Home was clean and cozy. Located around a golf course about 5 minutes from downtown Galena. Area was quiet and friendly.

No light pollution resulted in great views of the stars at night.

Club house is a few minutes drive away due to winding roads.

No disturbance from the golf course experienced.

Water pressure in shower was great, maybe even too good!

Living room couch was very comfy.

Main mattress was very firm.

Patio chairs were not friendly to my large size.

Overall would recommend or visit again myself.

Great place to stay!

We took our two boys for a weekend in Galena for ziplining and other adventures. This place was lovely, had plenty of room for the four of us and a great pool that the boys loved. The owners were accommodating and quick to respond with any questions. Everywhere we wanted to go was close by but we weren't in the center of anything, which is what we were looking for. We will definitely be back!

We stayed at this rental last year and knew we'd like to return. My only disappointment was there is no longer automatic drip coffee machine which was there last year. The Keurig was fine, but be prepared for that. We had to buy the pods from the Country Store on the property and everything there is just a tad more expensive.

Still, a great place to stay for a few days.

Nice place. A bit dated. Upstairs bath and bed comfy. Downstairs bed like a board! 18 steps from parking lot. Upon entering, 7 steps to upstairs bedroom. To family room, kitchen, bedroom, 7 down. Roku tv not user friendly! Needed subscriptions
Manager response on 2024-12-18 - Response from Vacation Homes of Galena
This is a fully updated golf villa in the Galena Territory aka welcome to hill country. If stairs are an issue for you please ask prior to coming and we can tell you exactly how many stairs you will have for entry into the unit or inside. All golf villas have a similar layout which is like a split level, you enter and then must go up or go down. Please read the listing carefully this is all very transparent. We supply the Smart TV and the apps, you just need to log into your favorites that you use at home or while traveling. Once again if this is a concern please reach out prior to booking!

We had a great stay in this completely updated townhome in The Galena Territory. Unit was extremely clean with all new floors, bathroom tile, fixtures, and vanities, kitchen cabinets, counters, and appliances. While we didn't use the wood burning fireplace, we did use the Weber grill. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, dinner and glassware, and utensils. Location was perfect and check in/check out was simple, as was communicating with the management service. When in Galena, be sure to visit The Galena Bakehouse. It's amazing! We're already planning another stay. We highly recommend you rent this lovely place. You won't be disappointed.

This is our third stay in six months at this rental property. It's very clean and well stocked. We like to cook our meals instead of going out for dinner. The kitchen is a bit small, but we use the Weber grill to help fix our meals. The management group is very responsive and eager to help. The central location in the territory is perfect for any activity. We've enjoyed our three visits and will definitely rent again and can highly recommend this rental property for your next visit to Eagle Ridge.

Home was clean and cozy. Located around a golf course about 5 minutes from downtown Galena. Area was quiet and friendly.

No light pollution resulted in great views of the stars at night.

Club house is a few minutes drive away due to winding roads.

No disturbance from the golf course experienced.

Water pressure in shower was great, maybe even too good!

Living room couch was very comfy.

Main mattress was very firm.

Patio chairs were not friendly to my large size.

Overall would recommend or visit again myself.

We took our two boys for a weekend in Galena for ziplining and other adventures. This place was lovely, had plenty of room for the four of us and a great pool that the boys loved. The owners were accommodating and quick to respond with any questions. Everywhere we wanted to go was close by but we weren't in the center of anything, which is what we were looking for. We will definitely be back!

We stayed at this rental last year and knew we'd like to return. My only disappointment was there is no longer automatic drip coffee machine which was there last year. The Keurig was fine, but be prepared for that. We had to buy the pods from the Country Store on the property and everything there is just a tad more expensive.

Still, a great place to stay for a few days.

Nice place. A bit dated. Upstairs bath and bed comfy. Downstairs bed like a board! 18 steps from parking lot. Upon entering, 7 steps to upstairs bedroom. To family room, kitchen, bedroom, 7 down. Roku tv not user friendly! Needed subscriptions

Manager's Response

This is a fully updated golf villa in the Galena Territory aka welcome to hill country. If stairs are an issue for you please ask prior to coming and we can tell you exactly how many stairs you will have for entry into the unit or inside. All golf villas have a similar layout which is like a split level, you enter and then must go up or go down. Please read the listing carefully this is all very transparent. We supply the Smart TV and the apps, you just need to log into your favorites that you use at home or while traveling. Once again if this is a concern please reach out prior to booking!

This is our third stay in six months at this rental property. It's very clean and well stocked. We like to cook our meals instead of going out for dinner. The kitchen is a bit small, but we use the Weber grill to help fix our meals. The management group is very responsive and eager to help. The central location in the territory is perfect for any activity. We've enjoyed our three visits and will definitely rent again and can highly recommend this rental property for your next visit to Eagle Ridge.

We had a great stay in this completely updated townhome in The Galena Territory. Unit was extremely clean with all new floors, bathroom tile, fixtures, and vanities, kitchen cabinets, counters, and appliances. While we didn't use the wood burning fireplace, we did use the Weber grill. Kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, dinner and glassware, and utensils. Location was perfect and check in/check out was simple, as was communicating with the management service. When in Galena, be sure to visit The Galena Bakehouse. It's amazing! We're already planning another stay. We highly recommend you rent this lovely place. You won't be disappointed.

