About
This home is approximately 8 miles or 15 minutes from Downtown Galena. This home is NOT pet-friendly. You must be 25 or older when booking and present the entire stay
This spacious 4-bedroom home with a Large Outdoor Hot Tub and Pool Table is nestled in a serene wooded setting in the beautiful Galena Territory. 3 King Beds, 1 Queen bed, and 2 Twin beds will delight your guests. The home's main level is the place to enjoy your friends and family. The living room has a large fireplace, kitchen, and dining room, all open to each other. There are 2 Master En Suites, one on the main level and one on the lower level; these will allow you to stretch out and enjoy some private spaces while being close to the action on the main level with open dining/living rooms and a kitchen. Also on the main level is a front room with 2 twin beds, replacing the sofa sleeper in the lower level for your +2, allowing the home to sleep 10 in beds. There is another bedroom on the second floor with hallway access to a bathroom with a tub and a shower. In addition to the King ensuite on the lower level, there is a Queen bedroom with hallway access to a full bathroom. (This home had a sofa sleeper for years, which continued to get broken, so the owner has installed 2 twin beds in a common space upstairs to sleep your +2). The garage is not available for guests to use.
The home is just a few minutes from the Territory Owners Club (pool, fitness center, and more), Lake Galena, and is close to several Golf Courses and Spa. Just fifteen minutes to historic downtown Galena and Chestnut Mountain!
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 through Labor Day. The club is an exclusive amenity that can only be used by Galena Territory property owners and their guests. The Owners' Club includes an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor swimming pool w/slides, a kiddie pool, a fitness room, a game room, indoor/outdoor basketball courts, tennis courts, a seasonal snack bar, free WiFi, and an outdoor playground. Don't forget to visit Lake Galena, The Shenandoah Riding Center, and hiking trails throughout the 6,800-acre property. Please remember that the usage of the amenities is NEVER guaranteed. We do not offer discounts or refunds due to their closure.

Leave a ReviewFun weekend!
John L., Neenah, WI United States
K&M wedding
Ben B., MONTGOMERY, IL US
Awesome
Great stay
Recent Guest, N/A, CO United States
We came with 4 other couples for a fun weekend. House was beautiful, but does require some maintenance. Nothing extraordinary, mostly cosmetic. Could use a deep cleaning, as far as the carpets,etc. Only complaint is room with double beds does need a door for privacy. Everything else was fine.
Family of Five
Recent Guest, Wadsworth, IL United States
The house was in a good location (close to the Owners' resort) but it was very dated and many things were not in great condition (e.g. porch blinds were broken, shower door didn't open).
Galena vacation
Recent Guest, Lowden, IA US
We enjoyed our stay at the very nice home. The home was very clean and comfortable. The Wi-fi was the only problem we had. We very much enjoyed sitting on the screened porch and watching the blue birds and wrens.
Manager's Response
So glad you enjoyed Sharon! If in one of our homes and you have a tech question or issue please don't hesitate to contact us!
Stressful stay due to Mites
Julie T., Algonquin, IL US
not relaxing at all there were mites in the main bedroom and bathroom and management was more worried about the guest arriving that following Monday afternoon. The last day was stressful products thrown away expensive makeup, electric toothbrush, hairbrush etc. Managment did not seem to care about this at all our refunding money for last night along with product thrown away.
Beautiful House- needs some TLC and cleaning though!
Recent Guest, Sun Prairie, WI United States
Property location perfect for a family wedding in Galena. We really felt that this house could use some repairs and better cleaning- broken window cranks with signs on them to not use, very bad smell in the basement where 2 bedrooms are, (mildew,damp, musty, not freshly cleaned), mildew seen in two showers downstairs, spider webs, and filthy dining room rug (crumbs and stains). Disappointed with how much we paid that the house wasn't cleaner. Hot tub was clean and a nice amenity however!
Great Property!
Recent Guest, Chicago, IL US
Everything was great! Responsive owner, beautiful home, highly recommend!
Perfect Winter Getaway
Audra B., Oswego, IL US
We had a fantastic time at this home in Galena. It's an ideal property for families or multiple couples as the bedrooms are all spread out and there are tons of bathrooms. The layout is perfect for central gathering with plenty of room for everyone. Beds were comfy, showers were great, view was beautiful. Close to town and skiing. Looking forward to visiting Galena again in the summer or fall and would absolutely stay here again!
Galena Christmas
Wanda V., New Hartford, IA United States
The house is large and has a beautiful wood fireplace. Could use a little TLC, felt a little dirty and dated. The windows are crank out and some of them wouldnt latch, so we had some cold coming in. A few of the shades were broken. I thought the beds were going to be to soft, but they were very comfortable. For the space the house was priced right, for the overall look of the house it is over priced.
Get away
Susan M., Mystic, IA US
Had a great stay. Can not wait to come back.
College Friends Reunion
Timothy T., Lombard, IL United States
Great accommodations for a quick getaway to see friends and spouses from college for a fun filled long weekend. 46 years later and it seemed like we were still hanging out in our apartment in Champaign!
Beautiful and Spacious
Sarah S., Cary, IL United States
The house was extremely spacious for our group of 10! The hot tub and backyard view were amazing. Great place and will definitely stay here again!
2023 trip
Recent Guest, Winfield, IL United States
House was very clean.
Master bath had a running toilet that needed a new tank assembly.
Wonderful Home
Recent Guest, Lemont, IL United States
Cinnabar was a lovely home for our stay in Galena. It is very large and the amount of bedrooms and baths fit our group perfectly. We all enjoyed the hot tub and especially the pool table. The kitchen was well equipped and roomy for more than one person to prepare food at the same time. The weather was extremely hot when we were there and so we did not make use of the lovely enclosed porch but that would be great for a cooler day and the deck that surrounds it is a great size. This is the best home we have rented in the Galena territory. The only thing that would have been nice is if the room with the two single beds had a door.

