Great family Getaway
Our family of 12 enjoyed our stay. No complaints. Only recommendation is if planning to cook, bring spatulas and extra roll or two of paper towels if you have a large group. Otherwise everything else was fine.

Perfect stay for our family!
My family of 7 adults and 4 kids loved our 4 day stay! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone to have their own; big plus! The gaming device downstairs was a hit with the kiddos. Plenty of outdoor space around the house as well. The kids loved riding their scooters on the driveway. Nice quick drive to the owners club where we all enjoyed the pool and workout facility. Only downfall was the refrigerator space. Would have loved an additional one downstairs for overflow food and drinks.

Fantastic home for a family of 10!
Very clean and spacious. The house was perfect for our family giving us enough space to spread out and have some privacy while having great places to gather. Loved relaxing in the hot tub and by the fire pit…so many stars in the dark sky. We even saw a hot air balloon go by.

Our weekend getaway
This place was absolutely gorgeous. Our house was perfect for our situation. Every bedroom had its own bathroom which was great for our group. Great location and view of the 16th hole of the south course. We loved the deck and hot tub and made use of the grill. The weather didn't allow us to use the fire pit in the back but definitely would have otherwise.

Fantastic Place for a Senior Cousins Reunion!
We had 9 active seniors 60 to 71 stay at the house for 5 days and we thought it was amazing! We enjoyed every bit of the property, as well as the Eagle Ridge Resort Marina (Pontoon Boat and Pickle Ball) and Pickle Ball courts at the Resort Lodge The beds were comfy (although the master mattress was showing signs of denting) Plenty of dishes, cookware and silverware...dishwasher was great! Plenty of hot water for showers and baths. Drove into Galena a number of times and the drive was only about 15 minutes. Each day we walked a mile around Longwood Drive and there were trails all around. We loved how private the house was within the neighborhood...and the stars at night were magnificent!

Perfect layout for 3 families
The layout was perfect for 3 families with 4 children ages 2-6. There was enough seating for the 10 of us on the deck. The children enjoyed the pool and big yard. S'mores was a hit with the firewood that was supplied. There was plenty of parking for our 3 vehicles. The exterior was in the stage of remodeling and the outside landscape needed some TLC, but this was no hinderance to the children playing outside. Also, be aware that there is an extra cleaning fee if you stay 5 nights or longer. Overall, the house worked great for us.

Large house- great location
The property was perfect for our large group. It’s in a great location too. It’s convenient to go into town and feels like you have lots of privacy at the house. There are golf courses everywhere and we took advantage of going to the owner’s club and swimming, playing basketball, and using the fitness center. Everyone had their own bathroom and there are places to eat on the deck and inside. The hot tub was also an appreciated perk. Overall, it was a great experience.

Space to gather and separate
We had 8 adults and 3 children ages 2,5, & 7. There was plenty of space for all to gather and to separate when desired. There is a lot of out door space for running around and we didn't need to be concerned about disturbing neighbors. The exterior needed some care, but it looked like they were starting on that project. The whole family had fun at the Owner's club swimming pool.

Family Gathering
The house was large enough to adequately accommodate our family of 10. We enjoyed the indoor and outdoor spaces, along with the hot tub and fire pit. Our family also enjoyed the Owner's Club, using the fitness center, basketball courts and the pool. Although the kitchen space was a little small (counter space) to manage all the food for meals and snacks, we made it work. Basement bedrooms were cold with the AC running, so we turned it off and used extra blankets, as the weather was so lovely daytime and cooled off at night.

Skiing weekend getaway
This home worked ok for our annual skiing trip since we had five couples and five bedrooms with separated bathrooms. We were pleased with the cleanliness of the home and the amount of linens/towels provided. Mattresses and pillows were of good quality. Except downstairs Queen size Serta sofa sleeper which mattress was terribly misshapen and couldn't be used. House has very spacious bedrooms, however the main living room doesn't have enough space for the larger group congregation (only 6 people can fit freely on 2 couches). Fireplace worked nicely. Kitchen had lots of cooking utensils, however it lacked some important dishes (had only only 7 coffee mugs and 10 forks which weren't sufficient for the 12 of us). Dining room included only 9 chairs. There was some wear and tear evident in some places, especially the dining room area. . Hot tub was clean, however it wasn't properly filled up prior to our arrival-water lever was way below jets and water was spraying all over us. There was no connecting water hose to fill up the tub.

Weekend getaway
We had such a great time this last weekend! I treated my kids for an adults only weekend. The property was so spacious and had everything right there. We were snowed in for the weekend, so that only added to the ambiance! We had the fireplace going much of the time and played games much of the weekend. The hot tub was especially a hit!!