The house was a favorite for everyone who stayed! It is close to the golf courses and you have access to the Galena Territory Owners’ Club pool. There are 5 bedrooms all with their own bathrooms. The yard is quiet and perfect for morning coffee. We saw turkeys and deer from the patio. The game room is a wonderful thing to have on site. Everything was very clean and had all of the things we needed. With the garage empty and two driveways there is ample parking.

The property was as advertised. The bedrooms are very spacious. 4 of the bedrooms had king beds and the other had 2 queens. The game room was a great entertainment room with video games, pool, shuffleboard, chairs/tables and a TV. The property was located only minutes from the Owners Club and had 8-10 passes available. The outdoors had a nice hot tub, fire pit and gas grill. There was a storm the night before our check-in, but the owner and management team did a great job of clean upon our arrival. I would highly recommend this property and would absolutely stay there again. The Owners Club was awesome. There were two pools - one for the little kids. The main pool had nice water slides for the older kids. The clubhouse had an indoor basketball court, ping pong tables, great exercise room and much more. The onsite grille had burgers, chicken strips, beverages, etc. at very reasonable prices.

We loved staying here with our grown kids and grandkids. We were also there 3 years ago and noticed the improvements since then. The new firepit is great! The new microwave was a welcome sight. As before, the game room and the hot tub were things everyone loved. Everything was clean and ready for us.
One thing that we wanted to point out for future guests is the oven itself is quite small, and we had a hard time finding pans in the kitchen that fit the oven. Pretty hard to heat up multiple trays of french fries for example. Also it seems to run hotter than it was set for.
One morning we had no hot water, but figured out how to reset the water heater, so it wasn't a big deal.
Other than that we were very pleased and hope to return in the future.

It was only last weekend we were there and are already scheming how/when to go back! Rented this 7 months prior to planned event (daughter's wedding weekend at Eagle Ridge) and am glad we did, as this rental is popular for large groups. Spacious, beautiful, homey and very accommodating with lots of beautiful spaces for entire group. Never did figure out how to use the microwave, but that might be on me. Enjoy your stay here...I suspect it will be memorable for all.

Our family rented Oakmont and 2 other homes nearby for a reunion of 26 people. Oakmont was WONDERFUL. We loved the bar area which we used for both serving a buffet meal or having the kids eat. The game room on the main floor meant that we could watch kids playing while still at the table. In addition, it was easy to step right outside to the grill or additional seating to eat or converse. This continuity made for good connection. The long table in the DR was wonderful and easily sat 16. The proximity to the owner's club made for easy access to the pool and game rooms. We highly recommend Oakmont for large groups.

This is the second time our family has stayed at this beautiful property. There were 11 of us with ages ranging from 10 to 77 years old, and it has enough bedrooms, bathrooms, and living space to spaciously accommodate all! The game room and hot tub are fabulous. The response from Management when I noticed there were no dishwasher detergent/pods was immediate, and were delivered to our door. The house/property is beautiful, clean, and within minutes to the Owners Club where we enjoyed the pool, basketball court, and gym. We would stay here again!

My family of 12 (10 adults and 2 kids) rented this house for a long weekend to celebrate my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. It was the perfct fit for all of us!! Big open space for all of us to congregate, but enough space for us to break off or get alone time. The place is beautiful and clean! I read other reviews about the garage refrigerator. Make sure to set it to cold when you first get there and give it time, by the following day it was just right. The hot tub was super clean and a fun extra addition while we had a fire outside. And everyone in the family was commenting on how comfortable the beds were. Some of the shower heads could use a good cleaning, hard water build up...2 of the 4 upstairs rooms were impossible to use, but we shared. We will definitely be coming back for future family trips.

Our favorite feature had to be the five bedrooms, each with there own bathroom. Very short ride to the Owner's club to swim. Scenery was awesome! A couple small issues. There was no Kleenex in the house when we arrived but a phone call solved the problem in minutes. Having the second fridge in the garage was terrific but when we arrived it was warm. A closer inspection revealed that it needed defrosting. We turned it off and let it sit overnight and problem was solved. We would go back in a minute if we could.

We have stayed in MANY Galena territory home rentals and this was our favorite one yet! This house has it all! We wished we had more time to enjoy everything! We have little ones so it was nice to have all the amenities on one floor instead of in the basement like more homes. My only suggestion to guests is to bring house slippers because the first floor has stone floors which are pretty hard on the feet. We loved the open layout and the game room!

The home was gorgeous and spacious. The game room was a huge bonus as it was blazing the week we went. Our only complaints were the oven was tiny for a 5 bedroom rental and the previous guests took 6 off the proximity cards home so I’m out the money it cost for Day passes. They offered to reimburse me if I went back to the owners club and requested a receipt but that wasn’t in our timeline. Also the furniture and bedding were a bit dated but we made do.
Manager response on 2022-06-18 - Response from Vacation Homes of Galena
Oakmont is a popular, large home that pleases most every guest - even Valarie said the home was GORGEOUS AND SPACIOUS. The moment we told Valarie we could not provide all of the passes due to a previous guests error, she was upset and stated she was "annoyed" (her words) several times during our conversation. UPDATED: THERE ARE 12 PROXIMITY CARDS IN THE HOME ONCE AGAIN!! We knew she was not happy and there was nothing this home or we could have done to change that. As she stated we offered to reimburse her but she didn't have time to provide the receipt with the out of pocket cost for that. We hope future guests can see our other great reviews and make an easy, informed decision that Oakmont Lodge is a great place to getaway to while in Galena.