Tracey H., Iowa Falls, IA US
We had a wonderful time during our stay here. The house was very spacious and roomy. Great area for our group to gather but also space to have some quiet time off by yourself, if wanted. House and property were very clean and kitchens supplies were more than adequate for meal prep. Great communication with property managers. Beautiful location and overall great stay. Our group is looking forward to our next start in the near future.
Perfect setup
Margaret G., CANON CITY, CO US
This house was a perfect setup for a sibling weekend. Each bedroom had it's own bathroom and the beds were very comfortable. Lots of space. It would be nice if the metal supports for the spa lid were fixed and functional and suggest replacing the pool table pockets. The balls get stuck in the return tracks but that didn't stop us from playing. Everyone enjoyed the accommodations.
Great Property for Large Group
Joan S., SCOTTSDALE, AZ United States
We had a wonderful time and really like this property. There is plenty of room and a great location.
4 days at 7 Cinnabar
Kimberlee C., Peoria, IL United States
It was a wonderful trip! My friends and I have nothing but great things to say. The house is large, comfortable and very clean.
stay at eagle ridge
Richard S., Milan, IL US
very nice place and location.
Manager's Response
Thanks Richard! Just a quick note to future travelers - we are not part of Eagle Ridge Resort. They are located in the same area and we share some of the great Galena Territory amenities but our homes are privately owned and managed by A Great Escape! Vacation Homes of Galena.
Great House, Great Location
Dan B., Ankeny, IA Unknown
This is the 3rd time that we have rented this house for a group of friends getting together over a long weekend. 4 couples, so this house is perfect for us with 4 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths. The hot tub in the back is an added bonus and was also used by us. This house is large, well-furnished and in a perfect location for your trip to Galena. We will definitely stay here again.
Two Family Vacay in Galena
Emily Z., Evanston, IL United States
We had a great time as two families staying together for a long weekend. The rooms are very large, and there's plenty of space both inside and out. Each family had two bathrooms for themselves. There's also an almost bedroom on the first floor with two twin beds, that just needs a bedroom door and it would have been a great extra space. We enjoyed grilling and having dinner out on the deck. The hot tub was comfortable (although needs to be propped up on one side), and we enjoyed making s'mores in the fireplace (lots of firewood was provided). It would have been nice to have a firepit outside as there's plenty of space, but the fireplace was a good stand-in. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment (although some cookie sheets would have been nice) - make sure to bring condiments, oil, etc...Having access to the Owner's Club was perfect - as well as all the trails. Thanks for a great stay. FYI, we had a very hard time connecting to the internet at the house and cell service throughout Galena.

Family Getaway

Three generations of our family together for a few days was what the doctor ordered. We had a great time, like we did the previous 3. Terrific place with something to do for all ages in a beautiful setting that makes it hard to remember that you are still in Illinois.

