A Great Weekend Getaway
My husband, my 87 year old mom and I traveled to Galena for a long weekend. We live in Chicago so it's a quick place to go. This house is one of the nicest homes we have stayed in. While we did not cook, there was EVERYTHING in this house you would need, including spices. The spice rack had more spices than mine does at home. My mom is 87 and has some mobility issues so having a bedroom/bathroom on the main floor is key. The bedrooms were spacious, great water pressure in the shower and the seating area in the great room was awesome. The screened in porch was also nice. It was a warm weekend so we enjoyed sitting out there in the evening. Amenity passes were also available for use of the pool; however, we did not use them. Would be great to stay longer and be able to use some of those amenities. This home would be a great spot for several couples, younger or older couples and couples with children. All kind of games were available. We loved this home and will be back.

A little slice of heaven
We visited for my daughter's 16th birthday. The house was everything we hoped for! It's amazing how all your stress just melts away when you arrive. Truthfully though, I really have to give a shout-out to the property managers, they were such a pleasure to deal with and always very responsive. Thank you!!!

Beds were a Disappointment.
My friends stayed 3 nights and I could not go because I injured a knee the night before I was to leave. They said the beds were “terrible”. Some lights weren’t working and the instructions to use the hot tub could have been explained better. They also said the place was somewhat run down .

Perfect Spot for Girls’ Weekend
This house was the perfect size for the four of us! We loved the screened in porch, so much time spent out there chatting, listening to nature sounds, and sipping coffee. The location was excellent; it was private but everywhere we wanted to go was within a great distance. The house had everything we needed! Thank you for a great trip!

What a great house! It's larger than the pictures make it look. The game room was incredible for all ages. The firepit is wonderful and all three rooms and their bathrooms were very well appointed, as was the kitchen. Kristin called us ahead of time and gave us all of the information we needed and went above and beyond to make sure we could find the property when we arrived late at night. Great stay all around, and now we are ready to visit this same house in the winter!

We are a "game" family so this location did not disappoint. Loved all the board games, shuffleboard and video games. Clean and very short drive to owners club. Also made use of the hot tub. Rain kept us from the fire pit but it was inviting.

Nice place to unwind
Amenities were great. The three season porch was great to avoid bugs but get fresh air. Lights in the hot tub were not working but the porch light provided enough light at night. All the amenities of home to cook a good meal!

This VRBO was exactly as listed. Extremely clean house in the Galena Territory. We didn’t get to take advantage of all this property had to offer because of our short stay but it has so much. We highly recommend this house.

Perfect Getaway
Before our trip, our hosts reached out to me by phone to let me know what amenities were available at the property as well as provided information for activities to do in and around Galena. They were super responsive which really set the tone for our stay. The house has a great layout, very clean, well updated and had lots of games to play. Highly recommend this property.

Ideal VRBO!
This VRBO exceeded our expectations, the location and setting in the woods was amazing, there was lots of space and all the beds were comfortable, we will be staying at this location again! There were plenty of games in the basement for the kids. This was our first visit to the "territory" and it was excellent, so thank you for offering this VRBO.

We are a group of friends that have known each other for over 40 years. We try to get together at least once per year. This was the perfect location. The house was well kept and everything we needed was included. We loved all the space, especially the screen porch. We wish our stay could have been longer to enjoy the more of the house and the club pool.