This was our second visit! It works perfectly for our family at Thanksgiving. From our visit last year, we noticed several updates - including the new fire pit!

We had an issue with the hot tub upon arrival and they called someone right away and it was fixed.

We will definitely be back!

The house was a favorite for everyone who stayed! It is close to the golf courses and you have access to the Galena Territory Owners’ Club pool. There are 5 bedrooms all with their own bathrooms. The yard is quiet and perfect for morning coffee. We saw turkeys and deer from the patio. The game room is a wonderful thing to have on site. Everything was very clean and had all of the things we needed. With the garage empty and two driveways there is ample parking.

The property was as advertised. The bedrooms are very spacious. 4 of the bedrooms had king beds and the other had 2 queens. The game room was a great entertainment room with video games, pool, shuffleboard, chairs/tables and a TV. The property was located only minutes from the Owners Club and had 8-10 passes available. The outdoors had a nice hot tub, fire pit and gas grill. There was a storm the night before our check-in, but the owner and management team did a great job of clean upon our arrival. I would highly recommend this property and would absolutely stay there again. The Owners Club was awesome. There were two pools - one for the little kids. The main pool had nice water slides for the older kids. The clubhouse had an indoor basketball court, ping pong tables, great exercise room and much more. The onsite grille had burgers, chicken strips, beverages, etc. at very reasonable prices.

The home was beautiful and in Great Shape! The weather was very scary at times to say the least. 90 mile per hour winds and side ways rain made for an interesting nite. the small tree by the driveway was cracked in two, the BBQ on the PAtio was blown over and moved. it was just an amazing storm!!! But we all Loved the stay and will repeat next year!

We loved staying here with our grown kids and grandkids. We were also there 3 years ago and noticed the improvements since then. The new firepit is great! The new microwave was a welcome sight. As before, the game room and the hot tub were things everyone loved. Everything was clean and ready for us.
One thing that we wanted to point out for future guests is the oven itself is quite small, and we had a hard time finding pans in the kitchen that fit the oven. Pretty hard to heat up multiple trays of french fries for example. Also it seems to run hotter than it was set for.
One morning we had no hot water, but figured out how to reset the water heater, so it wasn't a big deal.
Other than that we were very pleased and hope to return in the future.

This unit was an excellent choice for our family getaway weekend. It has plenty of bedrooms with an actual bed for everyone (not a sleeper sofa etc..). The game room was a hit for everyone especially the Pac Man video game. I asked for more firewood to be delivered and management responded immediately. We will definitely return to this unit.

This home is clean and well appointed. Each room is tastefully decorated and there is ample space for everyone! It’s a wonderful place to stay with a large family and each bedroom has its own bathroom! The kitchen/dining/family room combo is wide open and extremely comfortable. The game room is an added bonus! Would highly recommend this rental as your home away from home while visiting Galena!

Our family stayed in the Galena house fir a long weekend. 8 adults and 4 kids. Plenty of room and the game room and hottub were a Hugh hit! Everyone had plenty of room and so much to do. We could all sit down at the Hugh dining set and eat together as a family.

We had a wedding nearby and wanted to stay with family. The house was a great size and very accommodating to our group. We enjoyed the game room a lot as well as the hot tub. We also enjoyed going up to the indoor and outdoor pool with our kids. We have already recommended this property and Vacations of Galena to our friends. Property Management was very professional and helpful whenever I reached out. We hope to be back soon!

What a wonderful property! Felt very secluded even tho other homes were nearby. All rooms were large including the bedrooms. AC worked fantastic as we stayed on the hottest days of summer. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. The mattresses were very comfortable. Gourmet kitchen was fantastic. Game room was plentiful and fun. Booked the next years stay immediately before we left! That says it all about this property.

Our family rented Oakmont and 2 other homes nearby for a reunion of 26 people. Oakmont was WONDERFUL. We loved the bar area which we used for both serving a buffet meal or having the kids eat. The game room on the main floor meant that we could watch kids playing while still at the table. In addition, it was easy to step right outside to the grill or additional seating to eat or converse. This continuity made for good connection. The long table in the DR was wonderful and easily sat 16. The proximity to the owner's club made for easy access to the pool and game rooms. We highly recommend Oakmont for large groups.

There were 11 of us with ages ranging from 10 to 77 years old, and it has enough bedrooms, bathrooms, and living space to spaciously accommodate all! The game room and hot tub are fabulous. The response from Management when I noticed there were no dishwasher detergent/pods was immediate, and were delivered to our door. The house/property is beautiful, clean, and within minutes to the Owners Club where we enjoyed the pool, basketball court, and gym. We would stay here again!

Rented this 7 months prior to planned event (daughter's wedding weekend at Eagle Ridge) and am glad we did, as this rental is popular for large groups. Spacious, beautiful, homey and very accommodating with lots of beautiful spaces for entire group. Never did figure out how to use the microwave, but that might be on me. Enjoy your stay here...I suspect it will be memorable for all.

