This exceptional home accommodates up to 6 guests.

As you enter Vista View, you walk into an open and exceptionally appointed home. The main living room is the perfect space to connect with family and friends while playing games on the large coffee table and enjoying the solid stone floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen/dining/family room combo is the ideal spot for gathering while making meals and spending time with the people you care about.

The home boasts three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, each with a king-size bed; the lower-level bedroom also has a queen bed.

There's a fire-pit our back for your enjoyment. Inside the home, there are all the fixings to make Smores while you enjoy the fire in the darkness of the Galena sky.

    We had a great stay at this rental! The house was clean, kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The backyard had a view of the golf course and we enjoyed watching the golfers while we enjoyed our morning coffee. We also really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. The location was great too, just about 10 minutes from Galena’s Main Street. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely stay here again!

    We sooo enjoyed our Thanksgiving away at Vista View. Very comfortable for our family. All the kitchen tools you could need, games, spacious… and a hot tub! This is a very well maintained vacation home and we could come back in a heartbeat. Bonus points for Brian, who helped us book 2 separate houses and made the process so easy.

    What a wonderful long weekend and a perfect property to stay at! The house was exactly as described and Brian made everything about the weekend so easy! We loved the hot tub, shooting hoops at the owners club and playing pickleball. The screened porch was perfect for sipping coffee with a beautiful view. The house was super clean and had anything we could have needed! Would stay again!

    My sons and I enjoyed our annual Eagle Ridge golf weekend. The weather was perfect. This property was perfect, great view from the deck on #11 hole South course. Plenty of room for 4 guys and hosted a dinner of 7 guys on the deck. I would highly recommend this house and hope to stay here again.

    We met up with some friends from Chicago and Minnesota for a Labor Day getaway, and had an extremely relaxing and low key wonderful time. The house is just as described, and we cooked out on the grill, popped in the hot tub, built a fire to sit out and stargaze, hopped on the golf course trail for a quick walk, enjoyed the snacks and smores station, all had our own king sized beds and bathrooms, and the drive downtown or to local attractions was all between 5-25min. Galena, in general, doesn’t have as much to do as we had hoped, but we went to all the local attractions in a long weekend, and had a fantastic time!

    What an amazing home! The whole family went down to Galena for a weekend getaway and could not be happier with the house. Spacious, clean, great location, and everything you could need right in the home available to you. Truly a wonderful experience here. This is our second year coming back and look forward to our third year visiting Galena. Thank you!
