The view from this property was excellent. However that was it. The inside needs a LOT of work. There are a number of things wrong with this property: the large burner on the stove did not work, the fan lights did not work because there were no bulbs, there was a crack in the ceiling and paint was coming off, seals on the window were broken and you could not see out, Lights burned out in the dining roon ficture, some blinds did not open, there were holes in the walls that needed repair, the dishwasher was not secured and nearly fell down when we opened it and paint was peeling in the living room. The table was dated, cheap and we did not feel comfortable sitting on the dining room chairs. We had the perception that the owner was trying to generate as much cash from this rental but didn't want to maintain it. In addition the only condiments were salt and peper. We will never rent this property again. Unlike previous VRBO rentals, the communication on getting into the house was lacking. No code was sent, VRBO would not pick up the phone but the owner did respond when we called.

Golf course Townhome
The location area and views of this townhome are fantastic, as it sits on a hill overlooking a beautiful golf course. The interior was clean, but definitely needs some updating and repairs. The carpeting is very worn & dirty and the upper bath has paint peeling off the wall. The windows also need replacing as many were foggy from leaking issues. With a little TLC, this townhome could be a perfect rental.

Everything was great. Not use to Roku TV so called host and he got back to us within mins. My son and family stayed in a condo next drive down. We had such a wonderful time and went downtown twice. We had an end condo on the golf course with beautiful views. Very quiet and peaceful.

Great location but place really needs some TLC
This place is in a great location. Was not clear from the online that it’s in fact a golf villa not a stand alone. It really needs some care and attention and is not well equipped or maintained. Host was totally non responsive to a few questions. we’ve been coming to Eagle Ridge for thirty years so know what the standards are and this is way below average

Stay
Loved the area it was beautiful, was told there would be three beds only two so someone had to sleep on the couch and one on air mattress, the bedding of one of the beds was full of hair so not sure if the bedding was washed, does need some up dating cracks in the ceiling and hole in the bathroom wall. It would have been nice to have a bigger patio set lucky we had extra chairs in the car. The pool was great, golf course was beautiful. Was disappointed with beds and the bedding we had to was all the bedding since we were sure if it was washed, need more towels and washcloths.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 Aug 2023
Thank you for your review and for staying at my home. I'm sorry you were confused about the number of beds. As our listing says, this is a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom townhouse with no sofa sleeper. There is detail about the beds in the listing. It says, "This home has a queen bed in the upper-level bedroom and another queen bed in the main-level bedroom. While this home will accommodate 4 guests sleeping in beds, the home is licensed for up to 6 guests, but there is NO sofa sleeper." We have an inflatable mattress for extra guests. If you have six guests (unless there are small children), we recommend you look for a 3-bedroom townhouse. About the sheets: on the kitchen counter we leave an instruction sheet that says in bold lettering at the top, "We can resolve almost any issue while you’re here. We can’t do anything to help after you’re gone! Please contact us if anything is wrong." I live 5 minutes from this home. If you had contacted me immediately, I could have resolved the issue for you in 20 minutes or less. In previous reviews, we have never had a complaint about the cleanliness of our sheets. Thanks again for staying at my home, and I'm glad you loved the beautiful Galena area.

Great townhouse!
My sister and I came to Galena for a wedding at the Eagle Ridge resort. The location was perfect on the South golf course! Access to the owners club another fantastic plus! The townhouse was so clean, great set up on two floors, very nicely appointed with everything you need to cook. And the view from the patio was spectacular. We absolutely loved the place. If i had a wishlist I would just ask for nicer outdoor patio furniture and a screen door so we could keep the patio door open. The little metal table and chairs are just not conducive for sitting and enjoying the beautiful outdoor setting. Minor opportunities compared to all the place had to offer.

Pleased but not overjoyed
Our townhouse was clean but could use some TLC. Same items mentioned in older reviws are still needing attention. Peeling paint; missing screen on patio door; only 2 chairs on deck; 2 or 3 window blinds that can't be opened/closed. All in all adequate but not what we expected from a "premier host."

Town house had lots of room. Clean. Easy checking. Communication was great. Only negative item is wish the parking area and walkways had better,brighter lighting. That's probably up to the association?

Thank your staying at my home and for leaving a review. Yes, the parking lot lights are controlled by the townhome association. They provide a safe and well-lighted parking lot and walkways, but they may not be as bright as your lights at home. This home is located in The Galena Territory, which is a Dark Skies Community dedicated to reducing light pollution. You can see the stars clearly here at night, and it's an atmosphere that we really want to preserve. The Dark Skies project has more information online if you wish to know more. Thanks again!

Fantastic stay!
My bestie and I surprised my mom and her best friend with a weekend stay here. I told them I got a small motel. They were so shocked and absolutely loved it. It was perfect for us. We didn’t use the kitchen (because they didn’t know we’d have one) but the beds were nice and firm. Place was clean. Great views! Affordable!

This unit was meticulously maintained. Apartment was attractive and modern with fireplace and well-equipped kitchen. The biggest surprise was the beautiful scenic views throughout this location. Pictures don't do justice to the incredible views and gorgeous landscaping throughout this area. The clubhouse had a beautiful pool and gym and game room which we loved which were almost empty! Would definitely come back again!

We stayed two nights at the townhouse. It is located in a quiet community inside Eagle Ridge Resort. We had access to the golf course, Members pool and lounge, and beautiful trails. We recommend this place for any friends or family going to visit Galena for the beauty and peacefulness of nature. The stargazing is exceptional.
