Ultimate Vacation Getaway - Family/Friends Cozy Retreat
Nestled on a secluded hillside that overlooks miles of Galena Territory's wildlife preserve, DunPuttin Place offers its guests total privacy, yet the convenience of being only minutes from the area's many popular amenities.
A famous resort and its 4 nationally rated golf courses are just around the corner. The Shenandoah Riding Stable and over 40 miles of trails are equally convenient. The historic town of Galena is only 6 miles to the west, while the Diamond Jo casino and the Dubuque Dog Track and casino are only a little further down the road.

Imagine that you have returned from a full day of golf, tennis, boating, gambling, shopping, skiing or any of the activities that historic Galena has to offer. It's time to sink into the spa on the screened porch and enjoy a spectacular view of the unspoiled nature preserve that surrounds you. Watch the colors change as the sun moves over the horizon.
Although the area features some of the most spectacular golf in the country, this is not just a Summer house. In Fall, the changing colors are an attraction in themselves, while in Winter, the Chestnut Mountain Ski Resort is only minutes away and...
THE SPA IS KEPT HOT ALL YEAR!

About the host

Why they chose this property
After honeymooning in the Galena area and visiting for many years, we decided to purchase our own home there. We have not regretted our decision as we are excited to build many happy memories with our family and friends. We have rented many vacation homes and we have tried to give our house everything we thought was missing from the places we have rented. We hope all enjoy a stay as much as we enjoy being there.
What makes this property unique
Our home is conveniently located in the center of the Galena Territory/Eagle Ridge Resort complex. It is close to all amenities and on a main road, but it is located down a secluded ridge which gives it complete privacy. It is also adjacent to deep woods hiking trails. here have been more than a dozen deer in our backyard at one time and bald eagles have perched right outside our windows.
