My family of 7 adults and 4 kids loved our 4 day stay! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to have their own; big plus! The gaming device downstairs was a hit with the kiddos. Plenty of outdoor space around the house as well. The kids loved riding their scooters on the driveway. Nice quick drive to the owners club where we all enjoyed the pool and workout facility. Only downfall was the refrigerator space. Would have loved an additional one downstairs for overflow food and drinks.

Very clean and spacious. The house was perfect for our family giving us enough space to spread out and have some privacy while having great places to gather. Loved relaxing in the hot tub and by the fire pit…so many stars in the dark sky. We even saw a hot air balloon go by.

This house and property is great for a quiet, cozy place and adequate for 10. The location is excellent away from noise and crowds with a peaceful view of trees and birds singing. The fire pit with a good supply of wood provided a family setting to chat and relax. The hot tub was a welcome warm comfortable restful amenity. The game room was fun for all with a special video game console to play a number of choice games and a pool table. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms gave space and room to provide privacy and comfort for 10. The house is well maintained and had anything needed for kitchen and seating of 10. The screened porch was an excellent gathering place to chat and listen to songbirds in the morning. Highly recommended and this was our second year to stay here.

The house was perfect for our extended family of nine. Loved the hot tub and games downstairs as well as the Owner's Club. By the way, take along some beach towels because the Owner's Club doesn't provide them. Glad we did. Highly recommend the Mississippi River Museum in Dubuque. We took our grandkids there and they loved it. The Log Cabin was elegant. Chestnut Mountain restaurant had a view to die for. The kids loved the Alpine slide and Zip Line. The big kids used the golf courses nearby, but also went to neighboring town's golf course. Less pricey. I found the people at Owner's Club very friendly. We did water aerobics in early morning and enjoyed the quiet of the pool without so many people.

This place was absolutely gorgeous. Our house was perfect for our situation. Every bedroom had its own bathroom which was great for our group. Great location and view of the 16th hole of the south course. We loved the deck and hot tub and made use of the grill. The weather didn't allow us to use the fire pit in the back but definitely would have otherwise.

This property was perfect for our annual friends reunion. Close proximity to entrance of the territory made getting into Galena easy. The home was so clean and spacious, plenty of room for all of us to gather and visit. The beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was a nice bonus. Parking has always been an issue for us when renting but this location offered ample parking for all of our cars. We can’t wait to come back!

We had 9 active seniors 60 to 71 stay at the house for 5 days and we thought it was amazing! We enjoyed every bit of the property, as well as the Eagle Ridge Resort Marina (Pontoon Boat and Pickle Ball) and Pickle Ball courts at the Resort Lodge The beds were comfy (although the master mattress was showing signs of denting) Plenty of dishes, cookware and silverware...dishwasher was great! Plenty of hot water for showers and baths. Drove into Galena a number of times and the drive was only about 15 minutes. Each day we walked a mile around Longwood Drive and there were trails all around. We loved how private the house was within the neighborhood...and the stars at night were magnificent!

Great house, lots of room for all! We did do a couple meals there. For a house holding so many guests I wish there were larger pots and pans. It was annoying to cook for so many with what was there. That is my only complaint. Otherwise was very clean and again loved all the room! I would definitely stay again.

The house worked great for our family. Loved the outdoor space with the hot tub, fire pit, deck and large lawn for playing games. We took advantage of the outdoor pool at the owner’s club, which was perfect for a hot weekend with the kids. Overall great location for our family.

Loved the big yard and the extended driveway. It gave the Grandkids plenty of room to play without us having to worry about anything. Rooms were nice and spacious as well. We enjoyed our stay and recommend it.
8.0 / 10.0
The layout was perfect for 3 families with 4 children ages 2-6. There was enough seating for the 10 of us on the deck. The children enjoyed the pool and big yard. S'mores was a hit with the firewood that was supplied. There was plenty of parking for our 3 vehicles.
The exterior was in the stage of remodeling and the outside landscape needed some TLC, but this was no hinderance to the children playing outside. Also, be aware that there is an extra cleaning fee if you stay 5 nights or longer.
Overall, the house worked great for us.

