Spent the week of the fourth there and had a nice stay. Enjoyed the location to the south course, marina, owners club and downtown. The rental was clean. My only recommendation would be to have more pillows.
Fantastic! This is the cleanest villa I have stayed in over the years at Eagle Ridge. It is also very well thought out and cozy. Communicating with our host was great; he responded very quickly. Check in was easy. There is plenty of seating in the living room, and lots of extra blankets in the closet. There are so many games to play, and puzzles too. Lots of guides for trails, bird books and things to do in the area. The wildlife is beautiful; we saw deer from our living room. The kitchen is equipped with not only a traditional coffee maker but also a keurig along with a variety of k cups. Appliances all seem to be updated/new. We will definitely be back.
We come to stay in Galena a few tines a year. This was our first stay at this condo and we loved it! Perfectly clean with everything we needed! We will be back!
We really enjoyed our stay. It was quiet and relaxing. Our rental had everything we needed. We really felt at home. We would definitely stay hear again. Thank you!
Very kind, thoughtful and helpful owner made this a lovely stay. He was able to accommodate a last minute request for a late checkout and was very prompt in his reply.
Place is very clean, well appointed and centrally located in terms of local activities.
Would definitely recommend this spot.
My 2 friends and I enjoyed a short getaway here. Very clean. Easy communication with owner. We were able to check in early which was helpful. Short country drive to downtown Galena. We really enjoyed the fireplace. Thanks for a nice stay!
This unit worked out very well for my family of four. Everything is just as described on the listing. Everything was very clean and the owners were very flexible and easy to work with. The location is nice and we really enjoyed access to all that the Galena territory has to offer. we used the marina the golf course and the owners complex pools. Our small dog enjoyed the unit as well. Would definitely stay here again.
I picked this property because of the gas fireplace. It was great -- turned on and off with remote control. Making a wood fire is too much work. The unit was very clean. I've stayed in the Eagle Ridge complex several times and the units are all pretty much the same
I enjoyed my time here. The location is quite nice. The property has a lot to offer and we were able to relax rather easily here. The property is well stocked with supplies so we brought some groceries and everything else was provided; which was very convenient. Check-in and out went smoothly. Check-out instructions were few & easy to follow. Definitely appreciate the host's thorough and prompt communication throughout our stay. If we had any issues, I'm sure they would've assisted us but we had none whatsoever. And that's largely due to how well it is maintained and professionally run. Also appreciate them leaving the owner's club passes and all the helpful recommendations for the area.The electronics/appliances look new and function well. I slept in the downstairs bedroom and the pillows there are on the firmer side. So I recommend fluffing them up or bringing your own if you like a softer pillow. The Smart TV's have the usual Smart TV channels so you'll want to bring your streaming login info if you want to do a lot of TV viewing. Everything else worked great and based off of this successful experience, I would stay here again.
Very nice townhouse within the Galena territories. Owner was responsive to questions we had. The views from Woodland restaurant are drop dead gorgeous. Great place for a getaway.

Liked: Communication, location, listing accuracy
My only complaint would be how thin the toilet paper was. It seemed to be a theme everywhere in Galena though. Really enjoyed the time spent there. Lovely town
Me and my husband were celebrating our anniversary and this was great location to Galena , Thunder Bay falls, and many other spots. The place was cozy and perfect for us.
Planned a quick overnight stay with grandsons. Communication was great with owner. Place was easy to get to, and just like the pictures. Would book this condo again in a heartbeat.

My first impression of the rental was the clear, helpful, friendly communication with the owner -- both online and on phone. That made our weekend enjoyable even before arriving at the townhouse. And once in the house, we thought the layout of rooms was perfect -- bedrooms on two floors, each with a full bath. Everything neat and clean. The place really sparkled for us. We enjoyed the light cooking we did and times together on the patio deck. All in all, a delightful stay. So much to do in the area as well. Our teenage grandson loved the amenity pass to the club house for swimming and weight lifting. The weekend was everything we could hope for. .
