Great property

Our stay was great. The property was clean and had everything we needed. The layout is perfect for families. Each bedroom felt private from one another. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Vacation Home

This is a great place for a quiet weekend getaway or a family vacation. The master bathroom has a jacuzzi tub but it's not very big, I think that is the "Hot Tub" that is referenced in the amenities section of the listing.

Family stay

Clean and efficient house. Peaceful surroundings and beautiful scenery. Great setup for a dog. Best fire pit ever but bring a flashlight. Also, a very cool house layout. Thank you Scott and Paula.

AMAZING property!

We have three couples who have done this trip many times and this proptery is amazing. We not only had our own rooms and bathrooms but we had our own private areas. It was so cool! We've stayed at clean properties before but this one went above and beyond!! Loved the firepit!! Loved all the different areas to sit outside! It was an amazing place and we WILL book this property again!!

Pictures don’t do it justice

The property was perfect. It was huge as the title states, the pictures do not do it justice. The hosts were attentive, and sent messages to confirm that everything was great. We awoke one morning to a few inches of snow and it looked like a picturesque scene from a holiday movie. Perfect place for a getaway with the family.

Perfect Weekend

The house was perfect for our college group reunion. We had a terrific time. The kitchen and living room were perfect gathering spots for us! We thoroughly enjoyed the house and especially appreciate the extra hour at check out time to enjoy our last few minutes together! Just one thing to fix: The rug under the dining room table has a curled corner. We tripped often and had one fall over it.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Erickson

Host profile image
We are Scott & Paula Erickson. We have been coming to the Galena Territory for 40 years and have been property owners/hosts since 2016. We love the area and plan to eventually retire here. "Paula's Folly - Deux" is our second home in the Galena Territory.

Why they chose this property

The Galena Territory (and Eagle Ridge Resort, located withing the Galena Territory) is a very well managed resort with a wide variety of amenities and activities within and close by. It's a short drive to downtown Galena, a charming small town with many shops and restaurants. It's a 30-40 minute drive to Dubuque, IA a city of about 80,000 that has many other entertainment, shopping, and dining options.

What makes this property unique

This home has an open floor plan and a huge, 2-story stone fireplace in the living room. There are 3 decks/porches (1 screened in). The secondary ensuite is connected to the main living space via an enclosed bridge so that bedroom is very private. The home is nestled in the woods on a 2 acre lot. The nearest home is about 100 yards away and is mostly concealed from view by trees during the spring and summer. The home is at the end of a cul-de-sac street so there is very little car traffic. It is a very private and quiet location, perfect for relaxing.
