Wonderful Stay at 59 Longwood
Diana E., Holland, MI US
The house was perfect for our extended family of nine. Loved the hot tub and games downstairs as well as the Owner's Club. By the way, take along some beach towels because the Owner's Club doesn't provide them. Glad we did. Highly recommend the Mississippi River Museum in Dubuque. We took our grandkids there and they loved it. The Log Cabin was elegant. Chestnut Mountain restaurant had a view to die for. The kids loved the Alpine slide and Zip Line. The big kids used the golf courses nearby, but also went to neighboring town's golf course. Less pricey. I found the people at Owner's Club very friendly. We did water aerobics in early morning and enjoyed the quiet of the pool without so many people.
Very comfortable and roomy home with wonderful game room for 10
keith g., Bloomington, IN United States
This house and property is great for a quiet, cozy place and adequate for 10. The location is excellent away from noise and crowds with a peaceful view of trees and birds singing. The fire pit with a good supply of wood provided a family setting to chat and relax. The hot tub was a welcome warm comfortable restful amenity. The game room was fun for all with a special video game console to play a number of choice games and a pool table. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms gave space and room to provide privacy and comfort for 10. The house is well maintained and had anything needed for kitchen and seating of 10. The screened porch was an excellent gathering place to chat and listen to songbirds in the morning. Highly recommended and this was our second year to stay here.

Thanks Keith! We love that you chose Longwood for another stay. We truly enjoy hosting our guests and can't wait for you to visit us again.
Perfect weekend getaway.
Susan M., Westmont, IL United States
We were very happy with this house and really enjoyed our family weekend get away. I'd highly recommend it.
A great stay!

We enjoyed our third year at this home for a winter/ski getaway.
Friends Reunion
Cari L., Plainfield, IL United States
This property was perfect for our annual friends reunion. Close proximity to entrance of the territory made getting into Galena easy. The home was so clean and spacious, plenty of room for all of us to gather and visit. The beds were very comfortable and the hot tub was a nice bonus. Parking has always been an issue for us when renting but this location offered ample parking for all of our cars. We can’t wait to come back!

Recent Guest, Dubuque, Iowa United States
We stayed here for a guys golf weekend. The property was very accommodating, as there were plenty of spots to sleep. The house was also extremely clean. Would definitely stay here again.
Tons of room for 8 ladies enjoying Ladies get-a-way weekend!
Jeanette W., Algonquin, IL US
Great house, lots of room for all! We did do a couple meals there. For a house holding so many guests I wish there were larger pots and pans. It was annoying to cook for so many with what was there. That is my only complaint. Otherwise was very clean and again loved all the room! I would definitely stay again.

Excellent!
Perfect for our family!
Chele A., Iowa City, IA US
The home was beautiful and had so much space for our family of 11! The open floor plan kitchen/ living room was great for making meals together! The yard was large enough for us to play cornhole and set up badmitten. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool table, arcade game, fires and playing game sun the screened in!! Not to mention the pools, and game room at the owners club!!
Spacious view,bathroom space, hot tub,games and pool table
Recent Guest, Bloomington , IN United States
Family retreat of 10 with enough bathroom space and bedrooms for all, the hot tub was great. 5 kids loved pool table and arcade games and adults too. The house was inviting, clean, spacious with glass windows and even skylight in bathrooms. We all loved the fire pit and plentiful wood pile to roast s’mores. The second story screened porch was a nature lovers dream to sit and listen to all the wonderful songbirds. Living space was very adequate and allowed room for various needs and activities. Beds were quality mattresses and bedding for sleeping.
Linda, Galena homes manager was immediately available to answer any problems. She provided a new 4 digit code to enter house upon our arrival.
The code that was previously given was incorrect. She answered questions we had that took care of any minor concerns. Only thing lacking was matches or a lighter to start a fire plus paper or kindling wood which we were able to get ourselves at a local store and sticks from woods behind house. No problems or complaints overall and we all would come back here again

