Great home for a large family! The house was clean and owners quickly responded when needed. Great location and loved having access to Eagle Ridge for the pool. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

Manager's Response

Thank you Ashley! We are so glad your enjoyed our Fore Augusta home. It's really an amazing spot for a gathering. One Note to future guests - we do not have access to the Eagle Ridge Resort Pool - we have access to the Galena Territory Association Owners Club. This is an amazing spot with so much to do. Indoor pool, out door pool, basketball gym, fitness center, snack shop, etc.

The house was perfect for our vacation - loved having a bathroom for each bedroom! It was very clean and it seemed like they thought of everything we might need. The clubhouse pool was fabulous and we loved the views in the neighborhood.

A couple of the dining room chairs and one of the rocking chairs on the porch need their legs fixed, and there are wasp/hornet nests in the front tree and behind the light on the deck. Also, the pillows in the spa are falling apart.

Our family LOVED Fore Augusta Drive. It was fantastic for our reunion and very close to Oakmont which we also rented for our large family. It has a great hot tub including towels for using the hot tub. It was nicely equipped, clean and pleasant. The proximity to the Owner's club is also much appreciated.

Family reunion year 28, first since Covid. Great home, personal touches, quick responses when needed. Had a plumbing issue that resolved as quickly as possible. Delayed activities but response was swift. No issues the following day. Home was a perfect size for our needed. Loved the fire pit and had s'mores the last night. The hot tub was squeaky clean! Little touches light leaving firewood, beach towels, and lawn chairs made a difference.

Some of the family used the tennis courts and the swimming pool! I can’t count how many games of pool we played! Loved that every bedroom had their own bathroom!

The screened in porch was the perfect spot to relax and catch up after putting the kids to bed. Location is just a short drive to the pool and even walkable.

My wife and I decided to stay here with 4 other couples to celebrate her 50th birthday. As soon as we pulled up we knew we had made the right decision. It's a beautiful home in a picturesque location offering wonderful views from every porch and deck. Spacious home with a huge kitchen that had a table big enough to accommodate us all. The hot tub was awesome and were extremely surprised by the new addition of the outdoor firepit. The house was clean and in order when we got there and the kitchen was stocked with all the basic cooking materials we needed to prepare the food we brought with us. There were a few minor things with the home that didn't cause us much dismay over the course of the weekend. We realized quickly that there wasn't enough hot water for the even half of us to shower. I found that odd because when there 5 bathrooms and a jacuzzi tub in 2 of them, you'd think there would be ample amounts of hot water. Secondly, the whole house speaker system worked perfectly upstairs, however the speakers in the basement where the bar and game room were located wouldn't turn on. All in all, a great house that we'd return to in a heartbeat with our friends.

The only suggestion that I would make is that the locks on the two sliding exterior doors should be replaced so that guests can actually lock the doors at night or when they leave the property, this will allow the guests to feel more secure.

This house was absolutely gorgeous and very spacious! It came with a lot of essentials included, like napkins/TP, towels, soap, air mattresses, etc, which was helpful when deciding what to bring. The house was very clean, had lots of resources to look through in case you had questions about things in the house, and hot tub was relaxing! Not to mention the location was phenomenal; lots of places to visit, great foods, and fun local stores. I would definitely come back to this house and highly recommend to those looking for a sweet getaway!

This was our family's ninth year vacationing in the Territories, and the second year in this rental. We also rented the property next door, 2 Augusta, and the two rentals are perfect for our large family. There is plenty of space for family meals and gathering space for games and other family activities. We would recommend the property to anyone looking for space for a family gathering.

The neighborhood was very quiet and the walking paths made it easy to enjoy the beauty of the area. We really looked forward to watching the sun set from the front porch and looking at the stars from the back deck. We hope to return to the house for another peaceful getaway soon.

We played games, made big dinners and desserts, relaxed in the hot tub, watched the sunset (bug free) from the screened in porch, watched movies on both big TVs, had a family pool tournament, used the owners club pools and facilities, visited downtown and nearby landmarks, and had enough rooms and bathrooms for the 9 of us to not crowd each other. Linda and her team were quick and responsive when we had one small issue. Great experience and would definitely recommend.

We had a great time while staying at the home in Galena. We had 8 adults and 2 children. It was nice that each couple had their own bathroom and kids had their own room. We enjoyed the big kitchen as we cooked 4 meals while we there the 3 days. We used the hot tub one night. We enjoyed the pool table quite a bit. We also went swimming two times at the indoor pool, played basketball at the nice court they had, and played games in the gameroom. The only thing that was a little annoying was the DVD and Cable equipment. There was no DVD remote for the family room on the main floor and we were wanting to play a DVD trivia game but needed a remote. There was no DVD player in the downstairs family room and the kids room did not have a DVD player at all either and the kids TV did not get the Disney or cartoon channels. The DVD player did not work at all in the other bedroom downstairs either.