Great place to stay

It was in a nice location to travel to the different museums and the downtown shops. Restaurants were terrific. We did go during a time when many were closed for Sunday and Monday so check your schedule and shops times before going.
Great Getaway
Recent Guest, Irvine, NA US
A great location for a few days of getting away. Plenty of private space as well as common space in this home. I would recommend staying here and enjoying the area.
vacation in Galena
Jody N., Geneseo , IL US
We stayed with 3 other couples. There was plenty of room, and we enjoyed the pool table and the living areas. The property was clean and nice. The fixtures were dated, with minor non functional maintenance items, (pool table balls didn't return, some bathroom exhaust fans didn't work etc.) But there were much more expensive properties, and this was clean and very enjoyable.
Great House, Great Stay
Dan B., Ankeny, IA US
This was our 2nd stay at the Cinnabar home. It’s exactly as shown. Plenty of space for four couples, clean, well stocked. Perfect for a long weekend with friends. Great location so the guys could golf, and the ladies could go in town for shopping. Would definitely stay here again.
Relaxing Girls Getaway
Recent Guest, Irvine, NA US
My girlfriends and I had a great time getting away and having some relaxation time. It was much needed and definitely glad we decided to still do some type of girls trip, given the current environment. We thought the house was more than enough to accommodate the six of us that ended up coming on the trip. From bed arrangements to lounge areas, it was enough for us. We enjoyed the quietness of the location and loved the picturesque areas that we randomly came upon as we got within the final 10 miles or so of the home. During our visit, we had to call about an issue with a towel rack in one of the bathrooms, as well as the hot tub and our contact was very helpful and polite. Same for our contact the day of our departure, when we called to ask for a late checkout. We didn't get a chance to use any of the off property amenities, but the offerings we thought were good.
There are some things that stood out to us on while visiting your home. Even though the place was spotless as far as cleaning, when first arriving it had a smell. Not a bad smell but very stuffy, old smell, as if it needed to be aired out. Another, is that we ate breakfast on the deck one morning and would have been even better if the table had an umbrella to shade the sun. For the hot tub area, we used it at night and there were no type of outdoor lights for where it is located. Also, after finding out how to use the jet function on the tub, we still felt that the jets weren't powerful enough. Last, we were a bit put off by the fact that two rooms in the home were locked. For women traveling alone, it was a bit of a fear factor.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and definitely stated that we would recommend this place to other family and friends.
Manager's Response
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Cinnabar. The area truly is breathtaking and just the right amount of calm during these crazy days.
Please note that many owners keep their personal belongings in their homes therefore there may be a garage or door that is locked and not availble for your use. The musty smell is most likely the woodburning fireplace. The homes with these do have a faint smoky smell and the fireplaces are used year round so please make note of that when booking! Lastly we cannot have additional outdoor lighting at many of our homes because the Galena area is under what is called the Dark Sky Initiative. This allows everyone to enjoy the starry skies at night.
The home features a brand new hot tub as of August 2021!

I can only comment on the home, as owners club and facilities were not open during our stay.
The house was very well equipped and comfortable. quiet location and only minutes away from everything.
Lots of room to spread out and relax. Home was clean and there were no surprises. shout out to Linda from VHOG she made our check in easy and our extension painless.

Spacious Retreat
Recent Guest, GRANVILLE, OH US
Our extended family gathered here for our Thanksgiving weekend. We were delighted to find the home clean, spacious and inviting! Since we were fixing turkey and all the trimmings, we were also relieved to find the kitchen well stocked and with TWO coffee makers!!! We had received a phone call informing us that the Hot Tub needed repairs but we were adequately compensated for that disappointment.

Family Reunion Vacation
Recent Guest, Ames, IA US
We chose Galena, Illinois for a family reunion because the location was convenient for family members to travel to. The property was easy to get to and was very clean and well kept. The house had everything we needed and was in great shape. We had some questions prior to our arrival and we contacted the rental staff and our questions were answered immediately in a courteous and professional manner. We had a great vacation and could not have been happier with our choice.

Me and 6 girlfriends had a great time in this house. It was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Close to Galena. The DeSota House had great food at a reasonable price. Durty Gurt’s was a fun eatery. Would recommend this house. The manager was very helpful.

Home was perfect for 4 siblings and their spouses to enjoy an annual reunion. Each couple had their own bedrooms and bathrooms. Home is very comfortable with pool table, games, puzzles, and hot tub. Could have just relaxed at the home, but added bonus was trips into Galena for sightseeing.