Wonderful Getaway
Recent Guest, Maynard, IA US
We had a group of 11 ladies and everyone was pleased with all the space, bedrooms, and amenities. Very clean and great location! Would highly recommend.
Family Gathering
Recent Guest, Gilberts, IL Unknown
The home on Longwood Drive accommodated our family of 10 well to be able to have some time together, as we live in 2 states. We really enjoyed the outdoor space with the hot tub and fire pit to make smores and the Owner's Club for swimming, basketball and fitness center. A house this large is difficult to keep cool in Summer and warm in Winter. We needed to turn off the AC as it made the basement bedrooms too cold. Luckily the weather was wonderful and it cooled off at night too. Perhaps a couple of space heaters in the basement bedrooms. The couple of questions we had were promptly responded too.
Wedding
Recent Guest, Clinton, IA United States
Our family was attending a wedding at eagle ridge resort. This rental was a perfect location.
Annual skiing weekend
Tatiana K., ROSELLE, IL US
This home worked ok for our company since we had five couples and five bedrooms with separated bathrooms. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the home and the amount of linens/towels provided. Mattresses and pillows were of good quality. Except downstairs Queen size Serta sofa sleeper which mattress was terribly misshapen and couldn't be used. House has very spacious bedrooms, however the main living room doesn't have enough space for the larger group congregation (only 6 people can fit freely on 2 couches). Fireplace worked nicely. Kitchen had lots of cooking utensils, however it lacked some important dishes (only 7 coffee mugs and 10 forks which weren't sufficient for the 12 of us). Dining room included only 9 chairs. There was some wear and tear evident in some places, especially the dining room area. . Hot tub was clean, however it wasn't properly filled up prior to our arrival-water lever was way below jets and water was spraying all over us. There was no connecting water hose to fill up the tub.
Manager's Response
We appreciate the positive feedback. We do wish Tatiana would have reached out to us during her stay at some point so we could have tried to rectify any issues. To all of our guests, please remember these are residential homes. The Longwood living room area is a standard room size along with the kitchen. We can only fit so many areas for seating, that's why this open floor plan is so important. Everyone can sit together on the main level with plenty of seating. 6 in the living room 4 at the kitchen counter and 9 at the dining room table - this home sleeps 12 and this is adequate room for all to enjoy. Also we have enough beds to sleep all 12, the sofa sleeper is a bonus but we will audit the mattress and advise the owner if it needs to be replaced. Just a note the hot tub seats 7, we cannot fill the hot tub up to the top because once those 7 people sit in it it will overflow. We use a professional hot tub company to maintain and clean our tubs and they do this for every stay. Please consider Longwood for your group it is an amazing spot to enjoy the Galena area.
An amazing home!
Recent Guest, Kalona, IA US
This home was perfect with so many bedrooms, and a bathroom for everyone. The home is gorgeous, the location is great. And it had a clean and amazing hot tub. I will definitely save this home for a future trips to Galena.
Spacious getaway
DIANE B., Middleton, WI US
We had such a great time at Longwood. The snow came down and we snuggled in for the weekend by the fireplace. The house was perfect for our group of 7, with room to spare. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub while it snowed. A very clean and nicely decorated home. Would return again!
GREAT House
Lynne M., Merrillville, IN United States
We have rented this house several times, approximately 10 times and we love it.

Great place for a girls weekend!
Jessica D., Center Point, IA US
We had a great stay in this home & are already talking about booking our next trip here! Loved the location & amenities & layout of the property. It allowed us to spread out when needed but also big enough for 12 of us to gather together as well! We did have to reach out to the property manager & that was a smooth process too! Would definitely recommend this area, this house & VRBO to friends & family!
Annual family trip

We enjoyed the home plenty of space for each family to enjoy a good time and good sleeping we loved the location very peaceful and nice driveway for kids to ride bikes and rollerblade and fire pit was a hit for s’mores and stories
Great place for family fun
Recent Guest, Ankeny, IA US
My family loved staying here! We had my parents, adult siblings and our children all stay here, and we loved how we each had our own space and bathrooms. The large open common spaces were perfect for gathering and meals. The outdoor spaces were perfect for lots of family fun too. I would definitely recommend this place to friends! The property manager was very pleasant to work with as well.
Would definitely rent again!

