Great family vacation

Best VRBO EVER

This is one of the best VRBO properties you will ever stay at. It is charming, UBER clean, and you can tell that the owners were meticulous in the time that they put into this renovating this property. There is something to do for the entire family. I wish we could have stayed longer. Kudos to the owners!!!

Great place for a family vacation!

We had 12 family members staying at this lovely home! It was large enough to accommodate all of us. There was so much to see in this thoughtful 6 bedroom home. I especially liked the theater room and the screen porch! We will be going back soon I hope.

Absolutely great family fun!

Long Easter weekend was our Christmas gift to our family! The home was perfect for everyone, from the game room, to the hot tub, movie room, huge dining room table for family dinners, and our youngest granddaughter loved her "own crib" ( she's 2)! Very relaxing too! I can't say enough good things about this home! Great host too!

Love Timber Ridge

This is the 5th year our family stayed at Timber Ridge to celebrate Christmas and we’ll keep coming back. The game room and Sapling room are great for keeping kids entertained. The home is secluded behind trees and has beautiful surroundings. The dining room and table is large enough for everyone. The beds are the most comfortable of any rental we’ve stayed at. Our family loves this house.

Basswood Lane was an amazing stay! We visited Galena and stayed at this home, which absolutely met all of our needs. When it came to the cleanliness and all the amenities, the house has to offer. It was a perfect home for all of our families. Downtown is a 15 minute drive and close to a bunch of shops and eatery in town. Weather came to the hot tub, the movie theater room or the amazing dining room table. All we did was laugh and enjoy our time at this house. Such a cool spot. All of our kids loved it and we created some great memories this weekend thank you for letting us stay at your home and I 10 out of 10. Recommend this house. PS this was also one of the first houses that I have ever been to that legit had everything that you have at your own home. Pots pans, utensils, you name it this house had it. Look forward to staying here again in the future.

Multifamily dream location

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: Our group had an absolutely excellent stay at Timber ridge! There were three families, all with small children and we did not feel short on space at any moment during our stay! There was plenty for all the kids to do, and space for the adults to be away from children while they were sleeping. The game room was super fun for everyone and the playroom under the stairs was so fun for our children of varying ages! We super appreciated the large enough table to be able to fit all of our guests and all of the accommodations made for even our littlest group member. Linda was very helpful during our stay and answered questions promptly. We had a wonderful experience and stay at Timber Ridge and would absolutely stay again!

Great Getaway

Our family of 8 adults and 4 kids, aged 7-11, had a wonderful weekend. It was too cold for outdoor activity but there was lots to keep everybody entertained in the roomy house and separate game room. We were gathering for a late Christmas celebration and were happy to see the Christmas tree and decorations around the house. We contacted the service for early check-in, and again with a problem with the game room door lock, and our concerns were handled quickly and courteously. We would consider using this house again and recommend it to others.

Christmas get-away with the extended family

This was the perfect setting for my family's Christmas celebration. Three days of rest, games, and laughter. Plus shopping in Galena! The home suited our needs perfectly. Very clean and spacious. Only downside was the Internet speed. Would have loved to have used the theater room more, but the slow speed kept us from watching anything there. Excellent job on that room, by the way. I managed a small theater in my twenties and loved seeing the splicer!!

Timber Ridge Vacation

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: This was the perfect place for a family of 12 to enjoy the area of Galena. The various rooms allowed for family to find a place for their own needs as well as the living room that allowed for all of us to gather together. The game room and toy area under the stairs was a hit with the children along with the movie theatre. The screened in porch was a perfect place to begin the morning with the sunrise. The owners have made this place feel like home and we appreciate them opening it up for rental for us to enjoy.

Fall weekend at Timber Ridge Galend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were lucky with perfect fall weather last weekend and the perfect property to enjoy it. The new family room furniture and outdoor deck furniture were greatly appreciated and enjoyed. The game room and movie room are favorites of my grandchildren:) We enjoyed hiking in the beautiful wooded areas, s'mores at the firepit, tennis games, and of course the quaintness of Galena.I also appreciate how well stocked the kitchen and bathrooms are, but I would make a suggestion about perhaps replacing the cookie sheets in the bottom drawer of the stove. This was our second visit and we will be back!!!

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 love the Timber Ridge Home. It is perfect for our group. The first floor master suite was just what we needed. We have been friends for over fifty years and we have a couple of ladies with mobility issues. We started with dinner at the Log Cabin. We cook and laugh and talk, and have plentiful cocktails. We have a spa day and a shopping day. We binge watched Bridgerton this year. We enjoy reading about the owners journey in creating this lovely home. Glad they chose to share it. This is our third girls trip to Galena. We will be back in 2022!
