About the host
Hosted by Lia DiBlasi
Hi y'all! I grew up in Dubuque IA as a hardworking midwest gal, that is now a proud Texan enjoying life, family and friends! Enjoy getting back 'home' to visit my family and enjoy the calm and simple life this area has to offer!
I am looking forward to a future of traveling with my husband and our kids, seeing the world and hosting others for their time away from the day-to-day grind by stepping away with loved ones to spend time in a beautiful countryside home!
Why they chose this property
The Galena Territory is a semi-private, 6,800-acre private recreational and residential lake community located six miles outside the historic city of Galena in Northwest Illinois.
Property owners in the low-density planned residential community collectively own 1,900 acres of recreational amenities in addition to their own properties. These include 31 miles of walking/hiking trails, Lake Galena for boating and outstanding fishing, a marina complex, an equestrian center, and a state-of-the-art pool/recreation complex.
The Galena Territory boasts spectacular vistas, valleys, prairies, and woodlands, and harbor rare plant and bird species found nowhere else in Illinois. With a commitment to protecting and preserving this natural environment, The Galena Territory was designated a Community Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation in 2010.
On Jan. 11, 2021 The Galena Territory Was Named As A Dark Sky Friendly Development Of Distinction Award Recipient.
What makes this property unique
This is property backs right up to the wilderness. When in the back you'll feel like you went hiking and found the perfect spot to set up a campfire, there are 2 decks to enjoy the view, not to mention most guests rave about the 3 seasons room off the upper deck; great for playing games and catching up with your loved ones over dinner; without bugs! And that basement has all the fun... set up with 2 bar tables and bar with bar stools... a pool table, ping pong and a poker table! There's darts while you wait your turn at pool, two flat screens to play some music or catch a game. We also have a huge smart TV in the media room great for the kiddos when they aren't out exploring outdoors! From the basement sliding doors lead you out to the lower-level deck, which also houses the Hot Tub perfect to soak in that treelined view!
