Great property
The property was wonderful. Honestly the photos don’t do it justice. The amenities were just as described. You could stay and never leave if you wanted. We went out a few times and stayed in a few times and never needed or lacked anything. The drive to town was super quick and easy, even in the dark of night. Would definitely stay here again

My dream cabin
For a winter time retreat, this was perfect! Fireplaces, hot tub, lots of space! It was so quiet at night we had difficulty falling to sleep, but we got use to it. You could hear coyotes at night, and the nighttime stars were incredible. It was just a short run to Galena and all the great restaurants and shopping. LOVED our

Cottage on the Lake
The property and surrounding area is beautiful and well maintained. The kitchen is supplied with all the is needed. The view is spectacular and the hot tub is wonderful. Great view from the mbr and a comfy king bed. We enjoyed the fireplace on a chilly November evening. We will definitely rebook on a future trip to Galena.

Perfect setting for 25th Anniversary Getaway
What a view! My husband and I will definitely be back and are now considering Galena Lake Territory as a retirement destination. This home is ideal for couples looking to disconnect to reconnect ❤️
As a veteran guest of vacation rentals across the nation (for travel baseball tournaments, multi-generational family reunions, etc) I can verify the check-in and check-out process was super easy. The home is well appointed and had everything you need.
Suggestion: put a journal on the desk for those who wish to share/read where people come from and what they enjoyed doing while there.

The "cottage" is a beautiful log cabin with a stunning view of lake galena. Very private, tranquil and with many amenities like close to tennis, golf, and swimming pools. The pictures don't do it justice. The owner is very nice and goes out of his way to make sure your stay is perfect. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous Cabin and Views
I came to the Galena Territory to view a meteor shower. This cabin was the perfect stay. The hot tub was so relaxing, and I was even able to see a few meteors from there alone. And the deck has the prettiest view of the trees and Lake Galena. The cabin itself is spacious and charming. The pictures do not do it justice. I would definitely come again!

Lovely log lake house
We had a relaxing stay at this beautiful log home located in the Galena Territory / Eagle Ridge resort. The home is beautifully furnished with nice amenities on a cul de sac overlooking Galena Lake. We enjoyed spending time on the covered deck overlooking the lake. Access to owner's club amenities - pool, marina with boat rental, etc. is a nice perk and very close to the location. It's a short, easy drive into town via Route 20 to see the historic sites and enjoy shops and restaurants. Would love to visit in the Fall to see all the changing colors around the lake.

Perfect Place for Vacation
Amazing, just amazing. While familiar with the area, we did not realize that there was the perfect home for a planned vacation that provided an amazing deck with a view (we spent a lot of time here), comfort and space in the master suite. Space throughout the house and the multiple level of decks. We were amazed at the privacy of the location of the house. A true retreat. This will be the only place we stay for our annual trip to Galena going forward.

Romantic getaway
The property was absolutely beautiful and the location was exceptionally private. My husband and I stayed four nights, mainly as an opportunity to relax, reset and enjoy each other, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. This was the PERFECT setting as it is nestled in a serene landscape of trees, water and nature. We thoroughly enjoyed the cozy architecture of the log cabin, and picturesque view of Lake Galena on the large covered deck (that has a hot tub!). The location was close enough to Galena to make popping in to town for dinner or drinks very easy. Another plus was the full service spa just a few minutes away. The property was very clean, and we appreciated there wasn’t a long list of checkout duties. We didn’t have any issues while staying there so I can’t comment to owner responsiveness, but pre check in communication was timely and thorough. We recommend this property to anyone looking to get away with their significant other. We would rebook in a heartbeat.
