We came to Galena Territory for a family reunion. This property and owner were highly rated and did not disappoint. The house is clean and nicely decorated. The owner was kind enough to call to make certain we were alright when we were late to arrive. Truly gracious! Thank you for the opportunity!

We enjoyed our stay very much. A little issue with the housekeeping when we arrived but it was quickly fixed. I did appreciate the follow up call from owner next morning. Amenities were fun being so close to club house, swimming pool and marina. Close to downtown Galena yet secluded.

We spent 4 nights here with our 20-something young adult children. First time to Galena for us. We enjoyed it. The weather was unpredictable but the shopping and restaurants in Galena proper were worth it.

Awesome home in The Territories! The amenities were great, especially since the weather wasn’t on our side for the majority of our stay. We got to utilize the indoor pool on a stormy day. Communication was great and many memories made! Thank you for sharing your property with us. 🙂

Centrally located to access everything in the area. Kitchen well-stocked. Outdoor spaces make this house a gem! Wild turkeys greeted us in the yard each morning. Stonedrift spa at the resort was booked for the weekend but Galena Day Spa was able to accommodate our group of 5 at the last minute. George recommended good restaurants in town as well.

Our family of five adults and three young children had a wonderful stay at George's property. We especially enjoyed the outdoor spaces--the screened in porch, the roomy deck, and the fire pit with chairs on the level back yard. We spent a lot of time at the Owners' Club pool, which is only a minutes away drive from the property. One suggestion--it would be nice to have a lock on the Jack-and-Jill bathroom on the main level, making it easier to know when the bathroom is being used. Thank you for a great stay, and for being so responsive with questions and booking.

I hosted a girl's weekend for my aunt's 70th birthday at George's property. This was the perfect spot and in a great location. Close to Galena Cellars Vineyard and the downtown area, but also secluded enough to feel like you're truly away for the weekend if that's what you're looking for. We had a great time and the house met all of our needs. The deck and screened in outdoor room were perfect for summer nights. Thank you George and family!

Cozy Cottage

Property was nice esp for our last min booking. Info prior to check in did state they had removed many blankets, etc for Cov19 cleaning processes and I failed to see that/plan before we arrived, so bring extra blankets if you enjoy being comfy. We had 4-5 in of snow and by early the next morning driveway to cleared out and sidewalk/stairs were shoveled which was a really nice unexpected bonus. We had 4 kids w us and they enjoyed games in the loft.

Great Birthday Weekend!

We had a fantastic long weekend at Georges property! Thanks to his recommendation, we spent a beautiful afternoon at Galena Cellars Vineyard listening to live music and doing a wine tasting. We also did some hiking, shopping, but mostly just relaxed and enjoyed our time together. Easy to get anywhere in the Territory, to antique stores and downtown Galena. Thanks, George!

What a great place to stay. We loved cooking in that kitchen. It was better to play games out in the screened room than at the dining table. The light was better. Thanks for sharing your home.

Beautiful home!

Beautiful home in a picturesque country setting. Beautiful rolling hills and a 4 minute ride to the eagle ridge resort. The house was super clean and so comfortable for myself, my husband and another couple. We'd definitely love to visit again! Just be careful if you come in at night. The roads are winding and no lights on the road but once you see it in the daylight the views are beautiful!

Labor Day Weekend Getaway

Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The property is on a large lot in a quiet community secluded enough to where you can sit on the huge deck, enjoy a fire in the pit or sit enjoy a smaller lower level patio without seeing neighbors. The dining area seats 8 comfortably which we used to play games. Every space such as the dining room, kitchen counter, screened in porch, deck had plenty of room for 8 adults at least so plenty of room for the 5 of us to spread out. It is about 15 minutes from downtown. We loved the amenities like the pool. Golf courses galore! Super comfortable beds. Really all we brought was our food, and a few staples. Instructions and communication with owner was very detailed and complete. We highly recommend and would return!

Homey feel, very well stocked rental

Homey feel, very well stocked rental

The Powell House set-up was great for us! Very clean place! I can tell there's a lot of pride in ownership. My 7-year-old loved all the toys and puzzles. I LOVED that all towels and bedding were pristine white!! We do have a few recommendations to offer--mostly continuation in the upgrading that I can tell you've already done. None of these things ruined our trip, by any stretch! Just simply good for thought: ***Consider replacing the 2 chairs in the home (1 in living room, 1 in loft). They looked too well used. **Consider new sheets for queen beds--they all have pilling from use and repeated washes--which can be uncomfortable when trying to relax each night. **Consider putting a blind on the basement door window. We would have played more pool in the evening if it that window was covered. **The carpet on the main level is unraveling by the dining room, and as I walked through the main level barefoot, there were areas where I could feel something sharp... when I stopped to look and see what it was, I couldnt find anything in the carpet, but had a red dimple in my foot... seemed to happen mostly around the edges (like where the carpet transitions to tile by the kitchen and bathroom). Assuming it was the ridge of a staple or something... but I dont want it to get worse and cut someone. **(Purely cosmetic suggestion:) the kitchen counter tops need to be replaced. It would give the whole area a face lift! On another note, I apologize for leaving the cold stuff in the fridge. We forgot to grab it! Thank you for providing a nice place to stay! We would stay again!

Wonderful Family Stay

Wonderful Family Stay

We came to Galena for a wedding and had a great stay at the Powell House. Screened in porch is lovely, back deck is spacious with a large table where we hosted dinner one evening. Grandma & Grandpa came to watch our two year old - all had such a fun time. Very close to Owners Club with pool and amenities.

Galena vacation 2021

We spent a week in the „Powell House“ in the Galena Territory. We were very comfortable. The house had everything we needed for our family of four. We loved spending time on the beautiful deck and in the screened porch when it rained. The kids had lots of fun playing pool downstairs. Beds were comfortable, shower upstairs in the bathroom is a little small. We took advantage of the pool located at the Owner’s Club, which was very fun. We also rented a pontoon boat on Lake Galena, which is part of the Territory. Note, that this is not a Sports Lake and boats only have 10 HP. We took the boat out to fish and enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate and it rained a lot during our stay and got very cool. But all in all we had a good time and would rent the Powell House again.

Lovely property: perfect for our weekend

Lovely property: perfect for our weekend

This was a great property and perfect for 2 families, each with two teenagers. The outdoor patio and screen porch allowed ample space for everyone to visit, play games and relax. The kitchen was equipped for all our needs, which included cooking most of our meals. The property is clean enough, however, we found ourselves wiping down spaces that are not used often, such as screen porch furniture, and kitchen ware. Overall, we were very happy and would stay again!
