The Jo Daviess County overnight maximum occupancy for The Eagle's Nest is 16 people (including children). This home is NOT pet-friendly. The Eagle's Nest is the largest private vacation rental home in the area with its extraordinary 12,000-square-foot interior.  It is one of the most exclusive and sought-after premier vacation rental properties in Galena. It is a one-of-a-kind "must-see/must-stay" property. As you enter the great room on the main level, you immediately feel the spaciousness and luxury. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide natural lighting and panoramic views of our surrounding wooded acreage. The great room's focal point is the floor-to-ceiling limestone wood-burning fireplace (wood supplied). The warmth of leather furniture surrounds it, as well as sizeable distinctive area rugs and natural hickory hardwood floors. To the left is an intimate library nook. The main level has an open-concept floor plan with twin dining tables (seating for 16) and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen. The L-shaped granite counter (seat 12) is perfect for buffet-style serving. Step out onto the 115-ft. main-level wood deck (tables and seating for 16), where you will find a 52-inch gas grill. Enjoy your favorite beverage, a barbeque, and the outdoors. The Eagle's Nest has 8 bedrooms: 4 bedrooms on the main level and 4 bedrooms upstairs.  Two bedrooms on the main level near the kitchen are handicap accessible, each with one king bed, a walk-in shower, and a soaking tub.  The remaining 6 bedrooms all feature 2 king beds. Every bedroom is decorated with Galena-themed décor, custom coverlets, pillow shams, and window coverings with a room-darkening feature. You will find extra blankets, down comforters, and pillows. Each en-suite bathroom has a jetted tub, two sinks, and a walk-in custom-designed tiled shower with 9 ft. ceilings. There is ample room in the lower level (4000 square feet) for your group to enjoy games, movies, and more.  The room has a 70" HD TV, pool table, poker table, air hockey, foosball, and ping-pong table. You will find a 27' bar with (seating for 13), three pub tables (seating for 12), a bar sink, dishwasher, beverage ware, an additional full-size refrigerator, and, available for your convenience, a laundry room. The southwest wall opens to the 70'patio with 4 double sliding glass doors. This will welcome guests onto the furnished patio for alfresco drinks and dining.  Enjoy a walk on the designated path through the private wooded property, or gather your friends/family and play volleyball on the sand court.

Reviewer Comments: Three generations of my family had a wonderful long weekend in the Eagle's Nest. The eight large master bedrooms, each with its own lux master bath, were a big hit. The large main floor and downstairs gathering spaces were perfect for all of us to relax and enjoy the weekend. The management company was great and very responsive to all our questions. ##### Daniel W.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place was PERFECT for our annual get together. SO MUCH ROOM!!! It was wonderful to never have to wait to get into the shower!! The house was very clean. One of the AC units was not working properly and this was handled within the hour. Easy process for communication with the owner/rental co. Beds were very comfortable and there was no expanse spared on the linens/decor/furnishings. I would highly recommend this home for your next large group get together!!! We all LOVED the Eagles Nest. ##### ferbs97 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael M. 21 Jul 2025 #### Guys Trip Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful.

Reviewer Comments: Cannot recommend this property enough. From initial booking and working with the owners, through check out, this was an A+ experience. I had a large group of guys in town for a golf trip and this property was beyond expectations for that type of trip. Massive common areas allow space for everyone to hang out while 8 bedrooms and 14 king size beds give everyone the rest and privacy needed at the end of the day. Hope I can put together another group of this size to get back as soon as possible! ##### Michael M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori M. 20 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home for a family getaway This home was so spacious, well maintained, and had everything we needed.

We held our family Christmas at this home and it was an absolutely PERFECT setting!! The house is large but it feels very homey and warm. It brought 3 generations together for 3 days. We enjoyed tons of memories, but the best part was watching the youngest generation got to play with each other for an extended period of time, which makes their friendship stronger. Everything about the house was perfect and we hope to come back again next year.

We absolutely loved it. None of us could get over how nice this house was. The bedrooms and bathrooms are beautifully decorated and there is a ton of room in each. We walked, golfed, played pool, played games, and each evening ended up in the hot tub. We all pitched in and cooked on the large, clean grill on the deck. We stayed 3 nights and none of us wanted to leave. Overall it was the best home we have ever rented. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peggy M. 28 Mar 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous House Our family joined us to stay at this wonderful house for the weekend. The house was amazing. The weather was cloudy and cool so the amenities in the house were important and we were not disappointed. The game room on the lower level engaged our grandchildren all weekend. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and pans so we could cook for our group. Lots of room to spread out, use the hot tub, explore downtown Galena. We had a great time in this spectacular house. We would love to rent this house again. ##### Peggy M.

While the weather did not cooperate for snow sports, the house provided a picture-perfect winter retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The historical town of Galena is just up the road and DuBuque is just about 25 miles away (very cool National River Museum). For those who like to gamble, there's even a casino on the Mississippi. The house construction and decor is first rate (they even provided Christmas decor). All of the families in our party LOVED their stay. Thanks for a wonderful getaway! ##### Sylvia M.