Great family gathering spot
Recent Guest, Indian Head Park, IL United States
Our family visits the Territory often and likes to try new places but this is one home we would return to repeatedly. It has great open space yet plenty of beds and baths for each of our daughter’s families. The two step entry and main floor master was perfect for a walker dependent parent. Things were in good repair but we know from previous stays that Great Escapes is always very responsive when we asked for something.

Galena was an amazing town to stay at and the property we rented was beautiful. We very much enjoyed the amenities there was offered and we had an amazing g time. Would come back anytime!
Great Home for our large group
Recent Guest, Hampton, IA United States
We had a family wedding in Galena and had a number of guests 10 stay here. The accommodations of everyone who had a bedroom also had a bathroom was perfect! Didn’t get to use the outside fire pit due to time constraints of the wedding but the Hot Tub did get used what a wonderful amenity to this rental. Oh and also the pool table and arcade machine put plenty of us in some down time competitions!
CLEAN..WELL ORGANIZED..IF THERE ARE TWO DOWNFALLS THESE ARE THEM. STREET LIGHTING IS BASICALLY NON-EXISISTENT DUE TO THEIR COVENANTS SO FINDING YOUR WAY HOME AT NIGHT WITHOUT SOME SORT OF GPS IS A CHALLENGE THE FIRST FEW TIMES. THE SECOND IS THERE WASN'T AT LEAST AT OUR HOME A GOOD DIRECTIONAL MAP ON HOW TO DISPOSE OF EXCESS GARBAGE. AFTER DRIVING THROUGH THE MANY STREETS AND FINALLY FINDING A BUILDING WHO WE COULD STOP AND ASK(HR and Maintenance). We were given a map with a highlighted route to get there. Other than those two minor hiccups the property and stay is well worth the look if you need five bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths with couches and floor space to spare! Great experience!
Manager's Response
So glad they enjoyed the home! This is true about lighting, The Galena Territory is part of the Dark Sky initiative and we are not allowed excessive lighting in the area or at the homes. The stars are worth it! Also the waster facility information is on our website, in your check in instructions, in the binder in the home or on the frig,etc. There is no address to share but if you can find Thunderbay Falls or The Shenandoah Riding Center you will be close to one of the two waste locations.

Family Reunion

This home worked very well for our family since we had five couples and five bedrooms. We had space for us to gather in small groups as well as enough space for the larger group. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the home, and with the ease of talking to the people representing Vacation Homes of Galena. We were also happy with our ability to prepare meals because of the well stocked kitchen. A couple more bowls could have been helpful. There was some wear and tear evident in some places, but overall we were very happy with selection of this property.
Spacious house and lot!
Tim J., Franklin, WI United States
We rented this house for my parents’ 40th anniversary, and the weekend could not have gone better! We were able to relax easily whether inside or on the deck overlooking a serene distant view across the Galena treeline. I recommend this house to any family or group with 10-12 people!

This place was just what we needed during this crazy time. The house is starting to show it's age and the fact that it is a rental house. The walls had marks and holes, but it is what I would except from a rental home.