Recent Guest, WHEATON, IL US
Nice large home but in need of serious updating. Also large section over garages was all locked up.... spooky. We rented the house not just a section of the house.
Manager's Response
This is a nice large home and super popular. This is an extremely large and affordable home for your getaway in a great location. The owner does have a room and the garage locked up to keep personal belongings in, we think most guests understand this. Our listing is very clear about the layout of the home and also that the garage is not available. You can always call us to ask questions too before or during your stay!

We had 4 couples come over. It was a good time. The ladies went into town the gents went golfing. Weather was very good. The house we had was perfect for what we needed. Everyone had their own bedroom and baths. So it all worked out for us.The only thing that was wrong was the upstair bathroom toilet paper holder was broke. No big deal. Then we had a struggle to get t.v. to work. That was just probably our age and we do not have any idea how to run 2 remotes.

Our stay (7/2018)
Recent Guest, Galena, IL United States
Overall a decent rental property. A bit of an interesting lay out, but each of the four bedrooms had it's own bathroom (even though one only had a HUGE bathtub and no shower). We were a bit disappointed that the group before us had lost a proximity key for the amenities and that it was not replaced. (We were a large enough group that we needed all 10 keys.) It met our needs though and we have rebooked for next year already.

This is our third year renting this house and each experience has been hassle free. The home is always clean and perfectly suits our needs. The drive to all of the golf courses is quick and easy. Though we never take advantage of any of the "resort benefits" offered to us, it is nice to have that option if needed.

We rented this house 2 years ago for the weekend and had a wonderful time then, so it was easy to choose this house for another weekend! We had a blast!
Terrific

First,but not the last time we stay at a vacation home of Galena!
Recent Guest, United States
The house is located just 20 minutes from Main St. which was fantastic. Very. Lean, had everything we needed for a long weekend away. We had no problems with any appliances, tubs, washers, etc. I would definitely recommend Vacation Homes of Galena to friends and family.
Ski Trip December 2017
Rafal N., United States
Came here for a ski trip with a group of friends in December.. We really enjoyed the property and all the amenities. The property manager,Abby, was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond all expectations. Would definitely recommend the house and stay here again.
Awesome house! Plenty of space!
Emily P., Madison, WI United States
We had a couples weekend with 4 couples and we had an absolute blast! It was great that we each got our own room and bathroom and there was a ton of space for the games we played, as well as space for those of us preparing food in the kitchen. Plenty to keep us busy with the pool table and hot tub and short drive into town. The home was clean and had more amenities than we thought it would. We had a great stay and would absolutely come back!
Galena Wonderful - The home a little disappointing
BARBARA P., MADISON, WI United States
Some items not as advertised. Hot tub jets did not work and no lighting near hot tub making it unsafe in the dark. Basement pullout was titled as "new and queen size". Both items were false. It was the worst full pull-out, broken and not usable. Advertised two showers in lower level for the two bedrooms and pull-out but there is only one shower in the lower level. Many broken cabinets. The house needs a lot of work.Can't use even one garage which you would never know form the ads. Value of home more like $500 for two nights but we paid $770. It was basically fine but not as advertised so we were disappointed. It was very clean though!

Great Getaway With Friends
Recent Guest, Crete, IL United States
The home was perfect for four couples. Enjoyed the spacious living area. All the bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. We enjoyed the fireplace and pool table. We did not use the hot tub. The view was pretty and we were happy with the location. We spent time in downtown Galena and Dubuque.
Positive Review
Jonelle K., Clinton, IA United States
Our stay in our rental in Galena Territory was great. The weather, golfing, wedding and all the amenities were great. I'd recommend the house, etc to all. PS all friends & family that stayed loved the area and had no idea a place like that existed.
Great Accommodations
Recent Guest, Watertown, SD United States
We were a group of 5 senior couples from a 5 state area that met for a short 2 day get-together and the house was perfect. Wonderful pickleball courts that we loved. Galena was a delightful town to host our gathering for a couple of days
House in the hills.
Wayne S., Olivia, MN United States
The house and location were more than we expected. It was a great house, everything worked great and was very clean. It had everything we needed. The Galena area was a great place to visit and we are going to go back soon. We were on motorcycles and went a different direction everyday. Would stay there again. It was easy to rent through Home Away, it was our fourth time using them.

