Grandparents, kids, grandkids weekend getaway!

Loved the house. Close to everything, the 3 levels and bathroom for each bedroom was perfect for our large family. Everyone loved the game table, pool table and hot tub. The giant kitchen table was great for our dinners and board game nights. Would stay here again.

Great family Getaway

Our family of 12 enjoyed our stay. No complaints. Only recommendation is if planning to cook, bring spatulas and extra roll or two of paper towels if you have a large group. Otherwise everything else was fine.

Great stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Had a wedding to attend full of family. 5 bedrooms and bathrooms was enough space for everyone. Place is well kept, clean, and inviting. Only concern was shower stalls were slippery, just be careful. Considering everything that can be wrong, 1 concern means the place is fantastic.

Perfect stay for our family!

My family of 7 adults and 4 kids loved our 4 day stay! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to have their own; big plus! The gaming device downstairs was a hit with the kiddos. Plenty of outdoor space around the house as well. The kids loved riding their scooters on the driveway. Nice quick drive to the owners club where we all enjoyed the pool and workout facility. Only downfall was the refrigerator space. Would have loved an additional one downstairs for overflow food and drinks.

Fantastic home for a family of 10!

Very clean and spacious. The house was perfect for our family giving us enough space to spread out and have some privacy while having great places to gather. Loved relaxing in the hot tub and by the fire pit…so many stars in the dark sky. We even saw a hot air balloon go by.

Very comfortable and roomy home with wonderful game room for 10

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house and property is great for a quiet, cozy place and adequate for 10. The location is excellent away from noise and crowds with a peaceful view of trees and birds singing. The fire pit with a good supply of wood provided a family setting to chat and relax. The hot tub was a welcome warm comfortable restful amenity. The game room was fun for all with a special video game console to play a number of choice games and a pool table. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms gave space and room to provide privacy and comfort for 10. The house is well maintained and had anything needed for kitchen and seating of 10. The screened porch was an excellent gathering place to chat and listen to songbirds in the morning. Highly recommended and this was our second year to stay here.

Wonderful Stay at 59 Longwood

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was perfect for our extended family of nine. Loved the hot tub and games downstairs as well as the Owner's Club. By the way, take along some beach towels because the Owner's Club doesn't provide them. Glad we did. Highly recommend the Mississippi River Museum in Dubuque. We took our grandkids there and they loved it. The Log Cabin was elegant. Chestnut Mountain restaurant had a view to die for. The kids loved the Alpine slide and Zip Line. The big kids used the golf courses nearby, but also went to neighboring town's golf course. Less pricey. I found the people at Owner's Club very friendly. We did water aerobics in early morning and enjoyed the quiet of the pool without so many people.

Our weekend getaway

This place was absolutely gorgeous. Our house was perfect for our situation. Every bedroom had its own bathroom which was great for our group. Great location and view of the 16th hole of the south course. We loved the deck and hot tub and made use of the grill. The weather didn't allow us to use the fire pit in the back but definitely would have otherwise.

Fantastic Place for a Senior Cousins Reunion!

We had 9 active seniors 60 to 71 stay at the house for 5 days and we thought it was amazing! We enjoyed every bit of the property, as well as the Eagle Ridge Resort Marina (Pontoon Boat and Pickle Ball) and Pickle Ball courts at the Resort Lodge The beds were comfy (although the master mattress was showing signs of denting) Plenty of dishes, cookware and silverware...dishwasher was great! Plenty of hot water for showers and baths. Drove into Galena a number of times and the drive was only about 15 minutes. Each day we walked a mile around Longwood Drive and there were trails all around. We loved how private the house was within the neighborhood...and the stars at night were magnificent!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great house, lots of room for all! We did do a couple meals there. For a house holding so many guests I wish there were larger pots and pans. It was annoying to cook for so many with what was there. That is my only complaint. Otherwise was very clean and again loved all the room! I would definitely stay again.
