Overall, a great place to get a group of people together. There were 10 in our group and we were able to relax, enjoy the screened porch, firepit and hot tub and cook some wonderful meals together.

Extended Family Gathering
Property was clean and had plenty of space for our family to gather.
Access to Galena and Galena territory amenities was excellent.
Plenty in the area for our multi age family, so having a central spot for staging and laughing was important.
Deck and campfire is a great amenity to bring the family spirit together.

Cozy and comfortable retreat
We rented this property for a skiing trip to Chestnut Resort in mid-February. It's an amazing place—comfortable, cozy, and spacious enough for 13 people across 4 families, with ample kitchen equipment. The playful character and personality of the owner really shine through.

Girl's 50th Birthday Celebration--quiet and relaxing
The property was wonderful. Very quiet...birds and wildlife. Star gazing and shooting stars were tremendous. Great location to relax and visit, and close enough to town to enjoy what the community and surrounding area provide for recreation.

Great girls getaway
We had a great stay. The house was spacious enough to accommodate our group of 12 very comfortably. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Several people enjoyed the hot tub but would have appreciated some solar lights to light up the path to get to it. We loved the secluded and quiet setting and still were close enough to enjoy the town of Galena.

Thanksgiving Get-Away
We decided to go “over the river and through the woods” for our extended-family Thanksgiving holiday this year. Our group ranged in age from 5 to 70 and the house and property were perfect for our 3 nights together. Plenty of room (bigger than the photos indicate) for game playing, crafting and cooking together! The kids had fun in the hot tub, game room and exploring around the pond. Kitchen worked great for preparing our Thanksgiving dinner. Dishwasher was a bit glitchy - or maybe we were : )
A very comfortable (if not posh) place to hang out together in a beautiful secluded setting (and the hosts have curated a really lovely collection of children books for a variety of ages- MANY of which were read during our stay). Dave was helpful and answered the questioned we had. Lots of good memories made!

Galena visit
Our group of 14 (adults and kids) really enjoyed the property. It is a large amount of space and feels very secluded. We saw lots of wildlife from the house and appreciated how remote it feels though it is an easy drive into downtown Galena. We had fun exploring the hiking trails and also had fun escaping the heat at the Owner's club pool. We will back to Galena in the future and we would recommend this property for any large group.

Multi Family Weekend
The home was as listed. We enjoyed our time and the privacy the home provided. The home was clean, larger than it appears in photos and worked very well for 3 families (14 people) to stay. The kids enjoyed time in the coach house next door. We didn't get to use the hot tub but they enjoyed sledding down the hill in the front yard. There was plenty of cups and dishes for everyone. The owner was accommodating with our check in/out needs. Also, lots to look at throughout the house, it made for lots of conversation and the kids enjoyed all the unique treasures. We would stay again! Not deal breakers but things to note:- You have to drop off the trash at a site about 10 minutes away. The key card needed to get in needs to be returned to the home.- We needed to use the extra pull out beds. The house has no extra pillows or blankets only an extra set of sheets per room. - They only provided 1-2 towels per room. It wasn't enough to accommodate everyone. Bring extra towels and beach towels if using hot tub.

Great family stay, minor hiccups
We enjoyed our stay here with 9 adults and 2 children. Plenty of room and places to spread out. We did experience a few minor inconveniences with the electrical switches in the house (lights working and then not working with no rhyme or reason,) but overall really enjoyed the house and its amenities. The listing should be updated with the correct processes for check in and check out as those are outdated/incorrect.

This property was amazing, and definitely worth a 5 star review!
It was very clean, and well furnished. The setting seemed remote, but in reality we were close to all the immenities of the Galena Territory; indeed this property proved to be “the best of both worlds!” Lots of things to do on both sunny days, as well as rainy ones. The property includes a game room & a large media area, which came in handy for one day that was rainy. Provided a very peaceful & relaxing atmosphere, both inside & out. Loved all the interesting decor in the house. The huge dining room table was perfect for our big group, & we loved the hot tub, & fire pit area. The owner was pleasant & helpful, yet non-intrusive. We definitely hope to stay here again next summer. Fantastic experience!

Large, secluded property
The house and coach house were a great place for our three families to get together and celebrate New Years. The main house has a large bedroom on the main floor and three bedrooms on the bottom floor, all with queen sized beds and fold out couches. This made it easy to be flexible with the kids' sleep arrangements. The coach house is separate from the main house and has a large living room with fold out couches and game room and two queen bedrooms. It's nice that all the bedrooms are comparable. There was plenty of space for our three families of 4, 4, and 5 people, though if you have younger kids they can't really stay in the coach house by themselves. The house has good amenities, the view is peaceful and the hot tub made it really special. As you can see from the photos, the decor is dated (1990s) but the furniture is solid and the house is clean. Nice short stay for a group of three families.

Great Location, Great House, Broken Hot Tub, Turd in the Pool
We have been going to Galena as a family for the last five years and the location of this property was by far the most picturesque and secluded. Unfortunately, when we arrived the hot tub cover was off and the hot tub was not in working condition. I called the host and he told me somebody must have left the cover off, which I knew This was one of our key search criteria for a house, so we were very disappointed. House was relatively clean, but lots of dead flies.
The house itself was perfect for accommodating our 13 guests and the coach house was nice if you have teenagers or part of your group that needs quiet.
Our kids found a turd in the community pool on the only day we had scheduled to visit. The pool had to be shut down for 45 minutes while it was deturded. With 5 passes to the owners club we had had to pay $40, which we lost due to the poo in the pool situation.

Privacy for the whole family near Galena
We had 8 adults and 2 kids. The house met our needs quite well. The kids loved the table games in the coach house, and the adults loved the screen porch.
The house is very private, so we didn't have to worry about being too loud by the fire at night. Unfortunately, part of being in the country is spotty and slow internet. We had cell service, though, so we could use our phones.
A few of the mattresses need to be replaced, but being there for just 3 nights made it bearable. The kitchen was well stocked and the grill worked great.
We had to clean and treat the hot tub with the supplies we found in the mechanical room, because it had no chlorine and a bunch of debris in it when we got there. That was rather inconvenient.
Check-in and -out were easy. They ask that you take all your garbage to the drop station, which requires one of the club keys, so we did that the day before we left. Then we took what garbage we generated the last day with us when we left so we wouldn't have to bring the club key back to the house.
We would stay here again.

オーナーについて
オーナー : David Batka
About eight years ago friends of ours loaned us their house for a couple of days while the well was being repaired at our home. Also at this time we were looking for a place to build a therapeutic riding center for special needs individuals. We fell in love with the Galena/Jo Daviess County experience and decided this would be the place where we would build the center. In 2008 our dream was realized and the center was opened. It is called 'Area of Dreams' and is located on Blackjack Road near Chestnut Mountain Ski Area. See links for further information.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
The center relies 100% on volunteer help. At the time we lived 3-hours away and most of the volunteers were from the same area. The center operates on weekends, so we needed a facility to house the volunteers who came on weekends. Luckily we found this unique property that fit these needs.
この宿泊施設の特徴
This is a very secluded/private property that makes people feel they are deep in the north woods even tho civilization is just over the next hill or on the other side of the trees. As people enter the house they immediately begin to relax due to inviting and warm atmosphere of the house. Next they cannot wait to explore the many unique and fascinating features of the property. The tin ceiling, wood stove, hot tub and pier, pond, media and game rooms, and interesting decorative items. The open floor plan offers a wonderful place for family and friends to enjoy each others fellowship.