The home was gorgeous and spacious. The game room was a huge bonus as it was blazing the week we went. Our only complaints were the oven was tiny for a 5 bedroom rental and the previous guests took 6 off the proximity cards home so I’m out the money it cost for Day passes. They offered to reimburse me if I went back to the owners club and requested a receipt but that wasn’t in our timeline. Also the furniture and bedding were a bit dated but we made do.

Manager's Response

Oakmont is a popular, large home that pleases most every guest - even Valarie said the home was GORGEOUS AND SPACIOUS. The moment we told Valarie we could not provide all of the passes due to a previous guests error, she was upset and stated she was "annoyed" (her words) several times during our conversation. UPDATED: THERE ARE 12 PROXIMITY CARDS IN THE HOME ONCE AGAIN!! We knew she was not happy and there was nothing this home or we could have done to change that. As she stated we offered to reimburse her but she didn't have time to provide the receipt with the out of pocket cost for that. We hope future guests can see our other great reviews and make an easy, informed decision that Oakmont Lodge is a great place to getaway to while in Galena.

We have stayed in MANY Galena territory home rentals and this was our favorite one yet! This house has it all! We wished we had more time to enjoy everything! We have little ones so it was nice to have all the amenities on one floor instead of in the basement like more homes. My only suggestion to guests is to bring house slippers because the first floor has stone floors which are pretty hard on the feet. We loved the open layout and the game room! We didn’t get in the hot tub but the water was nice and warm. Definitely will be staying here again!

Very good. We cleaned the grill A LOT! There was an inch of build up in the bottom pan as well as the grease trap was full. We understood we needed to clean the grill after we were done and did. I sharpened the knives in the kitchen and bought some chalk for the pool table. Great fun. The refrigerator in the garage may be on its way out. Seemed a little hard to get cool, but we put a lot of stuff in it, too. Great time and thank you.

My family of 12 (10 adults and 2 kids) rented this house for a long weekend to celebrate my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. It was the perfct fit for all of us!! Big open space for all of us to congregate, but enough space for us to break off or get alone time. The place is beautiful and clean! I read other reviews about the garage refrigerator. Make sure to set it to cold when you first get there and give it time, by the following day it was just right. The hot tub was super clean and a fun extra addition while we had a fire outside. And everyone in the family was commenting on how comfortable the beds were. Some of the shower heads could use a good cleaning, hard water build up...2 of the 4 upstairs rooms were impossible to use, but we shared. We will definitely be coming back for future family trips.

This home beautiful and great for our group of 7 adults, 4 kids and 2 dogs. Loved the large open concept and table for 12. The attached game room got plenty of use. Our favorite feature had to be the five bedrooms, each with there own bathroom. Very short ride to the Owner's club to swim. Scenery was awesome! A couple small issues. There was no Kleenex in the house when we arrived but a phone call solved the problem in minutes. Having the second fridge in the garage was terrific but when we arrived it was warm. A closer inspection revealed that it needed defrosting. We turned it off and let it sit overnight and problem was solved. We would go back in a minute if we could.

The rest of the house was beautiful and allowed for us to share meals and down-time together. The game room and hot tub were a hit with the bigger "kids" in the group.

Linda was very accommodating to our reservation requests. We were so grateful to have our own game room, as most of the Territory Owner's club was closed due to Covid-19.

We pride ourselves on our quick responses and constant communication. We responded several times to this guest - multiple emails over many days.

We enjoyed this house very much! It was clean, well equipped kitchen, and plenty of room indoors and out. Really enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit. The backyard is quiet and peaceful. This home is very comfy. We also appreciated the use of the 2 stall garage. The only con is that the master bath shower is very tiny and the outlet to use to plug in hairdryers, etc. is right above the sink faucet, which was very inconvenient to use. Not enough space in between faucet and outlet to maneuver plugging items in. We will definitely book this house again.

The home backs up to a forest with nearby walking trails and although we did not use it, the owners even allow you to park in their garage. The master bedroom is on the first floor which is great for anyone who has difficulty with stairs.
We have been renting homes from Vacation Homes of Galena for several years and Linda is great to work with: always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we may have. I'm sure we will return.

We had 7 girls in this house for my bachelorette party. The house was wonderful, loved having bathrooms off of each bedroom and a great, open common space. Our biggest issue is that, being so far out in the territories, it was super expensive to get a taxi into town. We weren't able to get out to any of the wineries because we didn't want to have to assign DDs and it would've been over $100 round trip in a taxi.

High Ridge Run is an awesome home in the Galena Territory. Like this guest said it's got space and is very clean and cozy. The locations of the homes are visible prior to booking so if you need proximity to Galena consider one of our homes in town, the joy of being in the Territory is nature and all the space. $100 for 7 people is less than $15 each and kind of steal compared to a DUI! This house is amazing and we know you'll love it on High Ridge Run!

