Couples weekend at Cogan
Recent Guest, N/A, CO United States
Cozy home with everything you need to enjoy your stay!
Good location, plenty of space
Recent Guest, Lisle, IL US
Rental was clean and met our needs for the weekend. Plenty of space for 4 friends to spread out and great common areas to catch up.
Amazing Property!
Tina B., Cedar rapids, IA US
This property was peaceful, clean, and easy to rent. The hot tub is great, the spacious house and great Master. Would recommend!
Great Stay at Cogan!!!
Matthew N., Arlington Heights, IL United States
We had a great stay at this property. Management was great, and communicated promptly. House was in great shape and very clean. Had everything we needed. Beautiful views from the deck and just a great stay. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Location was so nice and quiet. A couple trails nearby to walk on as well.
GREAT!
Raeann S., N/A, CO United States
My rental experience was such a tremendous experience. The house was clean with specific directions on what we needed to do to check-in and check-out.
Relaxing getaway for family of all ages.
Recent Guest, Gurnee, IL 60031-1315, IL US
Enjoyed our stay very much. Fun for every age group in our family - ages 3 to 62. The sofas were a pretty worn, but beds were very comfortable. A lot of room in the house for family of 8, and plenty of space outside as well as fairly private. Beautiful area and the club house made it a perfect getaway for us.
Wonderful
Lisa S., Hometown, IL US
Great home and location to visit for the whole family.
Home Away from Home
michelle p., Evanston, IL United States
It was a perfect place for our family to meet up. With the hot tub, board games, game room, and grill, we had plenty to do without having to go into town. We had a lovely view of the wildlife and amazing sunset off the back deck.
Quick Getaway
Recent Guest, Omaha, NE United States
Everything was just as described. Great location. Close to the Owner’s club. Had a great time exploring Galena, Dubuque and the Territory. Made great use of the hot tub and the pool table as well. Would definitely rent again!
Great weekend getaway!
Recent Guest, Cantrall, IL Unknown
Wonderful cozy home. Short trip to skiing over a long weekend. This is our second time staying in this house and we would definitely go back!
Great Galena Stay!

