Great weekend getaway
Recent Guest, Grayslake, IL US
Beautiful home with a beautiful view. Great backyard with a nice fire pit for the whole family to hang out around. Highly recommend this house!
Girls Weeked Getaway
Michele B., Tinley Park, IL United States
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.
Girl's getaway great success!
Betty A., Chicago, IL US
House met our needs well. Could use a tea kettle though, and the deck needs some love, as do the patio doors which were hard to open. Wifi spotty but you are in the country. Laura and Todd were a great, responsive help with a few glitches. Could not figure out karaoke machine, or perhaps it was not working, but we had so much else to do not a biggie. You need longer than our 3 nights to truly enjoy all this house has to offer.
Guys Golf Resort
Jeffery H. H., Highland, IL US
Have a home down the road so we had 6 and 6 at 446 Territory. Guys loved it. Room for 12 or more. 6 bathrooms all were great. Galena Territory has everything for golf vacation. This house was like a resort experience. Highly recommend.
Nice location and home fit the family
Recent Guest, lake in the hills, IL United States
Home is in a great location near the owners club. The owners added nice touches including a new grill, s’mores kit, fully stocked coffee station and well stocked kitchen with pots, pans and utensils. The home is large and spacious with multiple places for people to hang out and lots of games for kids and adults. The outside of the home needs some work including painting and new deck. The towels had a musty dirty wet smell even though they were clean. Overall nice home and our family had a great time
business outing
mike W., Brewster, OH United States
We rented this home for a business trip for 5 people. The house was set up perfectly for us. the layout of the bedrooms was good and the kitchen was well equipped. We cooked up a feast one night for our MGMT staff from the area. The location was convenient to Galena where we grabbed some pizza.
The house was clean and well maintained, although the deck could use a little extra maintenance.
Keeping this place on our list!
Recent Guest, Bettendorf, IA United States
Our family of 13 stayed in 446 Territory Dr. We had all different age group, we came in on Friday afternoon until Monday morning. We use everything the house provided. The grill worked great they even had an extra gas for it. The Hot Tub was wonderful, warm , big, easy to use.. We had a fire in the fire pit two of the nights wood was supplied by the house. What we all enjoyed was all the different area people could just hang out in. There is a screened porch, a library, a sitting room, a large deep deck on the backside that went from one end of the house to the other with many entrances, a game room down stairs kept everyone happy, and a huge open main family-kitchen area with plenty of seating area.
The place was clean well supplied, a lot of TV in a lot of rooms, kitchen had about everything one needed, 2 refrigerators, 1 in the garage and a large one in the kitchen. We had room for4 cars parking in our driveway.
Our internet stopped on Saturday, someone answered the phone when I called about the problem, and someone was out to fix it within an hour. I told them about the small coffee pot was not working and he brought a new one with him when he work on the internet.
We went to the Club both days WOW!
Drove into Galena, I would recommend going early or go on a weekday it’s busy on the weekend.
It was a great find and planning to return soon!

Galena Girls Weekend!
Debbie S., Des Moines, IA United States
We had a great time on our weekend in Galena. We have stayed many times at 446 Territory-Grand Galena Retreat and all of the new improvements and changes are wonderful. We had good weather and were able to sit outside on the deck and enjoy it.
Guys Getaway
Ryan G., Cedar Rapids , IA United States
Absolutely loved this property! We had a large group but there was plenty of space to spread out and be comfortable. The yard is great and we loved the fire pit! Would highly recommend this place for a big family or any size group.
Amazing house for a girls getaway

446 Territory Drive, Galena, Illinois
Robert T., Shipman, IL United States
We enjoyed our short stay. A few minor issues: 3 coffee pots would not work; tv in the master bedroom and game room did not work; outdoor grill was not clean so did not use. Major issue: many nails poking through the deck. Not safe to walk on with bare feet. My daughter stepped on one and caused pain to her heal.
Wonderful Place for our Family Get Together
Russ and Cheryl H., Dubuque, IA US
We LOVED the new fire pit!!! This house was perfect for our larger family. We found it to be very clean and had plenty of places to spread out and enjoy games. The quiet surroundings were perfect and there was plenty of room for our grandkids to run and play. They were excited to see some turkeys! The hot tub was obviously well taken care of. The kids loved swimming at the Club
pools! We were pleased with the WiFi. Our family will definitely consider this place to stay at on future visits to Galena.
Bachelorette Weekend Success!
Justine E., Hoffman Estates, IL US
They couldn’t have made it any easier! What a perfect weekend. The house was clean, spacious, and so cute! Plenty of bathrooms for 14 girls to get ready which is hard to come by. Hot tub was the cherry on top. Would definitely recommend this place and this host!

