Golfside Haven

Warm and cozy house, clean, comfortable rooms. We went to Dubuque to gamble and downtown Galena the shop. When gathering in the living room, it would have been nice to have more seating.

The house was very nice and met our needs. We have 4 couples that travel together. It is great when each couple has their own bedroom and bathroom. It's in a beautiful area. We did a lot site seeing around the Galena area.

We rented this home for our annual golf outing, location and accommodations were a perfect fit. Rooms were comfortable, plenty of bathrooms, and the hot tub helped relax aching bodies.

Excellent space for our extended family. Lots of room to spread out and yet be comfortable together.
Loved the hot tub, though the jets were out on one seat. We really enjoyed the screened porch area, also. The family enjoyed relaxing walks in the areas around the home.
A couple recommendations for the master bath would be a bath mat or non slip stripping in the shower and there were some ants on the bath countertop. This is the first Territory home (out of 4 I’ve stayed in) that didn’t have sugar or sweeteners available. Other than that, it was nicely stocked.

The house is nice, centrally located and perfect for 4 to 8 people. We enjoyed our stay. We did have some issues: The coffee doesn't work, the knives are very dull, the TV remotes needed batteries and there were none and the shower in the master suite has a very slippery floor.

Beautiful place in the woods. Peaceful yet close to all the Galena Territory and Galena attractions. Perfect getaway!

Thus is a great place to stay. Plenty of room. Woodys view and nature all around. My family of 8 was pleased.

We really enjoyed our experience with renting this property. The house was perfect for a mom’s weekend getaway. Home was clean and cozy. We loved sipping coffee each morning and watching wild turkeys running around the surrounding woods. And we definitely enjoyed winding down in the hot tub each evening. We would definitely return!

Perfect week-end getaway to spend time with extended family.

Very much clean, organized and safe. Location is very amazing. We all enjoyed.

Great place for our two families to meet up for a fun spring break reunion!

We loved our stay at this home. We celebrate my husband's birthday every year in Galena. This home was perfect for our family. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped to prepare family meals. The house was clean and there was plenty of firewood. We enjoyed the hot tub on the private back deck.this was a wonderful family vacation.

Excellent. Went out of their way to help us locate lost property we left behind!

Sisters trip. Was a great place to stay. Was very relaxing. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom. Very nice!

We had a wonderful girls weekend in this lovely home. The house was better than the photos. We enjoyed the screen porch and large kitchen table. The only suggestion we have would be to add more lamps or brighter light bulbs. The rooms were dark once the sun went down. We rated this house a 5 and it was very clean.

Great home and great location. Very well appointed. Will likely book again in the future.

This was the second time we stayed in the house. It is perfect for our sibling and spouse weekend.We all have our own bedroom and bath. We love that it is close to the entrance to the Territory. Probably the only downfall is the parking for three vehicles. There is no actual driveway and the parking area is small and needs work.

Lovely place, well maintained. All you need is a good company and a lot of wine!

The house was perfect! Seven ladies just getting away for a weekend of shopping. The house was clean and ready for our visit. Everything was needed was there including a coffee grinder. The spa was clean and perfect to sit in on a cool November night. Plenty of room, and a nice fireplace. Need to make sure there is newspaper and kindling or a fire starter to get the fire place started for others in the future.

The house was very clean and well maintained. It was spacious and was perfect for our weekend getaway.

Very confortable home with great sleeping arrangements. The house was very clean and well stocked for cooking. Had only one set of towels per bedroom, but did have washer and dryer. Loved the location. Easy to find and close to everything. Living area was not huge but had extra room downstairs. Only problem was the hot tub was not working. They tried for get it fixed but couldn't get someone out before our four days were up.

Very nice, clean, and organized house! Lots of room so you don’t feel clustered. If you want to getaway with your friends or loved ones this is a good place to rent.

Nice place to stay just outside of Galena.