Nice house. Management took care of our needs.
Great family get together
Recent Guest, Dubuque, IA United States
This was our fourth annual family get together at a Galena Escape property.
This home was beautiful, clean and well stocked. It had a beautiful large hot tub, new gas grill, and great fire pit area with new chairs. We were concerned that the internet phone service was non existent. In fact, the first night. The landline didn’t work either. Our cell phones stated we had SOS
mode. The day we departed our cell phones were working. Linda and Gail are always prompt in returning our e-mails or phone calls.
Manager's Response
We are always happy to host our repeat guests Don and his family. Cogan is a great backdrop for family and friends. Please note the cell service in the area can be spotty and if you notice an issue with internet or landline please let us know ASAP so we can make the appropriate calls. We are always available to our guests via app, email, text or phone!
Great home with wonderful amenities
Sue J., Carmel, IN US
Great home and location. Cell service is very weak in the house.
Manager's Response
Thanks so much for the fabulous review! Just a reminder the house doesn't provide cell service, that's the area! US Cellular works best in the Galena Territory.
136 Cogan Dr August 1-4
Donna H., Moline, IL United States
Overall a very good experience. Easy to rent, check in and check out. All mechanicals working well. Great location close to pool and marina but remote enough for lots of peace and quiet. Home was clean enough but needs a deep clean - kitchen walls especially. Liked the list of items to bring from the rental company. Need to add soap for the showers as there was nothing provided but hand soap at the sinks.
Manager's Response
Thanks for the great feedback! Future guests please read your check in instructions - we provide everything BUT the toiletries, you will need to bring these with. We supply firewood, propane, hand soap, laundry soap, dish soap, dish pods, paper towels and toilet paper! The homes are cleaned by a professional housekeeping company and like most homes in the area Cogan has been extremely busy. It will have deep a cleaning in the Fall after the summer season but the cleanings in between every stay are excellent!
Family vacation
Joseph N., Spring Valley, IL United States
This was the thrid time we have stayed at Cogan drive and never disappoints. The house is in great location and offers plenty of activities for the whole family. The home was very clean and the communication about check in and check out was excellent. Look forward to staying here again.
House for Grooms Parents
Recent Guest, Elkhorn, WI US
My husband and I stayed at this property for my son's wedding, which was at Oakhill Farm. It was a 25-minute drive from the venue. As the groom's mom it was a little ways away on roads I am not familiar with but worth it.
Our Keurig broke on the 3rd day, I called the manager immediately, and they had a new one there within the hour. My only recommendation to others, plan accordingly if you want to go to the Owners Club to use the exercise room/ pool (GO EARLY). We couldn't get a spot and had to leave, and that was 10:30 a.m.
Side Note: We had the rehearsal dinner at Eagle Ridge / Highlands Restaurant, the staff was amazing. We loved that it was only 6 minutes up the road. We enjoyed our stay, glad we chose it.
Vacation review
Sharon M., Downers grove, IL United States
We had such a wonderful time and the home was clean, reasonably priced and close to downtown.
Great Galena Territory Vacation Home
Deanna B., Box Elder, SD US
My family of 7 of us had a great stay. The place was exactly as described on VRBO. Plenty of space for all the adults and the grandkids. The grandkids really loved the game room the best. We liked the outside fire pit with plenty of chairs for everyone as well. Highly recommend
Great Weekend Getaway Rental
Recent Guest, Lisbon, IA US
Great house for a family gathering. The home was very clean and had all the basic needs available. Comfortable furnishing's. The multigame arcade console was really cool. Had alot of older games. Pool table was great. Some items need to be replaced like the chairs around the fire pit were plastic and a couple were unusable but we had brought our own camping chairs so no big deal. Grill was useable but has seem better days. Hot tub was clean and ready to go. Very peaceful surroundings and beautiful views. Overall a great weekend getaway home!
Galena home
Monica C., Moline, IL US
Nothing to complain about.
Best place for a girls weekend
Myra V., Des Moines, IA US
The house was great! It was tucked away in a area that gave us a cabin like feel. The space was well laid out to where we all had enough seating in the common areas. Thw hot tub was perfect! The only small feedback was the bed in the master suite, it was super uncomfortable.
Friends weekend
Jennifer L., N/A, CO United States
We had a great time. There were 3 couples and we each had nice, private space and the together space was great too. It was wonderful to have use of the garage as well. The lot was beautiful and very relaxing. Would love to stay here again.
Wonderful Stay
Nick C., Warrenville, IL US
We loved this house, from the beautiful neighborhood to the bedrooms to the hot tub, fire pit, and game room. We loved watching deer and other animals in the early morning hours make their way through the backyard. We loved looking at the stars. We also really appreciated the owner's club. We'd stay again!
Girls Weekend Getaway
Kathy T., Cedar Rapids, IA United States
We enjoyed our stay in this home. It was clean and well equipped. Bonus having a garage to park in as well as extra fridge in garage. However, the fridge did not get very cold to get beverages cold even though it was set on coldest setting. We also had problems with the ignitor on the gas grill working, so took awhile to get lit. The cell phone reception is pretty spotty and poor at times. Other than these minor issues, we really like this home and plan on staying again.
Girls Trip 2022
Samantha V., Wellsburg, IA United States
We had an AMAZING time at the house! we even decided to stay in saturday instead of going out we loved it so much. we will definitely be staying in your house again! The hot tub was great along with pool and of course the Pac Man game!
The beds were comfortable and the rooms were a perfect size. Thank you so much for being so accommodating.
Spacious and well equipped!
Hillary Y., Irvine, NA US
It was great having a bathroom and room for each of the three couples, we had a baby with us as well and everything was quiet. Enjoyed our stay
Sibling getaway
Laura S., Elmwood Park, IL United States
We enjoyed our stay in the Cogan house. We used the outdoor firepit both of our 2 nights and it was beautiful. A few things that needed changing were the toilets. They are all abnormally low. Also the bed in the upstairs front bedroom needs to be replaced. It's too soft and seems smaller than a queen size. Might be a full size. My cell phone could not get a signal. Aside from these things, we did enjoy our stay and would use this house again in the future.