The home is about 5 minutes east of the territory clubhouse. It's very easy to find. If you arrive in the evening, there are solar lights to guide you up to the front door w/key box. Upon entering the home, you're presented with a new kitchen countertop and stainless appliances. There is a large kitchen table and kitchen island to eat at. The only thing we couldn't find was a drying rack. The living room has been updated with a new fireplace and stone work. The home was very clean when we arrived. The hot tub worked well and was in good condition. The arcade games up in the loft were a nice touch as too was the foosball table! We made a fire one night (was too cold/windy the other nights) with the provided wood and a lighter is available in the kitchen cabinets. There is a trail that you can walk and do a loop that starts on the east side of the property. It's very quiet and the neighbor is friendly. He feeds the turkeys and deer so look for them in the evening and morning while you sip a tea or coffee from the outdoor deck or screened in porch.

Loved it!

We had a group of 6 women spending the weekend in Galena, and this was the perfect place! Plenty of space, great living room for gathering, hot tub was a wonderful amenity, and we were so pleased to find a hiking trailhead literally in our backyard!

The house was even better than described. It was very clean and well stocked. We cooked all our meals in the home and found everything we needed. The outdoor spaces were clear of cobwebs and other debris that build up. Very nice! We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit , as well as, the Shenandoah Riding Center trail ride and seasonal Fear Forest.

Me and my best friend were looking for a relaxing yet fun weekend getaway for us and our kids. We were blown away at the beauty that surrounded us. Beautiful home all around and very well taken care of. Going to leave my car battery died and security showed up within minutes to give me a jump.

This house was perfect for 4 ladies for our girls getaway.

We booked a couple of weeks in the fall hoping to relax and enjoy the fall colors. We were not disappointed, the colors were spectacular and our stay was wonderful. The house was bright, clean and well maintained. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals during our visit. The home backs up to a forest with nearby walking trails and although we did not use it, the owners even allow you to park in their garage. The master bedroom is on the first floor which is great for anyone who has difficulty with stairs.
We have been renting homes from Vacation Homes of Galena for several years and Linda is great to work with: always quick to respond to any questions or concerns we may have. I'm sure we will return.

Had a weekend getaway with friends and the house was amazing. Very clean and everything was so easy from the email with the door access code, the pool passes left. I really love that there were instruction for everything in the house so we did not have to spend half our trip trying to figure out how to get on the Wi-Fi or turn the ceiling fans on. Even the video game had instructions!

The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, & had everything we needed and more. Due to heavy rain and severe weather in the area we weren't able to use the firepit but there was plenty of firewood provided at the home. The manager, Linda, was very nice and answered the phone right away when I called to asked how to reset the hot tub, which was very relaxing to sit in. We loved the house and had a lot of fun there!

Overall we had a great experience! Especially the assistance from the office staff as we had to make changes. Everyone is so helpful! The home was very clean and about 20 minutes from Main Street. We loved the screened In porch and the outdoor porch. We had some guests who had to work remotely and there was plenty of room to spread out. Two small observations: perhaps the front door could be painted and the trash instructions in the homes manual does not match the email I received. Such a great home!! Loved the fire pit and hot tub too.

We enjoyed this house very much! It was clean, well equipped kitchen, and plenty of room indoors and out. Really enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit. The backyard is quiet and peaceful. This home is very comfy. We also appreciated the use of the 2 stall garage. The only con is that the master bath shower is very tiny and the outlet to use to plug in hairdryers, etc. is right above the sink faucet, which was very inconvenient to use. Not enough space in between faucet and outlet to maneuver plugging items in. We will definitely book this house again.

Everything was great except for communication from owners. I emailed several times with no response. We are VRBO owners and we talk to our guests before during and after stay to be sure they are having a 5 star stay. I tried several times to contact owners with questions and NEVER got a response.

Manager's Response

Please note when you stay in one of our professionally managed homes you will not be working directly with the owner. You will have our support 24/7 through our app, our phone number or email. We pride ourselves on our quick responses and constant communication. We responded several times to this guest - multiple emails over many days. We think they may only be utilizing their VRBO Dashboard and not their email messages. We even called the guests when they were OVER OCCUPANCY by many people/cars and spoke with Steve, Jeanie answered the phone and passed us to him! Please feel secure knowing that when you stay at High Ridge Run or any other home in our family of homes you will have ease of communication with someone from A Great Escape!

The home is about 5 minutes east of the territory clubhouse. It's very easy to find. If you arrive in the evening, there are solar lights to guide you up to the front door w/key box. Upon entering the home, you're presented with a new kitchen countertop and stainless appliances. There is a large kitchen table and kitchen island to eat at. The only thing we couldn't find was a drying rack. The living room has been updated with a new fireplace and stone work. The home was very clean when we arrived. The hot tub worked well and was in good condition. The arcade games up in the loft were a nice touch as too was the foosball table! We made a fire one night (was too cold/windy the other nights) with the provided wood and a lighter is available in the kitchen cabinets. There is a trail that you can walk and do a loop that starts on the east side of the property. It's very quiet and the neighbor is friendly. He feeds the turkeys and deer so look for them in the evening and morning while you sip a tea or coffee from the outdoor deck or screened in porch.

Spent Thanksgiving 2019 here as it was the only place available large enough to host us (8 people). Overall, it was fine. We could have used a little more oven space but it's probably rare that the average guest will use the facility to prepare a large feast. The interior layout of the home is kind of weird, but it is fine. We had no issues and the host got back to us quickly with the one question we had.