The house was accurately described and great for a vacation getaway. Our party had plenty of room to spread out. The kitchen had everything that we needed, the hot tub was a treat, and the beds were comfortable. We loved how the property backed up to beautiful woods. It felt secluded yet close to what we needed. We enjoyed the neighborhood amenities - trails, pool, fitness center, country store, waterfall and lake. All were lovely!

House was large and clean; we shopped, ate out and used the hot tub. Also hiked the nearby golf course

The house was perfect for us. We loved that it was close to the entrance of The Territory. Would love to use it again.

The house was very comfortable. Two members of our family developed folliculitis from the Hot Tub.

We would like to come back. Watched deer 4 hours, once fire got going it was awesome, guys snow solved deck for safety below by hot tub, well equipped, few games, books,kitchen,.. notes everywhere helpful. We didn't want to return home. We all discussed trying a different home, but we enjoyed Haven so much we will be back .can not wait to use porch.

Clean, comfortable home. Nicely designed to allow space for hanging out and for privacy. Beautiful yard views.

We were very happy with the rental. We had a couple of issues we text about and had a response back within minutes. We need a shower curtain replaced due to mildew on it. It was replaced that next day when we were out for the day.

Cozy, comfortable and relaxing. All the amenities needed and more.

I rented this house for a sister's weekend and was amazed at how much room there was in the house. We all had our own bedroom and bathroom which worked out great. It was so nice to relax in the hot tub after a day of shopping in Galena. Although we mostly ate out, (we cooked our breakfast there) the kitchen was well equipped with everything you need. There was plenty of room to hang out and watch tv, too. We all had a wonderful time at the house. If I was to suggest anything it would be that you get a new set of pans for the kitchen and update the comforters on the beds which aren't deal breakers for me but might be for other guests.

The home is beautiful with all the amenities available. It is conveniently located from Galena with an easy driving distance. The access to the community clubhouse, pool, and amenities was such a nice “perk” to renting this property. The property is located in a very peaceful and tranquil location. I would definitely see if this property was available the next time visiting Galena.

We spent the weekend celebrating a birthday with a group of 8 friends. This was the perfect rental home with enough indoor and outdoor space for everyone. It was close to activities in the Galena area and we loved the hot tub for the evenings!

Overall, this was a wonderful house in a wonderful location This is a large and functional house suitable for a large family or two smaller ones. The
layout of two bedrooms up and two down is terrific. Everything you need is included--even towels for the hot tub. Some of the furniture could be updated a bit, but this is a huge, clean hose in a wooded setting with lots of rooms and lots of baths.
I cannot say enough about the GTA owners club. It is a lovely facility for kids and adults alike, and it is amazing that the club is included in the rental fee.
Galena was a pleasant surprise. It is a tiny adorable little town with a few excellent dining options.
We had a minor issue and the management company was terrific, They handled it immediately and communicated very well with us. Check-in and check-out were seamless. Thanks Linda!!!

This house was perfect for our sisters vacation! We loved that all four bedrooms had connecting bathrooms. All of the beds were extremely comfortable. The house and hot tub were very clean. We like to cook and found the kitchen to be well-equipped. We enjoyed the screened-in porch for early morning coffee while listening to the birds sing. The house is easy to get to, and convenient to Galena, where we wanted to spend some time. We had no issues at all during our stay. It's a great rental home!

Very nice, love Galena

Overall the house was great! The one thing I would say is the cleanliness of kitchen (we found some dirty dishes) and outside by the hot tub things weren’t in order. But other than that, it was good.

Had a great time. Space was clean. Internet service was great for home schooling and it was nice for the kids to have netflix on the tv. We sledded for free at the local resort. I’d recommend stopping at the local grocery store before you arrive. Lots of space for our family of four. And if it wasn’t for covid my sisters family of four also would have fit in nicely.

It was a great time. The home fit our needs perfectly. We were provided all that we needed.

