Way more highs than lows :-)

We did an extended family vacation. In laws, my family of 4, and my husband’s brother’s family of 6. 12 total with 6 kids ranging in age from 10 to 17. While we are sharing criticism for future guests and/or management, we all agreed it was still a five star rental overall! 1) Basic amenities offered at hotels should be provided. Travel size shampoo, conditioner and body wash was not provided in any of our bathrooms. Additionally, an ice maker would have been lovely. 2) While we did reach out ahead of time to schedule golf, there seems to be an extended process for getting the “preferred rates”. We did not give them enough time to regular mail vouches to our home prior to the trip. This was how the golf shop told us it worked? It’s 2025, how is this convenient for anyone? 3) The location of “The Territories” is not very convenient if you plan to spend most of your time downtown. Half our group commented the location was inconvenient while the other half thoroughly enjoyed the countryside and solitude. So if shopping and dining out is your priority, know there will be a 10-15 minute drive each way.Aside from that, we all enjoyed our stay in Galena and at this property. The fitness center, pool, basketball court, hot tub, pool table, karaoke machine, poker table, golf course, walking paths, fire pit & darts were all enjoyed during our short 4-night stay. We found the beds comfortable, the en suite bathrooms spacious, and the living areas cozy. Hoping to return soon! :-)

Everything we needed

We brought our staff here to getaway and have annual planning sessions. The en-suite bedrooms worked really well for privacy while the common spaces allowed our team to still feel connected. With the wide array of built in activities and the wonderfully furnished kitchen we had little need to leave the property. Will definitely plan to stay again.

Lovely Girls Getaway

The home did not disappoint. Rural area but easy enough to go into Galena, a scenic dinner at Timmerman's in East Dubuque, and antiquing in Elizabeth. Everyone having their own space was nice, although the deck is a bit rough and needs some love. A tea kettle would have been appreciated, but overall pretty well stocked. The thermostats were vexing, patio doors stuck a little, and be prepared for sketchy wifi, as you are in a wooded area. Both Laura and Todd were responsive to our needs with setting up a few things in the home. They really made the experience top notch.

Lovely house with responsive host

Overall the home was great. The bedrooms, mattresses, and bedding were wonderful. We loved the ceiling fans and open concept. The whole family enjoyed the pool table, arcade game, shuffleboard, and a few the hot tub! The couches and chairs were all very nice and comfortable. Additionally, having access to garage and the 2nd refrigerator was awesome and should be listed as an asset! The number of bathrooms was ideal, but the toilets all still had blue cleaner in them when we arrived. Additionally there was a shortage of towels both per bathroom and to travel to the pool with. There were very few washcloths for the bathrooms or the kitchen. The kitchen was not as well stocked as we had hoped, but we have fairly high expectations. We are a large multi-generational family that cooks at least 2 meals daily. The grill should be upgraded as it struggles to cook evenly due to some "repairs." This caused some adjustments to our menu that were not ideal. The pool and rec center were lovely, but the guests before us didn't return all the passes so we were 3 short the entire week. $5/day per person. PS- We did see wild turkeys walking through the yard early one morning, which was very cool:)

Great house for multigenerational family weekend

We had a wonderful weekend here with our multigenerational family. The bedrooms are all nice, quiet, comfortable and private. Lots of areas to gather, play and relax. The hot tub was great, kitchen well stocked, screened in porch lovely and view from the deck was so calming! There were a couple of items not stocked (hand soap in powder room, coffee filters in kitchen) that would have been nice. But overall no complaints from our group!! Just lots of fun times with our family and great times for our group including toddlers, tweens, teens and grandparents alike!

Amazing house for large family!

We LOVE this house and hope to stay there again soon! So many thoughtful details (extra pillows/blankets, games, s’mores supplies, etc.). the whiskey room and loft area were great! Only a couple negatives (and they weren’t a huge deal), but the deck is pretty worn and we had a couple splinters and there were only 7 amenity passes, when a house holds 14, a pass for each guest would be expected. Overall, it was a great trip! The host was very helpful!

Every year we get a big house for our family to hang out. Had a blast! Plenty of room for games and the hot tub was great!

Perfect house for weekend getaway

This house is exactly as described/shown…it’s simply amazing! Beautiful decor, functional in every way (furniture layout with lots of seating, kitchen stocked with every accessory needed). We brought a group of teens with us and they loved all the games, hot tub, fire pit, etc. I can’t imagine a better house to entertain in. The only downside was the karaoke machine would not power on. But with so many other activities to choose from, it was obviously not a big deal. We enjoyed the owners club rec center too.

Clean Comfy & Relaxing

We were here for just a few nights, but my wife and family thoroughly enjoyed the separation of rooms, large TVs in areas, game room, and hot tub. The beds were top notch, everything was very clean and organized. After a long day on the slopes, it surely helped the muscles. The shuffleboard was icing on the cake for me, brought back memories. The multiple coffee options, and double set of washer/dryers would really work well for larger group. It was just 5 of us, but we would return for sure! Thanks for a great stay!