eagle ridge road property
MARILYN M., WHEELING, IL US
very nice home had a wonderful time very clean good customerservice when i called managing service nice game room downstairs wish weather was warmer so could take advantage of using hot tub would recommend this property only disadvantage for us elderly couple was the darkness when returning home on winding roads tried to be in before dark good location for a base to do touring in galina
Manager's Response
Please note this property is not part of Eagle Ridge or on Eagle Ridge Road!! Our Cogan Dr is an amazing home! Hundreds of 5* reviews. If darkness is a turn off please consider staying somewhere in an urban area - Galena prides itself in being part of the dark sky alliance. They encourage home owners to keep their lights low or off so all can enjoy the night time sky and stars. Yes the roads are windy but that's what everyone loves. Galena Country is unlike any other!
A great long weekend getaway !
Recent Guest, Nevada, IA United States
We have always had great stays when booking through Vacation Hones of Galena. The homes are always as described and well outfitted! Cohan Drive was great for our stay. The only little disappointment was ... and it’s NOT a big deal and was more on us and checking descriptions... but for three couples sharing the cost of a get away the third bedroom is quite small... the tiny dresser had to be in the closet and no tv in that room. We did fine but it might have been a better home for our family stay with the kids in that room. The house itself was great and the hot tub large and so nice to use . Again the bedroom issue was more our fault for not reading well and we still really enjoyed the house and recommend it highly! A bonus was access to the garage since it was raining when we arrived so unloading was much nicer and the extra fridge in the garage was terrific for stocking up all the waters and beverages ! Thanks for another great Galena weekend!
Manager's Response
Thanks for the great review of our Cogan home. We would like to reiterate that looking at the house pictures, reading the descriptions and asking questions are crucial to a great stay.

AMAZING home to stay in at Galena
Recent Guest, Irvine, NA US
We LOVED this home. It was spectacular!! Spotless. We cannot wait to come back and stay again. Thank you.
A nice getaway for a family
Recent Guest, United States
The home was beautiful and large enough for many to enjoy. My only complaint is the tolites are so small and low to the ground. It made it very difficult for my grandmother to use and even myself.
Girls trip
Recent Guest, Oak Creek, WI US
We had a group of 7 of us stay at this home for our annual girls trip. We absolutely loved the house, the view, and the hot tub. The drive to the property was beautiful and not too far from town. The house was clean and everything in working order. Plenty of room for all of us!
Wonderful stay!
Recent Guest, Elmwood Park, IL United States
Our stay in Galena was fantastic! This house is beautiful, clean and very well maintained. We all enjoyed the pool table and the PacMan game which was a new one for us. I would say that the internet and cell phone service was a little sketchy. We would definitely stay in this house again.

This was our second time staying at this property. We really enjoy this home because of the location close to owners club and the hot tub, pool table and video game makes it fun for the adults and kids.
Fabulous place to stay
Monica J., Creve Coeur, IL US
It was wonderful. What a beautiful area and the house we rented was more than adequate. We had a fabulous time and would highly recommend rending this place for your stay in Galena.
Nice mini-vacation stay
Carrie Z., Irvine, NA US
We loved the house - it reminded me of my grandparents’ home in Apple Canyon Lake. We ended the hottub with its cool multicolored lights, roasted hot dogs and made s’mores over the fire pit, enjoyed the fireplace while watching movies, and played games in the lower level. We also loved going over to the owner’s club to swim in the pool. It’s a little bit of a hilly drive to the shops and restaurants but once we got used to it (again), it was nice and scenic. Overall, it was a fun and relaxing getaway within a two hour drive from home (Dekalb, IL).
Valley View Vacation
Stacey H., Clinton, IL United States
We enjoyed our stay! The house was very nice and extremely clean. The only possible negative we would give the house is that it is not handicap accessible. Our suggestion would be to add a handrail to the front and garage entrances. Would also suggest a taller toilet in the upstairs master bathroom. We traveled with my elderly parents and this was difficult for them.
Manager's Response
Future guests - please note this home is not advertised as handicap accessible. These are vacation homes and if you need this type of amenity be sure to filter your search for it when choosing a home. The garage has one step up into the home from the garage and the front has one step, there is no feasible way to attach a handrailing at either location. The owners have furnished and provided a lovely home for you and your group to enjoy. The hot tub, pool table, large yard and amazing location near the Owners Club are all amenities your group will be sure to enjoy.
Great place
Ross A., Irvine, NA US
The house was lovely with almost anything you could think to need. The location is great being outside of town but a quick and easy drive in. Next trip we take to the area, we hope to use again.
Great Getaway
Heather B., Griffith, IN US
This home is a great rental! It's proximity to town is wonderful. The basement has a wonderful game room! The arcade game has a ton of fun old school games to chose from! The hot tub was great for winding down in a serene atmosphere! Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Had a great time in this well equipped home. Especially enjoyed the kitchen with ample wares to make most any meal. The hot tub was a hit with our kids (on the coldest weekend of 2021!!) and the gaming table entertained all. My husband's should still hurts from the Galaga game!