Very nice accommodations, location. Clean and roomy. Nice for every bedroom to have it's own bath. Plenty of indoor and outdoor space for socializing, dining, ect. We were warned of an issue that could not be resolved be before we checked in, and we accommodated appropriately. Management company was responsive and pleasant. Already planning to return. Big thumbs up!

House was perfect for our stay. Lots of room, comfortable beds, easy access to Galena. Girls used hot tub after shopping. Hope to come back.

This house was perfect for our ladies golf trip this year. It was very clean & plenty of dishes to accommodate all 8 guests. We’ve been taking golf trips for about 13 years. This is the first house that had enough bathrooms to make it comfortable for everyone. The enclosed deck was perfect for playing cards in the evening. In fact we liked it so much, we voted to come back next year. Only suggestion is to add dehumidifier in basement. Everything was a little damp; including bedding & furniture. Also the TV wasn’t hooked up to be able to watch it. Luckily someone in our group was able to fix it. The email with instructions how to log on WIFI needs to be updated. Incorrect user & password was provided. Had to call manager to get info. Still didn’t work so rebooted router. Finally worked. This was one of the best homes we’ve stayed since starting our golf trips. Loved it!?

My husband and I have birthdays one day apart, and we wanted a quiet relaxing weekend getaway to enjoy nature and some quiet relaxation. The house location is perfect for proximity to so many state parks and nature trails, close to downtown Galena for picking up our favorite burgers from Durty Gurt's, and we really enjoyed sitting on the back deck enjoying the breeze and trees! Just what two city dwellers needed for a nice weekend break.

Very nice and relaxing and quiet!

The house was perfect for our group. 4 couples who enjoy traveling together. The space was great. The property was clean and offered enough space for privacy as well as community time. Would return to this property.

The rental was great! Everything was clean and well-maintained. The rental process was smooth and the cost was very reasonable. We enjoyed having a full kitchen and hot tub!

The location to this house is extremely convenient if you want to get back on Route 20 and get to and from downtown Galena quickly. It is right off the main road to the Galena territory entrance. Overall this house is very nice. We had a couple very minor things we saw that needed attention, but nothing that really affected our stay, mostly appearance related. I really like the convenience of the online check in, check out service this rental company uses. Will definitely use them again!

Excellent home for a family reunion. October a good time for Northwest Illinois in general and Galena in particular

The home was very clean. Great that each bedroom had a washroom. Great location. The only thing I can think of that could be upgraded is the cable system. Would have been nice to have had cable in th the family room. Also HD(about $10/mo) would have been real nice. Otherwise we loved staying there and would come back.

Great house for eight guests. Plenty of room throughout the house. We used the hot tub and gas grill. Worked great! We'll be back.

This vacation was a girl's getaway trip to visit Galena. We found the property description very accurate and the home clean and inviting. It was very close to Galena where we spent the majority of our time. We enjoyed the hot tub once we figured out how to get the cover off! We would definitely recommend this property to a friend or relative.

Weekend was very nice at this home. Beds were comfortable, kitchen was well-stocked, hot tub was great. The decor in this house is old and needs updating. It could use a deep clean too. The surfaces were clean but things like the screens, windows, vents, etc. needed cleaning. I do know how hard it is to keep this sort of stuff clean when you are tucked in the woods. Overall that sort of stuff didn't effect our stay, but just saying it needs attention.

This is a beautifully maintained home which meets or exceeds description on VRBO. We were very satisfied and would definitely return. The first night we had trouble with the temperature on the hot tub. We called and someone answered the phone and was able to talk us through the re-set. Everything was clean and well maintained. As a senior citizen I am aware of fall hazards so picked up the throw rugs and put them aside when we arrived. Really - I see no need for them. The space felt as if we were in the middle of a forest even though we were close to everything we needed. We saw deer and heard the "love songs" of cicadas and voices of various other creatures. The stars were beautiful off the back deck. I left my suitcase and received a call from housekeeping right away which eased my mind tremendously. Thanks for a wonderful time - I just wish we ould have stayed longer.

