High Ridge Hideaway

This house was perfect for 4 ladies for our girls getaway.
The house was comfortable and it was nice that every bedroom
Had its own bathroom.
The hot tub was a great addition and we used it both nights.

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! We would highly recommend this vacation home and would definitely stay again!

Great property in a great location. 10 minutes or less from the golf courses. Wonderful screen in porch and awesome living room area to spend time with family! Would absolutely rent this location again!

there is so much to here, even if we never left the house we would not have found time in our three night to enjoy everything.

Clean and very cozy. Reservation was quick and painless. Property owner kept us well informed.

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.

The house was updated. Loved the decor. Loved having throw blankets everywhere

Very satisfied with our stay. Kitchen was fully stocked with all utensils needed to prepare meals. House was very clean, hot tub was clean and also hot. Even fire wood split and prepared for the outdoor fire pit.

Our group of five,from four different states, arrived in Galena to find a beautifully appointed home that exceeded all our expectations! We're eager to repeat our experience soon!

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.

Very nice house, clean and great amenities. The house condition was great and very clean. We enjoyed the table top game, foosball table, hot tub and fire pit, in addition to everything the territory and downtown area has to offer. Thank you!

This home is located about 10-15 minutes outside Galena, but it is a very easy drive. Home is very private, spacious, and clean. Lots of amenities: hot tub, games, full kitchen, screened in porch, fireplace, and deck. All the space and comfort you want. Great for a couple, family, or a couple of families.
Access to all the amenities of the Galena Territory as well and close to the golf courses.

We enjoyed our stay at this house, it was perfect! Very clean with plenty of space in a quiet location! We appreciated that there was plenty of stemware to enjoy our Galena wine purchases!

We rented this house for a girlfriend getaway and weren’t disappointed! The house was very clean and had enough beds to accommodate our group. We chose to do our own cooking and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. I highly recommend this rental!

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. The house was very clean and organized. Our kids loved the game room and the hot tub. We couldn't have asked for a better location.

The house was awesome. Everything was clean and it was awesome that the driveway was plowed after a big snow storm that came through. The only complaint we had was the hot tub. It felt like 3 of us had a mild chemical burn from all of the chlorine. We didn’t use it after that and it took the rest of the weekend to get the chlorine smell off off us even after a few showers.

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.

It was very clean, nicely furnished and decorated, and we enjoyed it very much.

Beautiful clean home! Enjoyed our stay & had a great day at the pool - so nice! The only drawback is the distance to a grocery store - we had a hard time finding where to go.....made for a memorable drive over the hills during a rain storm.

House was well equipped for both cooking and dining. In a very hot week we never used the hot tub, but we’re pleased with gas grill which kept meat cooking outside. Adequate pool passes, and a simple and good way to secure the house when we were out was helpful. Immaculately clean and ready when we arrived.

Terrific place! Very clean. Plenty of room yet cozy. Highly recommend this rental

We stayed here over winter break to ski Mt Chestnut and get away from the city. We all had a great time staying here! The kids played video games and foosball, and we all loved the hot tub and fireplace. It was warm, comfortable and fun!

Everything was as described. Very comfortable living room furniture & very well equipped kitchen. We were 2 families & had plenty of room. Beautiful fireplace and scenic woods in backyard.

Wonderful place to stay for a group. House had every possible amenity to make it comfortable and hassle free.

Great place for a family reunion!
All the amenities of the Galena Territory in less than a 5 minute drive and only 15 minutes from downtown Galena.
Spacious rooms and dining area. Large screen TV and game room for all ages.
Outdoor grill and hot tub are great features.
A good time was had by all!

Our family of six loved our stay here! It was super clean, had a great layout, and would defiantly stay her again!

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.

It was a good stay with friends for the weekend. The only reason I gave a 4 star for the properties general condition was because the heat was switched off for the first 4-5 hours of our stay. The maintenance guy came in about an hour and fixed it.

Wonderful location and such a cool house! Great views, super clean interior and plenty of space for lounging. Fireplace and hot tub were our highlights! Will definitely be back!

I was overly impressed with the beauty and scenic view out the stunning 4 sliding glass doors & windows. The fire place was perfect after our nightly hot tub and relaxation. 10 minutes to downtown shopping.

We really enjoyed our ladies weekend. The house looked just like the pictures. There was plenty of room for all of us.

This home was perfect for our weekend getaway. Very spacious and clean. We definitely recommend this home and will stay here again!

Wonderful vacation with our friends. I highly recommend this place. Very clean and comfortable.

Our family of four enjoyed a week at High Ridge Run. Loved the screened in porch and the hot tub. Most of us were working from the house and the wifi kept up with all of us without a problem. Coming from Naperville, IL it was great to have a little distance from our neighbors!

You would enjoy this place. We had six people staying there. Fit perfect.

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.

My friends and I had a great girls trip here! Relaxed by the fire place, the beds were so comfortable and the place was spotless.

Nice home, great location.

Great home! Kitchen was stacked! Beds were
Super comfy! Firewood was provided for the fire! 20 minutes to downtown 5 mins to owners club which included pool, game room basketball court. Kids had a ball!

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.

Absolutely amazing! Beautiful home and great location we had a girls get together for my daughters up coming wedding. It was every comfort of home. We brought things that we werent expecting to be there and they had it all. We will definitely be back!! Thank u for opening your home.

Really had a nice stay. House is clean,
Well stocked, plenty of room, lots of bathrooms. The hot tub and the grill were both really nice. The only issue is the kitchen garbage can needs to be replaced, it’s a pain

We enjoyed our stay in Galena. Perfect home for families. Beautiful space and loved the screened in deck and great room fireplace. A little problem with LL shower, but was resolved quickly. The fleas in Galena were horrible so couldn't do much outdoors.

It was a lovely house! Close to town, nice hot tub , and very clean and cozy!! We will be back!

it was fabulous everything was great we brought our sons friends they all spoke very highly to there parents about the home would stay again

What a great home to have our girls weekend in. We loved the outdoor Jacuzzi! We loved the accommodations in general. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms - we loved this. The fireplace was great for the cold, windy, rainy days/nights that we had in Galena. We LOVED the town of Galena. We loved the history of your town as well! We would like to come back for sure.

The property was in tiptop shape and furnished very nicely. This house was perfect for our group and the management people were terrific to work with. Would definitely stay here again.

Girls 50th Birthday weekend - this was a secluded home but a great setting for just hanging out. Short distance to amazing views and downtown.

Had a great time as home was big enough for entire family with 2 bedrooms in basement with their own tv area.
There is so much to do in this area from shopping, tours, historic homes, or even head into Iowa and see the aquarium or awesome botanical garden.

My friends and I had a very relaxing time and really enjoyed our stay!!

The home we stayed at was perfect for our group of six adults. Three bedrooms and three baths and very spacious. It was fully equipped with everything we needed. House was very clean. Our only complaint was the dampness in the basement, which is where two of the bedrooms were. I would suggest a dehumidifier. 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. VRBO was very easy to work with and the property manager was very helpful.

We had a wonderful family time away in the Galena territories. We stayed at 1 High Ridge Run. The home was very cozy and perfect for my husband and I plus 3 teens. We especially loved soaking in the hot tub. We loved tennis courts and pool at the Owners club house. We also enjoyed several walks along the trails. It was very enjoyable all th way around. We highly recommend this property.

As soon as you walked in you felt right at home. What I liked is everyone had their own bathroom. It has everything you could want from cockpots, wine glasses right down to koozies. The house was very clean, beds were very comfortable. I know we are going to stay there again. Thank you so much