Spacious house for 2 couples. Loved the open layout of the kitchen/dining room/living room. Enjoyed the hot tub, pool table, and games in the basement, as well as the walking trail behind the house.
Great escape
Linda T., Irvine, NA US
We had a great stay. The place was lovely and spacious, with lots for us to do. It was the perfect setting for a winter getaway, with a hot tub, game room, and fireplace. We didn’t use the pool room or any of the other amenities, but we really enjoyed our stay.
Family Thanksgiving
Recent Guest, Tipton, IA US
We had a great time! The pictures of the house make it look bigger than it is, however it still had more than enough space for our family of 8! The kitchen is very well stocked , the garage was a nice feature, the outdoor space is wonderful, the pool table was well used and the pac man table wa# a huge hit! We really enjoyed the house!

Wonderful!! Home was a perfect setting for our annual fall getaway in Galena - so many amenities at home that allowed us to stay in rather than being out during the Covid-19 restrictions
Great getaway
Vicky A., Mahomet , IL US
We had everything we needed. Well equipped home. They had ample firewood, hot tub and a fireplace in the living room that we used a lot. Very clean, comfortable beds. Not many pillows, bring your own. Internet service was spotty, but they had a land line. Beautiful country

My family of 4 had a great time at the Cogan house. Everything was as pictured. The A/C had some trouble our 2nd day, we contacted Linda and she took care of it immediately. Service was called and it was back up and running within the hour. My little guy really loves "his" new Green Galena house. We plan on returning!

Spring Break Getaway
Melissa S., United States
We had a wonderful getaway at this beautiful property. The house was meticulous and tastefully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked, towels were plentiful and the onsite activities were perfect. We all enjoyed the hot tub, fireplace, pool table and the Pac-Man video game(s). I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a relaxing, fun filled weekend. (And, the property management company was fantastic to work with.)
Galena Getaway
Recent Guest, Mukwonago, WI Unknown
What a beautiful, well accommodating home for multiple couples to enjoy a relaxing vacation. Very close to owners club, and not far from downtown Galena.
Cozy fireplace, relaxing hot tub, fun recreation with pool table, arcade games, and board games. All kitchen essentials provided.
Description of the property was completely accurate. We would definitely recommend this property!
We enjoyed the food and service at Dirty Gurt’s Burger Joynt, and shopping downtown Galena. Tried Galena Brewing Company, brews were ok. Really liked Blaum Brothers Distilling. Food at Vinny Vanucchi’s left a lot to be desired.
Overall our Galena experience and stay was excellent!!
Wonderful house
Jon M., Irvine, NA US
We had a great time staying at the house. Very nice location and the home is very beautiful and well taken care of.
Wonderful!
Joyce P., Davenport, IA United States
Very clean, cozy home! Views were beautiful! No complaints at all! I must say if you need to stay connected to home the cell coverage was spotty to non existent at times. A drive up the road connected. The home sits a little low in the beautiful, rolling hills of the territory.
Great Getaway
Recent Guest, Davenport, IA United States
This house is stocked with amenities. Great location right near owner's club and tons of privacy. Wonderful kitchen and outdoor space.
Hot tub was a nice perk, and certainly one not found in the lower-end duplex rentals in the Territories.
Overall a great value.
Most of the space was spotless, but one of the fitted sheets was pretty stained and the elastic was torn. Pillows could use an upgrade as well.