Spacious home with great amenities
Lindsey S., west DES MOINES, IA Unknown
A great home for a large family gathering. The kids loved the pool at resort and hot tub and game room in the basement. Although the home was clean on the surface, there were many spider webs in the window and dust and dead bugs under furniture. It didn’t interrupt our stay, it could just use a deep cleaning. I would advise against allowing babies and toddlers upstairs as the spindles appear to be wider apart than regulation. I caught my son early in the trip trying and almost successfully slipping through. Overall I would recommend this home and vacation rentals of Galena.
Manager's Response
Thanks for the great feedback on our Longwood home. The amenities at the home and the area are really great and can't be beat. We have spoken with housekeeping about the issues and the home is schedule for a deep clean. Please note the home was moved into and out of 5 times within 15 days, many times guests wanting early check ins and housekeeping was doing the best they could under the time constraints. We will reset now with the first of the year and be back in tip top form for our guests. The spindles are 100% within code. The home is inspected yearly and Jo Daviess County has never had an issue with the home. We take safety very seriously and this is why there is no furniture near the loft so please keep an eye on your littles. Thanks and we'd love to have you visit us - check out our great reviews!

The house is beautiful. Everything is supplied which is wonderful with no need to shop for supplies. The girls enjoyed the hot tub.
The setting of the house made it feel secluded.
I would recommend.
The furniture is a little worn. Also a none slip bottom should be applied to bathtub upstairs
Manager's Response
We are so glad you enjoyed our Longwood home! The area is beautiful and private feeling and the house is inviting. Great news - new couches arrive the week of 09/23 in the main level providing additional seating. We can't wait for you to visit us!

Ten of us had a great week enjoying Galena. The house was adequate for our size group and the management staff was very attentive when we found there was not enough silverware. The bedrooms were spacious. We did need towel bars in some of them as we had to hang towels on a screw . We were told the couch had a loose arm and was going to be replaced. When you sat on that end of the couch, you sank to the wooden frame. One of the chairs was threadbare on the arm and the carpet in the family room area had spots and stains. One of the toilets in the downstairs leaked and it was very damp downstairs. Our towels and washcloths were all still wet when we checked in, but perhaps that was a housekeeping error. The beds were comfy but the master sank to the middle. The carpet downstairs looked new and we appreciated that. The kitchen is not stocked with any spices and there is no ice maker. We enjoyed having a Keurig and another coffee pot as well. The outside lamplight is tilting and the entrance steps need repainting. The house, however, was very clean. Overall, it needs some attention, but we still had fun, enjoyed the view, the table for ten, etc.
Nice place with plenty of room
Jeffrey M., Elgin, IL United States
Everything in this home was in order. Pretty much everything you would need. Good location not too far from entrance to the Galena Territory. Definitely worth it.

This home works out perfect for us.....5 gentlemen/ college room mates in our annual retreat. This was our 5th time at this house. It was nice to see a brand new dishwasher and refrigerator, plus many new dishes, a video game counsel in the basement and a couple of pieces of new furniture. The management company was very responsive and friendly.

Weekend Family Celebration for Octogenarian
Recent Guest, The Villages, FL United States
Eleven family members gathered for Grandpa's and Dad's 80th birthday celebration. With no reservations, I can say we had a fabulous weekend at our "home" on Longwood Drive! The house is beautiful and the pictures accurately show what one can expect. Everyone had their own private space when needed but the common areas were the ones most utilized. We loved the screened porch and had many laughs when playing games. The younger people especially enjoyed the gaming and pool tables.
Everyone was sad to leave and all said we should do it again in the future. Truly, we had the best time!
Great home for extended families
Daniel K., Oswego, IL US
Very nice and clean home. It was great for our extended family, due to each of the 5 bedrooms having their own bathrooms. Some minor wear and tear in the furniture, but overall a great experience.
Great family weekend!

Love Galena
Steve M., Iola, WI United States
Have found a new winter experience at Chestnut Mountain in Galena, Il. We have a timeshare with Wyndham but could not find any condos available for our ski trip. Search went out to local rental properties which lead us to the Longwood property. We were thrilled to find a five bedroom five bath house in close proximity to Chestnut Mountain. The price was very affordable and everyone in our party was quite comfortably accommodated.
Great home for multiple families

Plenty of space. Very convenient to have a bathroom for each bedroom. Comfortable and clean. Nice basement area for kids to hangout.

