About this property

The Territory's Most Affordable Stay!

Don't waste your money staying in a hotel when you can stay in a 1BR/1Bath townhome in the Galena Territory. We are within walking distance to the new spa at the resort!
Newly renovated kitchen has everything you need.
Our home sleeps four. The primary bedroom with new King bed, right across from the bathroom. Children or guests can spend the night with the full size sofa sleeper in the living room. This unit is great for a couple or small family.
Our rates are AFFORDABLE! We are private owners that do not have to pay commission to a rental company and can pass those savings on to our guests. Can't we all use a break right now?
The home has a fully stocked kitchen, with new appliances, and a deck, that is adjacent to the North Golf Course. We are across from Lake Galena and a short walk to the resort. So convenient!
A wood burning fireplace, satellite TV in living room and bedroom, free fast Wifi, and a double Jacuzzi tub are just a few of the amenities that will help you feel right at home. Everything is on one level-no stairs.
High speed wifi allows this unit to be a perfect work from home space.

this was a perfect place to stay for a sister weekend. The location, about 15 minutes outside of downtown GALENA, was set in the most beautiful rolling Hills area that we would've missed had we stayed downtown. The condo was decorated so cute, the bed was very comfortable and the host had included so many personal touches to make it feel like staying in a home. Having a deck to sit on at night was the best part. we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, had great communication with the host, and plan to return!

Absolutely Fabulous!! Loved getting away from town a bit. Fabulous meals at Eagle Ridge and so close to our condo. We were vendors at the Galena Country Fair. The host was such a great supporter of my fears being a first time vendor at this show and so detailed on directions to her great condo!!! BLESSED

Never stay in a hotel room again.

My wife and I stayed at this property for a Anniversary getaway. It was our 1st time staying at a VBRO property and we really enjoyed our stay. We usually stayed in motels or hotels, but not anymore. It was so nice to have our own private space with all the conveniences of home. It was very comfortable and quiet.

Lisa was so helpful. Not only did I book last minute she accommodated us with no problem. Her place is nice and cozy and has everything you need just like the comforts of home. Can't wait to go back. Thank you Lisa for the wonderful experience!

Secret Gem

This was a fantastic getaway. It's my opinion that anybody who has complained about Lisa's home in these reviews were likely impossible to please. Lisa's home was a secret gem in Galena and is the perfect place to recharge your batteries. Lisa obviously takes great pride and care in making sure her guests have a great stay. She legitimately cared about me, my wife, and my two pups having an affordable, wonderful getaway.

Decent

The property is old and the door was broken upon our arrival, but the inside was clean and all that we needed for the weekend. The sliding back door was also unlocked, which is somewhat of a safety concern considering anyone could have walked in before we got there.

Very Nice, beautiful spot for fall

Property was very nice. Heating was a little difficult to figure out and I decided not to try the fireplace because wasn't sure if damper was open, closed, or even where it was. It would have been nice to have had a fire while watching our Halloween movies. A panel fell off the bedroom vertical blinds when we first tried to open them. We just laid it flat on the bedroom floor and didn't touch the blinds again. However, we absolutely enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends.

Overall good value, a couple of suggestions (little things, but they make a difference):-Get a real toaster - the one supplied only allowed one piece of bread at a time- improve the lighting everywhere - bedroom was very dark-bed in the master - worn out and way too soft for virtually anyone. Back hurt the whole stay..

Territories gem

This townhome was perfect for the two of us. With such wonderful weather and the proximity of the Owner's Club, plus other outdoor activities, we were rarely inside. The deck is initmate and a shaded respite from the abundant sunshine. We did find it tough to leave the incredibly luxurious bed in the master, but we did and enjoyed all the amenities.

Anniversary get away!!

Beautiful property. The area is breathtaking. Lots to see and do. The property owner was very quick to respond and gave excellent suggestions on places to go. Will most definitely be staying here again. Would love to see this area in the fall season. I can just imagine the beautiful fall colors. The home itself is absolutely adorable. I loved the outdoorsy cabin motif in the home.
