**Enjoy Golf Benefits** Guests of this home have access to our Golf Membership at Eagle Ridge, which provides preferred rates and tee times at The General, The North Course, and the South Course! Contact us for details.

Our Grand Galena Retreat is 4500 sq ft of amazing space for your friends & family to enjoy! When you arrive, you'll have access to the garage and space to park another 3-5 cars in the driveway. Enter our home and be prepared to experience the getaway you've been wanting. The open-concept main floor features an airy family and dining room with a spectacular deck view (outdoor seating & gas grill) and beyond. Gather around the woodburning fireplace or kick back and watch the game on our large flat-screen TV. Our dining room will easily host your holiday gathering, seating 10 at our table & 4 at the counter. There is additional seating in the kitchen for another 4, a great place for the kids or an extra spot for prep. Our stainless appliances will make cooking a breeze in the fully stocked kitchen. Great extra space for the adults in your group who will love our Whiskey Room. Sit back and reminisce about the day, watch TV, or play shuffleboard in a space just for you. Our primary bedroom is also on the main level with a large jetted tub, walk-in shower, and double sinks. Next, head upstairs to our upstairs bonus room, which offers comfortable seating and a TV and is open to below to be "close enough" to the group, but enjoy your special spot. Down the hall is an ensuite bedroom with a queen size bed, right across the hall is another ensuite bedroom w/2 Queen beds. Our lower level will excite the pool and poker players in your group! The game room also has an arcade, karaoke, fireplace & access to the outdoor deck w/hot tub. There are 3 additional bedrooms and w/attached baths on the lower level. Two have King size beds and the last has a Queen. We provide the most comfortable linens and bedding with extra pillows & blankets for maximum relaxation. Don't forget the firepit w/seating for 10 in our spacious backyard! Please note there is a 4-night minimum from June - August.

You will have access to the GTA Owners Club while staying with us. The indoor pool is open year-round, and the outdoor pool is open from Memorial Day - Labor Day.

Great house for a group

Very spacious and plenty of room for a big group. We all loved the hot tub, karaoke machine & all the other fun amenities. Loved having 2 refrigerators, but would like to note that there's not an ice maker in either of them.

Great place for a big family!

Every year we get a big house for our family to hang out. Had a blast! Plenty of room for games and the hot tub was great! Loved that the bedrooms were far enough away that the kids could go to bed and adults could still stay up and chat without bothering them! Access to the owners club for the pool was great too!

A group of 8 moms had a mothers day weekend away. We enjoyed downtown galena, and relaxed in the hot tub! We took a shuttle service so we didn’t have to worry about driving & did a wine tour which was great!

Holiday Fun

This house was perfect for our family to get together for the holidays. There was plenty of room and very clean. The teens loved the pool table in the basement and the loft upstairs. I would be happy to stay at this house again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautifully decorated comfortable large home perfect for 9 girls on a weekend getaway. Could be slightly cleaner in certain areas. Spotty WiFi and tv service at times. Lots of nice amenities in the home. Hot tub and karaoke machine were appreciated and used. Would recommend with a few cleaning tweaks . Not too far from downtown Galena-15 minute drive.

Great house for multigenerational family weekend

We had a wonderful weekend here with our multigenerational family. The bedrooms are all nice, quiet, comfortable and private. Lots of areas to gather, play and relax. The hot tub was great, kitchen well stocked, screened in porch lovely and view from the deck was so calming! There were a couple of items not stocked (hand soap in powder room, coffee filters in kitchen) that would have been nice. But overall no complaints from our group!! Just lots of fun times with our family and great times for our group including toddlers, tweens, teens and grandparents alike!

Another great family weekend

This was our second time staying here as the property is great with all the amenities of home and plenty of room for everyone. We spent the weekend skiing and the hot tub was great to come back to after a long day at Chestnut. The only recommendation I have is to add soap, shampoo and conditioner.

Lovely Girls Getaway

The home did not disappoint. Rural area but easy enough to go into Galena, a scenic dinner at Timmerman's in East Dubuque, and antiquing in Elizabeth. Everyone having their own space was nice, although the deck is a bit rough and needs some love. A tea kettle would have been appreciated, but overall pretty well stocked. The thermostats were vexing, patio doors stuck a little, and be prepared for sketchy wifi, as you are in a wooded area. Both Laura and Todd were responsive to our needs with setting up a few things in the home. They really made the experience top notch.

Great house

House is very large and what we needed (there were 14 of us). It was very clean and had a well stocked kitchen with newer appliances. Maintenance of house was good and most furniture in good condition except that tables in dining room, kitchen, and living room were very worn.

Perfect house for weekend getaway

This house is exactly as described/shown…it’s simply amazing! Beautiful decor, functional in every way (furniture layout with lots of seating, kitchen stocked with every accessory needed). We brought a group of teens with us and they loved all the games, hot tub, fire pit, etc. I can’t imagine a better house to entertain in. The only downside was the karaoke machine would not power on. But with so many other activities to choose from, it was obviously not a big deal. We enjoyed the owners club rec center too.
