About this property

Dressed for the Holidays!

Our home will be decorated for the holidays from mid November through early January! This home is nestled in a small community and backs up to dense forest, beyond which is Lake Galena (viewable after the trees shed their fall luster)! Enjoy listening to the birds as you sip your morning coffee on one of the two decks, or screened in porch. Enjoy a glass of wine around the gas firepit as you unwind from a day of adventuring or shopping in downtown Galena. This home features three levels, each of which has a full bath and bedroom. The main level offers the great room that flows into the dining and kitchen areas; screen porch, and large deck. The lower level offers a pool table, additional TV with bar type seating, and deck. The upper level offers an additional loft area. The home’s layout is perfect for both gatherings and a personal oasis.

Owners Club amenities include indoor & outdoor pools, tennis and pickle ball courts, game room, & fitness center. Boat rentals available on beautiful Lake Galena!

Perfect Getaway

Our stay at this property in Galena Territory was so very nice. The townhouse was clean & spacious & pretty. The club amenities allowed many extra activities if we wanted them and all of easy access. Though hot and humid, the screened-in porch worked well early a.m. and in the evening. The available games kept my granddaughter busy for hours! All adults felt relaxed and “away from it all”. Thank you!

Great Stay

We loved our week in Galena and the house was exactly as described. There were 6 of us (three generations) in the house and with the 3 bedrooms it was perfect. The owners were very responsive to our texts and communication! I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wanting to rent a house in Galena.

Excellence abound

We couldn’t have been more pleased with the conditions of the home in which we stayed. We felt at home immediately as the pictures provided very accurately portrayed the dwelling. We were able to use much of the associated Eagle Ridge resort amenities including tennis, pickleball, swimming and sauna. The surrounding area is simply gorgeous with amazing vistas and a short, easy drive into Galena. We would definitely stay here again next time we are in the area.

Weekend Getaway

We stayed in this property a few days after the New Year holiday for a getaway. The house is very clean, very cute and well equipped. There is was adequate space for 6 adults and the pool table was an added bonus for our group. Quick drive into Galena and there was lots to do. For sure should stay here again!

Perfect Getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at this charming house. The layout was perfect for our needs and the home is so inviting. Everyone enjoyed having their own bedroom and bathroom on different levels. Great location - secluded and quiet yet close to downtown Galena. We enjoyed feeding and watching the birds from the porch and deck. Great communication with Lorebeth. Would definitely stay here again!

NICE!

Location was perfect for us. We were there for a wedding nearby and close to other family & friends in the area. Lots of trees on property. Back deck was covered with leaves and squirrels (enjoyed watching them!). Certainly quiet and peaceful.

Perfect Hideaway

We loved the location as it was far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Galena but close enough for a quick run into town. The house is beautiful and we appreciated the 3 separate sleeping areas. Having 3 full bathrooms was very helpful. We loved sitting on the screened-in porch where we could eat, chat, read, etc. The area around the house is amazing-great for a brisk morning walk. We’ll definitely be returning to this lovely home.

Wedding weekend

Very quaint and peaceful, but lacking in comfort as to mattresses, pillows and bedding. Also there's a musty/moldy smell throughout the home.

9 Pinehurst was an exceptional home, so well thought out. Three levels so each couple had their own private space were perfect with the kitchen, dining and family area where everyone could gather. The home was very clean, tastefully decorated and so well furnished with home away from home supplies and necessities. The setting is peaceful and serene. We would definitely stay there again.

Galena get away

House was great. Worked good for 3 friends. All having our own bath/bedroom. Our code didn't work to get in the property. Ring picked it up and someone was able to set it again. Communication/questions to host prior to stay were not answered. We were there on a VERY busy weekend. Had inquired about taxi/uber. No answer. Would have been nice if we would have had some warning about not being able to taxi or uber because of the busy weekend. That was a question that was never answered.

40th Anniversary Celebration

We had three couples and enjoyed this house so much! It was so nice to be able to stay with friends and have a space we could catch up. We enjoyed watching and feeding the birds. (The squirrels helped themselves too). We felt like we were in a tree house. We all loved that each couple had their own bathroom! Laura Beth was a great hostess.
