Amazing stay!

This home was exactly what our family needed for our vacation! Roger was the most gracious and helpful host, readily available and very friendly. The home had everything we needed for our stay and the owners club was perfect for the kids. Galena had great dining and shopping and our host suggested the museum aquarium in Dubuque which we all enjoyed. 10/10 would definitely book with Roger & Marilyn again!

Perfect spot!

This location was a perfect retreat from the business of downtown. It was quiet and peaceful. It was also fun to sit on the deck and watch both the wildlife and the golfers. The condo was comfortable and well stocked. We recommend this to others and we would stay there again.

Great hosts, cozy place!

This was a perfect getaway home for us and close enough to the Chestnut Mountain ski resort. The place was clean and cozy, and we were greeted with a complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival. The surrounding area was perfect for morning walks and evening relaxation. The best part, our hosts were very accommodating and responsive! Highly recommend this place!

Great place/great location

This place is excellent. Great on many levels, not the least of which is location within a couple of minutes from the golf courses. Also it’s really well stocked with everything you need. Quality throughout and hope to stay here again next year. Thanks!

Great stay at Family-Friendly Galena Rental: Golf Course Access!

This rental had everything we needed. Very clean, spacious. Owner's club was excellent. Close to downtown Galena. Took a drive to the Musuem and Aquarium in Dubuque which was only 30 min away. Bottle of wine and snacks were a nice welcoming touch. Would stay here again.

Wonderful Galena Territory Stay

We booked this as a last minute trip due to travel conditions to our original destination becoming unsafe. We are so happy we did. We have found a new area, only hours from where we live that we will be coming back to year after year. The accommodations are fantastic, clean, and well-located in the Galena Territory. They are just miles away from shopping, dining, fishing, trails, and golf—all that while still being away from the "city" life. The instructions left by the owners were great. Check-in went without incident. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

What a great property! So clean and nicely decorated. The amenities and extras were a surprise too. Coffee bar, snacks, wine, games…they really made us feel so welcomed. This is a great place for a family or two couples to stay comfortably! It’s right on the golf course and less than 15 minutes to downtown Galena! We will be back!

Family gathering

This was the perfect home to stay in as we visited Galena. It’s in a beautiful forested area; a short, gorgeous drive to Galena. We were impressed with the cleanliness and the thoughtfulness of our hosts. A bottle of wine greeted us, as well as some popcorn and breakfast bars. I always appreciate the special touches like this.

Welcoming and good communication

My sisters and I enjoyed our stay very much! The communication was superb with the owners and the place is very well maintained! It was perfect for our needs and felt like ‘home’. Our little welcome goodies were so sweet and thoughtful! Close enough to Galena yet just a few miles out of town where is was quiet. Would definitely recommend renting this place and Evolve was easy to use as well!

Beautiful Townhome!

We had a wonderful stay at this townhome. It was comfortable and clean. The host was welcoming, friendly and checked in with us to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. The rental was very clean upon arrival. Its location was beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the back deck in the mornings and watching the sunset in the evenings. We would highly recommend checking this place out if you are in the Galena area! We look forward to staying again soon.

Worthy of BFF reunion

Couldn’t have been better! Close to many points of nature from outside back door to 40 miles away. Loved historic Galena, boutique shopping, good restaurants as well as relaxing at “home” Condo as all the comforts of home. Patio comfortable for coffee in am, wine and games in evening ! Just what we hoped it would be!
