LOVE STAYING HERE

We absolutely loved our stay! The home had plenty of space for our group of 7 to spread out comfortably. The beds were cozy, the location was convenient to town, and the hot tub was such a great bonus. The private wooded backyard and quiet neighborhood made it a perfect, relaxing escape. Nothing!

Nice space to congregate. The policy of having to drive trash to a remote refuse collection location represented a disturbing lapse of hospitality. Why couldn't the cleaning crew handle that? Of note, you had to have a pass to use it so we couldn't even do it on our way out...we had to make a special trip to take out the garbage!! 😳 Phil, please revisit this ridiculous policy. On a positive note, management shipped wine glasses to us when we complained there were none.

Great stay! Coffee maker wasn't working, so we bought one and host was happy to reimburse us and apologized for the inconvenience. Beautiful property, hot tub was amazing, firepit was great, rooms and linens were clean, bathroom clean, everything as expected and the host was very responsive. Would absolutely stay again and highly recommend to anyone! We were 4 different families, with several kids. Plenty of room, great stay all around. Thanks again!!

We had a great time at Phil’s place. The home was clean and provided enough space for everyone. The layout was great and provided privacy when needed, but the large common areas made it easy to spend time together as a family. Would definitely recommend Phil’s place and we hope to stay again in the future!

The house in Galena was gorgeous! Extremely cozy and we felt safe and comfortable there. It was a breeze to take the Galena shuttle into town. Phil was very helpful and provided many local recommendations to check out. Thank you so much Phil :)

We really enjoyed this peaceful and relaxing lodge. We loved the cozy fireplace and spent some nice time on the screened in porch. Grilled steaks one evening. The woods behind the house was really beautiful and lush. The house worked well for our group with bedrooms on the three levels and enough bathrooms for all. We liked being in close proximity to golfing, boating and downtown Galena and enjoyed the beautiful drives. We would definitely stay again!

Everything was great! Phil was very communicative and detailed about directions. The only downside is that I had to collect the trash and drive it to a drop off location a few miles down the road. Other than that, we all really enjoyed our stay.

The house was beautiful and perfect for a girls weekend! There are so many places inside and outside to hang out and relax. We LOVED the fireplace and the hot tub. It’s about 15 minutes from downtown Galena which isn’t too bad. The only thing to be careful with, is this house is located in a neighborhood that’s surrounded by woods. So if you’re driving at night you need to really pay attention, there’s steep hills, lots of turns/hidden drives, wildlife and no street lighting. Parking can also be tight at this location if you have more than 3 vehicles and they’re bigger than a compact car. But overall this place is great, Phil was a wonderful host and answered any questions I had. I would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed a lovely 4 day Easter weekend with extended family ages 7 to 77, 10 in total with two family dogs also. We liked a family on each floor with their own bathrooms. Plenty of friendly walking places for the dogs. Enjoyed the pool, game room and basketball courts with the free passes at the owners club, spent a day in town enjoying the shops and restaurants. Hiked the lovely trails and cooked a big Easter dinner with ample seating for all. One day the weather allowed us to play games on the screened porch which was a peaceful escape to the wooded backyard. So nice to connect with Kids and Grandkids!

Our group had a great stay at Phil's place during a winter weekend getaway to Galena. The house was spacious and spotlessly clean, the kitchen was well stocked, and we enjoyed cozy mornings and evenings in front of the beautiful living room fireplace. We also had a great time working out at the owners' club, visiting shops in Galena, and relaxing in the hot tub surrounded by a quiet, peaceful winter wonderland. Robes in each bedroom were a nice touch, and we're so thankful that the driveway was cleared multiple times during our snowy stay so we had no trouble getting in and out despite the snowfall. Would definitely stay at Phil's place again!

We had two families stay together here - plenty of space for everyone to stay with their buddies in a room, and then also the kids could be in the downstairs family room while adults in the upstairs family room. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking items, which was super helpful so we could eat most meals in :) it was great to be able to use the pool, also!

The home was beautiful and had all the necessary items for a fun filled weekend. The location although within the Territory is a bit far from Eagle Ridge activities. It worked for our wedding weekend and everybody who stayed there enjoyed themselves.

What a beautiful home! Inviting, comfortable, clean, spacious, private, and doggie friendly! What a really nice place. Close enough to Galena and far enough to relax after a busy day in town. My family had what it was probably the last vacation with our 16 year old puppy, so we needed a relaxing place for him as well and this was it. Phil is a great host! He made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our little vacation. We will definitely be back soon!
