Welcome to Golfside Haven, your cozy Galena escape with a private outdoor hot tub! This four-bedroom, four-bath home has everything you need for a relaxing getaway—two spacious family rooms with flat-screen TVs, complimentary WiFi, darts, and a crackling wood-burning fireplace with firewood ready for you. The main floor offers an open kitchen, dining, and living space that flows to a screened porch and deck with a gas grill. Sleep easy in the king primary suite with en suite bath, or the nearby queen bedroom with en suite bath. Downstairs, you’ll find two more en suite bedrooms (king and queen) plus another family room that walks out to the oversized deck and private hot tub. Tucked away on over an acre with wooded views and seasonal glimpses of Eagle Ridge’s General Golf Course, Golfside Haven is the perfect blend of comfort, space, and nature.

Guests staying with us have access to the Galena Territory Owners’ Club, an exclusive amenity available only to Galena Territory property owners and their guests. The club features an indoor pool (open year-round) and an outdoor pool (open Memorial Day–Labor Day), along with waterslides, a kiddie pool, fitness room, game room, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, tennis courts, a seasonal snack bar, free Wi-Fi, and an outdoor playground. While visiting, be sure to explore Lake Galena, the Shenandoah Riding Center, and the extensive hiking trails across the 6,800-acre Galena Territory.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family used this home as an extra place for sleeping. We didn’t spend much time there at all during the day, as we hung out at our bigger rental house, but it was great for extra bedrooms (with en-suites) for guests to retreat to at night for some quiet sleep. The home was clean and on a beautiful wooded lot. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this again if we had a smaller group or needed extra space.

Reviewer Comments: I rented this home because it was across the street from my home and I needed extra space to house my adult grandchildren during a family event. The house was perfect, but it would have been nice to also have a hide-a=bed, but that was a small problem.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great experience staying at the rental in Galena Illinois the property was exactly as described on the website clean comfortable and dog friendly which was a huge Plus for us the furniture and beds were cozy and the space was beautifully decorated with especially enjoyed the eclectic art collection including pieces from France wine cork art and even a dart board that added a fun touch the location was peaceful and private yet conveniently close to the General Store a local restaurant and the golf course downtown Galena was a short 15 minute drive away make it an easy to explore while still enjoying the quiet of the property one small issue the coffee maker either needed instructions or wasn't working properly it took nearly 2 hours to brew in the coffee didn't taste right that aside everything else was smooth I had a couple of questions about accessing the website for my Android phone and the management was quick to respond and sent helpful PDF documents overall a lovely State and well managed property would definitely recommend

    Quiet location but close enough to Galena for an easy trip. Only issue was the coffee maker. With 6 coffee drinkers waiting 40 mins for a pot of coffee was annoying. But everything else was great. Highly recommend

    The house was big enough for our group of six adults dog, with plenty of places to spread out and relax. We were able to use the hot tub until the temps dropped below 10 degrees but there were plenty of other things to do. The house isn't far from downtown Galena and is an easy drive with only a few twists and turns. The fireplace kept us warm and we had plenty of firewood for cozy nights at home. I would highly recommend this rental.
