In 2021 The Galena Territory was named as a Dark Sky Friendly Development Of Distinction Award Recipient.

This beautiful Galena property was everything we hoped for! It was quiet, clean, and spacious—perfect for a long weekend friends’ getaway. The stunning fall scenery and peaceful neighborhood within a short walk to the waterfall created the ideal setting for a relaxing trip. The only drawback was the limited transportation options to and from downtown Galena, but we’ll plan ahead for that next time. We’re already looking forward to returning next year!

We arrived to a terrible smell in the house. We immediately knew it was a dead mouse. We contacted the owner and he sent someone to get the mouse out. During the night we woke to mice running around the bedroom. There were multiple, and could not sleep at all with the noise. We contacted the owner and he sent pest control out. Pest control found another dead mouse and said there was a problem and set multiple traps inside and out. They found holes in the house that the mice were entering. The host told us we probably want to find somewhere else to stay, same day? Very hard in Galena!!! Most of the time you would be out of luck. We were just lucky another host had a property they had just fixed up and first day on VRBO. Otherwise, we would have had to cut our vacation short. It’s crazy how clean the other place was in comparison. It was also very beautiful for less. It was a blessing in disguise. I just can’t recommend ever staying in this house.

Good for a family getaway.

Nice property for our family of 4. Two sitting areas are nice for extra space. Lots of games and books for a variety of ages. Kitchen is very well stocked. I loved the screened in porch- we saw a mama turkey and her babies and it was wonderful for bird watching. We always love having access to the owners club as well. The property owners were very responsive to questions and were even kind enough to let us check in early. It was a great stay and we thoroughly enjoyed the house!

Perfect Getaway

Very cute property surrounded by trees and sounds of nature. Access to the Owner's Club is amazing. We spent every day there swimming, playing ping pong, bags, and basketball. My husband really enjoyed the screened in porch and that is where he could enjoy the sounds and block out the sounds of the kids when they were being too loud I loved completing the 1000 piece puzzle while looking out at the beautiful backyard. Overall a wonderful trip in a picturesque setting.

Beautiful place to experience Galena

We were happy to see the pictures matched the home well. We started our days at the gym and game room at the Owners Club. My daughter and I swam laps one morning too. It was warm enough to sit on the deck in the afternoons and play games after shopping on Main St. This home was stocked well with paper products so we didn't have to run to grab anything. We enjoyed the jacuzzi tub in the primary bathroom too.
