Great location, could golf, hike, sit outside and enjoy the beauty of nature, trees were changing color. The house is warm and inviting and everything was available for our comfort. Easy access to Galena. Had a wonderful time and felt comfortable and very safe. Host was just a phone call or text away. Highly recommend!

Thank you Milinda! We couldn't be more pleased that you found the home comfortable and welcoming. We have to agree the location is fabulous, within walking distance to many of The Galena Territory highlights. If the balloons are flying they create additional enjoyment just steps away! We enjoyed having you as our guests and hope to have another opportunity the next time Galena is in your travel plans. Thank you for choosing our Casa Cedar Bluff home!

Comfortable for large groups

There were 7 of us, but we all had our own private spaces to escape to. We all slept well with 2 queens, twin beds and a sofa bed. Kitchen was tight when there was more than one cook, but we managed. Two out seating areas helped expand the place. About a 15 minute drive to downtown Galena, but the member clubhouse, which you drive to, had more than enough activities. Would stay longer than 2 nights next time.

Thank you Chris! We're pleased you chose to make this lovely 3 bedroom home work for your 7 person group! Hopefully you had a chance to see some hot air balloons take off from the launch just next door, they are a beautiful sight! You're welcome to return any time and we hope to see you again. All the best!

Cute Spot In Quiet Area

I traveled there with four kiddos (ages between 6-9), sister in law, and mother in law. It was big enough for all of us to have our own spaces but definitely a good size for all of us to enjoy time together. The kiddos loved the pool and it was a great trip! We were there for the Halloween parade festivities, hiking with goats (highly recommend) and anything else that jumped out that weekend. It was a great weekend away and we got to see a hot air balloon take off - exciting for kids and adults!

Why they chose this property

This townhouse unit is the closest to Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa and offers seasonal lake views and a beautiful wooded view! The location of this townhouse is perfect as it is just steps away from the spa, shops and restaurants. Best part is the awesome sunrise or sunset. The hot air balloon launch is just outside our front door for your viewing pleasure. Also this home has 3 bedrooms and bathrooms all on separate floors which is perfect for families to spread out and have space.

What makes this property unique

He chose Galena because of its proximity to the Chicago area and the many attractions. It's a very charming and relaxing town filled with quaint shops, coffeehouses, restaurants and artisan shops.

The Galena Territory is a beautiful place to relax, unwind and rejuvenate. This is our chosen special getaway!