Mother Daughter weekend

The house was great for our weekend. There were plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. It was a rainy cold weekend but we were comfortable inside. There was a pool table and hot tub but could not really use the hot tub due to the weather.
Fantastic Group Location
Roger S., Chicago, IL United States
The house was perfect for our group! So much space and such nice facilities with the hot tub, beautiful fireplace, large kitchen, and many bathrooms and bedrooms. The views were beautiful and the house was easily accessed from either side of entering the Territories. Close to chestnut mountain as well!
Fantastic way to escape and decompress!
Simone R., Evanston, IL United States
We rented the Cinnabar house with the other couples... fabulous setup because unlike a lot of homes we saw they bedrooms all have written or king size beds (instead of twin or bunk). Big kitchen, well appointed and every couple had their own bathroom too either on suite or very close. Made use of the grill and fireplace too! It was very clean and well kept. Highly recommended beautiful grounds.
Cinnabar For New Years
Recent Guest, Glenview, IL United States
Overall the experience was great. The house was clean and organized. The check-in process was simple. The only issue was the hot tub. It worked perfectly, but it was uneven which made water spill out when 4 adults were in the hot tub.
Girls weekend
Recent Guest, DeWitt, IA United States
Great location! Plenty of room for all of us girls. Weather was perfect for first weekend in November so enjoyed breakfast on the deck, house was clean, price was right. I would highly recommend this property.
Great Wedding Weekend
Recent Guest, Yale, IA United States
First time staying in Galena and this beautiful home fit the bill. Our daughters wedding and lots of family gathered at the house to enjoy our time together. Excellent property, clean, well kept and nicely located.
One thing to consider is the house is pretty dark out the front garage side. No entry lighting just foyer light inside house. Thank you for a weekend full of great memories!!
Lovely Vacation
Recent Guest, Des Plaines, IL United States
Three generations stayed here and it was just great. There were 3 levels which made it ideal because some people liked to sleep in while others went to bed early. The only negative (not really a negative) was the last one to go to bed had to turn off the great many light switches.
Wonderful staff a Cinnabar
Peter E., Pocahontas, IA United States
Our family loved the house. It was exactly what we wanted- adequate space and quiet for the little ones to sleep and reasonably close to the club. The house was clean. We enjoyed the club, the pool, the hot tub, the pool table. We grilled every night and enjoyed the deck and picnic table. I have already recommended Galena Territories to others for a great vacation.

Cinabar House
Guy C., Belvidere, IL United States
Our stay was great. The house was clean and had everything we needed...... except a coffee pot that didn't take 1.5 hours to brew a pot. That seriously is the only complaint. I give it 5 stars all the way around!

Family Easter getaway
Recent Guest, carlinville, IL United States
I chose Galena as a central point for family coming from north and south of there. The home we chose was beautiful, a perfect location, and met every need of our getaway! Whether we utilized the amenities of the territory or the home, we truly had a fantastic stay!
Cinnabar 7
Recent Guest, Kalona, IA United States
We enjoyed our stay in Galena. The house was comfortable, clean and had the amenities we were looking for (4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, stocked kitchen, pool table, hot tub). The lay out is a bit odd. There is a very large central staircase that blocks easy movement through the house. Overhead lighting was fine and worked well. Table lamps did not work due to a variety of issues. Management staff was very easy to contact and work with.
You won't regret staying here!
Jean N., Westby, WI United States
What a lovely weekend the eight of us had! The Cinnabar house is located outside of Galena, but not so far out that we felt it was an inconvenience to us. Just a ten minute drive and we were at great shopping and restaurants. We found, though, that we didn't want to leave our home" We brought breakfast casseroles from home and popped them into the oven of our well appointed kitchen each morning. Then we built a roaring fire with the provided firewood and curled up on the comfy living room furniture. The hot tub out back was one of the reasons we rented the house and we were not disappointed. While we sat in it in the evening, a small herd of deer meandered through the yard and disappeared into the woods. The next night we listened to coyotes calling to each other. The beds were all very comfortable and each bedroom has its own bath which was nice for us. The best part of the weekend was the price. US four couples go to Galena every February and we've always rented 4 rooms of a B and B. We've always had fun but it cost about $400+ per couple for the weekend. The Cinnabar was half the price and we didn't have to worry about disturbing anyone . The Cinnabar house and Galena Vacation Rentals by A Great Escape (they are the owner of this property ) get my whole hearted approval and gratitude.
Halloween Getaway!!
Recent Guest, stormlake, IA United States
Perfect.....if going to Galena with a group of friends or family this is the way to do it. The home was lovely and everything we needed we had other than food and drinks. So nice and just a relaxing atmosphere!! We will be back!
The home was spacious and great for our needs.
Recent Guest, Lincoln, NE United States
The location was serene and beautiful. Close enough to town for convenience, yet far enough to have solitude.
One thing the owners could do is update the kitchen faucet. It was difficult to operate.