Huge Home, Lovely Setting
Nancy A., Hazelhurst, WI US
This home was ideal for a women’s retreat/Christmas shopping gathering in Galena. There were 6 bedrooms, one of which had 2 queen beds. Each bedroom had its own bath. We cooked together (plenty of plates, utensils, enjoyed the wood fireplace. Was immaculately cleaned. Lovely setting close enough to town. Will go again!
Family gathering at Tranquil Territory
Recent Guest, Pewaukee, WI United States
A great space! Very comfortable. It could use a little upkeep--a good deep cleaning and a couple small repairs. Kitchen was well stocked. I had seen reviews saying it needed coffee mugs but now there are plenty. Parking was a concern initially but we parked 8 vehicles in tight. We weren't going in and out so it was fine. Management was helpful. They connected us to Clubhouse so we could have extra parking if necessary.
Great house for families
Recent Guest, Warrenville, IL US
Everything was as described and in working order. We had 5 children (under age 8) in our group and it was a good fit. The house had a lived in feel but everything worked. We cooked pretty much every meal, and all the supplies we needed were there. Occasionally it seemed like some kitchen items needed to be cleaned before using. If you shower in the downstairs bathroom, make sure to close the door and use the fan as to not set off the smoke alarm :)
Annual Family Get Together
Pamela M., Burlington, WI US
Overall it was a good experience. The size of the home and the bedrooms and bathrooms was a perfect fit for our extended family coming together from Iowa and Wisconsin. The layout of the house was nice giving each family their own space and the full bathroom with each bedroom was wonderful. The yard is beautiful and our family enjoyed playing outside and enjoying the firepit. The screened in porch was lovely and become one of our favorite spots. However there were a few things that were disappointing. First off, the key box did not work so we never were able to get the keys but the code opened and locked the door so we managed. The kitchen was very small and the refrigerator was small for a home that size. There was a counter electrical outlet that was lose and frankly we were concerned to use it. Neither coffee maker worked well. One took over one hour to brew a pot of coffee and the other wasn't much better. The carpets throughout the house were dirty, the master bedroom had a huge stained area and the stairway carpets were stained. Again, a disappointment for such a beautiful home. There were only 6 passes to the galena territory for a house accommodating and advertised to sleep 14. It was not expensive to purchase more passes but seems like there should have been the total number for the people I registered to be staying. The facility with the pools was very nice but it was inconvenient to have to pack up the family to go to the pool. Definitely a drawback. Only two garbage cans were not enough for even a weekend stay.
Great place!
Amber S., Elgin, IL Unknown
We had our family of 14 stay here with kids ranging from 1-19. There was plenty of space and it was perfect to entertain people of all ages. The rooms were very spacious and there was enough square footage that we never felt we were on top of each other! The only negatives were that the main light over the dining room table didn’t work which made it hard to have a game night once the sun went down, and there were only 6 passes to the clubhouse and we had to pay $5 per day per person over that number to utilize the amenities there. But given those being the only 2 negatives, we had an overall wonderful stay!
Wonderful!
Lex
Our stay was wonderful! It slept everyone comfortable! Kitchen had everything we needed. More than enough space for us. Thanks!
Another great weekend for the Galena Girls!
Debbie S., Des Moines, IA United States
We all had a great time on our weekend away. We had ladies from Des Moines, Chicago, Omaha and South Bend. This is our 22nd year coming to Galena and 5 time in this house. We love it!
Couple weekend
Amra O., Cedar Falls, IA US
There was 12 of us and we had great time. There is plenty space and the house is beautiful. We would like to see more large coffee mugs and updated pots . I would definitely recomend this property!
Great family reunion!
Lisa F., Clarksville, IA US
We had a great time! Five stars all around! There were 11 of us last week (February), and we had plenty of space! The house is beautiful, clean, and spacious with plenty of towels, dishes, pots/pans, and even some books and games. Each bedroom has its own bathroom, which was great, and there is plenty of seating (large DR table for meals or games, kitchen table, table in the library, couches, chairs, outdoor furniture, etc.). Sound carries in the open concept space, but outside of that, the space worked well for our family reunion.
A few things need attention:
* The electric stove takes a LONG time to heat up, so meals took longer than expected.
* The shower in the main bathroom works great! But the handle is broken and has a sharp edge.
A few small suggestions:
*The HVAC is tricky: my daughter was familiar with the thermostat, but otherwise we would have struggled...also, hard to get consistent temperature. *The library was very warm, while the open concept LR/DR/K area was harder to keep warm. Maybe we just needed some guidance.
*We would have loved more large coffee mugs...I think there were only four, though there were many teacups.
*We didn’t know to bring our own shampoo and bath soap – perhaps this is a standard that we just weren’t aware of, but as hotels provide those things, we thought this rental would, as well. Just a suggestion to add that to the description. (There was plenty of hand soap, but it was watery.)
Great fun weekend