We had 7 girls in this house for my bachelorette party. The house was wonderful, loved having bathrooms off of each bedroom and a great, open common space. Our biggest issue is that, being so far out in the territories, it was super expensive to get a taxi into town. We weren't able to get out to any of the wineries because we didn't want to have to assign DDs and it would've been over $100 round trip in a taxi.

Manager's Response

High Ridge Run is an awesome home in the Galena Territory. Like this guest said it's got space and is very clean and cozy. The locations of the homes are visible prior to booking so if you need proximity to Galena consider one of our homes in town, the joy of being in the Territory is nature and all the space. $100 for 7 people is less than $15 each and kind of steal compared to a DUI! This house is amazing and we know you'll love it on High Ridge Run!

Home was located in the Galena Territory which was very beautiful country and Not to far from downtown Galena. I would recommend this property to anyone.

7 ladies on a girls trip and it was a perfect rental! Super cute and super clean! We enjoyed being so close to Main Street. Basically right in the middle, so we went out and shopped one half of Main Street, took a break at the house, then shopped/dined on the other half of Main Street. Ideal! Finding street parking near the house was simple. The screened in porch would be nice to use, but our evenings were too hot to enjoy it. Heads up, one of the beds in the upstairs bedrooms is a Full (smaller size) - not a Queen. That was the only disappointment but we adjusted.

This house is so thoughtfully put together! It was perfect for our family with kids. It is an older house with an old steeper staircase to the second floor, so may not be the best for very young kids. There were so many fun amenities, like a record player and records, a neat drum, nesting dolls, etc. The staff were super responsive to questions through their easy-to-use app. The house is in an amazing location! So close to tons of restaurants, shops, and historic sites. The screened in porch on the back was lovely and kept the mosquitoes away in the evenings. The grill was so nice. The beds were comfy. We will definitely be staying here again! My only suggestion to this property would be to get better wifi. We had issues connecting multiple devices to it, but cell signal was strong there so we just tethered instead.

The Bench St house was a perfect place for our family to stay while in town celebrating our daughter's wedding. The wedding reception was held at Turner Hall (directly across the street) which made it very convenient for setup, the day of the wedding and then enjoying time in the downtown area (one block walk) for the remainder of the weekend. The house was clean and the decor great for pictures as the bride and bridesmaids were getting ready for the special occasion. In the early morning hours we enjoyed a cup of coffee on the back screened in porch. In the evening hours it was a gathering place for family and friends. The vinyl record player and selection of records was hit in our family as we have many musicians and music lovers. Thank you for the use of your home which will be part of the special occasion memories of our daughter and new husband's wedding for years to come.

We enjoyed this home from the moment we got there. There was plent of space for the 6 of us. The character of the home was wonderful. Enjoyed the chilly nights after walking main street, in front of the fireplace. Every room was clean and had plenty of coverings. The location of the home was perfect. Just one block away from main street. Very quaint neighborhood. The rooms were described as queen beds, but they did feel more like double beds but still comfy. There were plenty of towels provided in the bathroom. We enjoyed several downtown activities especially the Holidaze Feztival which was lovely. There were wonderful fireworks in the evening. I want just acknowledge that the property manager went above and beyond for us. We had a situation that we needed assistance with and the property manage was nothing but gracious and helpful and understanding. We appareciated this more than you know. That one situation stood above everything else. We can't thank you enough for not only a wonderful experience at the rental but the customer service we received.

Our group was made up of four adults and two young children. The house was the perfect size, and the location was great with it being just one block off Galena's Main Street.

The only small issue is the property has no onsite laundry machine when it advertises itself as having one. Not a very big deal however as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

There were 7 of us at Bench street. We loved many things about the house that was built in the 1850's. The old radiant water heat, some of the old round light switches, lots of character. All the bedrooms were large with nice beds, even the blow up was nice for a blow up and fit well in the study. Having just one full bath was never really a problem, however no one took a long shower. We could have found a fancier place in the territory but the convenience of being so close to main street was well worth it. We did not have to worry about cab calls and fees. The kitchen was well equipped, I cooked for everyone our first night there, we even played Apples to Apples. I hope to stay here in Galena again.

We have been staying Galena for ten years now. We have been at all different times of the year, but winter seems to be the time when we go the most. We have stayed in the territory and in town. This was our first year staying on Bench St. You CANNOT beat this location. You are a block and a half from Main St. and if you get lucky enough, you can even park right outside the front door. The house itself is somewhat misleading. I thought it would be a cramped stay for four people (even though it's a three bedroom), but much to my surprise there is a ton of room. A large dining area, the kitchen is a good size, and all the bedrooms surprisingly large for a house built in 1837. One major attraction of Galen is the history, and you get a lot of it with this house. You definitely know you are staying in a historical home, but it also has all the updates and amenities you could want. We did not have any problem with heat, hot water, efficiencies of any kind, or any other issues that might accompany an older home. The home was extremely clean with fresh paint in most of the rooms. So while you felt the history of the building, you didn't feel like it was old. I would recommend this house to anyone going to Galena for a social trip, shopping, bars, restaurants, or events at Turner Hall.Working with Linda is always a pleasure. We have never worked with any other rental company, b&b or hotel in the area. We see no reason to stray from perfection. We will definitely be going back to Galena and to this beautiful house on Bench St.

