. But, There is plenty of floor space to bring your own blow up mattress. Thank goodness we brought one as backup for our 7th adult.

Lovely house in a lovely location. Easy and inviting. We enjoyed the porch, the views, and the property. It is close to the owners club and an easy car trip into downtown Galena for dinner/shops. We had a minor issue getting the garage door to stay down and phoned the property manager. She answered immediately and texted us the solution in minutes. She was friendly and no one even needed to come out. Very clean and well arranged.

Great house for a family gathering. The home was very clean and had all the basic needs available. Comfortable furnishing's. The multigame arcade console was really cool. Had alot of older games. Pool table was great. Some items need to be replaced like the chairs around the fire pit were plastic and a couple were unusable but we had brought our own camping chairs so no big deal. Grill was useable but has seem better days. Hot tub was clean and ready to go. Very peaceful surroundings and beautiful views. Overall a great weekend getaway home!

The house was great! It was tucked away in a area that gave us a cabin like feel. The space was well laid out to where we all had enough seating in the common areas. Thw hot tub was perfect! The only small feedback was the bed in the master suite, it was super uncomfortable.

Such a spacious nice well kept home in the hilly countryside of Galena. The games and pool table were a hit for everyone. The hot tub was so relaxing with a lovely view of the trees. Owners club pool was a 2 min drive, could even walk to it if weather was good.

We stayed at the coldest time and the heat broke. The company was right on top of it and did a great time getting us heat quickly. Would definitely would stay here again.

The house was very clean, especially the bathrooms. Know that you need to bring your own towels to the indoor pool. This was the first VRBO where we had access to park in the garage at night. This was really nice, as it snowed each night, and we didn't have to scrape the car each morning before heading out to go skiing. Also, it is appreciated with this property (compared to others we rented in the Galena Territory) that we did not have to drive to garbage dump before leaving and service was provided. My kids loved the Ms. Pac Man arcade game, pool table, and chess table. They specifically asked to rent this unit again next year. The hot tub was hot and ready for use when we arrived, too, unlike the last unit we rented last year in the Galena Territory. Overall, it's was great! We appreciated the quiet and serene location.

Really liked the layout of the rooms and sofa beds. It did get cold downstairs like the heat was not distributed evenly. Hot tub was nice and worked great. Appreciated the cable and movie channels.

We loved our stay in this home. From the hot tub to the fire pit to the master suit jacuzzi, pool table, and retro video game - being in the home itself was a vacation and we didn't really feel the need to leave. The community around the home is amazing too. Trails to hike and so much beauty right outside your door. Lake Galena was great for a day of fishing and boating (we rented from there), the owners club is a great amenity too. We'd stay here again . . . and again, and again.

This is our 2nd time coming to this property, and everything is as it is described - once again. Great property, location, and extremely well taken care of. We got to use the hot tub this time, and it was amazing after a round of golf! Thanks again, and we will be back!

We enjoyed our stay in this home. It was clean and well equipped. Bonus having a garage to park in as well as extra fridge in garage. However, the fridge did not get very cold to get beverages cold even though it was set on coldest setting. We also had problems with the ignitor on the gas grill working, so took awhile to get lit. The cell phone reception is pretty spotty and poor at times. Other than these minor issues, we really like this home and plan on staying again.
