Forty was fun

We stayed with 4 adult couples for my wife’s 40th birthday. We had an awesome time and the house was perfect for our low key getaway. We loved the real wood fireplace, beautiful hot tub and well equipped house. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect for our family

This is the second time we have stayed in this home. It is the perfect size for our family and we love that every bedroom has its own bathroom. The owners club is a big perk and we enjoy the Galena downtown as well. It’s a great home away from home!

Great place for family gathering

We stayed here for a family gathering and it was a wonderful vacation. We had plenty of bedrooms and the main level dining room, living room, porch combo were wonderful for hanging out as a family at times while also having different activities going on in smaller groups. Host was quick to respond to questions along the way.

Golf weekend with the guys

Location and house perfect for our group of ten golfers for a weekend...we have stayed at Eagle Ridge Resort near Galena annually for many years and this property was one of the best! Usually we have used the resort golf package but selection was minimal and actually, cheaper to do a VRBO and use their special golf rate rather than the package. Brian was a great host and very helpful!

Great family weekend getaway

We recently stayed here with a large family, and it was the perfect place for a group getaway! The house was incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room for everyone to spread out while still having cozy common areas where we could gather. The bedrooms were comfortable, and we appreciated that many had en-suite bathrooms, which made mornings much more relaxed for our group. The kitchen was well-equipped and large enough for us to cook meals together, and the dining area easily accommodated our family for shared meals. The location was ideal for us, too – peaceful and scenic, yet close enough to stores and attractions so we never felt isolated. The owners were responsive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend this house for families or groups looking for a comfortable, well-maintained home with plenty of space and all the amenities you could need for a relaxing stay!

Family weekend getaway

This property was a great size for our group of 7 adults and 2 teens. The house was well stocked with paper products such as paper towel and toilet paper. Shampoo, body wash and conditioner was an unexpected but appreciated surprise. It was great to have a gas grill and there was even an extra tank ready to go if we needed it. The house is definitely a well used rental but the beds were comfortable and the space was great for our group! Brian was easy to communicate with and was helpful with getting golf passes to our rental before we arrived.

wonderful family get away

Beautiful 5 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom home on a cul-de-sac. We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 night stay playing games around the big kitchen table, we snuggled up to watch movies on the comfy couches by a roaring fire, took long walks with the dogs, and just had a great time hanging with our family. We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen which had pretty much everything one would need to prepare nice meals. We'd definitely consider coming back during the summer where we could enjoy the outdoors more, the porch, and the beauty that summertime has to offer. I will add that Brian was very communicative and accommodating! This is the second time we booked with him and we'd def book with him again!

Annual trip

The house was as pictured- very nice to accommodate 5 couples for the weekend. Host quickly responded to couple of issues, however one could not be fixed over the weekend but I’m sure it will be resolved for the next group. Pretty clean for the most part except Light fixtures in a couple of the bathrooms could use a cleaning- dead bugs inside glass cover and some mold in the tracks of the shower doors. This house was well stocked with paper towels, tissues and toilet paper and hand soaps — a lot of rental homes have not provided these little essentials - so we were happy with that. Would stay here again. Thank you!