We rented this home for News Years and it was a great experience. Close to Chestnut for Skiing and Galena for shopping. We went to the club house for a day, but it was crowded in the pool and the gym so we went back to the house and had cupcake wars with the kids. Very spacious house and the hot tub is an added bonus!

Beautiful Location for a Family Gathering
Diane W., Loveland, CO United States
We enjoyed our time at 59 Longwood very much. We found it to be a beautiful, restful location with all of the amenities we needed for our holiday stay. A single complaint is that the mattress in the large downstairs bedroom needs to be replaced. By the time the couple staying there mentioned it to me, it was too late for me to work with management for a replacement.
Manager's Response
So glad you enjoyed your stay at our 5 BR Longwood. It is in a great location, affords tons of space for your group and has great amenities. All of the mattresses were just replaced at the same time so we will definitely be checking out why the one is not performing the same as the others. We always appreciate this type of feedback! Thanks again and we hope to see you again very soon.

Awesome rental for our family vacation !!!
Wanda H., HANOVER, IL - Illinois United States
BEAUTIFUL home! Everyone (7 adults, 4 children (3 & under) had a wonderful time! So glad we chose this home within minutes of our own homes to save on the 2-3 hour car ride with the little ones. Home was spacious, beautiful, and everyone having their own bathroom a huge plus!!! So glad I checked out the Territory for this year's family vacation (our grown children's Christmas present)!! The pool table was a plus as well as using the GTA amenities. It rained all weekend, so we were unable to sit in the hot tub outside, but that didn't damper our spirits. I would recommend a closet with toys as none of us brought any (didn't want to forget any). Luckily, the kids had a blast just running through the different levels and playing hide & seek!
Sibling Getaway
Joanne U., United States
Very happy with the home. Only negative was the the bed in the lower level on the right side. That happened to be the bedroom I got and it was impossible to sleep - the mattress was bad. It really needs to be replaced.
Manager's Response
So glad you were happy with the home! All of the mattresses in the home are only 1 year old. Sometimes (like at home) the mattresses can fall off the rails or the slats will shift. Please call us during your stay and we will send someone out to help! Thanks again!

Annual Golf/College Reunion
Recent Guest, Prior Lake, MN United States
Vacation Homes of Galena is a very professional company. They deliver on their promises and they stay in touch with you before, during and after your stay to ensure that everything is OK. I appreciated their information about "Things to Do in Galena" and their up to the minute information about local road construction that might affect our drive. The house (59 Longwood) is as advertised, but is showing some signs of wear and tear (dishwasher/grill). Beds were comfortable and the HVAC system worked well.

Longwood is a great place for a large family
Cynthia E., United States
Our stay at Longwood with our children, spouses and 4 grandchildren was wonderful. It is precious to all be under one roof and Longwood's space allowed the 11 of us to do that. For the 4 grandchildren under 6 one of the highlights is club access -- the pool. We went every day and it was wonderful. The space of Longwood also allowed for separation for the little kids when they went to bed.

This was our second year spending time at this house. We LOVE it! The kitchen is large enough for all of us to be in there cooking. We had morning coffee in the hot tub, spent time on the deck, ate meals on the screen porch, played dice and games at the large dining room table. We took advantage of the outdoor pool this time and it was awesome. The house is just perfect for our needs. We have already booked it for next year and we can't wait!

We loved that every bedroom had a bathroom! So easy for 6 women to get ready for the day. The screened in porch was a great place to gather. We do wish the kitchen was bigger though. Pretty small for this size house. Galena is a great town for shopping and wining. We will definitely stay again if we visit the area again.

Great family getaway
Joseph D., Dover, IL United States
This house was the perfect setup for our family. The house was beautiful, spotless and very well situated, with a gorgeous view. It had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing few days together. Our older children enjoyed the hot tub every night we were there and we all enjoyed the fireplace for many hours as well. We were supplied with more than enough firewood. The pool table was regularly in use. We really liked the layout as it gave our large family room to be together, but also gave people the ability to get some quiet time when they wanted it. We highly recommend this house.
Linda, the manager, was fantastic also. She answered the phone every time we called prior to and during our stay. We felt very well served and cared for.