Manager's Response

We are so glad this guest enjoyed their stay. Our Fore Augusta home is a great place to spend time in Galena. We have gone back through all of the tech equipment, remotes are accounted for and everything is working well. Just call us if you need help!

This is such a beautiful property! 3 of us cousins and our families brought our grandfather here for a Labor Day getaway. We loved cooking most our meals and eating together in that beautiful kitchen. We loved hanging on the front porch chatting for hours. The hot tub was top notch. The kids loved the pool table and my avid golfer grandfather loved the putting green.

We rented the two houses at 2 Augusta and 4 Augusta to accommodate our large family for our annual Family Vacation. We always prefer to have separate bathrooms for each bedroom and like to have a dining space large enough for our family style meals. There is so much yard space between these two houses that we were easily able to have our annual Bags Tournament and were also able to set up other yard games as well. This combination of houses was everything we were looking for. I'm certain we will be returning.

My family rented this house for a girl's weekend and it didn't disappoint. The house was large, spacious, and well furnished to allow us to have our own spaces. The hot tub was perfect for resting after long days. The kitchen and outdoor grill were great for cooking family dinners. The Owner's Club had a fitness room with friendly staff which was a perk. We enjoyed the quick drive to Galena's downtown shops as well. We hope to come back soon!

We were delighted with our stay!

This is a terrific home in a most convenient location! Abby was always available if we had a question during our stay. We hope to stay here again.

The mattress in the 2nd floor bedroom at the top of three steps was very uncomfortable. Seven members of our party got a stomach virus while staying here so I hope the home was thoroughly cleaned after our departure. I did make the cleaning team aware of this.

Manager's Response

We are so glad this group had a nice stay. It is hard to find a mattress that suits everyone - one may be too hard someone and too soft for someone else. We will check it out but know we have not had complaints on this bed in the past. We were very thankful the guest called us and warned us that their group had gotten ill during their stay. Extra cleaning precautions were taken for sure. Not only to protect our housekeeping group but to make sure it was fresh and ready for future guests. Our housekeepers do a great job and stand behind their work 100%. When you are staying with us please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything.

We had 5 girls in the house for a weekend. Plenty of room for everyone - especially nice having your own bathroom! Kitchen was well stocked, and the back porch was perfect for morning coffee. The screened porch was perfect for afternoon happy hour. Very minor suggestion for improvement would be having a DVD player for the basement TV. Watching movies upstairs was uncomfortable having the TV so high on the wall. Overall, great house!

Enjoyable rental with ample space for 6 friends. The dining and living rooms proved to be our favorite gathering spaces. The kitchen was adequately appointed. The most enjoyed feature was the wood burning fireplace with a sizable wood supply! Delightful stay overall! Only negative to report were several slow drains in bathtubs.

Manager's Response

Thanks for the great feedback! Fore Augusta has great open gathering spaces but then also nice spots to take a break in, the sun room, the bar area in the lower level, putting green near hot tub, etc. We had someone clear the drains and all is good now. You'll love your stay here!

We stayed in the Fore Augusta for Labor Day weekend, and had a wonderful time. We had four couples who all enjoyed their luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms. The decor was relaxing, and comfortable. The screen porch was especially wonderful, with plenty of seating and room to spare! We adored the kitchen - loaded with amenities and all the basics as well. The only negative point was that the jets in the hot tub began to leak, and didn't spray during our stay. The heat worked, but we were disappointed that the jets weren't working. Upon reporting this to the agent, the owners did give us a $50 credit, but we would have preferred that the hot tub worked, as that was one of the reasons we chose this home. All in all, we would stay here again, provided the hot tub was fixed.

Augusta Fore was absolutely amazing! The house was beautiful and well kept. the enclosed patio as an added bonus! We didn't have to worry about running out of dishes. They had everything from serving dishes to beautiful wine glasses. The bedrooms were super cozy! I will be going back next year and the year after! Thank you to Abbey, who made the rental process easy! Thank you to the owners for opening your home to us! I highly recommend this vacation home to anyone that wants to get away but still have the comforts of home!

This is our second year staying at this house.We love the spaciousness and everyone has their own bedroom and bathroom. We were a little disappointed in the quality of the mattresses and cleanliness of the pillows in the two basement rooms. The rooms upstairs are great. We like the fact that the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need, the screened in porch is great and it is located on a quiet street. There is a pool table in the basement and a small putting green, which was used almost every night.The few small changes we suggested would make this house a 5 star accommodation.
