Wonderful weekend at this beautiful location and home. Plenty of space, bedrooms, bathrooms for everyone. Spa tub was great. Walking on property and seeing all animals was fun. Wish we could have stayed longer! Would definitely return - so perfect for large groups. Joe, the Ranch Hand was great as well!

The house and grounds are expansive, comfortable and beautiful. There are ample pots, pans, plates and utensils for cooking as well as grilling. The online listing is a bit confusing on the location of the property. Overall, we had a wonderful time and will be repeat renters in the future.

The ranch is a unique gem. It was wonderful to have the space to spend time and relax with everyone coming in from 4 states and 6 cities. We could not have found a more lovely, comfortable and spacious place for our gathering. The views, animals, game room, and terraces provided everyone so many options for entertainment or quiet time as desired. Just be sure to bring your walking shoes to find each other up and down the 3 flights and halls of the ranch, or to enjoy a nice long walk in the peaceful surroundings.

The home is massive and in a lovely property, but furnishings were old and things could have been cleaner. But the golf course, views and friendly ranch hand added a great vibe!

A long weekend for 8 couples. The house’s accommodations were perfect. Plenty of bedrooms & baths. The main kitchen and FR was our main hangout & provided enough sitting space for all. The additional kitchens preserved as an overflow for items needing refrigeration. The outdoors is sprawling! We walked the acreage, visited the animals, fished, had a bonfire, & hung out on the well-equipped deck. Everyone agreed— we’d stay again!

This home was perfect for our extended family. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Multiple bedrooms and baths. Nice size kitchen with all the utensils you need. Large dining and family room. Large multi level deck with awesome views. Game room on the lower level. Kids really enjoyed the game room on the lower level. Owner and Joe were very responsive with any questions or concerns. Plenty of activities on site. Highly recommend!

Another fantastic family gathering at Brixen Ivy! 17 adults and 8 children, ranging in age from almost 1 to 84, spread between the main lodge and the Sunset Cottage, and everyone had a wonderful time and plenty of space to spread out in. A huge well-stocked kitchen as well as two additional smaller kitchens made it easy to keep everyone well-fed and keep everyone's favorite beverages chilled. We were enchanted by the amazing views from the giant wrap-around porch, and the kids had a blast visiting the goats, llamas, cows, turkeys and ducks and running around on the baseball field. Adults enjoyed having many walking trails to choose from, and we all loved the fire pit and the swim spa. Family gatherings at Brixen Ivy have become become a treasured tradition in our family.

We had a group of family and friends stay here from February 24 to 27 for our daughter's 30th birthday celebration! We couldn't have picked a better house or location. Everything was clean, plenty of comfortable beds and bathrooms. Three kitchens which we mostly just used the main floor kitchen. The kitchen has Everything you could possibly need. It snowed the night we arrived and Joe the ranch hand was at the house first thing in the morning plowing the driveway and making sure we had everything we needed. He was so friendly and helpful during our entire stay! We definitely will be back in the future!! The owners were great at communicating and making sure we were happy during our stay! Great place for a large group!

It was truly a memorable experience for our group of 22 adults. Plenty of room; gorgeous surrounding and views, and Joe (the admin for the property who lives next to the estate) was wonderful and very friendly. Joe took us out on UTV to see the ranch with all kinds of animals. It is an ideal place for large group who wants to be together, cook, have fun playing games and go out for long walks - That's what our group did. Thanks Mark for accommodating us. Only one negative feedback: There were lots of (ady??) bugs in almost all bedrooms and bathrooms. May be you need to get pest control service before renting it out to the guests. Overall, good experience.

The house itself is beautiful but Joe the ranch manager seals the deal! He is so friendly and helpful it really makes the stay enjoyable for all!

House was the perfect size for our annual Friendsgiving. The addition of the guest house allowed everyone to have their own private bedroom and bath. The extra kitchens made cooking for 20 people east and not stressed for oven space. Def a great place for large groups. The view of the valley was amazing. Def recommend for large groups! Thanks

My family with 7 couples, 3 singles and 2 little ones spent a week enjoying luxurious ranch life. The house is absolutely beautiful, there is everything you could possibly need. The views are incredible and the one thing I didn’t know we would be getting was an awesome night sky, no light pollution at all!!! We walked the ranch daily and really enjoyed all the animals ....cows, horses , goats, llamas, ducks, chicken, and a few cats. Miss Kitty will melt your heart as she sits patiently waiting outside the door, or sits in your lap as you enjoy the fire pit in the evening. Some of our group were impressed by the local golf courses, while others could have spent days touring and shopping in idyllic downtown Galena. Mark the owner was easy to get in contact with and ask questions of prior to our stay and Joe the ranch hand greeted us on arrival and was able to help with anything we needed. He even tried to put in a new refrigerator in the kitchen midweek, because the old one had a few problems..... but we had already filled with food and had learned to live with it. There were 2 other full size refrigerators!!! The only minor complaint would be that it’s time for high dusting ( please don’t look at my house😂) Thank you for allowing this property to be available for others to enjoy the area.

Our four children and their spouses and our 12 grandchildren spent the week together to celebrate our 50th anniversary. The house is so spacious and beautiful! We had plenty of room for everyone to sleep, make group meals and play games in the downstairs recreation room. We loved the animals on the property, the open area to fly kites, play ball, hike and explore. It was a wonderful time and great for family reunions! Definitely a place I would highly recommend!

We had a great time! It was a lovely property that was perfect for our needs: a relaxing weekend with a group friends who wanted to spend some time in Galena, some time tubing down a river, and doing lots of delicious cooking. The property manager Joe was super helpful and nice, and the place had everything we needed in terms of towels, linens, and plenty of dishes and pans. I did bring a fair amount of kitchen supplies, but that was because we made a lot of cakes and other fancy food! Other highlights are the baseball field, nearby Goat Yoga place, and the best thing: an incredibly friendly barn cat named Miss Kitty!
