Perfect Galena Getaway for the Family!
This home was wonderful and had everything necessary to provide the family with a peaceful getaway. Nestled in a wooded, quiet and private culdesac under the starry sky, yet close enough to the territory entrance to provide convenience. Lia was incredibly attentive, friendly and accommodating. The kitchen was also very well-equipped with everything.

Wonderful Holiday Stay with large family
Booked a weekend stay for family members to gather at one location with pets to celebrate Thanksgiving. The host was gracious in preparing the home for our Thanksgiving stay with Thanksgiving decorations and dishes. The home was beautiful, clean and gave a warm cozy welcome. We enjoyed playing pool, ping-pong, darts, and the hot tub. Plenty of room for all. Enjoyed sitting down at the fire pit looking up at the stars. This was truly a great holiday experience at a beautiful home. Located to Galena shops and the Apple River for a great nature hike or fishing.

Great Couples’ Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at Owl’s Stay. The leaves were changing and we felt like we were at our own autumn hideaway. The house had all the space and amenities we needed. The fire pit is not as far from the house as it appears in the photos and was a great place to just hang out. All the couches were super cozy and the table big enough for dinners and games! We had five adult couples and spent most of our time at the house but it was a short drive to Apple picking and wine tasting as well. Lastly, the owner is very responsive and available. She will handle any issues so no worries! Book & Enjoy!

10/10 experience! We could not have asked for a more comfortable home with picturesque features and incredible amenities. The house is an amazing fit for a large group, everybody slept comfortably. Located close to downtown Galena and Chestnut Mountain Resort, we found that the central location was a key factor in facilitating a convenient experience for us. Our host was incredibly thorough in providing information before we arrived, and expeditious in her responses to any questions we had during our stay. The hot tub, pool table, and fireplace provided endless entertainment and exceeded the expectations that we had for the property. A truly wonderful birthday experience and we cannot wait to come back!

Girls Weekend
We love the Galena Territory, and we loved this home! This home was exactly as described. The rooms are spacious and very clean (and we're very picky when it comes to what people consider clean). The furnishings and decor in the home are beautiful. So many items we kept saying to ourselves that I'd love in my own home. Such nice touches. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with everything you could possibly need to make meals at home and all the little extras that you don't find in most rentals these days (extra bath, bedding, and laundry supplies) were very much appreciated. Basement had plenty of entertainment to keep everyone busy with the rain, as well as heading to the Owner's Club to use the pool. Lia was extremely timely with any questions and accommodations to our schedule. Wish we lived closer but would absolutely choose to stay in Lia's home again. Mother Nature didn't exactly cooperate for our outdoor plans in downtown Galena. All the more reason why we were so grateful that our time stuck inside could be spent in a great home and in the beautiful Galena Territory.

Woodsy Paradise
If you love the woods, you’ll love Owl’s Nest. It’s built into a hillside, so looking out the wall of windows - and especially from the screened in porch - you feel like you’re in a treehouse. The screened in porch was our group’s favorite spot, with a table seating 8 and protection from bugs, we spent entire days (and nights!) out there. And if you want to walk in the woods, there are paths extending from the firepit area. The trees are tall and the shade deep. We saw and heard wildlife (including owls at night), but it was mostly very quiet. We never even saw or heard any neighbors.But Owl’s Nest has more than nature. There were plenty of spaces on multiple levels for our group to spread out. The pool table room was a big hit, as was the hot tub. The media room was great for video games, and the poker room worked well for our tabletop gamers.The kitchen was well stocked and well organized. We were able to cook everything we wanted, and the double ovens came in very handy for feeding a crowd. Best of all, with so many bedrooms with attached bathrooms, the house was very comfortable for multiple couples to share.One warning I’ll share is that, because the property is on a slope, the ground around the house (especially around the firepit) is mostly uneven. We learned to watch our step everywhere to avoid trips and falls.The property was very clean, the decor tasteful, and the area beautiful and peaceful. Perfect for a gathering of family and/or friends!

It truly is a special place, and we love that you got to fully experience the peace of the woods, the treehouse feel, and all the amenities—from the screened-in porch to the game rooms.
We appreciate you mentioning the slope around the firepit area—that’s helpful for future guests to keep in mind. And we’re especially glad the home worked well for your group to spread out, relax, and enjoy quality time together.

This is property backs right up to the wilderness. When in the back you'll feel like you went hiking and found the perfect spot to set up a campfire, there are 2 decks to enjoy the view, not to mention most guests rave about the 3 seasons room off the upper deck; great for playing games and catching up with your loved ones over dinner; without bugs! And that basement has all the fun... set up with 2 bar tables and bar with bar stools... a pool table, ping pong and a poker table! There's darts while you wait your turn at pool, two flat screens to play some music or catch a game. We also have a huge smart TV in the media room great for the kiddos when they aren't out exploring outdoors! From the basement sliding doors lead you out to the lower-level deck, which also houses the Hot Tub perfect to soak in that treelined view!
