This house was perfect for our weekend getaway in Galena! It was clean, the hosts were quick to respond, organized, and did everything they could to make sure the stay went smoothly!
I booked this for my family (8 adults and one baby) for a little family vacation. We all had such a great time and the home is beautiful! If we ever had an issue or question, Lia was very quick to reply and made sure that everything was perfect for us. We would love to stay at one of her rentals again :).
We had 9 adults staying at this home for a niece's wedding in Apple River. It was perfect for our needs! The beds are comfortable, everything is as pictured, the host was responsive to texts, and the home is well located within Eagle Ridge. I highly recommend for a large group.
This home was wonderful and had everything necessary to provide the family with a peaceful getaway. Nestled in a wooded, quiet and private culdesac under the starry sky, yet close enough to the territory entrance to provide convenience. Lia was incredibly attentive, friendly and accommodating. The kitchen was also very well-equipped with everything.
We had 3 generations staying in this spacious 3 level house. Each level having bedrooms with bathrooms was perfect for us. The downstairs level with the hot tub, 2 game rooms, TV room and bedroom
The owner was very communicative before our trip and supplied us with lots of information. She was also available for questions during our stay. The house was amazing and offered tons of space for our family of 8 with lots of amenities. Everything was in good working condition, clean, and well stocked. We had a fabulous time!
A group of college friends, we get together each year to remember one we lost too soon. This house was indeed secluded and still close to activities we wanted to do. It was clean, comfortable like home, and so relaxing. We all wanted to stay longer! Thank you for a lovely place to celebrate our friendship!
Booked a weekend stay for family members to gather at one location with pets to celebrate Thanksgiving. The host was gracious in preparing the home for our Thanksgiving stay with Thanksgiving decorations and dishes. The home was beautiful, clean and gave a warm cozy welcome. We enjoyed playing pool, ping-pong, darts, and the hot tub. Plenty of room for all. Enjoyed sitting down at the fire pit looking up at the stars. This was truly a great holiday experience at a beautiful home. Located to Galena shops and the Apple River for a great nature hike or fishing.
We had a wonderful stay at Owl’s Stay. The leaves were changing and we felt like we were at our own autumn hideaway. The house had all the space and amenities we needed. The fire pit is not as far from the house as it appears in the photos and was a great place to just hang out. All the couches were super cozy and the table big enough for dinners and games! We had five adult couples and spent most of our time at the house but it was a short drive to Apple picking and wine tasting as well. Lastly, the owner is very responsive and available. She will handle any issues so no worries! Book & Enjoy!
10/10 experience! We could not have asked for a more comfortable home with picturesque features and incredible amenities. The house is an amazing fit for a large group, everybody slept comfortably. Located close to downtown Galena and Chestnut Mountain Resort, we found that the central location was a key factor in facilitating a convenient experience for us. Our host was incredibly thorough in providing information before we arrived, and expeditious in her responses to any questions we had during our stay. The hot tub, pool table, and fireplace provided endless entertainment and exceeded the expectations that we had for the property. A truly wonderful birthday experience and we cannot wait to come back!
We love the Galena Territory, and we loved this home! This home was exactly as described. The rooms are spacious and very clean (and we're very picky when it comes to what people consider clean). The furnishings and decor in the home are beautiful. So many items we kept saying to ourselves that I'd love in my own home. Such nice touches. The kitchen is perfectly stocked with everything you could possibly need to make meals at home and all the little extras that you don't find in most rentals these days (extra bath, bedding, and laundry supplies) were very much appreciated. Basement had plenty of entertainment to keep everyone busy with the rain, as well as heading to the Owner's Club to use the pool. Lia was extremely timely with any questions and accommodations to our schedule. Wish we lived closer but would absolutely choose to stay in Lia's home again. Mother Nature didn't exactly cooperate for our outdoor plans in downtown Galena. All the more reason why we were so grateful that our time stuck inside could be spent in a great home and in the beautiful Galena Territory.
We had such a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly kind, responsive, and helpful, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free from the moment we booked. The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared. Everything we needed was there, and we truly felt welcomed. There were no issues at all, just an easy and enjoyable stay. We would happily stay here again and would absolutely choose any property this host manages. Highly recommend!
What memories! We had to make changes to our visit because of weather and the host was so amenable and truly made everything work for us.The size of the home enabled all children and adults to relax and enjoy.
Wonderful experience from booking through checkout. The property owner is very organized and provided comprehensive info that made for a stress-free experience. The home was clean, well-appointed and in a great location near the entrance to Eagle Ridge and close to downtown Galena. We had a great time and would definitely stay again! Many thanks Lia!
house was perfect. we had 8 people there was so much room we didn’t even use one of the bedrooms. great tv room and open kitchen dining and family room. hot tub was and fire pit were a plus. great location. felt like we were in woods but close to general and entrance! everything was clean and amenities were plentiful. host was easy to contact and extremely nice!!
If you love the woods, you’ll love Owl’s Nest. It’s built into a hillside, so looking out the wall of windows - and especially from the screened in porch - you feel like you’re in a treehouse. The screened in porch was our group’s favorite spot, with a table seating 8 and protection from bugs, we spent entire days (and nights!) out there. And if you want to walk in the woods, there are paths extending from the firepit area. The trees are tall and the shade deep. We saw and heard wildlife (including owls at night), but it was mostly very quiet. We never even saw or heard any neighbors.But Owl’s Nest has more than nature. There were plenty of spaces on multiple levels for our group to spread out. The pool table room was a big hit, as was the hot tub. The media room was great for video games, and the poker room worked well for our tabletop gamers.The kitchen was well stocked and well organized. We were able to cook everything we wanted, and the double ovens came in very handy for feeding a crowd. Best of all, with so many bedrooms with attached bathrooms, the house was very comfortable for multiple couples to share.One warning I’ll share is that, because the property is on a slope, the ground around the house (especially around the firepit) is mostly uneven. We learned to watch our step everywhere to avoid trips and falls.The property was very clean, the decor tasteful, and the area beautiful and peaceful. Perfect for a gathering of family and/or friends!
