Great place! Hope we can go again

We rented the house for our parents' 50th anniversary celebration. Everything about the place was great! Kitchen, grill, and cooking amenities were perfect. There was a lot of space with comfortable beds and nice rooms. The location was perfect with pool and gym access, and lots of golf options. And the service was excellent, with all our questions and concerns being answered quickly. Hope we can go again.

Wonderful Getaway!!

We had an absolute blast. The house was even better than stated. The large private playground, bar in the basement, and the fire pit were great surprises. The fire pit is perfectly placed tucked away in the nook of the rock ensuring comfortable use. We can’t say enough about the house and the host. We had a couple in each bedroom and a pair in the loft with plenty of room and no complaints. We will definitely be back.

Great cabin & amenities

After multiple attempts for a family vacation, we just stayed in Illinois & went to Galena. The property is really comfortable because the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, porch/deck & dining areas are all spacious. Bathrooms for the 10 of us proved very adequate. We loved the fire pit & the kids enjoyed the swing set. We took advantage of the “owners pool” & also visited local sites/activities (golf, boating, Mountain slide, zip line).

Exceeded our Expectations

I was part of 4 couples who rented this log home for a golf weekend at Eagle Ridge. The home was beautiful, location perfect, and the weather cooperated to give us an amazing weekend. Ginger was easy to work with and responsive when asked a question. I cannot say enough about the home and location. If you are going to this area for golf, skiing, or leaf peeping, you should feel good about renting this home.

About the host

Hosted by Tranquil Trails Vacation Rentals

Host profile image
After years dreaming and planning for a home that would remain in our family for generations, we finally decided to build a log house in Galena and, as they say, the rest is history! When building this home we were a family of 9. We are now a family of 18 and continue to enjoy every precious moment in this wonderful retreat. We wanted a home where lifelong family memories would be born… mission accomplished! We have celebrated many specially planned occasions as well as moments of sheer spontaneous laughter in this dream home and we aren’t finished yet! There is always something new to see and discover in this lush and lovely area. Introducing Galena to extended family and many friends has been a joy in itself.

Most of this home was handcrafted by our family of construction artists and remains our pride and joy. Now we would like to open our home to other families and groups of friends to forge traditions of their own. It is surprisingly easy to create loving memories when you are able to relax and leave the stress of your real life behind!

Why they chose this property

After years of consideration and planning, we decided building a custom home in the Galena Territory would be the best choice for our family. We anticipated the instant relaxation we would feel when walking in the front door. We carefully designed this home to provide the indoor and outdoor space required by our growing clan and our desire to remain close as a family.

Situated in a quiet, heavily wooded area of the Territory, our location offered the connection to nature that we desired. It would be a challenge to find a more breathtaking view of nature and it’s wildlife than the one built into this cabin.

What makes this property unique

Our home is a perfect base for activity filled days or lazy, do-nothing days! This retreat offers large groups the space to gather and reinforce family and friend connections, to share good times and some hearty laughter. If every now and then you would like a little privacy, there are plenty of nooks where you can hide away for a few moments to re-connect with yourself!
