Welcome to Vista View - relax and unwind in this inviting & beautiful vacation home with panoramic views of the stunning scenery of The Galena Territory and direct views of the 11th fairway of Eagle Ridge's South Golf Course. This home is in a prime resort location, a 5-minute drive to the Galena Territory Owners Club, 7 miles to historic Downtown Galena, and many wedding & event venues such as Ashton Hill, Eagle Ridge, Oak Hill Farm, & more. This exceptional home accommodates up to 8 guests.

As you enter Vista View, you walk into an open and exceptionally appointed home. The main living room is the perfect space to connect with family and friends while playing games on the large coffee table and enjoying the solid stone floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen/dining/family room combo is the ideal spot for gathering while making meals and spending time with the people you care about.

The home boasts three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, each with a king-size bed; the lower-level bedroom also has a queen bed. This home sits on the 11th hole of the Eagle Ridge South Golf course with a hot tub overlooking the course -- perfect for stargazing at night or taking in the sweeping views of the Territory during the day. Fire up the Weber grill, pour yourself a drink, have a seat at the patio table or on the screen porch, and enjoy the views of the Galena Hillside and Golf Course. There's a fire-pit our back for your enjoyment. Inside the home, there are all the fixings to make Smores while you enjoy the fire in the darkness of the Galena sky. The highly-appointed kitchen has everything you need to make quick meals or holiday feasts.

This home is dog-friendly (Hypoallergenic/non-shedding dogs will only be accepted); a non-refundable dog fee of $150 applies to any booking with a dog up to 2 max. In your booking request, please indicate the dog breed/type.

Easy, relaxing and comfortable

We sooo enjoyed our Thanksgiving away at Vista View. Very comfortable for our family. All the kitchen tools you could need, games, spacious… and a hot tub! This is a very well maintained vacation home and we could come back in a heartbeat. Bonus points for Brian, who helped us book 2 separate houses and made the process so easy.

GOLF TRIP

My sons and I enjoyed our annual Eagle Ridge golf weekend. The weather was perfect. This property was perfect, great view from the deck on #11 hole South course. Plenty of room for 4 guys and hosted a dinner of 7 guys on the deck. I would highly recommend this house and hope to stay here again.

Beautiful home

What an amazing home! The whole family went down to Galena for a weekend getaway and could not be happier with the house. Spacious, clean, great location, and everything you could need right in the home available to you. Truly a wonderful experience here. This is our second year coming back and look forward to our third year visiting Galena. Thank you!

Galena get-away

Great location about 15-20 minutes from downtown. Well appointed and clean. We had 2 daughters with friends so we all liked having each bedroom on a separate floor. The girls loved the hot tub. The screened in porch is nice to relax and enjoy the view.

Family Weekend Getaway

We enjoyed our weekend getaway to Galena. It was our first visit to the area and the house provided a great place to relax when we weren't exploring the town. It was extremely cozy, beds comfy, kitchen well stocked with supplies, and we enjoyed the hot tub immensely. The house is very spacious so we never felt like we were on top of each other. The view of the golf course and surrounding bluffs was gorgeous. The owner was very responsive!

Relaxing

We are having some remodeling done so we had to leave the house for a few days. We decided that this house looked perfect for getting away and relaxing after living amongst so much chaos. It did not disappoint. It was everything we needed.

Galena Girls Getaway

The home has a well equipped kitchen, 3 nice bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, great hot tub and fire pit! Many of the blinds are missing rod to open and close, lower bathroom toilet paper holder dropped roll every time used. Ice maker didn’t make much ice till we were ready to leave on 3rd day. There is an odor of cat urine; especially in family room off dining room. Check-in and out process smooth and close drive and easy access to downtown Galena for shopping and restaurants and bars!

We had a great stay at this rental! The house was clean, kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The backyard had a view of the golf course and we enjoyed watching the golfers while we enjoyed our morning coffee. We also really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. The location was great too, just about 10 minutes from Galena’s Main Street. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely stay here again!

Very relaxing getaway!

We met up with some friends from Chicago and Minnesota for a Labor Day getaway, and had an extremely relaxing and low key wonderful time. The house is just as described, and we cooked out on the grill, popped in the hot tub, built a fire to sit out and stargaze, hopped on the golf course trail for a quick walk, enjoyed the snacks and smores station, all had our own king sized beds and bathrooms, and the drive downtown or to local attractions was all between 5-25min. Galena, in general, doesn’t have as much to do as we had hoped, but we went to all the local attractions in a long weekend, and had a fantastic time!