Galena is a great weekend spot. Home was clean and a great family property.
Beautiful Views With Lots of Extras
Debbie J., Watertown, WI US
This home had beautiful views and included access to the club where we could swim, exercise and play games. On property we each had our own bathrooms and the family time included video games in the lower level, pool table, a fire pit to gather around and a hot tub to soak in! We even enjoyed a boat ride at the marina!
Get away with grandkids
Patricia C., Saint Charles, IL United States
Very pleased with location,layout and cleanliness of property.
Enjoyed game room with my grandchildren and the hot tub was enjoyed by all!
My only suggestion would be to eliminate the old dirty patio furniture from the hot tub area!
Planning a return visit next summer
TOTALLY ENJOYED
Ron D., United States
We had a lovely stay at this home. It was spotless and met all of our needs. The grandkids loved the pool and game room. We enjoyed going to eat in Galena and the casinos in Dubuque. We would like to return to this home next summer and we have rented others in the territory. However, I do have to agree with a previous review regarding the king mattresses. It did feel like your head was lower than the rest of your body.

Relaxing. Time with family, priceless. Only 1 negative comment...please replace 2 king mattresses very uncomfortable, actually feels like your head is lower than your body, too soft. Otherwise lovely home!
Manager's Response
So glad you enjoyed your family time in Galena! Our Cogan home offers so many great amenities, hot tub, pool table, location to Owners Club. As most know the mattresses comfort is so subjective. One may think too hard and the next too soft. The mattresses were recently replaced but if there is a slat or something out of place it may cause discomfort. Just call us and we'll come over and check it out!

Happy but disappointed...
Lori R., Wheeling, IL US
We’ve stayed at this house before. The house is perfect for the family get away we want. What we found disappointing were the beds (very old, uncomfortable mattresses. The mattress in the Master isn’t even the right size for the bed frame) and the low grade WiFi. This is the 5th time we rented a home in the “territory” and by far it was the worst WiFi. Fix those things and the house would be perfect.
Manager's Response
We are so glad the Cogan home was perfect for your family getaway. We talked to this guest the first night about the wifi, we called JCWIFI and upped the package to the highest possible they provide, Cogan Dr is NOT known for cell reception or wifi. If you are coming to do some serious gaming or want to stream on 8 devices it will probably disappoint you too. They are running fiber into the area but we are a few years away from that. The mattresses are only a few years old but we will check them out. Mattresses are so subjective. The mattress in the master is absolutely the right size, the frame has a few inches of space at the end by design. We hope future guests want to be outside, enjoy the fire pit, the walking trails nearby, play pool or the arcade game in the home or sit on the hot tub on the back deck! If you have any questions at all about this home please don't hesitate to contact us!
Absolutely Beautiful Home
Kent T., Williams Bay, WI United States
We rented this home with 2 other couples to attend a wedding at Eagle Ridge. The home was exactly as described and could not have been more beautiful. Very clean, with a great hot tub and deck. There was a gas grill with an extra tank (nice touch)and we all enjoyed staying there. Fantastic livingroom and basement had pool table, card table (with poker chips)and a MS PACMAN game! One note: because it is somewhat remote in the "Territory" there was no cell service (we all use AT&T) and most of the time the WIFI was not working. Actually it did force everyone to not be on their phones all weekend which was a nice benefit. You could get cell service if you drove a short distance AND there was a Land Line in the kitchen in case of emergency. We would stay there again anytime.
Great Place to Stay!!!
Jennifer S., Baraboo, WI US
We were very happy with the home! It had everything we needed, it was very clean, great quiet location and plenty of room for our family girl’s weekend!

Loved the Location
Recent Guest, La Grange Park, IL United States
We had another wonderful stay in the Territory and for several years have enjoyed the properties in vacation homes of Galena. This was not our favorite house in terms of layout but it was adequate. It seemed a bit worn here and there. We did love the location and view with access to the trail behind the home.
Manager's Response
Our Cogan home is so much more than adequate! Check out our 175 (5) star reviews online! If layout is important we can describe the houses in detail to you and we have tons of pics - not sure what we can do to enhance the layout for the next guests. It's a super popular vacation home in an amazing location. Outdoor hot tub, pool table, 2 car garage, etc. The felt on the pool table is being replaced in March and the front walk will be done in the Spring. Like any home, improvements are always being done! Call us if you have any questions!

