Groceries: The drive to Galena coming from the east is a very pleasant drive. You travel in a US Rt 20 which is a two lane highway. You travel thru many small towns such as Lena, Elizabeth, Stockton. There is a grocery store in the town of Stockton by the name of 'Sullivans Foods', this is a great place to stop and stock up on reasonably priced groceries as you are arriving. In the territories there is a general store for necessities, there is also a wonderful deli and bakery and meat counter here. They do also rent more current videos here for a 24 hour time period. You can also stay on Rt 20 past the turn to get downtown galena and there is a Piggly Wiggly and a Walmart super store. Gas at the Walmart is usually cheaper.
Short cut to town: When driving out of Green View Lane you want to take a left on to eagle ridge dr. and then your very next left on to thunder bay from here you will drive about 2 miles you will see the trash facilty on the left side just before that there is a farm road that will take you out to Rt 20 again. This will cut down your drive to town at least 15 minutes or more.
House essentials: When you arrive at the house you will need to turn on the water which is located inn the laundry room on the lowest level. Behind the door you will see a faucet, you need to open that valve when you arrive and close that valve when you leave. The thermostat has been programed for the heat and the cooling. When you arrive you need to open the cover and push run program and when you leave if you could set it at 55 degrees in the winter and in the summer at 80 degrees.

I also have laundry soap if you need to wash a few things in the new front load washer & dryer.
Very pretty view/property. On golf course & spectacular fall colors. Enjoyed the turkeys walking around yard, very cool! Not a fan of being responsible of all garbage, however we managed & dropped it off at community drop off. Great pool & well managed. Treated my adult kids, they loved it! We each had private bed & bath nice set up & plenty of kitchen supplies did not need to bring really anything. Cable so so but internet/phone on spot . Will be back next year if it's available.
First time staying at this property, but hopefully not the last. The house itself is lovely, well decorated and well equipped both inside and out. But the landscaping and views are beyond. Even with the hot weekend weather, we were still able to enjoy the outside quite a bit. The stars and setting were just beautiful. Easy short ride to historic downtown Galena (less than 15 minutes). We highly suggest the Downtown Galena Food & Drink Tour with Marissa. Our hostess, Sandy was always quick to reply to any questions we had. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We hope to be back.
The home is spacious and well furnished to comfortably accommodate my family of seven; truly felt like home. The gardens around the house were so beautiful that we opted to host extended family for cook outs in the evening. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!
The home was very clean and nicely decorated.
We’ve stayed at this VRBO before. It is an amazing place. Beautiful setting and relaxing. House was very clean. Communication from Property Manager was fast. We’ll be back!

Everything it promised to be! It's a great location, beautiful view, wonderful floor plan and well stocked with cookware and dinnerware. The clubhouse was a great place to relax by the pool and enjoy the sunshine, can't wait to visit again!
This house was perfect for our family and friends. We loved the location and the porch, deck, patio. It had almost everything we needed and was the perfect escape for the weekend
We had a great stay at this property! It was clean and so cozy! Felt like you were staying at a friend's home! Everything we needed for our stay was there! The screened in porch and back deck and fire pit were great! Quiet and wonderful location. So many birds to watch including turkeys and turkey babies! So cute! We look forward to staying again! Thank you!
The house is located in a very scenic and quiet area of the Galena territory. Our family enjoyed hanging out together at the house and outside around the fire pit. The house is fully stocked with everything you need for cooking.