Recent Guest, EAST DUBUQUE, IL United States
There was 10 of us staying here and loved that each room had a private bathroom. The Livingroom furniture really needed updated but that is the only thing we were dissatisfied with.
Manager's Response
thanks for the great review! as stated in previous responses the living room furniture was ordered months ago, due to supply chain issues in the furniture industry the delivery date has been pushed out. so glad that was the only complaint!
Great Place to Stay!
Hillary H., Altoona, IA United States
Our experience staying at Tranquil Territory was fantastic! Everything went seamlessly and the house was the perfect size for my sister-in-laws bachelorette party with 12 people. I would definitely recommend staying here! The only struggle is that it is hard to find transportation to downtown Galena if you are not able to drive. If you are good to drive yourself it is very close!
Girls' Get Away

Six bedrooms/bathrooms for six gals was perfect. Large house with plenty of room to spread out. Furniture needs updating. Was told furniture was ordered 5 months ago. Management made the check in/out process easy.

It is a great house! So close to everything! Yes the furniture is caught in a back order, this is just the living room furniture so hopefully the couches will be delivered very soon!

Our party of 13 fit comfortably in this home. There was more than enough beds and the size of the house was perfect. The home was very clean, spacious, vaulted ceilings with ton of windows and natural light. Wood burning fire place in mail living room and fireplace in basement. We enjoyed the pool table and hot tub.
The grocery stores are nearby. We also enjoyed the casino and steak house which was about a 25 minute drive from the property. The property manager was very helpful and responsive.

My husband and I had a group of 14 adults and the accommodations was perfect. Our three day stay featured plenty of card playing and out door Bar-B-Q. We also used the hot tub, and on-site pool table. All ammetities in the home worked perfectly fine. Two couples wished they had a television in their rooms, but offside of that, we will definitely be returning again. Thanks Great Escape!!!

Recent Guest, South Holland, IL United States
The house was clean and very organized fully equipt. We had a wonderful time the layout was open and the whole family was able to move around without getting in each other‘s way. If there was any downside I would say the Wi-Fi kept going off and on however we did contact management and they were eager to assist us so overall it was a great Christmas vacation
Great place to stay!
Lynne E., United States
We had our family Christmas in Galnea at this house and the location and set up were perfect for the 9 of us. Every couple and every child had their own bedroom and bathroom. The house was very clean and we enjoyed using the hot tub. The owners clubhouse was fun for the kids and male adults-swimming and shooting hoops. Location is great. The only complaint was that the internet didn’t work and cell coverage is difficult to get in the territories in general.
Manager's Response
Thanks for the great review. We can't do much about the cell coverage in the area (US Cellular and Verizon seem to work best) that is out of our hands for sure but we can guarantee a clean home with great amenities in a great area. The internet issue has been resolved and no longer a problem. Be sure to call us while you are there and we will be glad to troubleshoot any issues with you. We hope to see you at our Territory home soon!