We spent three nights at the Cogan home for our family Christmas. This is a very nice home that had all the things we needed for our family. The kitchen was very nice and had all the things we needed for meals during our stay. My family loved the hot tub and the pool table. It was a great Christmas get-away for my family.

Wonderful home away from home
Recent Guest, Morton Grove, IL US
We loved this home & the location. The home was comfortable, cozy, immaculately clean & had a fully stocked kitchen. Easy to adjust the temp & everything worked. Plenty of room. The location was perfect. Far enough away to be quiet & dark but close to all the amenities & Downtown Galena. Wonderful trails only steps away. We’ve stayed in a lot of vacation homes & this was one of the finest. Very friendly owners too. We are planning to stay again next year.
Cogan Cozy Home
Nancy M., Arlington Heights, Illinois United States
Vacation Homes of Galena were great. We really appreciated all the information provided with the Hospitality app. The Cogan house was cozy, comfortable and clean. Layout of the home was great, plenty of room to get together and relax. Location was wonderful. The only comment is that we wished the kitchen was stocked with more items for cooking.
Rare Territory
charles e t., springfield, IL US
Our Association has been coming to Galena Territory for almost thirty years. I've had the pleasure to stay in the Lodge and many different rentals. 136 Cogan may be the best value I have enjoyed. Everything was in place for a very relaxing and pleasant stay. I would recommend to anyone. As a matter of fact, I talked it up so much, if it is still on the market I expect a friendly competition for who stays for next years conference.
Manager's Response
Thank you Charles! Our Cogan property truly has it all and is a great value. It just makes so much sense to enjoy comforts at home for the same price or even less than area hotels and resorts charge. We love that you love us!

Cell service outside of Galena is spotty but the house has a landline. We are already planning our next trip back!

You can swim in a gorgeous indoor pool with an awesome locker room, play pickle ball in the full sized gym, and exercise to your hearts content in the Galena Territorys Clubhouse. We had a great time and will go again. Thank you, Cogan House owners. It was another happy anniversary get-away.

The hot tub is spacious, there is a fire pit in the huge backyard, the beds were surprisingly comfortable, the kitchen was VERY well stocked and the back porch is a great place to watch the moon or just sit and enjoy your morning coffee. Highly, highly recommended. Also the house was very clean when we arrived with extra towels provided for the hot tub.

This was our 6th year visiting Galena and our 3rd time staying at 306 Cogan. This is probably our favorite house. It's the perfect size, it feels like home, and it's very clean. Working with Linda is always a delight. We've only stayed in a Great Escape house when we go up and we will never stay anywhere else. We've been there during every season and it is always wonderful. You can't beat the views and staying in a house gives you a sense of comfort you can't get from any hotel. The amenities are fantastic. It is impossible not to have a good time.

We really enjoyed our time with Vacation Homes of Galena. The home was ready to receive us. It was clean and adequately described and pictured. It worked perfectly for our family vacation. We enjoyed really enjoyed the hot tub. The bugs were a bit overkill so didn't spend as much time out in the yard as we thought we would. But we definitely took advantage of the Owner's Club every day! The grandkids loved the kiddy pool area and so did the adults as it is very child friendly. The staff at Vacation Homes and at the Owner's Club were always friendly and helpful. Thank you!!

