The Jo Daviess County overnight maximum occupancy for The Eagle's Nest is 16 people (including children). This home is NOT pet-friendly. The Eagle's Nest is the largest private vacation rental home in the area with its extraordinary 12,000-square-foot interior. It is one of the most exclusive and sought-after premier vacation rental properties in Galena. It is a one-of-a-kind "must-see/must-stay" property. As you enter the great room on the main level, you immediately feel the spaciousness and luxury. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide natural lighting and panoramic views of our surrounding wooded acreage. The great room's focal point is the floor-to-ceiling limestone wood-burning fireplace (wood supplied). The warmth of leather furniture surrounds it, as well as sizeable distinctive area rugs and natural hickory hardwood floors. To the left is an intimate library nook. The main level has an open-concept floor plan with twin dining tables (seating for 16) and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen. The L-shaped granite counter (seat 12) is perfect for buffet-style serving. Step out onto the 115-ft. main-level wood deck (tables and seating for 16), where you will find a 52-inch gas grill. Enjoy your favorite beverage, a barbeque, and the outdoors. The Eagle's Nest has 8 bedrooms: 4 bedrooms on the main level and 4 bedrooms upstairs. Two bedrooms on the main level near the kitchen are handicap accessible, each with one king bed, a walk-in shower, and a soaking tub. The remaining 6 bedrooms all feature 2 king beds. Every bedroom is decorated with Galena-themed décor, custom coverlets, pillow shams, and window coverings with a room-darkening feature. You will find extra blankets, down comforters, and pillows. Each en-suite bathroom has a jetted tub, two sinks, and a walk-in custom-designed tiled shower with 9 ft. ceilings. There is ample room in the lower level (4000 square feet) for your group to enjoy games, movies, and more. The room has a 70" HD TV, pool table, poker table, air hockey, foosball, and ping-pong table. You will find a 27' bar with (seating for 13), three pub tables (seating for 12), a bar sink, dishwasher, beverage ware, an additional full-size refrigerator, and, available for your convenience, a laundry room. The southwest wall opens to the 70'patio with 4 double sliding glass doors. This will welcome guests onto the furnished patio for alfresco drinks and dining. Enjoy a walk on the designated path through the private wooded property, or gather your friends/family and play volleyball on the sand court. At the end of your day, enjoy the eight-person hot tub under cover in the gazebo located just off the patio or roast marshmallows over the open firepit.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cannot recommend this property enough. From initial booking and working with the owners, through check out, this was an A+ experience. I had a large group of guys in town for a golf trip and this property was beyond expectations for that type of trip. Massive common areas allow space for everyone to hang out while 8 bedrooms and 14 king size beds give everyone the rest and privacy needed at the end of the day. Hope I can put together another group of this size to get back as soon as possible! ##### Michael M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim D.

The place was amazing! I walked in and it was just like the pictures. So much space, so clean and a great space for the 13 of us to enjoy several days as a family. I recall the first night.....the sheets even smelled so clean and fresh. I have sent the VRBO link to several people who asked for if, after seeing our pictures. Bill and Sue, you have a beautiful home and were excellent to work with! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful space with our family! I'm so glad we found the Eagle Nest and will definitely be recommending it to family and friends! ##### Rachel K. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karis V. Aug 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for a family reunion! I rented this property for my extended family to stay together the weekend of my son’s wedding. It was a perfect space for us to gather together for breakfast, and come back to after exploring, beautiful Galena. There were so many amenities, we didn’t even get to try them all. Hot tub, barbecue, several scenic deck spaces, a huge basement with game room, barstools, fireplace, and more. Also volleyball court, beautiful trails that span throughout the property’s acres of nature. This place was absolutely perfect for our family gathering! Every bedroom has its own full bath. It felt like a hotel within a house. Unbelievable! Plenty of kitchenware to serve up to 28 guests. Plenty of extra pillows and linens. Only minutes from downtown Galena and the venue where we held my son’s wedding. I would highly recommend! Make sure to communicate with the hosts what your plans are, if you plan to have a party. We let them know that we were hosting a rehearsal dinner onsite. And they charged us an extra “party” fee. But I was happy to pay I t, because it was the perfect setting to hold our laid back, comfortable rehearsal dinner before the big wedding day. My brother-in-law had been to this property 10 years ago for a corporate event. I imagine this would be perfect for the corporate event setting as well. Definitely a must see! I highly, highly recommend this property if you are looking for a perfect family reunion VRBO home. ##### Karis V. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan P.

Reviewer Comments: Three generations of my family had a wonderful long weekend in the Eagle's Nest. The eight large master bedrooms, each with its own lux master bath, were a big hit. The large main floor and downstairs gathering spaces were perfect for all of us to relax and enjoy the weekend. The management company was great and very responsive to all our questions. ##### Daniel W. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joel W.

Reviewer Comments: Fantastic, we rented this house last year on the same weekend. The house was very clean, well-organized and perfect for our purposes. Additionally, we were able to get tee times for golf at a discounted price! One small problem was figuring out how to operate the multiple televisions? We were not able to watch a football game that was airing on "regular" tv? Possible solution? You Tube TV? Overall, very satisfied with all aspects of our stay! ##### Martin Q.

The house was very clean. One of the AC units was not working properly and this was handled within the hour. Easy process for communication with the owner/rental co. Beds were very comfortable and there was no expanse spared on the linens/decor/furnishings. I would highly recommend this home for your next large group get together!!! We all LOVED the Eagles Nest. ##### ferbs97 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerri G. Jan 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great get away for a big group!