We had a great two days for our family Christmas. Weather was awesome. Somewhat disappointed that the house wasn't handicap accessible. I guess we either read or assumed that it was. We took my daughters ramps along so we could get her in the house through the garage. She got by, she and her husband used the main floor bedroom. Inside doors aren't wide enough for a wheelchair. We will probably look next year for a house that is more assessable.
Manager's Response
If you have any special requests or need handicap accessible please ask us prior to booking. We want to make sure you stay in the very best house for your traveling group. Thank you for the great review!
November celebrations

Three generations celebrated a 70th birthday and Thanksgiving in this wonderful house. There was plenty of room for everyone, and we always had multiple activities going on all at once. The home was well designed, clean, comfortable, and private. Our family had a superb time.
Very good time

2018 golf trip
Recent Guest, marion, IA United States
We loved the house & location. It was clean, a little worn but clean. One bathroom downstairs kept plugging & needed plunger. There were a few bugs but nothing out of control. We couldn’t get cable on the tv in the game room/library which was annoying. Otherwise it is a House we would go back to. Fit our needs perfectly. Thank you.
Manager's Response
So glad Debbie and her group loved the house and the location. We will be working on the issues she mentioned and as always if you are in a home and experience any problems just give us a call and we'll be right there to assist. Thanks!

we enjoyed our rental and the location. Our only concern was the Jacuzzi tub which was in very poor shape an air vent nozzles were very black which made taking a shower there not appealing.
Manager's Response
Karen so glad you enjoyed our Territory home and it's great centralized location. We'll talk to housekeeping about the jacuzzi tub in in the lower level bathroom that you referenced in other correspondence. We do get busy but can do better - Sorry about that! For future guests if this were to happen during your stay please don't hesitate to call us and we'll send someone right over. Thanks again!

Krista E., Trevor, WI United States
The house we stayed in was huge! It had 7 bathrooms and 7 bedrooms. It fit all of us girls easily. Plenty of space. It was only 15 minutes from Main St. in Galena which isnt bad. Not many Ubers or lifts available so I drove into town but easily found free parking every time. The house was clean but very outdated. Some things were broken when we got there like the sliding door handle. I texted for early check in and they let us come at 1 opposed to 4 which was really nice. I thought the amount of things we had to do at the house before leaving was a little exessive. Overall it was the perfect place for a group of girls to get away!
Manager's Response
The home is only a 6 bedroom 6 bath but so glad it felt bigger - lol. It sleeps 14 and has extra spaces to enjoy so definitely spacious. This is guest is correct, there is no Uber or Lyft in all of Galena. However there are multiple cab companies in if you don't feel like driving yourself, just call us or check our FAQs on our website for their info. We aren't quite sure what was broken but will definitely look at the handle, didn't hear about anything else during this stay. We do try to accommodate early check ins and late check outs whenever possible but can't always guarantee it. Also we do have a departure list in the home. We ask that you turn the heat/ac up or down, load the dishwasher and run it, place any furniture back to original places but definitely wouldn't consider it excessive. If you have any questions about these items prior to booking or staying with us please don't hesitate to check with us, we'd gladly share.
Best weekend getaway!!

Delightful vacation
Stephanie K., Lake Zurich, IL United States
What a LARGE house! We stayed for the weekend and had plenty of room for all of us. The hot tub was amazing and we loved the fact that each bedroom had its own bathroom. We arrived on a Friday and had lunch downtown and then walked around the the house is a perfect distance away (not too far)...we stayed at the house all weekend and watched movies and sat in the hot FUN! All the girls can't wait to come back.
Yes, the house is "dated"...but for what we needed (space and a hot tub) it was perfect!! I would highly recommend this property to anyone.
I always bring kitchen stuff as you never know what they are going to have and surprisingly the kitchen is well stocked. They had pyrex dishes, cutting board, muffin tins, knives, pizza cutter, wine opener and plenty of pitchers.
I also was afraid we would run out of paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, etc)...but they stocked 5 stars for that.
Manager's Response
Thanks for the 5 stars! UPDATE - Main level floors have been sanded and restained and main level rooms have been painted. Exciting news for this house too is that the wood floors are being refinished this week (Dec 12th) and some painting will begin soon after that. We are so glad you enjoyed the space this large home has to offer, hot tub, kitchen and all!
Very Comfortable Stay

My family enjoyed the pleasant comfortable stay at the territory rd vacation rental home. Many fine amenities such as a stack of firewood, paper towels, tissues, linens+extra blankets, dishes, glassware pans etc. Location was close to town, riding stable, lodge also. Enjoyed the warm cozy feeling of the home!

