Other amenities available in The Galena Territory
Lake Galena & Marina: 225-acre lake that is great for fishing, and boaters who enjoy observing nature on leisurely cruises. It boasts some of the best fishing in the area, with an abundance of smallmouth and largemouth bass, walleye, bluegill, channel catfish, perch, and tiger muskie. The lake is primarily spring fed with a spillway at one end, creating a beautiful 40-foot waterfall called Thunder Bay Falls.
You can rent a boat at the Bait & Tackle Shop. Just bring one of the white proximity cards with you to show you are a guest of an association member.
Greenspace & Trails
More than 1,700 acres of Greenspace (open spaces) scattered throughout The Territory are maintained as natural habitat and protected from future development, including the 7-mile shoreline of Lake Galena. There are 24 miles of trails. The trails closest to Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa are paved and suitable for jogging, power walking and other activities that require sure footing. Some of these trails also have lookout platforms for beautiful panoramas of Lake Galena and the countryside.
Shenandoah Riding Center
They provide you and your family with well-trained horses for all skill levels. Trail riders must be 8 years of age or older and weigh 65-250 pounds. For your protection, we provide friendly and helpful trail guides on all rides, and we do not permit double riding. We recommend all horseback riders wear long pants and heeled closed-toe shoes. Helmets are available free of charge.

Great place excellent location
This house had everything we needed; an amazing view, a bed for each of us, enough bathrooms to get ready in, a great location and a hot tub to relax in. Unfortunately, 3 out of the 6 ladies staying here got rashes within 24 hours of going home. We tied the rashes to the hot tub as it is easy to contract hot tub folliculitis in unsanitary hot tubs. We also found broken glass in this hot tub. No one was hurt by the glass so we just took it out and forgot about it. I was told it is chlorinated and shocked every time new guests come in and cleaned out every month. It’s just hard to believe that information when dealing with a very unpleasant rash that half of the guests developed at the same time. Coincidence? Maybe but doubtful. I wouldn’t dare touch that hot tub again and would think twice about future vacation hot tubs because of this experience.
The house is beautiful inside. Surface clean was obvious & thank you to the young lady who did the cleaning. If only one person was scheduled in a 4-hour turn around booking,that is not enough for the size of the house. Normal maintenance was questionable. Upstairs hall toilet failed in tank fill numerous times. Kitchen drawers need repair. Cabinets need a good internal cleaning & items left by previous renters should be discarded &/ or organized as needed. Did not use any utensils or kitchen items without first washing everything well. Trash was left at garage door from previous renters. No extra older towels for hot tub. For a place that sleeps so many, there were no extra towels except what was hung in each bathroom. No extra blankets for possible cooler nights. No dishrag & only 2 dishtowels in kitchen. I was glad I went prepared for everything. Those who wanted- enjoyed the hot tub, the fire pit, pool table & we had great family time playing cards & visiting. The biggest question is the Guest Accomodation License at the front door. We took a picture of expiration date: 12/31/19. I will not book that place in the future.
Beautiful and clean home. There was lots of room and we enjoyed the view!
Nice big home with beautiful view.
This property has a fantastic layout and great location, but the owners are clearly doing the bare minimum to maintain and rent it. They were totally non-responsive to questions we had prior to arriving and did not offer to take care of issues while we were there. Am pretty sure the next guests experienced the same problems - toilet in half bath did not work (they had us shut off the water and never came to fix it), there were no batteries in the TV remotes (not run-down batteries ... NO batteries), no light bulbs in several lamps, no blinds or curtains in most of the bedrooms, no extra towels or blankets and only one pillow per person, no steps to get into the 4-foot tall hot tub (no wonder 2 outdoor chairs were broken), no chairs at the table on the deck (I guess you are suppose to just stand on the deck), and two of the four burners on the stove didn't work correctly. There was mold all around the bottom of one shower and dirty rings in all of the toilets. We still had fun, but ... with just a little effort and cleaning the house could have been awesome.
We weren't at the house that much except at night. Most of us would have preferred window coverings to keep daylight out in the morning to help relaxing and sleeping in. Couldn't find dishclothes. Beds were very comfortable. Make sure people know to bring everything they will need to cook, even salt and pepper! House was a great size. We'd stay again if window coverings were put up! Also, we did break one wine glass. Sorry, just want to be honest.
The property fit the whole family and grandchildren! We just had so much fun on our stay! We love the galena territory!this property location is excellent,close to the owners club and marina!
Booked this property for a family trip only to arrive Friday afternoon to another family already staying at home!! We were refunded that same day but had to squeeze into a 2 bedroom (only property available at Eagle Ridge) versus the 5 bedroom we thought we had reserved. Will never use VRBO again and will only stay through Eagle Ridge Resort after this. They were so nice and accommodating to us after this fiasco. Make sure you check you are the only guests reserved at this place!!!
Thank you
