We had a great stay in Galena Territories; the house was comfortable and we enjoyed the screened in porch, the hot tub and the fire pit. The beds were comfortable as well and we took advantage of the community pool and the walkable area. It was an easy 15 minutes into Galena itself and overall, a good experience.

The Goldilocks House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My friends and I dubbed this the Goldilocks house. Everything about it is just right. One friend said of all the houses we've rented before, this was her favorite. There was plenty of room for the three of us to spread out and relax. And the best part is the loft game area. We had so much fun. There were no issues with the rental process and Linda was great getting everything ready for our stay.

While we appreciate the great review we do want to remind future guests to reach out with any issues! We can’t resolve them if we don’t know about them! We have hot tub techs in the area daily and we could have totally helped with this.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house provided everything we needed for our family. The lower level with 2 beds, 2 baths and family area was perfect for our kids and grandkids to have their own space. We also enjoyed the fire ring and use of the garage. The location was nice and it was a quick drive to get to the Owners club. The pool was great for the grandkids and adults. We had a great stay.

60th Birthday Family Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved High Ridge Hideaway! It had everything we needed and more! We had a rainy week but the house was cozy inside, plenty of space to have meals, play games, make crafts, celebrate a special 60th birthday, watch football, etc. The hot tub was perfect to warm up in and then in between rains, we used the fire pit and appreciated all the wood that was there to use. We even hiked the path in the backyard and had to dodge turkeys. Each comfortable bedroom had its own spacious bathroom, and we definitely had our "game on" in the game room!! And the screened in porch, we named it the "tree house." Morning coffee in the tree house was peaceful. We also appreciated the garage! We did venture into Galena for shopping, dinner, golf, kayaking, Grant House, went to the town of Elizabeth for the Antique store, drove around The Territory and stopped at the Marina and Thunder Bay Falls. We highly recommend High Ridge Hideaway!!! It is a rental that we will be telling everyone about!!

Great Home

This house was so well appointed and nicely decorated. We drove into Galena (about 5 miles) one day but mostly stayed in the house. Nice outdoor furniture and a great fire pit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Amazing getaway

We brought our boys to Galena for a quick trip over Spring Break. Every part of the house was perfect for our needs; game room, hot tub, beds in rooms, access to pools, etc. We will absolutely be staying at this house again!

Spring Break

My husband, kids (ages 12 and 9), and parents stayed here for a few nights over our Spring Break. Had a relaxing time in your home. Enjoyed the game room as well as watching the turkeys and deer out the windows! Pictures are accurate and home is clean. Stayed here last year and will stay again!
