Wonderful Galena Getaway

No detail overlooked in this tastefully done Galena home located in The Galena Territory..Private and comfortable accommodations and a host that goes out of his way to anticipate all of a guest's needs--a well outfitted kitchen for our holiday cooking; bright, freshly updated bathrooms and a wood-burning fireplace in the beautiful great room were just some of the special touches that made our stay memorable.

Perfect Winter Get Away

We greatly enjoyed our stay at this modern retreat in Galena. We enjoyed relaxing in the townhouse and exploring the trails just outside the front door. The townhouse had everything we needed to cook a few meals. We also enjoyed exploring downtown Galena.

5-Star Updated Property

What a beautiful home! This is a wonderfully updated property with every amenity one can think of. We especially enjoyed the lovely view of the golf course and the coffee bar. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen is well-stocked. It is a short drive to downtown Galena. Jared was very responsive and helpful when we encountered a couple glitches. We very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Lovely getaway.

Perfect townhouse in a peaceful setting, just what we needed after selling our house and moving into a rental. We biked the Galena bike trail and went hiking at Mississippi Palisades State Park. Picnicked at Apple River Canyon. Hard to come home.

Great spot in the Galena Territory

It was an anniversary getaway weekend to Galena and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The property delivered as it was advertised. It was well appointed and was a tocked with everything we needed. It is an end unit surrounded by woods and had a view of the golf course. We enjoyed the walking trails and access to a great pool and clubhouse that came with their owners status. Great spot with a helpful owner. Highly recommend.

Great townhouse and great location!

We stayed at Jared’s townhouse over the New Years break and we had a great time. We’ve been to Galena and the Eagle Ridge territory over the years many times and it was so nice to stay in a place that was very modern and newly updated. All of the finishes in the home were very nice and the house had everything we needed for a great stay. We went skiing one of the days and it was only a short 20 min drive to Chestnut and only 10 mins to downtown Galena. Jared was great to work with and his communication was outstanding during the reservation and check in process. Thanks again for a great stay!

Gorgeous Galena Getaway!

Arrived on a beautiful summer evening getaway from Chicago. My daughters first request was a star gazing app. Family were blown away by the townhome. Jared obviously goes the extra mile and takes a lot of pride in his place. “He’s thought of everything” my family would repeat. Owners club is first class. Buffet breakfast at Woodlands is a must. We enjoyed zipline & paddle boarding. This place is sitting in a golfers paradise — next trip with clubs.

Idyllic Stay in Galena Territory!

My husband and I just returned from a long weekend getaway to Galena where we stayed at this perfect townhome property. The owner, Jared, was an attentive host, checking in with us via email to make sure we had everything we needed, which we did! The townhome is beautifully updated with the most modern amenities. There was truly no detail left undone. This was our first visit to Galena and it was so charming, beautiful, and unexpectedly modern. Our favorites were the trolley tour of the town, Otto's for breakfast (make a reservation), Bread & Vine for lunch or dinner, and Galena Roasters for a great pumpkin spice latte! The purpose of our travel was to watch our college-age son run in his cross-country meet, so we are hoping the team takes part in the same meet next year. If so, we will definitely be booking Jared's townhouse again! Next trip, we are hoping to experience more of the outdoors - hiking, horseback riding, bike riding, etc. There is so much to do in this area that a weekend was not a long enough stay.

About the host

Hosted by Jared

Host profile image
Hi there, my name is Jared. I purchased this townhome as a place to escape to from the busy city life. Whenever I visit the Galena area, it always felt like a perfect escape, with easy access to many outdoor activities and trails, far away from big city crowd/noises, but still very close to the town of Galena (restaurants, breweries, grocery stores, shopping) and countless tourist attractions in the area (golf, ski, wineries, water activities, etc.). I want to share my home with others, so more people can enjoy what this area has to offer. I strive to provide the best guest experience possible and always welcome your suggestions/feedback. :-)
