About this property

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Galena's Most affordable stay...

Don't waste your money staying in a hotel when you can stay in a 1BR/1Bath townhome in the Galena Territory. We are within walking distance to the new spa at the resort!
Our home sleeps has 1BR with a King bed and a full size sofa sleeper in the living room. The home sleeps 4 and is great for a couple or a small family getaway.
Our rates are AFFORDABLE! We are private owners that do not have to pay commission to a rental company and can pass those savings on to our guests. Can't we all use a break right now?
The home has a fully stocked kitchen, with new appliances, and a deck, that is adjacent to the North Golf Course. We are across from Lake Galena and a short walk to the resort. So convenient!
A wood burning fireplace, satellite TV in living room and bedroom, free fast Wifi, and a double Jacuzzi tub are just a few of the amenities that will help you feel right at home. Everything is on one level-no stairs.
High speed wifi allows this unit to be a perfect work from home space.

Territories gem

This townhome was perfect for the two of us. With such wonderful weather and the proximity of the Owner's Club, plus other outdoor activities, we were rarely inside. The deck is initmate and a shaded respite from the abundant sunshine. We did find it tough to leave the incredibly luxurious bed in the master, but we did and enjoyed all the amenities.

Anniversary get away!!

Beautiful property. The area is breathtaking. Lots to see and do. The property owner was very quick to respond and gave excellent suggestions on places to go. Will most definitely be staying here again. Would love to see this area in the fall season. I can just imagine the beautiful fall colors. The home itself is absolutely adorable. I loved the outdoorsy cabin motif in the home.

Very dated and owner tried to accuse me of damages

Unit extremely outdated. No grill to cook on. Development is not handicapped accessible and I am partially handicapped. Then to top the whole thing off, trying to accuse me of a burn hole in the couch. Which is impossible because neither of us smoke. We visit galena once a year and always state in a rental at eagle ridge. We will not rent this one again for sure

Great home in a nice, quiet area.

From the beginning it was really easy to communicate with Lisa. She made the process easy with great communication leading up to our stay. The house was in excellent condition and clean and was the perfect spot for our visit to Galena over the 4th of July weekend. One thing to note, the coffee maker is not fast. If you wake up needing a coffee to get your eyes open like I do, hit the Keurig first then the regular brewer if you like the full pot. Overall, I would definitely recommend this property.

Decent

The property is old and the door was broken upon our arrival, but the inside was clean and all that we needed for the weekend. The sliding back door was also unlocked, which is somewhat of a safety concern considering anyone could have walked in before we got there.

Two weeks in Galena

We have been eyeing Galena as a possible site for retirement so we booked a two week stay at this property (instead of the Resort) to try out the community and its amenities. The condo is conveniently located and is very walkable to all of the trails. It was very clean and comfortable. I loved to sit on the back deck in the morning to enjoy the sun rise. Lisa is the hostess and she is very nice and accommodating and has a boat load of tips of what to do in the area. We will be back for sure!

Never stay in a hotel room again.

My wife and I stayed at this property for a Anniversary getaway. It was our 1st time staying at a VBRO property and we really enjoyed our stay. We usually stayed in motels or hotels, but not anymore. It was so nice to have our own private space with all the conveniences of home. It was very comfortable and quiet.

About the host

Hosted by Owner-Lisa

Host profile image
We are a husband and wife team from Chicago. We enjoy getting away to Galena, as my husband is a veteran Chicago Police Officer and I am a teacher of 30 years. Galena is a world away from the city! Hosting allows us to keep our prices low so others can experience Galena, at an affordable price. We have made beautiful memories in Galena and hope you can, as well.

Why they chose this property

The Farmstead Homes are right across Lake Galena and walking distance to the Eagle Ridge Inn. We are only steps away from the NEW Stonedrift Spa. Walking trails surround the Farmstead Homes.

What makes this property unique

Our unit is clean, comfortable and affordable. Why pay more if you don't have to?
