Spacious
This is the 2nd year we stayed here for family vacation. We had 3 generations of ages and it worked well for all of us. Spacious rooms, well stocked kitchen, great fire pit area, comfortable screened in porch, and close to the amenities of the Galena Territory.

Perfect for our needs
Having bathrooms for all bedrooms was so helpful. The fire pit was enjoyed by all. We were amazed & happy to see so many stars in the sky…it’s peaceful there & you feel like you’re a million miles away. The two upper decks are great for watching our guests using the large yard & fire pit area. Everythjng you need is there. So restful. Plenty to do or relaxing to do nothing.

Attentive owners, great house
This house is spacious inside and out. The floor plan makes it easy for people to comfortably enjoy their stay whether together with family and friends, or away from the group. The property is expansive and in a great location. The owners are responsive/invested in making sure their guests meet or exceed their expectations. We found this to be our experience!theitwonderfully en

Great place to stay!
We rented this house as a group of 5 girls with their kids ages 7-11. We loved everything about it. It was so close to the pool and basketball hoops. The house was clean and had enough space for our whole group (11people). The hot tub was clean and the we loved the big fire pit. The hosts were very quick to answer any questions and very helpful. We didn’t know Galena had so many flies and gnats, so next time we’ll bring some things to keep the bugs away. We will definitely rent this house again!

Wonderful Stay at The Galena Getaway
After years of staying at the same house in The Territory, our family simply outgrew our accommodations. Searching VRBO we found a house that looked like it fit our needs, and we were correct! Pete and Laura are wonderful hosts and good communicators, the house exceeded our expectations-it was very clean, had things like plenty of pots, pans, silverware, etc and especially sharp knives (and a knife sharpener!) and the fire pit was wonderful (fire pits are one of our requirements.) Our entire family voted to return to the Getaway next year!!

Beautiful location, Great for a group
Our group of 7 had plenty of room in the house and appreciated that each bedroom had an en suite bath. We enjoyed the many games, pool table, and foosball in the house and were able to comfortably sit at the table ( with dining chairs for up to 10). We didn't use the hot tub because it was uncovered outside and the weather did not cooperate! The location is beautiful and a local taxi service was able to pick us up from the house. My only small complaint was the lack of cooking oil in the kitchen, which I would consider a basic necessity of a kitchen in a rental house.

Layout of home was great!! Loved each bathroom per bedroom. The huge table was a plus for eating and games. We’ve been getting together with this group for 25 years, first time in 22 years without kids. Probably one of our favorite homes we’ve stayed at.

2nd visit with family for the holidays
The house is big and roomy for a large group. We had 11 people staying, ages 12 - 75 and everyone had room to spread out. It is nice that there are so many bedrooms with attached bathrooms for privacy. We especially enjoyed the living room with adjoining dining room so that we all could be in the same room even when doing separate things. The house is in the Galena Territory which has a nice club house offering basketball, swimming and a game room. There are 6 passes available to visitors. This was our second stay at this property. Unfortunately, many of the repairs needed that we noticed last year were still present this year. There are unpainted repair patches on the walls in various rooms, the fireplace cover was off, several light bulbs out, broken shelves in the fridge, both keurig machines didn't work, spots on the carpet and the whole place could use a paint job. We couldn't find a shovel when it snowed and had to improvise with dust pans to clear the walkway. It took over 36 hours for the complex to plow. The checkout list of things to do is reasonable however having to take the garbage to the dump is kind of a pain especially at this nightly rate. Overall this home works well for a large group. With a bit of TLC this home could be really nice. The screened in porch, firepit and hot tub look like they would be fun in the summertime.

Great place for our family of 8 adults!
A rainy weekend didn’t stop us from having a great time here. The kitchen had everything we needed as stated in the description. Our family of 8 adults was able to all eat and play games at the dining room table. We spent lots of time in the game room playing pool and foosball! We even used the hot tub in the rain! Everyone loved having their own bathroom with their bedroom. The owners were very responsive to all of our concerns.

Beautiful home with great hosts.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Laura and Pete Papanicolaou's VRBO home in Galena, IL! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that they are exceptional hosts. First off, their responsiveness and hospitality were remarkable. When our coffee maker decided to quit on us, Laura and Pete didn't waste a moment. They sent their property assistant over right away with a brand new coffee maker, ensuring our mornings started off perfectly. The house itself was a dream. Spacious enough for our group of ten, it offered both comfort and elegance. We spent hours shooting pool, playing games, and gathering around the inviting bonfire. Galena itself proved to be a charming destination. We explored the quaint downtown area, indulging in local shopping and dining. The fall festival was an absolute highlight, adding an extra layer of fun and festivity to our stay. In summary, Laura and Pete's VRBO home in Galena provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable getaway with friends and family. Their attentive hosting, combined with the beauty and amenities of their property, made our stay truly unforgettable. We can't wait to return for another incredible experience!

A great property. The home is spacious and very clean. We like to grill and cook and appreciated the large gas grill and well stocked kitchenware. Everyone was comfortable in the large kitchen, dining and living room...and then retreating to their own bed and bath at the end of a fun day. The large lawn and fire pit were great for young and old alike. Many amenities of the Galena Territory are within a quick drive.