When it came time to organize my family reunion there was only one rental property that could meet our expectations. The Eagle’s Nest with its outstanding décor and massive spaces indoor and out, provided the greatest venue at a price that could not be matched by any other property. Do yourself a favor and visit the Eagle’s Nest to see firsthand this exceptional property.

The kitchen is well equipped, the perfect layout for serving and plenty of seating. The game room down stairs was put to good use and benefited all ages. We took advantage of sand volleyball (although keep the ball in bounds or you'll be chasing it into the woods) and there's a golf court right down the road! The bedrooms were comfortable and beautiful, and it was a short drive to Galena for a little shopping. If you have a family member with mobility problems, keep in mind there isn't an elevator. We love this place and will be back for our next reunion - it's perfect! ##### beth s.

The Eagle's Nest was perfect for our extended family gathering. The property is beautiful and beyond spacious! We were able to spend time together as a large group and also break off into smaller units to enjoy the game room, hot tub, fire pit and variety of conversation (seating) areas. The kitchen had every cooking and serving piece needed and more. The decks overlooked woods that offered a secluded feel and we enjoyed grilling out. The bedrooms and baths were luxurious and private. Everything was topnotch. Bill and Sue were very helpful throughout. A great time was had by all! (A nice hike with Mississippi River and slough views-- Casper Bluff Land and Water Reserve) ##### Lori W.

It sits high on a bluff with great views. The house was very comfortable and clean. Huge kitchen area. Massive basement with pool table, ping pong, air hockey and foosball. Walk out to the jacuzzi and sit in the woods under the stars. We spent one full day at Chestnut Mountain skiing. It's about a 20 min drive. There was 18 in our group and there was room to accomodate at least 10 more. We loved this house and would highly reccomend it to anyone trying to get a large group together. ##### SVGuLv/m0GXOZujsp68yPsQE1yLPtGq0GHnGEicVUO6cOQpZ9/WocY/8FVhGkM8zb4jDjjnjc07ix832XN26HvlTNnmdEUcedd9o S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kai D. 27 Feb 2018 #### Amazing House equipped w/EVERYTHING The Eagle's Nest at Galena Area Rentals was amazing. I rented the home for the weekend for a birthday retreat getaway and the pictures do it absolutely no justice. Bill was so helpful and responded very quickly to any assistance I needed. I was even able to speak with his wife when Bill was sleep when I called. The house is fully equipped literally with ANY AND EVERYTHING you could possibly need. All of my guest was so pleased with the house. We had a great time and was able to relax. If you're looking for a rental property in Galena with friendly owners, The Eagle's Nest is it!!!! Thanks again Bill. ##### Kai D. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 29 Nov 2012 #### Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! for Weddings Everything about the place is bigger and better than it seems in pics. Bill was great to work with. If you are considering a Wedding, you will have questions and a lot of unique needs and Bill was incredibly patient and helpful. We had an incredible experience with great feedback from everyone staying in the house or attending the ceremony. Have everything in one place made it unique and special. Hay Day Catering and Family Liquor were both familiar with the house and helped make it as easy as possible. Guests raved about the food. We are already planning a family vacation/holiday. Can't say enough positive about the house and all the amenities.

Our family vacation was fabulous and only made more special by your home. Many memories were made and laughs shared during our stay. The game room saw its share of action well into the early hours of each morning, much to the glee of our youngest children! Our entire extended family loved the vacation and would love to return to the area and to the Eagle's Nest. Thank you for your hospitality and graciousness in answering all of our questions. P.S. The only suggestion we have is the addition of a ping pong table. We are an EXTREMELY competitive family! :) This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### oT6jpCiSCyjQBcGD2IfyhRPXZp5rT+G9g1Nzg2Hw3goxWzGfZVAImSDmvqqzeapKwErTNlOWhU8KyONwJ5wLZCHds38HsYpArCnl o. 17 Oct 2012 #### Eagle's Nest Review - 10-11-12 to 10-13-12 Everything about this property was accurately addressed in the brochure & on the internet. It was beautiful & well appointed in every corner! My family was in awe of the beautiful place I had arranged for them to stay while in Galena. The beds were fantastic as well as kitchen amenities & the property surrounding the house itself couldn't have been more beautiful. The bedrooms were lovely & the lower level provided hours of entertainment for our guests. Everything was lovingly maintained & it showed. The hot tub was enjoyed as well. My interaction with the owner was very professional & he worked with me whenever I had a question. We would most definitely recommend this property to anyone who needs a large, beautiful space in Galena. Restaurants we would recommend would be Fried Green Tomatoes as well as their catering service and Hay Day Catering too. Golfing at Eagle Ridge and shopping are a must. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay at The Eagle's Nest! ##### oT6jpCiSCyjQBcGD2IfyhRPXZp5rT+G9g1Nzg2Hw3goxWzGfZVAImSDmvqqzeapKwErTNlOWhU8KyONwJ5wLZCHds38HsYpArCnl o. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Tesla MedBed Center, East Dubuque](https://www.expedia.co.uk/East-Dubuque-Hotels-Tesla-MedBed-Center.h1076011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Napoleon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Chicago/Aurora](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Aurora-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-ChicagoAurora.h691142.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information)
