Even more than I thought we were getting
This property has absolutely gorgeous views. We were there in late March..not the prettiest time of year in Illinois..but it was still stunning. I don't think the pictures and listing (while very nice) do it justice..its even prettier in person. The house is a unique 70s era ocatagon house, with comfortable furnishings and an open kitchen/living area on the main floor which is ideal when you are on vacation and want to hang out with your friends and family but still have to cook. The ranch hand, Joe was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed hiking around the property, seeing all the farm animals, playing soccer at the bottom of the hill, playing ping pong. We spent a day shopping/eating in Galena, which was about 20 minutes away, and used the amenities at the owner's club (basketball, indoor pool, horseback riding). It was a great time and a very comfortable house.

Beautiful property in Galena
The house was perfect for our family with 2 grandkids and dogs with us. The space was great and hot tub was amazing with the view. The owners were so nice and communication was excellent. The grandkids loved going for walks on the property and seeing the animals. Would definitely recommend

Octagon house
We stayed in the octagon house and had a great time with family. We explored Elizabeth for the first time and went to E-town coffee shop, Highway 21 brewery and sat outside listening to live music, went to three sisters sweet shop for ice cream, and old time saloon for burgers and drinks. the house is in a great location to explore the amazing little town of Elizabeth as well as main street in Galena.

What a view!
All 10 of us had a blast in "The Territories". So much to see and do in the area. The rec. center was first class, and the view off the deck in the evening at sunset is sublime. Even our 6 year old was impressed. Galena is fun, with lots of restaurants and historic sites. Alpine slide and the goat walk were very popular also. Our group is already planning for next year.

Great retreat
We enjoyed the quiet, the territorial views, the stars, the fireplace, the hot tub, and visiting the animals down on the farm. Looking forward to a return visit!

Great Weekend Getaway from Chicago
This property is the perfect getaway for a group of friends looking to get out of Chicago. The house was very spacious and oriented toward catering to larger groups (we had 8 people total). The check in/check out process was very easy. The whole group had fun on the 9-hole golf course, especially watching the cows! We went into the town of Galena for a day which was wonderful (about a 25 min drive). Great shopping, restaurants, etc. The location was close enough to town but far enough in the country that the stars at night and rolling hills with fall foliage were perfect. There was a wedding happening on property that weekend and we hardly heard a peep as our house was so far away. This was an awesome stay and getaway and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good place for a larger group!
