**Enjoy Golf Benefits** Guests of this home have access to our Golf Membership at Eagle Ridge, which provides preferred rates and tee times at The General, The North Course, and the South Course! Contact us for details.

Bedrooms - Each of the three floors has its own bedroom and bathroom to keep everyone together but maintain privacy. Head upstairs to our queen bedroom with a double sink bathroom and shower. On your way down, you’ll pass by our nook with a queen bed. On the main level, you’ll find a bedroom with 2 twin beds, full bath w/tub & shower. Step down to our lower level to another queen bedroom with a full bath and shower. The family room has a pull-out queen couch. Check out the free washer and dryer.

Kitchen—Our kitchen (and gas grill) have everything you need—just bring your food. Gather at our dining room table for 8, breakfast bar for 3, or screened porch—with a three-sided forest view. Afterward, stop by our Coffee Bar, then step out onto our deck to relax in our backyard forest.

Indoor entertainment—You won’t want to miss our retro-themed basement rec room, with classic games from the ’60s. Older kids can check out our skeeball and foosball games, and younger kids will enjoy boxes of toys or choose from dozens of DVDs. Need to kick back? Our TVs have over 170 channels.

Outdoor fun - Enjoy our safe, peaceful backyard playland. Kids will enjoy the play gym, exploring nature, and playing with outdoor toys. Need to unwind? Soak in our new hot tub, share stories around the fire pit, or enjoy nature from our comfy couches. Feel adventurous? Hike through our private walking trails and try to spot all nine hidden planets or enjoy a game of corn hole (bags).

Nook & Office - Time for a break? Head upstairs to our namesake loft - Stargazer's Nook! Snuggle up with a book, take a nap on the queen mattress, or gaze into the night sky through the three walls of tall windows. Need to work? Use our free high-speed internet and office space.

It includes an indoor, outdoor, and kiddie pool, fitness room, game room, basketball, tennis & pickleball courts, snack bar, and playground.

Great Place To Stay!

The place was well kept and had nice views! The property owner was very responsive and helpful! Gave us great ideas for the future as well! There was a bedroom on the first floor which was great for my dad and his bad knees. The only issue is the toilet were extremely difficult to flush and couldn’t find the blow up mattress.

Great accommodations! It worked great for all of the family to meet and spend time inside & out. It was easy for our 93 year Dad and Mom to move around on the main floor. The teenagers enjoyed playing skeet ball & the fire pit. We were close to the pool and easy to get to down town Galena.

50 Birthday Celebration

My sisters and Mom decided on a girls weekend in Galena to enjoy wine, shopping, and of course hot tub time for my oldest sister’s 50th. This place was perfect for a small group! The nook was popular for star gazing, the hot tub was delightful in the cold weather, the location to downtown Galena and the wineries in the area was great, and the Skeeball in the house was fun. We are already talking about our next stay!!

Friends retreat

Upon arrival we explored the entire house and fell in love. We ended up ordering in and enjoying the hot tub, fire pit and game room. Saturday we went downtown and introduced Cosmo to everyone interested. We had a great time and it was fun to have a goal for the evening.

Great Home

My family stayed at this home and my brother at a home down the road. The 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms were amazing. The kitchen and porch was big enough to cook meals together and we could all eat at one time. The area offered lots to do and hot tub was wonderful. The vacation destination was a hit!

This home was very clean and well-maintained. We cooked several meals and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The pool was only a 5 minute drive and we enjoyed using the hot tub every evening. We enjoyed kayaking, zip lining, going on the Alpine Slide, and shopping in town.

Great family getaway

The house was great! Extremely clean and well stocked kitchen. The location is close to the multiple golf courses, owners club with pool, and a short drive to downtown Galena. There were toys for the kids and games for all ages. The screened porch was a favorite, especially this time of year when the bugs are getting bad. We very much appreciated all of the thoughtful touches and will look forward to another visit!

A Great Little Getaway

Beautiful scenery all around, and the night sky looks amazing (especially once the outdoor lights go out at 10). My group did not, unfortunately, get to visit the community pool or any other amenities for the location, but everyone had an amazing time between visiting downtown Galena and having fun at the house. Plenty of games and toys for the family to play! We're hoping to be able to book this location again for next year, the kids are already asking about it!

Couldn’t have been happier - the house was exactly as advertised. Plenty of space for everyone to hang out and enjoy. The fooseball table was a ton of fun, the hot tub was wonderful, and there were lots of toys to keep the 2-year-old we had with us entertained.