Best Hot Tub!
Stuart G., Cedar Rapids, IA United States
We've stayed in at least half a dozen homes in the Galena Territory -- all with hot tubs -- and this home definitely had the best one! That was a definite plus, since our bedroom, the one downstairs, had a really firm (I'd call it "hard") mattress. Also, this same bedroom has two windows - one with and, oddly, one without room darkening blinds. We had some trouble with the TV remotes, finally discovering that the batteries were dead. The management company responded promptly to our call, dropping off extra batteries and light bulbs to replace those that were burned out. It's the only vacation home we've ever stayed in where we were allowed to park our car in the garage. Overall, it was a nice home for our weekend family retreat and we'd consider renting it again, primarily because of the hot tub.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. The house was everything we could have asked for times 10. It was absolutely perfect. We will definitely be staying in the Cogan home again. We would only like to recommend a porch light at night and possibly one on the other side of the hot tub. It was very dark outside. Other than that recommendation, there are no complaints whatsoever.
Beautiful house in peaceful, private setting
Recent Guest, Madison, WI United States
We stayed at the Cogan House Sept. 15 to 18. The house was beautiful and was just as described. A fully equipped kitchen, full complement of televisions, beautiful porch with peaceful view of countryside, amazing hot tub, comfortable beds and plenty of bathrooms for 6 women. The house has two full refridgerators, very helpful for big groups. You will also enjoy a full compliment of board games, cards, movies and pool table. The weather was warm enough to use the pool at the club house. Absolutely beautiful club house. Definitely take advantage of this amenity during your stay. The Cogan house is an excellent find for a weekend or long term stay.
(The 4 review under maintenance was due to a very loose faucet in the kitchen. It did not effect our stay, just wanted to let the owners know.)

Four of us from midstate Illinois were meeting friends from northern Wisconsin for a couple of nights and one of us found this house. We enjoyed our time here very much; the house has many amenities that enhanced our stay, and we especially loved the quiet location. We would definitely return to this area again if the circumstances arise. (I would give it all 5 stars except that they need luggage racks in each bedroom; there is not always room to place suitcases.)

Perfect family getaway
Recent Guest, United States
This home was just right for our family of 6. It was very clean and had everything we needed for a long weekend. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies. I had brought paper towels, dishwashing soap,etc. but all that was provided. There were lots of beach towels and games in the hall closet too. Wifi worked great. Hot tub was wonderful. We sat on the back deck each morning and enjoyed the sounds and beautiful scenery. The one complaint would be the mattress in the main floor master. It definitely needs flipped or replaced. Also the rug under the dining room table is quite worn. With that said, we would stay again as this house is close to the owners club and in a great location. I would highly recommend it. Booking was easy and customer service was great. Thank you for a very enjoyable few days!!

The house is absolutely beautiful, extremely functional, and honestly felt like home. I would highly recommend this house to anyone as 5 stars!!
Fun and comfortable house
Recent Guest, Glen Ellyn, IL United States
The process was easy. We loved the house and found it very comfortable for 2 families. Loved the proximity to Owners Club.
Excellent weekend getaway
Recent Guest, Schaumburg, IL United States
This was a beautiful spacious house in Galena territory I couldn't have asked for anything better. We had 8 people and a lot of space to spare! We used the pool and had we planned better would have rented a boat it was only two miles away. I would definitely stay here again
Great Place to Getaway and Enjoy Family Time!
Recent Guest, Glasford, IL United States
Wonderful home not far from the Owners Club for swimming and other activities which was included in the cost. Upon arrival, I was nervous because of previous bad experience, but house was just as pictured and very clean! Started our vacation off on a good note and didn't have any issues throughout our entire stay! Kitchen was well stocked for family meal time right down to extra garbage bags and paper towels. They have thought of everything to make it a great trip for their guests. Grandkids even found a game cabinet and wooden train set within 10 minutes of arriving. Nice touch! I would highly recommend and we are already talking of a return trip!

Women's weekend
Recent Guest, Dyersville , IA United States
Nice place. We had a bridal shower for lunch with family from the area and were questioned on the amount of people staying. Other than that our stay was great. The company was very professional and helpful with any questions. I would definitely recommend this experience to others for a nice little get away.
Very Nice!
Recent Guest, Coggon, IA United States
This rental is a nice getaway for a few couples or a girls getaway. It's fully furnished making it an easy trip to plan for. There are endless activities like sitting by the fireplace, enjoying view on the deck, sitting in the hot tub, or traveling to downtown. Highly recommended.
Cogan house mini vacation
Teri P., Runnells, IA United States
The house is lovely, clean, well priced and has plenty of space for three couples and more for staying in or as a home base for explorers like us.
Great House
Brandon S., fenton, MO United States
Every aspect of the house was great. I was impressed with the space and amenities. This is a great option for those planning ski trips to Chestnut Mountain.
Family Getaway
Krystal L., Waverly, IA United States
Enjoyed this home, wished there was a little big more living area on the main floor as that's where we cooked and hung out and kids wanted to be where we were. But house was very clean, made great use of hot tub as well.

