We had a wonderful time at Galena Getaway! There were 10 of us, and it was such a bonus that each couple had their own room and private bathroomâso much space and comfort. The grounds and views were absolutely beautiful, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook, bake, or grill.The town of Galena was just a short 15â20 minute drive away, and when the summer heat kicked in, we loved being able to head just 4 minutes up the road to the included pool, game room, and fitness center. Thereâs so much to see in the area, and we truly hope to be backâweâd definitely love to stay here again!
My wife and I, our four kids and four grandkids did a ski weekend and stayed in the Galena Territories. This house was the best! Having a bathroom in each bedroom was a very nice convenience. Everyone enjoyed sitting in the spa outside with snow on the ground.The owners were friendly, easy to connect with and were are super responsive when needed! Already planning an adult golf weekend and will be back in this house if it's available!
We had a wonderful stay at this home. Such a nice bonus that it was decorated for Christmas and we felt so at home with all the attention to detail. We loved the opportunity for some to be playing games downstairs while others played games upstairs. All the bathrooms made it feel like we all had our own space. We will be back.
House was beautiful spacious and perfect for a group of high school friends to hang for the weekend. We had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.
This house was spacious and tastefully decorated. We especially loved the decorated Christmas tree and holiday decor throughout! We had a slight plumbing problem on Thanksgiving, and Pete promptly had a plumber out in less than an hour! From reservations to check in to check out, the process was flawless. We all enjoyed our stay.
This is a wonderful house. Itâs spacious yet feels cozy. Plenty of room for everyone to gather on the comfy couch while enjoying the fireplace or watching a movie. The extra large dining table works great for shared meals. The kitchen is functional and well equipped. Bedrooms all have en suite baths which is a bonus. ( comfy beds too). Huge outdoor space circles around a fire pit. Hot tub is a fabulous amenity.
My siblings and I had a wonderful stay in Galena. The house had plenty of room for the 8 of us. We enjoyed the screened in porch and the fire pit. It was only minutes away from Galena. For a larger group like ours we found it very nice to have larger beds and numerous bathrooms. Pete was very responsive to our inquiries as well.
Our family had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The house was perfect for our weekend, and we can't wait to return! The owners were very responsive and welcoming, with beautiful home touches, like fall decorations. Thank you for a great weekend!
We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house for our Mother & Daughter weekend getaway. The house was spacious, comfortable and very well equipped with all the amenities you need.
Great location, scenic views and not far from downtown Galena.
Big thanks to the hosts!
We were in town to celebrate a family engagement and this house accommodated us beautifully with all en-suite bedrooms. We werenât there much but were able to sit on the screened porch a few times and really enjoyed that.
This is the 2nd year we stayed here for family vacation. We had 3 generations of ages and it worked well for all of us. Spacious rooms, well stocked kitchen, great fire pit area, comfortable screened in porch, and close to the amenities of the Galena Territory.
Having bathrooms for all bedrooms was so helpful. The fire pit was enjoyed by all. We were amazed & happy to see so many stars in the skyâŠitâs peaceful there & you feel like youâre a million miles away. The two upper decks are great for watching our guests using the large yard & fire pit area. Everythjng you need is there. So restful. Plenty to do or relaxing to do nothing.
This house is spacious inside and out. The floor plan makes it easy for people to comfortably enjoy their stay whether together with family and friends, or away from the group. The property is expansive and in a great location. The owners are responsive/invested in making sure their guests meet or exceed their expectations. We found this to be our experience!theitwonderfully en
We rented this house as a group of 5 girls with their kids ages 7-11. We loved everything about it. It was so close to the pool and basketball hoops. The house was clean and had enough space for our whole group (11people). The hot tub was clean and the we loved the big fire pit. The hosts were very quick to answer any questions and very helpful. We didnât know Galena had so many flies and gnats, so next time weâll bring some things to keep the bugs away. We will definitely rent this house again!
After years of staying at the same house in The Territory, our family simply outgrew our accommodations. Searching VRBO we found a house that looked like it fit our needs, and we were correct!
Pete and Laura are wonderful hosts and good communicators, the house exceeded our expectations-it was very clean, had things like plenty of pots, pans, silverware, etc and especially sharp knives (and a knife sharpener!) and the fire pit was wonderful (fire pits are one of our requirements.)
Our entire family voted to return to the Getaway next year!!
Our group of 7 had plenty of room in the house and appreciated that each bedroom had an en suite bath. We enjoyed the many games, pool table, and foosball in the house and were able to comfortably sit at the table ( with dining chairs for up to 10). We didn't use the hot tub because it was uncovered outside and the weather did not cooperate! The location is beautiful and a local taxi service was able to pick us up from the house. My only small complaint was the lack of cooking oil in the kitchen, which I would consider a basic necessity of a kitchen in a rental house.
Layout of home was great!! Loved each bathroom per bedroom. The huge table was a plus for eating and games. Weâve been getting together with this group for 25 years, first time in 22 years without kids. Probably one of our favorite homes weâve stayed at.
The house is big and roomy for a large group. We had 11 people staying, ages 12 - 75 and everyone had room to spread out. It is nice that there are so many bedrooms with attached bathrooms for privacy. We especially enjoyed the living room with adjoining dining room so that we all could be in the same room even when doing separate things.
The house is in the Galena Territory which has a nice club house offering basketball, swimming and a game room. There are 6 passes available to visitors.
This was our second stay at this property. Unfortunately, many of the repairs needed that we noticed last year were still present this year. There are unpainted repair patches on the walls in various rooms, the fireplace cover was off, several light bulbs out, broken shelves in the fridge, both keurig machines didn't work, spots on the carpet and the whole place could use a paint job. We couldn't find a shovel when it snowed and had to improvise with dust pans to clear the walkway. It took over 36 hours for the complex to plow. The checkout list of things to do is reasonable however having to take the garbage to the dump is kind of a pain especially at this nightly rate.
Overall this home works well for a large group. With a bit of TLC this home could be really nice. The screened in porch, firepit and hot tub look like they would be fun in the summertime.
I celebrated my birthday at this beautiful peaceful place!! They had everything we needed! My family and I really enjoyed ourselves! We would love to stay again!!!
