Lovely home with great amenities. Short drive into Galena, with so many great shops. Best Old Fashioneds ever at The Great Escape. Hot tub very clean and just the right temperature. Clear instructions from the host. Highly recommend for a relaxing get-away.

Perfect Couples Getaway!

We had a great stay! Each bedroom has an attached bathroom, which is so wonderful for a couples getaway. The hot tub was great, as were the views. We cooked in for most meals and the kitchen was pretty well supplied with cookware.

Disappointed

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.

Outstanding Location

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!

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!

This property was beautiful. The house is in an excellent area as its quiet and you can enjoy the scenery and nature, but you are not completely isolated. We drove into Galena every day and had a blast in the city, and our kids loved swimming at the resort and golfing. The rooms were very comfortable and we all had our separate area. I would love to come back here this winter

The house itself was very cute! We all appreciated that it wasn't cheap furniture and decor that was in this place. We had an issue with the plumbing but was quickly resolved :)Everything seemed very well taken care of. All of us kept talking about how nice the house it and how much fun it was to be there. It was wonderful that there was firewood already at the property and they even had bug spray!