I generally do not write reviews, but I wanted to point out that there is a knot hole in the floor of the balcony/porch, and through it, hornets were entering the screened off area. I stuffed a napkin in the hole to keep the hornets out, but a more permanent solution should be found.

This home is NOT pet-friendly. *Golf Benefits: Ask about access to our Golf Membership! 2026 rates have not been released. This home is an amazing 1600 square feet. It feels spacious and welcoming, definitely not your typical downtown rental. When you pull up and locate your on-street parking (first come first serve) you will notice the immaculate exterior of the home. It is located directly across the street from Turner Hall and could accommodate a bridal group, guests at a function or just serve as a beautiful backdrop for your stay. Step inside from Bench Street and into the welcoming foyer. To the right, you’ll find a quiet study, and to the left, a cozy living room with an electric fireplace and a beautiful view of Turner Hall. There is plenty of comfortable seating and a flat screen tv for you to enjoy in this living space. NOTE: there is a sofa sleeper in the living room (please bring your own Queen size linens for sleeper). The dining room is large enough for everyone to gather and will be a great spot to enjoy meals and play games during your stay, the record player with vinyl is a sweet treat. Easy access to the kitchen with all major appliances and a Keurig coffee maker is handy for all. Enjoy the complimentary water in the refrigerator. Step out onto the screened back porch, a great place to relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The half bath is also located on the main level. Upstairs are the 3 bedrooms all with comfortable Queen beds and they share one full bathroom.

Our hiking group of 5 women decided to do a late fall trip to Galena to take in the beautiful area and enjoy some hikes. The rental house was in a great location to walk into town and get around to local hiking trails.

Our group loved the location to Main St Galena. We could stop back during the day leave our bags, grab a snack and head back to shopping and enjoying the Halloween parade. The house was clean and such great spaces. Dining area large and kitchen had bonus water and coffee. We've booked again next year!

The property lived up to our groups' expectations: ideal location for shopping, restaurants, bars, and activities on Main Street in Galena - we walked from the house everywhere we wanted to go. The property was quiet, clean and very lovely - we enjoyed spending time at the house as well and the beds were very comfortable.

7 ladies on a girls trip and it was a perfect rental! Super cute and super clean! We enjoyed being so close to Main Street. Basically right in the middle, so we went out and shopped one half of Main Street, took a break at the house, then shopped/dined on the other half of Main Street. Ideal! Finding street parking near the house was simple. The screened in porch would be nice to use, but our evenings were too hot to enjoy it. Heads up, one of the beds in the upstairs bedrooms is a Full (smaller size) - not a Queen. That was the only disappointment but we adjusted.

Fantastic experience. Great space to hang out in. We were worried about parking, but found spaces right in front of the house. Everything was in walking distance. The stairs were quite narrow and steep; could be difficult for some people.

We had a great four night stay at the Bench Street house. The house was clean, everything worked properly, and we loved the furniture/decorations. The record player was a hit with our family!

Our group was made up of four adults and two young children. The house was the perfect size, and the location was great with it being just one block off Galena's Main Street.

The only small issue is the property has no onsite laundry machine when it advertises itself as having one. Not a very big deal however as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

An excellent location to walk Galena.
Parking is not reserved, but most of Galena has free overnight street parking. Parking spots were available within a block of the house.
The half bath on the main floor was very convenient as it reduced the amount of stairs needed to use a restroom for older people in our group.
Screened in back porch was enjoyed as well.

We had a wonderful time in Galena this past weekend and the accommodations were wonderful! Close to everything; within walking distance to Main St. Yes, there are stairs involved both in the house and going to Main St., my sister with a knee replacement did just fine on both fronts. The home is beautiful, very clean, roomy & comfy beds, nice shower. Kitchen accommodations are excellent. We'll definitely stay here again on another trip. Highly recommend!!

We enjoyed this home from the moment we got there. There was plent of space for the 6 of us. The character of the home was wonderful. Enjoyed the chilly nights after walking main street, in front of the fireplace. Every room was clean and had plenty of coverings. The location of the home was perfect. Just one block away from main street. Very quaint neighborhood. The rooms were described as queen beds, but they did feel more like double beds but still comfy. There were plenty of towels provided in the bathroom. We enjoyed several downtown activities especially the Holidaze Feztival which was lovely. There were wonderful fireworks in the evening. I want just acknowledge that the property manager went above and beyond for us. We had a situation that we needed assistance with and the property manage was nothing but gracious and helpful and understanding. We appareciated this more than you know. That one situation stood above everything else. We can't thank you enough for not only a wonderful experience at the rental but the customer service we received. We will definetly be back and we definetly will recommend this location to others. THANK YOU!

The Bench St house was a perfect place for our family to stay while in town celebrating our daughter's wedding. The wedding reception was held at Turner Hall (directly across the street) which made it very convenient for setup, the day of the wedding and then enjoying time in the downtown area (one block walk) for the remainder of the weekend. The house was clean and the decor great for pictures as the bride and bridesmaids were getting ready for the special occasion. In the early morning hours we enjoyed a cup of coffee on the back screened in porch. In the evening hours it was a gathering place for family and friends. The vinyl record player and selection of records was hit in our family as we have many musicians and music lovers. Thank you for the use of your home which will be part of the special occasion memories of our daughter and new husband's wedding for years to come.

