Cute little condo with plenty of beds. I would have liked the listing to note that the owner's club was not walking distance. Plenty of amenities.

We loved our stay! My husband and I brought four older teens and one kid. They comfortably had the downstairs to themselves and enjoyed having that private space. The two outdoor patios were great - everyone had a place to escape to if they needed a break from the group. Views were beautiful. Amenities were perfect! Host communication was very fast. Parking was easy. Quick walk to the pool. Area was beautiful. Lots to do in and around Galena. Highly recommend and definitely had enough to do for a whole week.
Couple things to note: 1) NO swimming in Lake Galena. We couldn't find why, so we asked around. It's contaminated with run-off from area farms. Such a bummer because it's beautiful! It would be a great lake to boat and swim in. We didn't even use our paddleboards - just in case. 2) Bring bug spray! The gnats were horrendous (and they bite)
Overall, WONDERFUL week with the family (and a couple extra kids) and would absolutely do it again.
5.0
The property was beautiful, and the location was great. The resort where the condo is located is gorgeous! My only complaints would be that we send a message with a question before our stay and never heard back. Also a few more staples in the kitchen would have been nice. We cooked one evening and had to run to the General Store to purchase olive oil as there was not any oil or cooking spray in the kitchen.

Eight members of our family (five adults and three children) stayed for 3 days in Galena and had a very nice time from start to finish! We are so pleased that we selected this townhome in The Galena Territory. It was in a very nice location, in outstanding condition, and provided access to two beautiful pool facilities and an outstanding recreational center (The Owners Club). We would definitely enjoy staying at this home during our next visit to Galena!

Second time staying here and it was a wonderful experience again. Love the walking trail outside the condo that winds around the lake. Great location inside the Galena Territories that gives you access to indoor and outdoor swimming pools, game and exercise rooms,and so much more. Great communication from management. If you come in summer, take the ski lift on Chestnut Mountain for a great view of the Mississippi valley.

WE stayed with our son and Daughter in law along with their two boys. Great set up as there is a whole separate living space downstairs. The amenities were a plus. This is our second time staying here and most likely will stay again.

What a beautiful area around Galena. We spent three nights in this lovely condo with our daughter, her husband and three grandsons. They had the lower level all to themselves. Plenty of space and location. The boys enjoyed the walking trails. The condo provided everything we needed except soap for shower. It was very convenient to wedding venue nearby. Would love to return to the area during peak Fall foliage.

I was in Galena with my 3 sisters for sisters weekend. The condo was amazing and we spent most of our time on the screened in porch reminiscing about childhood and catching up on life. The bedrooms were huge and cozy. I think we will be back next year.

Absolutely wonderful! Top to bottom just lovely. Appointed perfectly. The screened in porch was a primary reason we selected this home and it was well used! The only thing id say is that both porches had not been cleaned on the floors. Lots of bugs, beer tops. Not a huge deal but thought youd like to know. The pool was a really nice amenity. Thank you!

Best part was having pool within walking distance. The general area has just about every thing you could want to do. We rented a boat and went horse back riding
Only problem we had was trying to keep the air conditioner regulated down stairs was always too cold

We had a relaxing stay at this lovely, well appointed condo. The views from the property are beautiful and the location is superb. We hiked along the lake to the lodge (also a short walk via paved roads) and the Owner's Club is just a short drive away. Inside, the home had everything we needed, was clean, and was very nicely updated. A big thank you to the owners and property managers for accommodating us and for excellent communication. This is one of our favorite properties in the Territory and we would not hesitate to stay again. One note is the third bedroom downstairs was too cold for our toddler to use (both overnight and for naps). There were plenty of extra blankets for adults, but should guests plan to use that space in the winter, we recommend packing warm pajamas.

Our group of four grandmas/college roomies, met here for three days. Reclining chairs and couches were especially comfortable, the view of the lake beautiful, the bedrooms good sized, the electric fireplace cozy, and the kitchen well stocked (even had good pots and pans). The living area is a little tight, but there's another TV with a futon downstairs. It was perfect for us, and we hope it'll be perfect for you.

The property is exactly as the listing says and more. We did not use any of the owner facilities like the pool or marina but did use the restaurant and general store. Property was conveniently located close to downtown, close to the wineries outside of town and very quiet. Plenty of trails to walk or hike and the Thunder Bay Falls were really flowing with the recent rainfall.

we had a gals weekend. 5 of us. this home couldn't have been laid out any better! very cozy, clean, updated and plenty of room and privacy for all! Rooms were just like what was pictured on site. very clean. Facing the lake was beautiful. Cocktailing in the screened-in balcony a big plus. Did a lot of walking around to see what's where. Just a short drive to Galena to spend the day was great. we're doing this again next year so we will be back! AAA+++

Two couples stayed in this great 3 bedroom condo. Amenities were great. Great towels and sheets. Beds super comfy. They had pretty much everything, paper towels, hand soap, Kleenex, toilet paper, pool towels, oil, spices. The only thing we needed was paper plates!! The screened in porch was great and roomy. We would stay again for sure.

This was our 2nd time renting this unit. Beautiful location and layout as usual however the unit needs a good cleaning. Leftover chips on the floor of the patio. Dirty paper plate and empty water bottle under the futon downstairs and some pretzels on the floor in the main living room. Not earth shattering but definitely raised an eyebrow as the first time we stayed the unit was immaculate. Everything else was as we remembered it.

My family and I have stayed in numerous VRBO rentals around the country and this condo ranks right up there among the very best. My wife and I are clean freaks, so the first thing we noticed was how clean it was. This alone helped us feel comfortable for our entire stay.
The Galena Territories provide breathtaking views in all direction and we took full advantage of the many walking paths through the woods, along the lake, and around the golf courses. All told, we logged over 24 miles of walking while there. The amenities were equally nice, and our family really enjoyed the Owner's Club and the private pool that was but a 1/4 mile walk from our condo.
It's a great place to stay and close enough for excursions to downtown Galena or Dubuque.
