Dressed for the Holidays!

Our home will be decorated for the holidays from mid November through early January! This home is nestled in a small community and backs up to dense forest, beyond which is Lake Galena (viewable after the trees shed their fall luster)! Enjoy listening to the birds as you sip your morning coffee on one of the two decks, or screened in porch. Enjoy a glass of wine around the gas firepit as you unwind from a day of adventuring or shopping in downtown Galena. This home features three levels, each of which has a full bath and bedroom. The main level offers the great room that flows into the dining and kitchen areas; screen porch, and large deck. The lower level offers a pool table, additional TV with bar type seating, and deck. The upper level offers an additional loft area. The home’s layout is perfect for both gatherings and a personal oasis.

Owners Club amenities include indoor & outdoor pools, tennis and pickle ball courts, game room, & fitness center. Boat rentals available on beautiful Lake Galena!

9 Pinehurst was an exceptional home, so well thought out. Three levels so each couple had their own private space were perfect with the kitchen, dining and family area where everyone could gather. The home was very clean, tastefully decorated and so well furnished with home away from home supplies and necessities. The setting is peaceful and serene. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect Getaway

Our stay at this property in Galena Territory was so very nice. The townhouse was clean & spacious & pretty. The club amenities allowed many extra activities if we wanted them and all of easy access. Though hot and humid, the screened-in porch worked well early a.m. and in the evening. The available games kept my granddaughter busy for hours! All adults felt relaxed and “away from it all”. Thank you!

Excellence abound

We couldn’t have been more pleased with the conditions of the home in which we stayed. We felt at home immediately as the pictures provided very accurately portrayed the dwelling. We were able to use much of the associated Eagle Ridge resort amenities including tennis, pickleball, swimming and sauna. The surrounding area is simply gorgeous with amazing vistas and a short, easy drive into Galena. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in the area.

Great Stay

We loved our week in Galena and the house was exactly as described. There were 6 of us (three generations) in the house and with the 3 bedrooms it was perfect. The owners were very responsive to our texts and communication! I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to rent a house in Galena.

Weekend Getaway

We stayed in this property a few days after the New Year holiday for a getaway. The house is very clean, very cute and well equipped. There is was adequate space for 6 adults and the pool table was an added bonus for our group. Quick drive into Galena and there was lots to do. For sure should stay here again!

Perfect Getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming house. The layout was perfect for our needs and the home is so inviting. Everyone enjoyed having their own bedroom and bathroom on different levels. Great location - secluded and quiet yet close to downtown Galena. We enjoyed feeding and watching the birds from the porch and deck. Great communication with Lorebeth. Would definitely stay here again!