This is a great home in the HEART OF DOWNTOWN GALENA!! Per the listing parking is first come first serve so please plan accordingly. Once you park if you are staying downtown the entire stay you will never need to move your vehicle. It's 150 steps to Main St and it's Marvelous!

This house is so thoughtfully put together! It was perfect for our family with kids. It is an older house with an old steeper staircase to the second floor, so may not be the best for very young kids. There were so many fun amenities, like a record player and records, a neat drum, nesting dolls, etc. The staff were super responsive to questions through their easy-to-use app. The house is in an amazing location! So close to tons of restaurants, shops, and historic sites. The screened in porch on the back was lovely and kept the mosquitoes away in the evenings. The grill was so nice. The beds were comfy. We will definitely be staying here again! My only suggestion to this property would be to get better wifi. We had issues connecting multiple devices to it, but cell signal was strong there so we just tethered instead.

The screened deck on the back of the house is the perfect place to sit and chat over coffee in the morning or drinks at night. 100% would recommend.

Overall the house was very clean, roomy and such a great location just a block off the main street in Galena. One thing I would suggest the owner do is to replace the lock on the door. It was easy to retrieve the key from the lockbox, however it took quite a bit of time to get the door to unlock.

Manager's Response

We are so glad this guest enjoyed our Bench St home. We will definitely check out the front door lock. Check out our location it's so convenient to downtown and now with the main st blocked off for summer enjoyment it's a perfect home base.

We have been staying Galena for ten years now. We have been at all different times of the year, but winter seems to be the time when we go the most. We have stayed in the territory and in town. This was our first year staying on Bench St. You CANNOT beat this location. You are a block and a half from Main St. and if you get lucky enough, you can even park right outside the front door. The house itself is somewhat misleading. I thought it would be a cramped stay for four people (even though it's a three bedroom), but much to my surprise there is a ton of room. A large dining area, the kitchen is a good size, and all the bedrooms surprisingly large for a house built in 1837. One major attraction of Galen is the history, and you get a lot of it with this house. You definitely know you are staying in a historical home, but it also has all the updates and amenities you could want. We did not have any problem with heat, hot water, efficiencies of any kind, or any other issues that might accompany an older home. The home was extremely clean with fresh paint in most of the rooms. So while you felt the history of the building, you didn't feel like it was old. I would recommend this house to anyone going to Galena for a social trip, shopping, bars, restaurants, or events at Turner Hall.Working with Linda is always a pleasure. We have never worked with any other rental company, b&b or hotel in the area. We see no reason to stray from perfection. We will definitely be going back to Galena and to this beautiful house on Bench St.

We had a wonderful stay at this historic home, which is a block away from Galena's lively Main Street, with its shops and restaurants. Beautifully furnished, the place felt homey and comfortable. The maintenance is excellent and the management could not have been more helpful. We spent time reading and writing (the place has a couple of great spaces to work), as well as biking the lovely Galena River Trail and wandering the historic streets of Galena. So relaxing. This was our second stay in this home, and it won't be our last.

This was our second year staying at the house. Everything was excellent, and as expected. I generally do not write reviews, but I wanted to point out that there is a knot hole in the floor of the balcony/porch, and through it, hornets were entering the screened off area. I stuffed a napkin in the hole to keep the hornets out, but a more permanent solution should be found.

We went for my sister’s bachelorette party and we had the best time! The property is adorable and so spacious! We had a big group of girls and it never once felt crowded! We stayed in and played games the first night and there was plenty of room. The only downside is there is only one shower if you do have the full capacity, but it was never really a huge issue for us. They were so well stocked providing bottled water, coffee and other kitchen essentials. I did end up calling Linda for one question and she couldn’t have been sweeter and more helpful! Asking us if we were enjoying our stay and wanted to be sure we did! I would recommend this rental to anyone!

Could not have chosen a better home for our trip to Galena! Location was perfect - 1 block from the main strip of restaurants and shops. We fell out the front door and were steps from everything we wanted to do. The home was spotless and extremely comfortable. Each of three bedrooms had a ceiling fan, ample pillows and blankets and a tv with cable/OnDemand. There was also an electric fan which is always nice to have. We really appreciated the complimentary coffee and bottled water as well. My only suggestion would be to provide more than one key in case guests want to do different things and don't want to worry about coordinating return times. We had a wonderful trip to Galena and were so glad we stayed here!

The rooms were spacious, The house was extremely clean and inviting, there was plenty of room in the living room that welcomed conversation, and the kitchen had more than enough amenities to make us feel like we were in our own home. I cannot say enough about the location! Being right up the hill from where all of the action was, made this girls weekend effortless! We are already talking about coming back! Management laid out the directions for us very clearly, and utilizing that app was even better. Management called to make sure we were OK, answered emails very timely.

There were 7 of us at Bench street. We loved many things about the house that was built in the 1850's. The old radiant water heat, some of the old round light switches, lots of character. All the bedrooms were large with nice beds, even the blow up was nice for a blow up and fit well in the study. Having just one full bath was never really a problem, however no one took a long shower. We could have found a fancier place in the territory but the convenience of being so close to main street was well worth it. We did not have to worry about cab calls and fees. The kitchen was well equipped, I cooked for everyone our first night there, we even played Apples to Apples. I hope to stay here in Galena again.
