My only complaint would be how thin the toilet paper was. It seemed to be a theme everywhere in Galena though. Really enjoyed the time spent there. Lovely town

Spent the week of the fourth there and had a nice stay. Enjoyed the location to the south course, marina, owners club and downtown. The rental was clean. My only recommendation would be to have more pillows.

Would definitely recommend this spot.

Fantastic! This is the cleanest villa I have stayed in over the years at Eagle Ridge. It is also very well thought out and cozy. Communicating with our host was great; he responded very quickly. Check in was easy. There is plenty of seating in the living room, and lots of extra blankets in the closet. There are so many games to play, and puzzles too. Lots of guides for trails, bird books and things to do in the area. The wildlife is beautiful; we saw deer from our living room. The kitchen is equipped with not only a traditional coffee maker but also a keurig along with a variety of k cups. Appliances all seem to be updated/new. We will definitely be back.

We try to make sure guests have everything they need to relax and enjoy their time in the Territory — from extra blankets and games to a fully stocked kitchen and great coffee options.

Planned a quick overnight stay with grandsons. Communication was great with owner. Place was easy to get to, and just like the pictures. Would book this condo again in a heartbeat.

It was our pleasure to host your group. We take pride in our townhouse, and are glad you enjoyed your stay. We would love to have you back anytime!
My first impression of the rental was the clear, helpful, friendly communication with the owner -- both online and on phone. That made our weekend enjoyable even before arriving at the townhouse. And once in the house, we thought the layout of rooms was perfect -- bedrooms on two floors, each with a full bath. Everything neat and clean. The place really sparkled for us. We enjoyed the light cooking we did and times together on the patio deck. All in all, a delightful stay. So much to do in the area as well. Our teenage grandson loved the amenity pass to the club house for swimming and weight lifting. The weekend was everything we could hope for. .

It’s wonderful to hear the layout worked well for your group and that you were able to enjoy cooking together and spending time out on the patio deck. We love knowing the home felt neat, clean, and welcoming for you.
I’m especially happy your grandson enjoyed access to the Owners’ Club amenities — that’s such a great perk of staying at Oak Haven Galena.
We really appreciate you choosing to stay with us and would be delighted to welcome you back anytime.
This unit worked out very well for my family of four. Everything is just as described on the listing. Everything was very clean and the owners were very flexible and easy to work with. The location is nice and we really enjoyed access to all that the Galena territory has to offer. we used the marina the golf course and the owners complex pools. Our small dog enjoyed the unit as well. Would definitely stay here again.

Nothing makes us happier than hearing about a great stay from our guests! So glad your family had a wonderful time at Oak Haven Galena. Thanks for taking good care of our house, and for communicating openly with us. You’re welcome back anytime, Patty!
I picked this property because of the gas fireplace. It was great -- turned on and off with remote control. Making a wood fire is too much work. The unit was very clean. I've stayed in the Eagle Ridge complex several times and the units are all pretty much the same
