Family weekend

We enjoyed our weekend immensely. Overall, the interior was very clean and felt like a vacation retreat. We had a little with us, so we brought a fencing to put around the open stairway for safety. We would not recommend this home for young children unless you are prepared to bring child safety equipment and activities to occupy them. We thoroughly enjoyed the Owners Club, but think that if you rent a house that sleeps 12, you should have more than 6 guest passes. The arrea was very picturesque with hilly landscape and felt like we were farther away than Illinois! This area is a gem!

Forty was fun

We stayed with 4 adult couples for my wife’s 40th birthday. We had an awesome time and the house was perfect for our low key getaway. We loved the real wood fireplace, beautiful hot tub and well equipped house. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect for our family

This is the second time we have stayed in this home. It is the perfect size for our family and we love that every bedroom has its own bathroom. The owners club is a big perk and we enjoy the Galena downtown as well. It’s a great home away from home!

Nice place!

Perfect setting for our needs. 5 couples with each their own bedroom and bathroom. Very clean. Does have a couple maintenance issues - but didn't affect our stay. Would definitely use this place again.

Overall good!

We had a great time staying together as a big family. The house is very spacious and we all loved that each bedroom had its own bath. There were a few things that weren’t working perfectly but otherwise we had a great stay.

Nice buy 1 thing

The house is very nice and spacious. I would stay again. The only thing that bothered us was the many stains on the carpet upstairs and done.

Great family weekend getaway

We recently stayed here with a large family, and it was the perfect place for a group getaway! The house was incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room for everyone to spread out while still having cozy common areas where we could gather. The bedrooms were comfortable, and we appreciated that many had en-suite bathrooms, which made mornings much more relaxed for our group. The kitchen was well-equipped and large enough for us to cook meals together, and the dining area easily accommodated our family for shared meals. The location was ideal for us, too – peaceful and scenic, yet close enough to stores and attractions so we never felt isolated. The owners were responsive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. We highly recommend this house for families or groups looking for a comfortable, well-maintained home with plenty of space and all the amenities you could need for a relaxing stay!

Definitely not worth the money

Despite issues with the house, we still had a good time. When we arrived everything seemed great until we realized how many issues the house had. The following are a few of the issues. Jacuzzi tub on main floor does not work - the toilet paper holder in the main floor bath is broken (there is only half of the holder still on the wall with a free standing roll holder. either fix the wall or only keep the free standing holder) - there is one knob on the stove that is stripped and will not engage the valve - all stove burners should be inspected and adjusted - there is very little control over the flame size making cooking ANYTHING on the stovetop extremely difficult - the oven light is out - the kitchen spotlight over the stove is burned out and filthy! - several kitchen cabinets and drawers do not work properly/smoothly - one porch light is out - there are only three walkway lights and two are broken (it is very difficult to navigate the walkway at night) - the hot tub light is out - the screen door from the screened porch to the deck does not function properly - there are several ripped screens on the porch The property manager was great up until we voiced our concerns after our stay. He decided to blame us for not mentioning anything when we found the issues and refused to acknowledge any of it. He had plenty of excuses though. At the end of the day, yes we could have called each and every time we found an issue. However, we did not spend four thousand dollars to advise of issues that should not have existed. Not to mention possibly having to change plans to accommodate a repair person and the time it would take to fix the issue. I would stay away from this rental company. We are property owners and frequently visit Galena. There are plenty of better priced and better maintained houses on the territory.

Wooded retreat

Eagle Ridge resort and its properties are beautiful, and we enjoyed our stay in this home. It is tucked into the trees which affords a lot of privacy. Every bedroom has its own bathroom which worked wonderfully for us with four families in the house. New carpet must have been installed throughout as it was very clean, but did make it hard to close the doors. We used the deck and the grill, and the kids enjoyed the hot tub! With twelve people, we had a lot of food with no where to put it. The pantry is locked and the cupboards are full of dishes which was really great for so many people but the counters were filled with boxes and bags for our stay. The screen to the porch door was ripped, but luckily there were no mosquitos so we could still use the porch. The property is somewhat dated and the yard overgrown with a fallen tree. These are aesthetics, our stay was very pleasant, the neighborhood was quiet and a walking path was close so we could walk to the resort, tennis courts, playground and pickleball courts.

Great location and beautiful house. Nice and clean, comfortable beds and great overall layout. The towels were clean but a bit old. Small leak in one of the windows, but to be fair a giant storm hit when we were at the home. Hosts were extremely easy to work with and checking in and out was fast and smooth. Would definitely recommend for a large group.

Enjoyable stay

We were a group of 6 adults and 5 kids. The house had plenty of space for all of us, was clean and the kitchen was stocked well too. Communication from Brian was great and check in and check out was a breeze.

Family Wedding Get-Together

Stayed here with my 4 siblings and all our spouses. The property itself was great--nestled well into the landscaping and very nicely decorated! The great room / kitchen / screened-in porch / deck areas gave a very open feeling, which is great for a large group. Also nice to have a bathroom for each room! However, the carpeting (in the downstairs area particularly) smelled very strongly of pet urine. There were countless spots on the carpet itself that looked as if someone half-tried to clean it, but was unsuccessful. Being a dog-friendly home does not equate to urine stains / smells being at all acceptable. When I did reach out to inform about the situation, I was basically dismissed and told it is not the problem of the place, but instead with my own sensitivities. Again, when 5 groups of 2 people arrive at different times and all smell the same thing upon entering, not even mentioning the still damp marks themselves, this is not a matter of sensitivities whatsoever. Half of us are pet owners, mind you. When I then voiced my concerns again, taking time out of my holiday weekend, I was told by Brian that he himself went over and 'tested' the areas--so again, not justifying our complaints, but just looking at how he can dismiss them. Again, the state of the house/carpet was completely apparent. The person I communicated with was of zero help, and rather rude. We still enjoyed ourselves, but I would not recommend this house, despite it looking great on paper, and at first.

Family weekend getaway

This property was a great size for our group of 7 adults and 2 teens. The house was well stocked with paper products such as paper towel and toilet paper. Shampoo, body wash and conditioner was an unexpected but appreciated surprise. It was great to have a gas grill and there was even an extra tank ready to go if we needed it. The house is definitely a well used rental but the beds were comfortable and the space was great for our group! Brian was easy to communicate with and was helpful with getting golf passes to our rental before we arrived.

Golf weekend with the guys

Location and house perfect for our group of ten golfers for a weekend...we have stayed at Eagle Ridge Resort near Galena annually for many years and this property was one of the best! Usually we have used the resort golf package but selection was minimal and actually, cheaper to do a VRBO and use their special golf rate rather than the package. Brian was a great host and very helpful!
