About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Perfect Getaway - Cozy Cottage in The Galena Territory

The moment you walk into this updated home, you'll begin to breath easier. With 3 bedrooms and great gathering spaces, your whole group will enjoy your time together. Great for families, couples or girl's getaways.

The Master suite (lower/living level) has a king-sized bed and ensuite with huge walk-in shower and double vanity. The upper level (entrance level) features 2 additional bedrooms and a second bathroom with a large jetted tub.

The open concept living/dining/kitchen area on the lower level allows for easy conversations and hanging out. Enjoy a meal on the screen porch in the summer or the warmth of a crackling fire in the winter.

You'll likely see wild turkey and deer cross the lawn. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of "Glenn the Galena Groundhog" who lives under the deck. On clear nights, you can see the entire Milky Way.

Relax with our easy check in and check out process - no long list of things to do before leaving.

We are pet friendly with a $50 pet fee for additional cleaning often needed when furry friends come along. Please be sure to add pets to your reservation and the fee will be added.

As guests of The Galena Territory, you have access to indoor and outdoor pools, world class golf, game room, basketball/pickleball courts, hiking trails, horse riding and of course Lake Galena for fishing and boating.

It's an easy drive (15 min) to charming downtown Galena shops and restaurants and Chestnut Mountain ski area.

Galena offers a balance of quiet relaxation with plenty to do!

This place was so amazing! My husband and I loved staying here. It was very clean and comfortable. There were instructions everywhere on how to work everything. I only wish that there were a few more windows with curtains but that’s personal preference. I would come back to this property again no problem.

My only complaint is that we only stayed 1 night. I cannot say enough good things about this whole process of booking, communication, fast responses, very helpful and accommodating. The house was perfect, beautiful, set up wonderful for a VRBO. Every part of the house was well thought out and offered anything you can think of that you might have forgotten. Bathroom and kitchen offered everything you could think of from hair ties, toothbrush, antacids to emergency cell phone. Tv service was awesome and my 11 year old was happy to find Hulu, utube and we watched some family movies. Loved having washer and dryer to use as we had to dry some clothes that got wet. The fireplace was beautiful and plenty of wood offered. Even the beds were super comfortable. I can’t say enough also about Sarah’s communication and assistance and answering any questions we had about the area and house very quickly. Even let us go back in after. Checkout to quickly get a Stanley cup that was left. I grabbed the card with Sarah’s information to hopefully stay there again and bring more family in the summer to use the beautiful outside area and screened in porch. My daughter says it is the best place we have ever stayed. Thank you for making it a special family girls weekend.

Everything about this property was perfect for us. I stayed here with my sister, two daughters and my niece. Perfect amount of space for all of us and cleanliness and aesthetic appeal was top-notch! Living room area was great for all of us to cuddle up and watch a nice fall movie. Couch was very comfortable. We also appreciated the games that were at the house ready for us to play. We played at the dining room table and the screened in porch as well, which is a nice addition to the property. The owners thought of every little detail. Extra hair ties when we needed them, even a nail file. I would absolutely stay here again. Hoping to come back next summer for a longer stay and to use more of the many amenities at the owners club. Great place.. a beautiful, quiet, home away from home.

Very nice property and location. One issue was listing stated there was a grill; the grill was more like a small hibachi, which was dirty AND there was no propane to power it. I had no problem cleaning the grill to use it, but when we called the manager, we were told to go get our own fuel for the grill…not cool. We had brought some steaks to grill and it kind of ruined our dinner plans. If you don’t have a grill, just say so. I could have brought my own portable grill, but if youlist it, provide it.

The house at first seemed lovely and well organized. We found later that it could really use a deep clean as being in a pet friendly vrbo has never upset my allergies before but this one it was hard to sit on the couch or touch the bedspread without getting itchy. The host did ask if she minded interrupting our vacation to drop by and leave something for the house. We thought it was intrusive but figured it couldn't be avoided so we agreed. She ended up not coming, but then the day that we departed our check out time was 11 am. At 11:12 we had our luggage packed up and were checking off items on her "check out list" stripping beds, etc. A woman pounded on the door, then came in yelling that check out was at 11 am. My husband said something like, I'm sorry we'll be about 10 minutes. My daughter was terrified and my son asked why she was so angry. We didn't have much wifi in the Galena territory, so I didn't see her email, VRBO message and voicemal until we had already left and were almost in Elizabeth IL. The same woman that came in the house and yelled called and wanted to know what the delay was and wanted to know when we were able to leave, and that check out was 11 and that she has a cleaning team standing by. My husband called back and explained that we had left a while ago and were gone by11:30 just like we told the cleaning lady we would be. She then sent us a bill from her fictitional cleaning team for 20 for being 30 minutes late. Dont stay here

We took grandchildren to Galena for a couple of days for a getaway. We wanted a facility that our granddaughter and grandson could each have their own room. This rental was perfect for that every time I had a question I immediately heard back from Sarah. The place was clean and met our needs perfectly. The neighborhood was very nice and it was easy to check into. I would recommend this rental.
