Beautiful property in Galena

The house was perfect for our family with 2 grandkids and dogs with us. The space was great and hot tub was amazing with the view. The owners were so nice and communication was excellent. The grandkids loved going for walks on the property and seeing the animals. Would definitely recommend

What a view!

All 10 of us had a blast in "The Territories". So much to see and do in the area. The rec. center was first class, and the view off the deck in the evening at sunset is sublime. Even our 6 year old was impressed. Galena is fun, with lots of restaurants and historic sites. Alpine slide and the goat walk were very popular also. Our group is already planning for next year.

Lovely Family Trip

The Octagon house was a spacious retreat for my family getaway. We loved the swim passes to the Galena Territory Pool. Joe meeting us upon arrival and giving a tour of the ranch was also amazing. The only complaint would be the broken dishwasher top shelf and the limited silverware and hot pads in the kitchen. There were 12 of us and we cooked a lot! The 20 minute drive into Galena was gorgeous and we enjoyed all the shopping the food in town. Great weekend getaway was had by all!

Response from VrboOwner on 28 June 2023

So glad you enjoyed the house and all the ranch and neighboring areas had to offer. Guest seem to be hard on the dishwasher racks. We have the new roller. And many guest toss silverware and/or move it to others houses on ranch if they rent more than one house.....so we frequently have to re-supply.

Family Weekend Getaway

We had a large family getaway here in October & had a great time. The house could probably use some updating but it served our purposes perfectly. It was warm and cozy. The tenants right before us did some damage so things were still getting repaired as we arrived but I think everything was addressed. The best part of the stay though was the land with all the animals And Joe, the ranch hand. He was amazing. Anything that came up, he handled. He asked about our plans and gave us some tips and tricks to avoid traffic. All around really nice guy and was such a great guide for the property and surrounding area. Thanks, Joe!

Good for a large group

Nice property in a beautiful setting. A couple of the items that were supposed to be available were not, but Joe got them for us. Dishwasher top rack needs to be repaired/replaced. Need a supply of knives in the cutlery drawer. Otherwise, the accommodations were fine. Had some noisy neighbors one night, but otherwise it was a peaceful retreat.

Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2021

Response from VrboOwner on 28 June 2023

So apparently Joe got you the items that weren't available? I will talk to him and find out what went down. We will definitely have to get the new roller for the top rack of the dishwasher replaced when the part finally gets here. We will hunt down the missing knives.....probably at the neighboring house or party barn? Glad you had a great time enjoying all the ranch has to offer, including the view, ponds, trails, golf course, ball fields, hot tub and owners club amenities etc....and how about that 2000 square foot deck? Glad you had a great time..... Peace, Mark

Nice house, rude owner

We rented this for a long weekend because of the number of bedrooms. The owner tried to change our reservation to a smaller house and became very rude when we insisted on the original reservation. The house itself was lovely and we enjoyed the weekend, however there was no information provided at the house. Usually there is a binder of information and local attractions, but there was nothing. We had to hunt to even find the keys. The listing is misleading.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Oct 2024

First of all, we are glad you liked the house (and the property?) and enjoyed your weekend. I am kind of confused by your review and comments. I offered you an upgrade to a much larger house with the same amount of bedrooms, but had five full bathrooms and was just recently remodeled with a new kitchen etc. It had a nice hottub in a screened in porch attached to the house etc....Perhaps if it seems to good to be true one can get suspicious. Anyway you (your group) seemed to want your privacy.. We usually meet people when they check in and go over the protocol and provide an orientation to the house and the 300 acre property. A meeting time was never set up. Again, sorry for trying to put you into a large and better house. Peace, Mark
