Girls Weekend
We love the Galena Territory, and we loved this home! This home was exactly as described. The rooms are spacious and very clean (and we're very picky when it comes to what people consider clean). The furnishings and decor in the home are beautiful. So many items we kept saying to ourselves that I'd love in my own home. Such nice touches. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with everything you could possibly need to make meals at home and all the little extras that you don't find in most rentals these days (extra bath, bedding, and laundry supplies) were very much appreciated. Basement had plenty of entertainment to keep everyone busy with the rain, as well as heading to the Owner's Club to use the pool. Lia was extremely timely with any questions and accommodations to our schedule. Wish we lived closer but would absolutely choose to stay in Lia's home again. Mother Nature didn't exactly cooperate for our outdoor plans in downtown Galena. All the more reason why we were so grateful that our time stuck inside could be spent in a great home and in the beautiful Galena Territory.

Great Couples’ Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at Owl’s Stay. The leaves were changing and we felt like we were at our own autumn hideaway. The house had all the space and amenities we needed. The fire pit is not as far from the house as it appears in the photos and was a great place to just hang out. All the couches were super cozy and the table big enough for dinners and games! We had five adult couples and spent most of our time at the house but it was a short drive to Apple picking and wine tasting as well. Lastly, the owner is very responsive and available. She will handle any issues so no worries! Book & Enjoy!

It is a beautiful home in a quiet setting, perfect for old friends to have a relaxing time. We were 11 classmates who gather once a year to catch up.

Perfect Galena Getaway for the Family!
This home was wonderful and had everything necessary to provide the family with a peaceful getaway. Nestled in a wooded, quiet and private culdesac under the starry sky, yet close enough to the territory entrance to provide convenience. Lia was incredibly attentive, friendly and accommodating. The kitchen was also very well-equipped with everything.

Everything we wanted!
A group of college friends, we get together each year to remember one we lost too soon. This house was indeed secluded and still close to activities we wanted to do. It was clean, comfortable like home, and so relaxing. We all wanted to stay longer! Thank you for a lovely place to celebrate our friendship!

This home is a dream
We had 9 adults staying at this home for a niece's wedding in Apple River. It was perfect for our needs! The beds are comfortable, everything is as pictured, the host was responsive to texts, and the home is well located within Eagle Ridge. I highly recommend for a large group.

Great house for family Christmas!
The owner was very communicative before our trip and supplied us with lots of information. She was also available for questions during our stay. The house was amazing and offered tons of space for our family of 8 with lots of amenities. Everything was in good working condition, clean, and well stocked. We had a fabulous time!

Wonderful Holiday Stay with large family
Booked a weekend stay for family members to gather at one location with pets to celebrate Thanksgiving. The host was gracious in preparing the home for our Thanksgiving stay with Thanksgiving decorations and dishes. The home was beautiful, clean and gave a warm cozy welcome. We enjoyed playing pool, ping-pong, darts, and the hot tub. Plenty of room for all. Enjoyed sitting down at the fire pit looking up at the stars. This was truly a great holiday experience at a beautiful home. Located to Galena shops and the Apple River for a great nature hike or fishing.

Wonderful experience from booking through checkout. The property owner is very organized and provided comprehensive info that made for a stress-free experience.
