Wonderful Galena Territory Stay

We booked this as a last minute trip due to travel conditions to our original destination becoming unsafe. We are so happy we did. We have found a new area, only hours from where we live that we will be coming back to year after year. The accommodations are fantastic, clean, and well-located in the Galena Territory. They are just miles away from shopping, dining, fishing, trails, and golf—all that while still being away from the "city" life. The instructions left by the owners were great. Check-in went without incident. Overall a wonderful place to stay.

Amazing stay!

This home was exactly what our family needed for our vacation! Roger was the most gracious and helpful host, readily available and very friendly. The home had everything we needed for our stay and the owners club was perfect for the kids. Galena had great dining and shopping and our host suggested the museum aquarium in Dubuque which we all enjoyed. 10/10 would definitely book with Roger & Marilyn again!

Great Townhome in Awesome Location!

Our family took a quick weekend getaway to visit Galena for the first time. We were initially looking for a cabin but came across this listing that caught our attention. We took a chance and ended up loving everything about it! The place was super clean and we loved the decor (elements of mid century modern). Nice quiet and peaceful ride into the property and only 15 minutes away from dowtown Galena. The place had everything you needed too. My kids saw a blue jay for the first time outside in the little patio, which was cool. We would definitely stay here again next time we come visit Galena! Thanks again for the hospitality!

This location was a perfect retreat from the business of downtown. It was quiet and peaceful. It was also fun to sit on the deck and watch both the wildlife and the golfers. The condo was comfortable and well stocked. We recommend this to others and we would stay there again.

Great hosts, cozy place!

This was a perfect getaway home for us and close enough to the Chestnut Mountain ski resort. The place was clean and cozy, and we were greeted with a complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival. The surrounding area was perfect for morning walks and evening relaxation. The best part, our hosts were very accommodating and responsive! Highly recommend this place!

This was the perfect home to stay in as we visited Galena. It’s in a beautiful forested area; a short, gorgeous drive to Galena. We were impressed with the cleanliness and the thoughtfulness of our hosts. A bottle of wine greeted us, as well as some popcorn and breakfast bars. I always appreciate the special touches like this.

What a great property! So clean and nicely decorated. The amenities and extras were a surprise too. Coffee bar, snacks, wine, games…they really made us feel so welcomed. This is a great place for a family or two couples to stay comfortably! It’s right on the golf course and less than 15 minutes to downtown Galena! We will be back!

Couldn’t have been better! Close to many points of nature from outside back door to 40 miles away. Loved historic Galena, boutique shopping, good restaurants as well as relaxing at “home” Condo as all the comforts of home. Patio comfortable for coffee in am, wine and games in evening ! Just what we hoped it would be!