House was ok, not like the others I have rented from the same company. Some of the beds they said were queens are not queens. Other then needs updating house was ok
Great place!
Recent Guest, St Charles, Illinois United States
The property is amazing. It is gracious enough to feel special but comfortable enough to relax and enjoy. We had 12 family members there and everyone had room to enjoy, rest or play. It is close enough to Galena to enjoy the city if you wish and far enough in gorgeous countryside to avoid the traffic and crowds all together. It rained our entire weekend and no one cared. We sat by the fire, some went to the club to play basketball and everyone of had a great time. We will most likely go back next year. Management was most accommodating and pleasant to work with.
Very spacious home with beautiful views.
Patricia C., Barrington, IL United States
This property worked very well for our group of 8 women. There was plenty of beds, baths and seating. The property over all is in need of some maintenance and upgrades. The leather couches are worn, the wood floors deeply scratched and the walls are in need of paint. But, if you can overlook the cosmetic flaws, it is a great property for large groups.
Family Vacation!!
Recent Guest, Monticello, IA United States
We really enjoyed staying at this home! Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space when they wanted to be alone and yet a large room and deck for gathering together. Not sure there were 4 King beds which is what we wanted for at least 4 of the bedrooms. I would say 2 King beds and 3 queen beds and 2 full size beds. It is close to the Owner's Club with a large baby pool. The grandkids LOVED it!! Thank you so much for allowing us to stay!! I would recommend it for any large family gathering!!

Multi generational trip
Recent Guest, Mounds View, MN United States
We rented this property for a multifamily anniversary party. The home was spacious and had plenty of things to keep parents, grandparents, kids and teens occupied. While the home and furniture was a bit dated,everything was in working order. The lived in feel also made it feel more homey and less like a magazine spread. Abby was a delight to work with as well. The only two things I would have improved the stay were: labels on the light switches in the common areas as it was had to know / remember what switches turned on what lights; directions / instructions for using the Roku (not having one at home we never really did get some of the tvs to work (although not entirely a bad thing either).

The house was spacious and clean- good space to gather! Great location and yard. We had fun with the owners club pools and gym. Galena Reservations staff responded promptly to any questions. The house is alittle worn-example: sliding doors won't open easily-some not at all.
Our family enjoyed our stay. Thank you! Julie B.

Till next year.

Multi family ski getaway
Recent Guest, Lake Zurich, IL United States
It was a great house for multiple families with lots of bedrooms, each with it's own bathroom (which is much more convenient than I originally imagined). It's well stocked with kitchen stuff (albeit a bit worn), basic consumables (paper towels, dish detergent, hand soap) which was great because they listed it and so we knew we didnt have to bring it. Only thing that would have really made it complete was shower things like shampoo, conditioner and bath gel (the last house we rented apparently used to stock their place and it as SOOO convenient for us). The decor and furnishings could use an update but the comforts of having so many things readily available (they had pool towels by the hot tub) made up for it. The app that they send you is really convenient too

This home was ideal for our group. Lovely location and comfortable rooms. So well outfitted we felt right at home immediately. Just loved the arrangement of rooms with little getaway areas and of course, the proximity to Galena town area was perfect. Couldn't look for a better place and are asking to rent it again next year.
Lovely Home
Recent Guest, Lyndon, IL United States
We had a great 50th Anniversary celebration stay for my in-laws at this house. We had enough beds and plenty of bathrooms, our children didn't want to leave!
A few small issues we had: 1. There weren't enough of the promised 14 cards to use at the pool, there were only 11, so we had two family members that couldn't go swimming for free. The pool house is very strict and would not allow them to come in without a pass card. That was a little frustrating. 2. Lots of flies, but nothing a good rolled up newspaper didn't solve (maybe have a few in the supply closet?). 3. This is really minor, but the light switches for the dining room table would be nice if they were labeled. It took us until the morning of our departure to finally get the switch combination right to be able to use it.
Other than those somewhat minor issues, the house was clean, comfortable, and we would definitely come back and/or recommend it to other families.
Manager's Response
So glad this guest had a great stay in our spacious Territory home. If the proximity card situation arises during your stay (sometimes they check out with previous guests) please let us know. You can purchase a guest pass and we will gladly reimburse you after your stay. Also the area is in a very natural setting, insects of all types are prevelant. We have the home treated by a pest control service and professionally cleaned after each stay. If you come in the spring you may experience boxelder bugs or japanese beetles and there is always nature near all year long. It's part of the joy of staying in the Territory! Bugs, Birds and Bats Oh MY!

