Family Thanksgiving
We made special family memories in this beautiful home in a wonderful setting. We arrived in the evening and was greeted with lights on and a surprise of a Christmas tree all lit up and one of the fire place mantles decorated and lit up. We enjoyed rushing around picking out our bedrooms, unpacking and sitting around talking. The pool table and hot tub was a great hit with the grandchildren, and the firepit with the adults. We had smores and talks and wine and just a very special time. The house is beautiful and plenty of room for everyone. The bedding is luxurious as were the towels. We had Thanksgiving around the table where all 11 of us could sit. That was one of the reasons I chose this house. During the day we walked down and enjoyed looking at the outstanding horse facilities near by. We also enjoyed the resorts indoor pool and basketball court and cocktails at the resorts lounge. The host was very nice and accommodating and went out of his way to make sure we were happy. Hopefully we can make a repeat visit!

Gorgeous property, gorgeous views.... We didn't have enough time to use the amenities with the property and HOA, but we loved the multiple king size beds and plenty of bathrooms for NINE women! We were a little bummed that we couldn't get the fireplaces working, but the hot tub was amazing after long hours of nearby shopping!

Wonderful Getaway
The location is beautiful and the floor plan was perfect for our group. It allowed us to spread out and not have the noise of one activity impact others. The hot tub is a great size and the view was beautiful, yet we still had privacy from the surrounding homes. The house is well supplied. It was lovely to have it decorated for the holidays. The bedding is a nice quality and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was easy to work in. The only suggestions we would make is to add a couple of paring knives and a roll of foil. Thank you for a wonderfu getaway!

Appreciated 5 Bedrooms & 5 Bathrooms
Very nice! We enjoyed our stay very much. Chose this home for its 5 bedrooms (each with TV) and 5 bathrooms - plenty of towels and an excellent laundry room. We really appreciated the lovely country view from the main living area and the large deck which both have big tables to seat a large group. Sorry we didn't get around to using the nice firepit area or the pool table. Having a large fridge both downstairs and up was another plus. Recommend only for groups that can handle stairs and suggest you study the odd light switch placement before dark.

Great place
Pros: Very comfortable and clean. We liked that we all had a king bed. Hot tub and fire pit were awesome additions. Kitchen actually had basic dry goods (cooking oil, some spices, etc) Too many rentals (this site or the other rental website that Vrbo won’t let me name here) don't have anything and I always seem to forget oil spray for morning eggs. Only small Con About 17 minutes from Galena. Not a huge deal, just FYI. Very little to no cell reception in Galena or at property. Again, not their fault. Just FYI.

Spacious quiet getaway
Had a wonderful time at this spacious and charming house with two extended families (8 adults and 4 kids). Loved having attached bathrooms for most bedrooms. Plenty of common space on the deck, family rooms and by the fire pit on the patio for socializing (kids enjoyed the s’mores). Beautiful views of the rolling countryside. Well-stocked kitchen has everything you would need for cooking or baking. The location is about 20 mins drive to shopping and Galena downtown which is a must visit. Owner was very helpful and responsive to our questions. There are indeed many stairs but the 70-80 year old seniors in our family did not mind too much.

Family vacation in Galena
No negatives to this property for us. It has tons of space for a large family to be together and alone. Plenty of everything you need in the kitchen. Lots of towels and pillows. All furniture was comfortable. Tv's everywhere. Outdoor space was great-2 decks, a great firepit and a hot tub. The toddlers loved the grassy area-it was hilly but that was part of the fun! Lots of parking-we had 5 cars and no shuffling. The owner's club is fantastic and we all enjoyed just driving around the area looking at the homes. The owners were responsive to communication and immediately resolved the one small issue we had. Check in and out were easy. I had read on another review, there are lots of steps at the home, and it is true. It was doable for everyone in our group though.

Rarely will you find a house that has a bathroom for every bedroom. This house was perfect for our Marine parent's getaway. The fire pit sits in the front of the home, overlooking the beautiful Galena Territories. The house is very large and accommodated our group nicely. The kids had room to spread out, adults had privacy. The communal places were perfect. Lots of seating area inside and out. Hot tub & pool table, were a nice touch. Short drive to the owner's clubhouse, with even more beautiful amenities. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable beds in every room.

The house has a beautiful view and comfortable rooms. It was nice to have the two rooms and a pull-out sofa sleeper in the basement so the kids could have an area for themselves while the adults were upstairs. Owners answered questions promptly. There are a lot of stairs to get to the main level which wasn't an issue for us but it would be for anyone that has trouble with stairs. Overall, we really enjoyed our time there.

Beautiful but won’t be back
We have been coming to Galena and renting homes in the Territory several times per year for the last 28 years. This home is gorgeous however, check-in wasn’t until 4pm (we have never had a check-in later than 2p-3p) so your first day renting is all but over by the time you unpack when you have young kids. Check-out was 10am (we have never had a check-out before 11 or noon) and the homeowner came and parked at the bottom of the driveway at 9:35am which was not only bizarre, it was incredibly awkward. There were also odd signs all over the home with “ground rules” including which towels to use or not use. The hot tub cover was broken, the fridge smelled awful. We also had to replace several bathroom lightbulbs throughout the house and when you’re paying that much to stay it seems odd to have to replace lightbulbs. The entire experience was off-putting and we won’t be staying there again which is a shame because the home is absolutely gorgeous and in a gorgeous area.

Amazing location, nice house but needs some work
The house is in a great location, situated high up with amazing views of the valley and the sky for star watching. Very nice! The home has been updated and is tastefully decorated but is in need of many minor fixes, so many of which that it really impacted our stay and made it quite frustrating. Immediately upon arrival we washed our hands and the sink was clogged and wouldn't drain. It drained slowly but by the end of the day it wouldn't drain at all. The homeowner was helpful and offered to have a plumber come out but we felt uncomfortable dealing with that on our vacation and as a small group just used other sinks. When taking showers that night we had a shower which didn't want to drain either. The steam shower downstairs doesn't work, blinds on the main level won't close, remotes for fans didn't work, one sliding door doesn't properly lock and pops open after pulling on it, hot tub cover is hanging on by a thread, fireplace in basement works sporadically, etc. A few things to keep in mind are all the stairs- a flight to get up to the main level, another to get up to the master which has no carpeting and are pretty slippery. We have no issues with stairs but had a couple minor slips on the wood stairs- seems like a pretty big risk to keep them bare. Lastly, I really wish they'd put liquid hand soap dispensers at each sink. The bar soaps make you feel like you're at a cheap hotel and if you have a big group, I'm guessing not everyone wants to share bar soaps. Especially in the kitchen and other common areas. Overall, it's a decent place in a great area, it just needs quite a few minor fixes- otherwise prepare for some frustrations.