Great location
Recent Guest, Geneva, IL United States
It's a great home in prime location for visiting Galena. Perfect for a girls get together. I would highly suggest some updating. More than half the blind are broken therefore cannot close them for privacy and to block sunlight in the bedrooms. Family room TV is small and audio is off. It's a very pitchy volume and we tried adjusting the bass and treble. Family room couch is uncomfortable you can feel the pull out bedframe from below. We appreciate the window A/C unit. Came in handy the days of 100° weather in the fall. The bedrooms are big and can hold an air mattress in the downstairs master, up stairs terrace and the basement rooms.
Other than doing some updating it's a great house in a great location.

We had 6 couples and we each had our own room/bathroom. The other 2 were fine with the living room pullout couch (bring sheets, extra pillows are in the masters walk in closet). We had 3 boats and it was tricky getting them all in circular driveway but doable. House was clean and roomy. My only suggestion would be another refrigerator, maybe downstairs for pool table area/hot tub patio?

It was the perfect house for our needs. We had 5 couples and we each had our own space and bathroom. Very little things I would say is all the blinds were broken so you couldn't open them up to enjoy the scenic view. Also I would say it's time to replace some of the bedding covers. It was fine but could use a refresh. Overall I would rent this house again, we loved it and loved that is was a little bit more on its own!

The living space was large enough for everyone to hang out in one area-and the fireplace was perfect. The house was immaculate and included all of the accommodations you could wish for. The kitchen had every utensil and dish we needed. There were plenty of towels for all. The home was within 25 minutes of the ski resort, Chestnut Mountain, and just a 15 minute drive to downtown.

Our Longwood home is a great 5 bedroom that is loaded with windows, tons of space and is very clean, bright and airy. The interior of the home is great for everyone to spread out but still enjoy everyone's company. Every bedroom has a bathroom, there's a pool table, hot tub and great outdoor spaces. We appreciate the nod to the amentities and cleanliness. The home is 20+ years old however should not effect your stay in any way. We have rebuilt the front step and it is a much safer entry. After the busy summer the exterior of the home will be repaired and spruced up. The home, our service and area amenities will be sure to please you!

We were please that we found the home, kitchen, dishes, etc very clean when we arrived. Ample dishes and cooking tools...some of the pots and pans were a little "worn". This is our third home rental for our extended weekend...this was by far the best yet.

The pool and game room at the Owner's Club were great. We have stayed at the Galena Territory 2 years now for our family vacation and plan to come back again next year. We would definitely recommend this property.

Ideal for our Family Reunion
Recent Guest, Pleasant Grove, UT United States
Perfect for our family reunion! Plenty of room for 12 people (9 adults, 3 children), with separate bed/bath for each couple/family. Cooking meals in the big well-equipped kitchen was a breeze! The extras were a big hit, including the deck, the screened in porch, the hot tub, the pool table. The property description and photos on the website are accurate, and everything was in great condition when we arrived. No headaches at all!
The vacation home of your dreams....

I planned this get-away for 12 members of my family as a Christmas gift in lieu of presents. And what a present it was!! Each family had their own bedroom and bath, gorgeous dcor, superb kitchen with 2 dining areas and screened-in porch, lower covered deck, hot tub and fire pit were a hit! For 3 days, we actually didn't leave the premises except for the pool and walks. It was a terrific family experience and one that we all will treasure. In fact, they are asking, "Can we do this again next year??" :)

Fantastic getaway for a large group! We had a great stay.
Great place to stay!

The house was great! One master bedroom was located on main floor, two bedrooms upstairs and two bedroom downstairs in the basement level (something that was not quite clear from pictures). We had a great time a group of 12 adults and few little toddlers. However, there was something unclear about thermostat temperature, at times during the night some of the rooms were much cooler than other. Otherwise it was a very nice get away.
