The property was very nice and quiet. There are 2 sets of stairs leading from the parking lot down to the condo so be aware of that if you have some mobility issues. The owners were very responsive and we enjoyed our stay.

Great space with a great location

The place was immaculate, check in and communication couldn't have been any easier. A very well appointed rental. Overall a very comfortable stay for us. My single complaint is that the toilets seem to be the smallest toilets ever created, so if you're over 5 feet tall you might not enjoy the squat :)

Beautiful, relaxing townhome. The king bed was very comfortable. Stairs to get from the parking can be a bit taxing on a hot day, but should not detract from this very nice home.

Outstanding experience especially the friendly contact with owner and the beauty of the accommodation. Excellent fireplace and grill and all appliances spotless.

We have missed Galena since leaving this VRBO included. Dana was very communicative and helpful. We received thorough instructions that helped with our experience. Anything I could think to ask was already answered. The VRBO was beautiful and peaceful. I have no complaints. I will reach out again should we choose to return.

Nice, Comfy Getaway spot

Nice little townhouse in the Galena area. Dana and Nathan are great communicators. Check in was extremely easy and the unit was well appointed. All the amenities of the Galena Territory owners club were available as were the Eagle Ridge Golf courses. Galena itself is only about 15-20 minutes away for shopping and lots of restaurants. We were very please with this location and would definitely use it again

Driftless getaway

I only have good things to say. Property is located in a beautiful part of Illinois. Was very clean, very comfortable, very quiet. Lots of bunnies and wild turkey roaming around. Practically had the pool to yourself most of the time. Just steps from the condo. Golfers dream. We explored most of our week. Iowa/Dubuque one day, Wisconsin another. Galena a couple of days. Beautiful State parks only minutes away. I would highly recommend this property and these hosts.

Our stay in this home was absolutely wonderful! Everything about this home was as described. It was exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated, well-appointed and comfortable in all respects, and a great location. The hosts were highly responsive in all regards. Their pre-stay communications were outstanding, including the information provided about the home and area. We had one question during our stay, which was responded to almost immediately. Based on reviews for this home, our expectations were high and they were all met. During our next visit to the Galena area, this home will be at the top of our list to reserve. We truly look forward to our next stay!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent visit to your beautiful golf villa! We were there to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. We loved the privacy the villa provided, and we were impressed by the cleanliness and the villa's location. We visited Ulysses S. Grant's Home, Grant View Park, Galena Territory and many of the shops and restaurants. We especially loved Vinny Vanucchi's restaurant where we celebrated our anniversary dinner!
