Premier 8 BR Home-The Eagle's Nest! Hot Tub, Game Room, Fire Pit!
The Eagle's Nest was designed for corporate meetings/events, golf/ski groups, and destination family and friend gatherings. The Jo Daviess County overnight maximum occupancy for The Eagle's Nest is 16 people (including children). This home is NOT pet-friendly.
The Eagle's Nest is the largest private vacation rental home in the area with its extraordinary 12,000-square-foot interior. It is one of the most exclusive and sought-after premier vacation rental properties in Galena. It is a one-of-a-kind "must-see/must-stay" property. As you enter the great room on the main level, you immediately feel the spaciousness and luxury. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide natural lighting and panoramic views of our surrounding wooded acreage. The great room's focal point is the floor-to-ceiling limestone wood-burning fireplace (wood supplied). The warmth of leather furniture surrounds it, as well as sizeable distinctive area rugs and natural hickory hardwood floors. To the left is an intimate library nook. The main level has an open-concept floor plan with twin dining tables (seating for 16) and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen. The L-shaped granite counter (seat 12) is perfect for buffet-style serving. Step out onto the 115-ft. main-level wood deck (tables and seating for 16), where you will find a 52-inch gas grill. Enjoy your favorite beverage, a barbeque, and the outdoors.
The Eagle's Nest has 8 bedrooms: 4 bedrooms on the main level and 4 bedrooms upstairs. Two bedrooms on the main level near the kitchen are handicap accessible, each with one king bed, a walk-in shower, and a soaking tub. The remaining 6 bedrooms all feature 2 king beds. Every bedroom is decorated with Galena-themed décor, custom coverlets, pillow shams, and window coverings with a room-darkening feature. You will find extra blankets, down comforters, and pillows. Each en-suite bathroom has a jetted tub, two sinks, and a walk-in custom-designed tiled shower with 9 ft. ceilings. There is ample room in the lower level (4000 square feet) for your group to enjoy games, movies, and more. The room has a 70" HD TV, pool table, poker table, air hockey, foosball, and ping-pong table. You will find a 27' bar with (seating for 13), three pub tables (seating for 12), a bar sink, dishwasher, beverage ware, an additional full-size refrigerator, and, available for your convenience, a laundry room. The southwest wall opens to the 70'patio with 4 double sliding glass doors. This will welcome guests onto the furnished patio for alfresco drinks and dining. Enjoy a walk on the designated path through the private wooded property, or gather your friends/family and play volleyball on the sand court. At the end of your day, enjoy the eight-person hot tub under cover in the gazebo located just off the patio or roast marshmallows over the open firepit. Please note there are exterior security cameras at this property.

We visited in January to celebrate my 50th birthday. We had 8 couples so each had a room and bathroom. Everything was clean and comfortable. The kitchen also had everything you could possibly need. We had the best time!
Stay was good, there are no extras in the house (shampoo etc), you have to take trash with you.

There are so many extras! We almost think this review is for a different home. We provide, propane, firewood, dish detergent, hand soap, laundry soap, all paper goods, coffee, kcups and so much more. You also leave the garbage right there at the house! There are 4 large cans for you to deposit your waste in and your cleaning fee covers the cost of the removal. Future guests if you question this review feel free to reach out but know this home is an absolute gem and you will not regret staying with us!

The property was spectacular! It was a perfect place to hold a retreat. The house, the amenities, location -- it was all perfect. In addition, Linda was a huge asset in the planning and beyond. Thank you!
“Our group of 15 loved the house! The location was perfect, and the home was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The basement area was a big hit, with a great selection of games to keep everyone entertained. It had everything we needed for a wonderful stay, and everyone had a fantastic time.”

Three generations of my family had a wonderful long weekend in the Eagle's Nest. The eight large master bedrooms, each with its own lux master bath, were a big hit. The large main floor and downstairs gathering spaces were perfect for all of us to relax and enjoy the weekend. The management company was great and very responsive to all our questions.
All around great place! Lots of space and room for our whole family. The bedrooms were so nice and each family had their own privacy and individual bath. Recreation area was a favorite and hot tub.
Beautiful house. Great getaway with lots of option for families.

Our family skiing trip/reunion was so wonderful because of our stay here. The place was so spacious and big enough to accommodate us yet still warm and cozy. We hope to come to this getaway every year!
This property was spectacular! The accommodations were great, the location was great and the owners were available and responsive!

Fantastic, we rented this house last year on the same weekend. The house was very clean, well-organized and perfect for our purposes. Additionally, we were able to get tee times for golf at a discounted price! One small problem was figuring out how to operate the multiple televisions? We were not able to watch a football game that was airing on "regular" tv? Possible solution? You Tube TV? Overall, very satisfied with all aspects of our stay!

Cannot recommend this property enough. From initial booking and working with the owners, through check out, this was an A+ experience. I had a large group of guys in town for a golf trip and this property was beyond expectations for that type of trip. Massive common areas allow space for everyone to hang out while 8 bedrooms and 14 king size beds give everyone the rest and privacy needed at the end of the day. Hope I can put together another group of this size to get back as soon as possible!
