Great stay in Eagle Ridge

We had a friend’s group consisting of 3 couples staying in Eagle Ridge for a Galena getaway weekend. We found this property to be very comfortable, and worked out great allowing each couple to have their own bathroom. The kitchen and common areas are perfect for playing games, communal cooking, and socializing. Beds are comfy and the fireplaces and hot tub were really appreciated on a cool weekend. Be aware the property and community have quite a few rules: for example, no shoes in the house, no outside lights after dark, no outside noise after 10 pm, must shower prior to using the hot tub and sign a separate hot tub rider. There are fees associated with violating these rules. We did not run into any issues with the rules, just make sure you pay attention to the rental agreement. The host was very responsive and even included a welcome gift upon our arrival. The checkout list is reasonable, you do need to take garbage to the central collection location about 1 mile away using your key card. We recommend this property for a great weekend in Galena!

Spring break getaway

This was a perfect easy spring break getaway. We live 2 1/2 hours away. It was a great escape! I have four boys and a girl, ages 9 to 17. We did a few things that I love doing when visiting a new town - we went on a nearby hike, walked through the town, went out to eat (Campeche had super food and service!), and got treats from a local bakery. (which I cannot remember the name of, but were absolutely delicious). However, by far the best part of our trip was our homebase. Mark’s place is big and beautiful. It had everything we needed. The nearby owners club was a big hit. My boys spent several hours on the basketball court, getting in pick up games with other kids. We also enjoyed the game room (ping pong, pool & more), and the swimming pool. But perhaps our favorite part was all coming back and huddling in the hot tub at Mark’s house. Amazing! We saw deer in the backyard, and gazed at beautiful night skies filled with some of the brightest stars I have ever seen. I highly recommend!

Family stay for my wedding.

My Family rented a couple properties in eagle ridge for the weekend of my wedding. This house was for my immediate family and for me the bride to stay at the night before the wedding. The house was perfect. We were able to invite nearby family over for pizza, a game night and it’s where the girls got ready the morning of the wedding. We talked with the hosts ahead of time to make sure this was ok and they were responsive and assure that wouldn’t be a problem, they also allowed us to do a late check out for a reasonable fee. My parents were able to bring their dog Buster and really appreciated all the little details for him. We also appreciated the bedroom on the first floor with its own bathroom so my parents didn’t have to do stairs. The house was clean and came with thoughtful touches like bathrobes, little hotel toiletries and extra towels by the door for the hot tub. I didn’t get to use it, but my sister in law said it was nice. The only small ways to improve the guest experience would be that the grill is small and took an incredibly long time to cook anything. But that’s what ordering pizza is for! And that we didn’t have enough trash bags. You have to drive your trash to a refuse center and this is a bit of a hassle but the same for the whole area. I would come back here with my family, we had a great time thank you!

Family Christmas

We celebrated a late family Christmas weekend at this beautiful property. It was definitely one of the nicest and cleanest properties we have stayed at, right down to the bedding and kitchenware, it even included dog dishes, treats and a dog bed. I can't say again how new and clean everything was, would definitely stay here again!

Best Sleep Ever

Surrounded by the beauty of Galena countryside, in a perfect setting. The house had everything, but getting a good night sleep is always a major priority for us on vacation and this house has the most comfortable beds! We loved sitting around the fireplace every evening, as well. If I had one suggestion it would be that a Keurig coffee machine be added. Otherwise, it was one of the best VRBO stays we have had in sixty years.
