Spent the week of the fourth there and had a nice stay. Enjoyed the location to the south course, marina, owners club and downtown. The rental was clean. My only recommendation would be to have more pillows.

Fantastic! This is the cleanest villa I have stayed in over the years at Eagle Ridge. It is also very well thought out and cozy. Communicating with our host was great; he responded very quickly. Check in was easy. There is plenty of seating in the living room, and lots of extra blankets in the closet. There are so many games to play, and puzzles too. Lots of guides for trails, bird books and things to do in the area. The wildlife is beautiful; we saw deer from our living room. The kitchen is equipped with not only a traditional coffee maker but also a keurig along with a variety of k cups. Appliances all seem to be updated/new. We will definitely be back.

My first impression of the rental was the clear, helpful, friendly communication with the owner -- both online and on phone. That made our weekend enjoyable even before arriving at the townhouse. And once in the house, we thought the layout of rooms was perfect -- bedrooms on two floors, each with a full bath. Everything neat and clean. The place really sparkled for us. We enjoyed the light cooking we did and times together on the patio deck. All in all, a delightful stay. So much to do in the area as well. Our teenage grandson loved the amenity pass to the club house for swimming and weight lifting. The weekend was everything we could hope for. .

Perfect for our family of 4

This unit worked out very well for my family of four. Everything is just as described on the listing. Everything was very clean and the owners were very flexible and easy to work with. The location is nice and we really enjoyed access to all that the Galena territory has to offer. we used the marina the golf course and the owners complex pools. Our small dog enjoyed the unit as well. Would definitely stay here again.

Gas fireplace

I picked this property because of the gas fireplace. It was great -- turned on and off with remote control. Making a wood fire is too much work. The unit was very clean. I've stayed in the Eagle Ridge complex several times and the units are all pretty much the same

Cozy Getaway

I enjoyed my time here. The location is quite nice. The property has a lot to offer and we were able to relax rather easily here. The property is well stocked with supplies so we brought some groceries and everything else was provided; which was very convenient. Check-in and out went smoothly. Check-out instructions were few & easy to follow. Definitely appreciate the host's thorough and prompt communication throughout our stay. If we had any issues, I'm sure they would've assisted us but we had none whatsoever. And that's largely due to how well it is maintained and professionally run. Also appreciate them leaving the owner's club passes and all the helpful recommendations for the area.The electronics/appliances look new and function well. I slept in the downstairs bedroom and the pillows there are on the firmer side. So I recommend fluffing them up or bringing your own if you like a softer pillow. The Smart TV's have the usual Smart TV channels so you'll want to bring your streaming login info if you want to do a lot of TV viewing. Everything else worked great and based off of this successful experience, I would stay here again.