This home was great for our group! It was very clean! We had an issue with one of the toilets, we called, maintenance came out and took care of the problem promptly.
A wonderful stay with our grown children, spouses & grandchildren
Recent Guest, Des Moines, IA United States
We had such a lovely time on our extended weekend at the Cinnabar 7 home. We had plenty of bedrooms/bathrooms to accomodate everyone. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking pans & utinsels. It was wonderful to hang out with our whole family under one roof. The night skies were spectacular. It was great to be able to use the hot tub, the pool table and to use the pool/gameroom at the centrally located clubhouse on the resort. We had an "A+" time and will definitely do this again.
Nice Place & Roomy
Bret A., Wisconsin Dells, WI United States

Summer stay at 7 Cinnabar
Kevin T., Peoria, IL United States
Home was as advertised in terms of space and appointments. Owner's Club facilities to which you have privileges through the rental were perfect for our family including infants. Kitchen was amply appointed with plenty of pots and cooking utensils. Bring your own prep knives as those provided were almost unusably dull.
Great spot!
Laura S., Elmwood Park, Illinois United States
Our family stayed in this beautiful house for a week in 2014 and came back for a week in 2015. There is plenty of room for all 10 of us to spread out and enjoy ourselves. The house was clean and very conveniently located to the Owner's Club. We used the pool and game room every day. We plan to return in the future.

Cinnabar-7 Review
Gina S., Hiawatha, IA United States
The house was very sufficient for our stay. Galena Territory is beautiful. We liked how the bedrooms and bathrooms were laid out with separate baths for the different couples. We enjoyed the hot tub & the pool table! We were also impressed with how the management replaced the grill without hesitation and how well the kitchen was supplied with cutting boards, crock pot, blender items that make people feel at home.
If we owned the home and were interested in making improvements we would:
Add a step from the walk to the front door stoop. As it is now, the step is dangerously high;
Add hardware (knobs/pulls) to the kitchen cabinets & drawers;
Supply a set of sharp kitchen knives and 2-3 sets of tongs;
Replace the leaking coffee maker.
All in all, we truly enjoyed our stay at this property and would recommend it to others.
Great home

We stayed at 7 Cinnabar Lane and had a nice weekend in May. The house was clean and nice, as advertised, but the grill wasn't working properly. Other than that, we had a very nice time!
Roomy yet cozy!

We took the kids on a quick vacation over spring break. This home was a wonderful place to relax after a day of swimming and walking around downtown. Thanks!
Amazing Girl's Weekend!
Lannia S., Waterloo, WI United States
Our girl's weekend involved nine ladies with varying tastes and interests coming together from different points around Iowa and Wisconsin. Cinnabar made the experience wonderful.
The hot tub, fireplace, and jacuzzi tubs were all thoroughly enjoyed. Although it was away from town a bit, the house was easy to find and incredibly clean. We are already talking about coming back in the fall to enjoy the autumn colors.
I highly recommend staying here the next time you jaunt to Galena.

Fun Getaway
Pat S., Schaumburg, IL United States
This was a great house and a perfect space for the 3 families. We had a wonderful time. The only thing that we had a problem with was the lower level was very cold. We tried to start the fire but it wouldn't start. I called and was then told that they had to shut the gas off unexpectedly. There was no way to heat up the lower level so we didn't spend time down there besides when we were sleeping. We would definitely like to come back though and stay in this house during the summer.

Clean spacious house. Plenty of room for our six adults and four children. The access to the Owners Club was great.
Perfect house for 2 families to get together!
Mary Kay S., Utica, IL United States
Very nice house rental. Met all of our needs. Made great memories with friends we only see once a year. Furniture was mismatched and deco in house could have been better. Couldn't get light to work on sun porch. Didn't have much firewood to work with. Felt very safe and warm and cozy. Teens enjoyed the pool table and hot tub. Couch that makes into a bed in the basement has seen its better days. Well stocked kitchen was important as we cooked all meals there.
This is the third time we have stayed at this house. Perfect for a friends getaway due to 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The Owner's Club is an awesome amenity, too!
