LUXURIOUS RANCH, 360 VIEWS, NEAR GALENA TER., 300 ACRES, TRAILS, PONDS, ANIMALS

The house was clean, beautiful and very spacious, we really enjoyed our stay. Hopefully next time we can plan a longer stay to tour around more. Owner and caretaker are all very accomodating.

Great space to have large scale meetings and great food in nearby Galena

We stayed Friday through Sunday. We utilized the baseball field, the golf course and enjoyed the main lodge and the Sunset Cottage. We had plenty of room for activities and was able to get ahold of Mark whenever we needed to.

Great hosts and a ton to do. Could have spent 2 weeks here for our family reunion and could not have done everything!

My family of 24 people (age ranges 1-70) stayed for one week at this wonderful rural property with pastoral views from an expansive deck. The evenings were serenely quiet and the days were filled with activities. We enjoyed petting Lucas the llama and the horses/donkey as well as viewing the peacocks. The equisitely historic town of Galena is a short drive away with plenty of shopping, eateries and tours. We biked along the Galena biking trail about 7 miles one way to Chestnut Mountain from town. After launching model rockets, Mark graciously helped retrieve one from a tree with his tractor and a pole saw. The children really enjoyed the hot tub and the pool facilities at the Galena Territory Owners Club. Just a fantastic week all around with no problems to mention.

This was the perfect location for our family of 21 to gather for Thanksgiving. The ranch had so many animals and places to roam and all the kids had fun playing on the baseball field. Enough ovens for all of the Thanksgiving Turkey and sides to be eaten hot, and enough room for all to enjoy our time together. Great location near Galena!

We were looking for a nice little getaway for our work group of about 16 people. Our primary goal was to allow everyone their own bedroom and bathroom, which was easily attainable given the amount of space available to us. When we arrived at the ranch, Mark was so hospitable and showed us all around the ranch multiple times as we had people show up at different times throughout the day. The houses we stayed in were clean and well-maintained. The scenery was also incredible, and we would absolutely consider coming back in the future!

We really appreciate the size of the house so everyone can get together. There was an amazing ping pong tournament which may become an annual event. Joe, the ranch hand gave us ranch tours which were really appreciated. Overall we felt the maintenance of the property was inferior to our last stay. The location is about 25 mins to Galena and about 25 minutes to Chestnut Mountain Resort- both are worth visiting.

We stayed here for my daughter’s wedding. Lots of family and also the bridesmaids. We were coming and going for 3 days. It was a fabulous place. The view and property were great. It was an incredible long weekend and this property was perfect for what we needed.

Our large group of family and friends had a wonderful time at the ranch. We had plenty of room to spread out and be comfortable. The views were just spectacular, and we loved the fire pit, the many balconies with ample seating, the large dining room tables, the comfortable beds, and the swim spa. Mark took many of us on a guided tour on his Rover which was fun for all. We got to see many of the ranch animals which was very special especially for the kids in our group. We would love to visit this place again!