Recent Guest, Grayslake, IL United States
1. Before arrival, there were a couple questions that the property management company did not respond to. 2. We were charged fifty cents more on our balance than what was quoted. 3. Upon arrival, the kitchen linens smelled so bad that they had to be washed; the floor mat in front of the stove was so sticky that I put it away in the closet for the week; before loading food in the fridge, my husband cleaned the whole area around the refrigerator lightbulb; we found that most of the pots/pans/baking utensils had to be washed before use. The dryer vent was PACKED with lint. Some vertical posts on balcony are breaking loose and needs repair to be safe. Master bath tub, shower, floor needs replacing. The screened-in porch has a big tear in the screening. All that was minor to the floor plan (and large lawn) being perfect for our family and the good times we shared. The property management company did respond promptly to the emails I sent during our stay. THANK YOU!!!

Overall Successfull
Recent Guest, Franklin, WI United States
For what we rented the home for it served us very well. The deck and main living room is where we spent most of our time and it was very lovely. I found the Master lock key drop box outside extremely hard to open but it could have just been me. We had plenty of room for the girls staying there and everything was pretty clean. If I had to complain about anything, we ran out of hot water really fast for showers. And the towels were very musty smelling, like they had been sitting wet or damp for quite some time before being dried properly. Each room encountered a lot of spiders as well which is to be assumed I was just surprised at how many we found in our short time.

Great space

We had four families staying in this home, with kids ages 1 year to 13. We really enjoyed our stay...lots of room to spread out, but also plenty of common space We loved the proximity to the Owners Club and also to the Eagle Ridge Complex and the General Store. We were particularly impressed by the fact that someone had scooped the walked and was plowing the driveway at 6am after a storm, as it allowed us to get out to get in a morning workout with far less work than it otherwise would have taken. Abby (property manager) and Gail (housekeeping) were responsive, and we'd definitely come back again!

Nadine S., West Des Moines, IA United States
In general, very happy with our stay. A few small things, but none were a deal breaker.
Gas grill cylinders: one was empty, one was all but empty.
Nice size lot so you didn't feel like you had neighbors.
Layout was perfect for our group of 6 couples.
If you want to play pool, bring your own cues because none were really usable.
Hot tub was nice.
Again, overall we were very happy with the accommodations and would stay there again.
Great place for large groups

This is a great property for large groups! Owner/Management was responsive prior to the stay. Large yard, jacuzzi, fire pit, large patio/deck. Kitchen is a bit tight, but stocked well. Electric stove was okay. The home was clean and spacious! If you're looking for a place for a large group, this is it. Pool table could use new sticks! Make sure to take advantage of the amenities such as in-door pool, gymnasium (basketball) and game room! This home is located 20 minutes from downtown Galena.

Great home - would recommend to others and would stay there again.
A great getaway for a large family
Karen J., United States
I have 5 grown children and wanted a home with 6 bedrooms so everyone could have their own private area. This home also had 6.5 bathrooms which was a huge plus! The grandkids (and adults) LOVED the backyard which was HUGE: big enough for kickball, frisbee, and plenty of running here and there .My dream was to have my whole family under one roof and that was realized in extreme comfort with beautiful trees and lawn, VERY spacious indoors and outdoors, places for adults to hang out together while children slept close by (deck, game room, pool room,), and a well stocked kitchen which was amazing because it allowed us to cook all of our food, excellent meals, which was necessary due to my daughter's Celiac Disease. A home sweet home experience, AWAY from home!
