Friends weekend

We had a fabulous time and this house worked perfectly for our two families. There was more than enough room to all spread out and enjoy our own spaces. Loved all the outdoor spaces as well. We would definitely stay here again!

Great place for any occasion!

We visited the Galena area and stayed at this house for a recent friends trip and the property could not have been better! The homeowners provided everything you could possibly want and were friendly in answering any and all questions we had. The home way clean, quite, and just a quick drive away from all the wonderful Galena attractions. Would definitely stay again!

Lovely home and gardens

The home is spacious and well furnished to comfortably accommodate my family of seven; truly felt like home. The gardens around the house were so beautiful that we opted to host extended family for cook outs in the evening. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Girls Trip

It was a comfy and beautiful place to stay for our girls trip. We had 8 people in total for this trip and there was more than enough room for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked and everything worked! The back yard was cozy and we had the additional highlight of the same two turkeys greeting us in the morning. We were walking distance from the hot air balloon festival and a quick drive to downtown Galena for the wine festival! Everything was clean, honestly wouldn’t mind booking again for another mini trip!

Late Fall Getaway

We absolutely loved the location and property. We were lucky with the late fall colors and with how green the golf course was. Overall, a very pretty scene. The golf cart paths were a great place to walk in the evenings. The property met all of our needs.

About the host

Hosted by Sandra Spence

Host profile image
We purchased the property for our own families use. As our family grew and we weren't able to spend as much time there, we decided to share our home with others. It has been a wonderful experience getting to know others who have come to enjoy the Galena area as much as we have. The continued revenue from visitors has enabled us to continually care for the home and made it a wonderful place to enjoy your time away from home anytime of the year.

Why they chose this property

The nice thing about this property is that it has a wonderful view of the golf course and yet very private. The area provides great outdoor activities all year round. Boating, Fishing, Golfing and Hiking in the spring, summer and fall. Skiing in the winter season and relaxing by a cozy fire.

What makes this property unique

I believe the most unique benefit to this property is it's location it is centrally located in the Galena Territory Area. It is about 5 min, drive to the Eagle Ridge Inn which is convenient for many of our guest who are attending weddings at the Inn. There is a back way to town that is about 15 min. drive, also a 5 min. drive to the homeowners club. The homeowners club is where you will find the indoor pool all year around as well as the workout facility. The Indoor pool is open year round at the homeowners club also.