Family retreat of 10 with enough bathroom space and bedrooms for all, the hot tub was great. 5 kids loved pool table and arcade games and adults too. The house was inviting, clean, spacious with glass windows and even skylight in bathrooms. We all loved the fire pit and plentiful wood pile to roast s’mores. The second story screened porch was a nature lovers dream to sit and listen to all the wonderful songbirds. Living space was very adequate and allowed room for various needs and activities. Beds were quality mattresses and bedding for sleeping. Linda, Galena homes manager was immediately available to answer any problems. She provided a new 4 digit code to enter house upon our arrival. The code that was previously given was incorrect. She answered questions we had that took care of any minor concerns. Only thing lacking was matches or a lighter to start a fire plus paper or kindling wood which we were able to get ourselves at a local store and sticks from woods behind house. No problems or complaints overall and we all would come back here again

The property was perfect for our large group. It’s in a great location too. It’s convenient to go into town and feels like you have lots of privacy at the house. There are golf courses everywhere and we took advantage of going to the owner’s club and swimming, playing basketball, and using the fitness center. Everyone had their own bathroom and there are places to eat on the deck and inside. The hot tub was also an appreciated perk. Overall, it was a great experience.

The home was beautiful and had so much space for our family of 11! The open floor plan kitchen/ living room was great for making meals together! The yard was large enough for us to play cornhole and set up badmitten. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool table, arcade game, fires and playing game sun the screened in!! Not to mention the pools, and game room at the owners club!!

We had 8 adults and 3 children ages 2,5, & 7. There was plenty of space for all to gather and to separate when desired. There is a lot of out door space for running around and we didn't need to be concerned about disturbing neighbors. The exterior needed some care, but it looked like they were starting on that project. The whole family had fun at the Owner's club swimming pool.

The house was large enough to adequately accommodate our family of 10. We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor spaces, along with the hot tub and fire pit. Our family also enjoyed the Owner's Club, using the fitness center, basketball courts and the pool. Although the kitchen space was a little small (counter space) to manage all the food for meals and snacks, we made it work. Basement bedrooms were cold with the AC running, so we turned it off and used extra blankets, as the weather was so lovely daytime and cooled off at night.

This property was perfect for 12 ladies celebrating my daughter’s bachelorette weekend. Plenty of beds and bathrooms! We cooked a large meal for one night and the kitchen was more than equipped to cook and serve a formal dinner. The weather was less than ideal, so we were unable to use the fire pit and hot tub,, but will definitely be back. It was a great experience, from reservation to check-out. It was awesome!

This home worked ok for our annual skiing trip since we had five couples and five bedrooms with separated bathrooms. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the home and the amount of linens/towels provided. Mattresses and pillows were of good quality. Except downstairs Queen size Serta sofa sleeper which mattress was terribly misshapen and couldn't be used. House has very spacious bedrooms, however the main living room doesn't have enough space for the larger group congregation (only 6 people can fit freely on 2 couches). Fireplace worked nicely. Kitchen had lots of cooking utensils, however it lacked some important dishes (had only only 7 coffee mugs and 10 forks which weren't sufficient for the 12 of us). Dining room included only 9 chairs. There was some wear and tear evident in some places, especially the dining room area. . Hot tub was clean, however it wasn't properly filled up prior to our arrival-water lever was way below jets and water was spraying all over us. There was no connecting water hose to fill up the tub.

We had such a great time this last weekend! I treated my kids for an adults only weekend. The property was so spacious and had everything right there. We were snowed in for the weekend, so that only added to the ambiance! We had the fireplace going much of the time and played games much of the weekend. The hot tub was especially a hit!!
