Perfect home for our family Christmas holiday!

Kitchen was well equipped. The view of the river from the four season room was perfect with a cup of coffee in the mornings. Plenty of room for all the adult grandchildren under the same roof. They all said they would like to come back.

Property was just as we saw it on VRBO.

We had 11 family members get together at the location for 3 days. It was everything we expected. Plenty of room for all of us without getting in everyone's way. The entire house was excellent in every way. From the fully stocked kitchen necessities, bathroom supplies, and comfortable bedrooms. We didn't have a chance to use the "playroom" but it appeared to have enough items to keep young ones occupied.We highly recommend the property to anyone with a lot of people. We could have had 3 or 4 more people stay comfortably. Highly recommend this unit.

Beautiful vacation rental in Galena

We stayed at this wonderful home as a group of eight (older) women friends. The spaciousness and comfort of the home, the three separate outdoor patios, and the gorgeous view of the lake from every window made this a very special getaway. It was accessible to historic Galena, to two restaurants on the Eagle Ridge property, plus to the marina where we rented a pontoon for a lovely ride along the lake. We all highly recommend this house for a Galena vacation.

Fall Ladies Weekend

Our group of 14 ladies had plenty of space to spread out when needed and to gather as well! The home was very comfortable with many different rooms our group could fit in to be together. Beds were comfortable and it was nice having so many bathrooms to utilize so we never felt crowded. The home had everything in it that we needed--we had a wonderful stay!

Lakeview Home

Lovely home with tons of room! It was perfect for our family of fourteen with nice bedrooms and bathrooms. The game areas were just great for the kids, too. On the negative side, we were not able to get DVDs to play (for the kids) with the setup there no matter how we tried. And we all wished checkout time could have been at 11 am instead of 10 am. Overall, a great place to stay!

Stunning setting

This beautiful home has a spectacular view of Lake Galena and the amazing sunsets. The eagles are plentiful and fun to watch. The house had ample room for our party of 12 including a place for everyone at the table. Our only complaint is the numerous things that did not work. If they are fixed we would definitely stay again next year.

Nice NYE Getaway

We enjoyed our stay and the house was very nice! Plenty of space. No major issues and the owners were responsive when we had questions about the house. They were able to address anything under their control (took awhile for the association's snow plows to get to our driveway, but not much can be done about that). Views were very nice even in winter and are probably spectacular during other months. Note: there is no hot tub anymore so the owner should update the listing description and description of one of the photos.

Unclean and outdated, lacked basics.

There was a safety concern w deck railings, they were fastened on with temporary brackets. The property had basic utensils but every thing seemed cheap and outdated for what we paid. One guest found old bathing suits under her bed which was totally gross, like it wasn't cleaned properly. The views and location were top notch and nice house and space, just needs work and updating. I know the owners are working on it and are new.

Lovely Family Lake View Home

Family (elderly parent, adult children, college age grandkids) spent lovely 4 days at this property to reconnect after being separated during the pandemic. Great lake view with seating from all 3 levels and plenty of gathering space on main level and game space on lower level with ping pong table. Unit very clean and solid internet access. Weaknesses were low water pressure on 3rd level when lower levels using water and mixed TV connectivity. Two steps entrance to home without railing was manageable with assistance for elderly father. Amenity cards to Eagle Ridge Resort enabled renting very affordable pontoon boat. and 2 swimming pool options , one very kid oriented, helpful as lake is not swim-friendly. (Family did not golf but plenty of course options for golfers as well). Owner provided very clear instructions from get-go so no need for additional contact. Overall, a very nice get-away option.

Family Vacation

This was a great home for our family of 13. Plenty of room, beautifully decorated, lots of privacy, the balconies were awesome to sit out on and see the Lake. The pools were an added bonus at the club house. We got to meet the owners. Very nice people. When we had questions they were quick to respond. Wish the TV in the basement wouldn’t have been so glitchy and wish there would have been better water pressure upstairs in the shower, but these are all things we dealt with. Wonderful vacation spot and would consider renting again if we went to Galena

About the host

Hosted by Joe & Katie Schuhow

We are originally from eastern Iowa and got married in Galena in 2006. It is such a special place and certainly near and dear to our hearts. We enjoy spending time with several extended family members and friends at the house and are always in awe of the lake views. They never disappoint! No matter what time of year!

Why they chose this property

This property is in such a beautiful, secluded lake setting, which such easy access to golf, the marina, the horseback riding center, the owner's club with 2 pools and several other amenities, as well as several trails. The property is also unique in that it accommodates large groups so effectively, with 6 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, a large family room, dining room, sunroom, basement, upstairs loft, and upstairs bonus room. Plenty of room to both gather and spread out!

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of this home are the stunning lake views, no matter what time of year or what the weather conditions are. Additionally, there is a ping pong table, 2 futons, foosball table, and "extras" such as pool towels, bath supplies, puzzles, games, books, and plenty of nice kitchen supplies. Lastly, the proximity of the home to golf, the marina, the horseback riding center, the owner's club, and trail hiking make it truly one-of-a-kind.