Winter Wonderspot
Recent Guest, Palatine, IL United States
Our family spent four nights just after Christmas at this beautiful home. It's in a quiet area on a secluded hill with a great trail just behind the house. We love the home as it has a very comfortable feel to it. The bedrooms and bathrooms are nice sizes. The house was immaculate and well appointed. We loved the hot tub and open main floor plan. Great board game and movie collection too! Beds and couches were comfortable as well. Would definitely recommend and rent again! **also, just a note on previous review from someone...there were a good number of ladybugs in house (not asian beetles)...but not a nuisance at all!

Galena Luminary Stay
Derek H., Iowa City, Iowa United States
Had a great time at the house and in Galena. Enjoyed using the hot tub after a long morning run and playing pool with family. Accommodations were comfortable and we enjoyed being able to eat in. Only complaint would be that there was a fair number of asian beetles in the dining/kitchen area. And that it wasn't more 'wintery' out, but there isn't anything we can do about that :)
Great location.
Dan C., Palatine, IL United States
My wife and I wanted to get away for a couple days and did some searching for rental homes in the Galena area. Many of the homes I came across where very nice looking, but a bit pricey to warrant a two day stay. When I came across this property, it appeared as nice, or nicer than the others I looked at, but ore reasonably priced. We were not disappointed, it was nicer than anticipated. Very spacious, very clean. The area it is located in is very nice. Nice view from the back and very quiet. Would definitely stay there again.
Perfect for a weekend getaway
Liz M., Madison, WI United States
We had a great time with a weekend for friends. The hot tub was great along with the big rooms with big beds. We loved the view and would consider staying here again! It was VERY easy and simple to book this property.
Lovely home for Girls' Getaway in Galena Territory!
LORI G., SPRINGGROVE, IL United States
This home was perfect for three ladies looking for a relaxing vacation. The beds were very comfy and we each had our own bathroom. The fireplace was so welcoming and warm on those chilly October evenings. We spent every evening in the hot tub and the view was spectacular! Very peacefull and relaxing. We used the fitness center and basketball court at the Owner's Center. Short drive to Main St. in Galena and the casino in Dubuque, Iowa. Would definately rent this house again!

The Perfect Getaway
Kate S., Palatine, IL United States
Stayed here for three nights and it was one of the most relaxing vacations I've ever had. Beautiful and spacious home with equally beautiful surroundings. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect location. The beds were super comfy. In fact, we are mad at ourselves for not checking what brand of pillows were in the bedroom. They were the best pillows we've ever slept on. Drank coffee on the deck and soaked in some sun, built a fire, enjoyed the super spacious jacuzzi, played pool in the loft while sipping on our favorite drinks. We also cooked every meal at the house because we had no desire to leave. I am so happy that we stayed here and have already recommended Cogan House to several friends and family. Cannot wait to start planning our next stay.
Wonderful experience
Krista D., Crystal Lake, IL United States
This home was beautiful, so clean, beautifully maintained, cute decor, plenty of room, homey, peaceful, gorgeous lot.
Mini family vacation
Tom W., North Aurora, IL United States
There were 8 of us in total. 6 adults 1 infant and 1 toddler. The home worked out very well. The bedrooms were very quite foe nap time and the room darling shades worked out very well. The home was well stocked, clean and very comfortable. We would rent this home again in a New York minute.
Fabulous Getaway
Anne M., Chicago, IL United States
This was a wonderful vacation visit for my family. Big, open space with lots of room for each person to feel comfy. Would love to go back and stay even longer. We actually were able to see deer as we drank coffee from the deck. Memorable forever.

Girls Getaway
Debbie N., Mokena, IL United States
Your home was so spacious and comfortable. My girlfriends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We appreciated the details of Kleenex in every bed room and bath - We had one of the girls with some bad allergies and it came in very handy. We would definitely rent this property again in the future! Thanks for a wonderful time!
Great views and nice quiet location and so close to the club house . Love the garage access worked great for us.
