Great house for family Christmas!

The owner was very communicative before our trip and supplied us with lots of information. She was also available for questions during our stay. The house was amazing and offered tons of space for our family of 8 with lots of amenities. Everything was in good working condition, clean, and well stocked. We had a fabulous time!

Wonderful Holiday Stay with large family

Booked a weekend stay for family members to gather at one location with pets to celebrate Thanksgiving. The host was gracious in preparing the home for our Thanksgiving stay with Thanksgiving decorations and dishes. The home was beautiful, clean and gave a warm cozy welcome. We enjoyed playing pool, ping-pong, darts, and the hot tub. Plenty of room for all. Enjoyed sitting down at the fire pit looking up at the stars. This was truly a great holiday experience at a beautiful home. Located to Galena shops and the Apple River for a great nature hike or fishing.

Hi y'all! I grew up in Dubuque IA as a hardworking midwest gal, that is now a proud Texan enjoying life, family and friends! Enjoy getting back 'home' to visit my family and enjoy the calm and simple life this area has to offer!

The Galena Territory boasts spectacular vistas, valleys, prairies, and woodlands, and harbor rare plant and bird species found nowhere else in Illinois. With a commitment to protecting and preserving this natural environment, The Galena Territory was designated a Community Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation in 2010. On Jan. 11, 2021 The Galena Territory Was Named As A Dark Sky Friendly Development Of Distinction Award Recipient.

What makes this property unique

This is property backs right up to the wilderness. When in the back you'll feel like you went hiking and found the perfect spot to set up a campfire, there are 2 decks to enjoy the view, not to mention most guests rave about the 3 seasons room off the upper deck; great for playing games and catching up with your loved ones over dinner; without bugs! And that basement has all the fun... set up with 2 bar tables and bar with bar stools... a pool table, ping pong and a poker table! There's darts while you wait your turn at pool, two flat screens to play some music or catch a game. We also have a huge smart TV in the media room great for the kiddos when they aren't out exploring outdoors! From the basement sliding doors lead you out to the lower-level deck, which also houses the Hot Tub perfect to soak in that treelined view!
