I booked a getaway for a few friends and I to get break from the city. The place was super cute. Easy to get in. Fully stocked kitchen and very clean. Had a beautiful view of the hills.
The hot tub was nice to sit in and see star gaze. The fire pit took a little bit to get going but was nice at night to keep the bugs away.
About 20 minutes from down town Galena, which was perfect.
The place was great. If we decide to do a trip again. I would definitely see if this place is available again.

Wonderful, quiet, clean and well appointed property. Home has everything you need for a couple or plenty of space for a family. We had a great time enjoying the hot tub and the fire pit. Everywhere you go in Galena, is at least a 20 mi the drive, so be prepared. Also have to bring your garage to the dump before you leave. All worth it for us and the peace and quiet. Be sure to go to Chestnut Mounrain for lunch and the Beautiful view.

We stayed here for a girls trip and it was the perfect, relaxing retreat! We loved to hot tub at the end of our day, and spent some much needed time at the spa which is just 5 minutes away! Rental was equipped with everything we needed.

We love galena and have driven buy this house so many times. So happy we had a chance to stay here. Fantastic property, great location. Loved walking the trails and sitting on the deck enjoying the piece and quiet and all of the stars. Look forward to coming back next year for the annual pilgrimage to the best Halloween parade ….

Our booking never went through on the calendar so when we arrived there were already people staying there. We booked months in advance and it was just a huge disappointment that it didnt go through the system properly.

We had a wonderful time here. The area is stunning and there is lots to do. The food at the restaurants nearby was delicious. The views at the house were breathtaking and communication with the owner was seamless. You can see and hear the horses grazing in the pastures . It’s extremely peaceful and serene here. We definitely would come back again!

We had an amazing stay. The home was decorated so cute, it was clean and very well maintained. There was nothing we had to buy other than our own groceries. The view was amazing and proximity to Galena was only 10 min. You will not be disappointed. As a side note, the coffee maker is also a Keurig so if you want to bring your k-cups, they will work.
Cons: Ice maker was not working properly so we only got about 4 ice cubes per day. The upstairs shower could use some grab bars for any elderly folks staying there. My parents, who were in their late 80's, had a little bit of trouble. There were a lot of wasps on the deck. (Tis the season) They seem to have built nests underneath the upper deck railing. It made it a little difficult to sit on the deck. But overall, it was a great house. Cheers!

Suggestions
Pls have someone come spray for hornets. They gather all along the back deck railing (perhaps there are nests there)? Not a complaint / just letting you know that there are a LOT of them. Also, having champagne glasses on hand would be v. nice for guests - but we certainly managed w/out them. Our stay was fabulous. Thx!

Amazing Couples Getaway
Our first ever “couples getaway” to Galena, IL - 3 couples ages 47-55! What an AWESOME couple of days with soooo much laughter! So grateful!
This house couldn’t have been better, as was the weather, despite driving in a storm on the way there!
We arrived Fri, had lunch, walked Main Street and did a quick check-in at the house! 3 bedrooms/3.5 bath, hot tub, fire pit, large deck overlooking the valley was PERFECTION and as themes go, the horse ranch did NOT disappoint!
A pontoon boat ride with the history of the Missippi River and Galena with a choice to either ride the toboggan or the chairlift down to load the boat at Chestnut Mountain Resort.
We finished the evening with returning to Main Street to visit Miss Kitty’s outdoor patio with live acoustic music and then back to the house for a late night of gaming!
Saturday morning began with a homemade breakfast followed by a 10:30 tee time/9 holes of golf at Eagle Ridge East!
The afternoon was spent walking downtown Main Street, with an amazing dinner at Fried Green Tomatoes! One more stop at Miss Kitty’s Grape Escape with more live music on the patio and an early night relaxing by the fire!
Thank you, Galena! We had a blast and we WILL be back!

Wonderful themed “Ranch” house located near the stables.
Wonderfully decorated, very clean including hot tub, beautiful scenery overlooking the valley from the large deck,
Comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen….
(The refrigerator ice machine did not work but there was a bag of ice in the freezer, also would like stove instructions in the manual for the timers and the coffee pot needs a thorough cleaning- had an aftertaste)
We hope to return to “The Ranch” very soon. It’s obvious the owners love this house.
Thank you