Everything was exactly as described. The home was clean and a perfect size for all to have space. We went with two other couples. We loved the privacy with the woods surrounding us. I would have two suggestions though. Every room should have a TV. If you had a room with king bed, there was no TV except in the family rooms. Each couple has their interests in TV and before bed or in morning it is nice to be able to tune in without disturbing each other. The cushions on the porch are a little worn. If these could be replaced with something with a little more padding it would be perfect. Overall I would highly recommend this home. Directions and accommodations were great.

This vacation rental was absolutely perfect for our girls weekend away. It slept 8 very comfortably. Ever bedroom has a corresponding bathroom which was super convenient. The location is beautiful and secluded. Definitely would recommend this property!

We had 4 couples together and the home had more than enough room. About 10 minutes out of town, but a right turn out of the complex is all it takes to get there. Nicely wooded and fairly private, even though it is on a large complex with a lot of amenities.

I will recommend this property to friends and family.

Great getaway Home was clean comfortable wonderful amenities great location

We had a fantastic time at Haven Lane. We were celebrating a birthday as well as doing R&R. Did some great shopping, fantastic meal at Fried Green Tomatoes and relaxed in the hot tub with a side of "wine". Loved everything about 10 Haven Lane !!!!

Great

The home was exactly as described. It fit our needs for a company party we were having. Highly recommend.

Nice comfortable clean home with space for everyone.

great space for members of our family

House was exactly as described and pictured. Very clean and easy to get to. It was just a short ride to downtown Galena, but was in a quiet setting. The hot tub was also nice after a day out.

As 1st time renter, we were absolutely delighted with the house and location. There were 5 of us (mature gals) and all were pleased. We did the Galena Trolley Ride and touristy things. We were so satisfied with food and service at Fried Green Tomato, Log Cabin and Gurty's Hamburger Bar. We enjoyed our 4 days and definitely will return!

Great location and comfortable home. Owner's Club outstanding!!

Quick, professional, easy.

Property looks just like the photos. Interior was very neat and clean. It rained the morning we arrived, so the decks were full of leaves, easy sweep though. Only thing not mentioned is that one of the private baths has another door to the kitchen, so it is not actually private. Very nice and private location. The only real negative was the hot tub was in the mid 80 degrees when we arrived, but heated up after a few hours. I highly recommend this property. We're some ants in kitchen, but in a wooded setting, this is to be expected.

Manager's Response

We had a wonderful time and loved the house. Perfect for a multi family/girls weekend/couples weekend getaway. Only thing I would complain about, the ants in the kitchen. We could not keep anything in the counter due to the ants. I understand having some bugs with the house being in a very wooded area but you may need to get the house sprayed.

Beds and bedding could use an update.

Just did a 3 day get away with my wife. It's was our first time to the Galena area. Will definitely use this house again! Hot tube is a nice amenity.

The place was ok. Some of the beds need replace. Had to sleep on the couch because one of them was so uncomfortable.

The house was great for our two families - plenty of room, clean, well kept. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. Our only frustration was that the wifi wasn't working. The manager tried to help, but the issue could not be resolved during our stay. It made working remotely difficult, but we enjoyed our stay overall.

Booking my vacation was quick and easy. I was able to call the day of my vacation and request early check in which was accommodated! The rental was clean, spacious and each bedroom (4) had its own bathroom attatched which made getting ready and sleeping arrangements a piece of cake. The kitchen was great with a large dining table that sat all 8 of us. The appliances were updated and included needed cooking utensils. The hot tub was great! It is very large and easy to open. There were a few pieces of the hot tub that seemed to have been broken by other guests but did not affect the functionality. It was however set at only 80 degrees so it was a little cold the first night while it was snowing but got up to 102 the next day. Overall my family really enjoyed our stay and would rent again!
