As you enter the main level great room, you immediately feel the spaciousness and luxury.

About Bill
Hi-Welcome to our home. We're Bill and Sue. Several years ago our friends invited us to take a drive out to Galena with them. We didn’t know then about the rich history Galena boasts of, the beauty of the deep vistas and the tranquility of the woods and abundant wildlife, however these are the wonders that brought us back....year after year. Each visit introduced us to new discoveries in Northwest Illinois and educational interests and experiences for our children.
Bill purchased this house in 2007
Why Bill chose Galena
Galena is close enough yet far enough away from home; 3 hours drive from Chicago making it the perfect get-away place for a weekend trip. It is tucked away in Northwest Illinois and unlike the rest of the state of IL, Galena is hilly and picturesque. Downtown Galena is like stepping back in time with mid 19th century architecture aligning Main Street and beyond. Located 8 miles from town is our home, nestled at the galena Territory. It is peaceful, yet a fun place for a large groups or extended family gathering. It is a solid built home. We love it here and hope you will too.
What makes this house unique
Enjoy a game of pool or ping pong, challenge your friends to a game of poker, or relax in the outdoor private hot tub. Enjoy grilling with our 'never run out of gas' grill. Experience the natural surroundings; take a hike down the many trails in the Territory. Golf the 'General' or ski down the slopes of Chestnut Mountain Resort. Zip line 2.5 hour canopy tours just 1.5 miles away, Year-round activities make Galena the escape weekend destination
Guestbook comments from the owner
Thank you Bill,
The person from our group that won the golf tournament in September is in charge of the outing for 2014. He has tentatively determined to host the tournament in Colorado in 2014.
Thank you for thinking of us, your home was one of the best venues we have had in the 30 years we have been doing this tournament.
Doug

Corporate Retreat
We hosted an off-site corporate team-building retreat for 10 people at Eagle's Nest over the course of three days in March 2017. Bill was very quick to answer any questions I had prior to the stay, and the amenities made the stay that much better. Our team loved all the games available, and took advantage of the outdoor fire pit. We will keep this on our list for off-site retreats!
Galena stay at the Eagle’s Nest - Annual Family Reunion
For the 2nd year in a row our family stayed at Eagle’s Nest for our annual Galena Ski Trip and Family-Get-Together/Reunion. The 60 degree weather was the exact opposite from the below zero weather of 2016, but it just gave us more to enjoy at the Eagle’s Nest.
Our large family consisting of babies, toddlers, teens, parents and grandparents enjoyed ALL of the amenities this time around. Playing in the woods behind the house and hiking the surrounding trails was a particularly fun family activity that all were able to participate in together. The younger kids enjoyed playing in the woods behind the house and enjoyed a bond-fire with s’mores and spooky ghost story-telling in the evenings. The weather allowed us to use the sand volleyball court and the hot tub was a favorite as well. For those less adventurous family members, sitting on the beautiful porch that spans the entire length of the back of the Eagle’s Nest while enjoying the scenery and watching the family having so much fun was more than enough!
The best part of the Eagle’s Nest is that it allows our large family to share one roof with the spacious accommodations. Even more important - our family so enjoys sharing meals together and the spacious kitchen and common living area (dining room, living room, and outdoor space) allows us to cook and share a meal together in one large space.
While most of us are from Chicago and the Northwest suburbs of Illinois, Eagle’s Nest has become such a favorite with our family that family members from as far as New York and California came with us to visit and enjoy the Eagle’s Nest this year!
The Eagle’s Nest is such a great space and we created such wonderful family memories there which we hope to continue on every year.
No matter what season, if you are looking for a large space for a family reunion, team-building or corporate event, or just need a getaway weekend with friends, I highly recommend the Eagle’s Nest!
Here's a quick video of our memorable stay along with skiing at Chestnut mountain:

A wonderful facility designed to accommodate a busness group, a golf get-away or a family gathering
Eagle's Nest is a great place to hold any function that is looking to give people first class accommodations while allowing a great deal of interaction and common area. The facility is professionally run by Bill and Sue Hubbard, and they work hard to personalize the facility to meet your needs. I was impressed by the quality of home's construction and all of the furnishings within are high end, sturdy, and comfortable. The facility is clean and well kept, reflecting the care and attention to detail Sue and Bill. As we consider our future meeting requirements, Eagle's Nest will remain high on our list.
Thank you to Bill and Sue for all of your efforts.
2016 Christmas was best ever!!!!!!!
My wife and I rented the Eagle's Nest to celebrate Christmas with my 3 sons, daughter-in-laws and grandchildren. We could not have picked a more perfect place. Tons of space, beautiful scenery everywhere, and every imaginable amenity. The house is fully staffed and the decor is just awesome! Thank you Bill and Sue! You will now see us twice a year if my boys have their way.....-:)

Venue for a family reunion of 8 siblings and spouses.
Several months ago we began a venue search for our family reunion of 8 siblings and spouses (ages 56 to 72). We were excited when we found the Eagle's Nest and were able to reserve it for our week together especially after having seen their you-tube video of the property. I'm not able to describe the reaction we each had upon our arrival. It was like walking into a magnificent home only seen in the movies - could this really be where we will be staying for the seven days? It was everything we had imagined and much, much more! It was the perfect venue for our family to talk, play games, prepare home cooked meals , relax, reminisce and build more memories. Over-sized sofas on the main level, a crackling fire and the forest-like view from the huge windows made for a perfect setting to visit, nap, sing songs or just quietly enjoy the peaceful ambiance. The hot tub and picturesque outside area provided additional space for more activities. I highly recommend this property for any group that wants to spend quality time together.
Eagle's Nest EXCEEDED all Expectations!
As the door swung open, I had a moment where I thought of "Goldilocks" standing in awe of the big house she was entering. I've hosted a weekend retreat for our directors for 6 years, and this was the ultimate destination. Wish I'd found it earlier. Our event is a Friday night till Sunday, and we don't leave the premises, so all the food is prepared and served on site. The kitchen fascilities are high end from silverward to dishes to coffee pots and steak knives, even the spice drawer is organized. The spacious first floor allowed us to cook, dine and have training sessions. We could sink back into luxurious leather couches for in depth conversations, or perch at the counter on bar stools for a snack and a chat. The next day, we chose to have our taco bar lunch downstairs in another complete kitchen dining area. One night we had a "bed time" segment, and the downstairs circular leather couch conversation pit was a perfect place to share stories. Part of our tradition is to intersperse training with games, and the multi level decks and hot tup and driveway and firepit were back drops for crazy games and fun pictures. The first director who came a little early said, "I don't know if I want to look at the bedrooms till you tell me which one is mine.." In the past her sleeping accomodations maybe hadn't alway been stellar. As she peeked through every single bedroom, her exclamations and comments got louder and more enthusiastic. "I don't care where you put me, this is AMAZING!" she stated. We crammed in so much in our weekend, and multiple times I'd pause when I'd notice one more detail, one more decorating nuance that cemented my opinion of the opulence of the decor. I appreciate staying in luxury, but that's not easy to do when you're housing many and keeping costs reasonable. This house far exceeded anything I imagined, and truly, the whole time I was there, I was thinking of what other group I could bring or recommend. Before leaving, we circle the room asking for individual takeaways, and preceding the motivation and teaching and training evaluations, every person commented on the house experience. A STELLAR EXPERIENCE
