The Eagle's Nest was designed for corporate meetings/events, golf/ski groups, and destination family and friend gatherings. The Jo Daviess County overnight maximum occupancy for The Eagle's Nest is 16 people (including children). This home is NOT pet-friendly.

The Eagle's Nest is the largest private vacation rental home in the area with its extraordinary 12,000-square-foot interior.  It is one of the most exclusive and sought-after premier vacation rental properties in Galena. It is a one-of-a-kind must-see/must-stay property. As you enter the great room on the main level, you immediately feel the spaciousness and luxury. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide natural lighting and panoramic views of our surrounding wooded acreage. The great room's focal point is the floor-to-ceiling limestone wood-burning fireplace (wood supplied). The warmth of leather furniture surrounds it, as well as sizeable distinctive area rugs and natural hickory hardwood floors. To the left is an intimate library nook. The main level has an open-concept floor plan with twin dining tables (seating for 16) and a fully equipped gourmet kitchen. The L-shaped granite counter (seat 12) is perfect for buffet-style serving. Step out onto the 115-ft. main-level wood deck (tables and seating for 16), where you will find a 52-inch gas grill. Enjoy your favorite beverage, a barbeque, and the outdoors.

The Eagle's Nest has 8 bedrooms: 4 bedrooms on the main level and 4 bedrooms upstairs.  Two bedrooms on the main level near the kitchen are handicap accessible, each with one king bed, a walk-in shower, and a soaking tub.  The remaining 6 bedrooms all feature 2 king beds. Every bedroom is decorated with Galena-themed décor, custom coverlets, pillow shams, and window coverings with a room-darkening feature. You will find extra blankets, down comforters, and pillows. Each en-suite bathroom has a jetted tub, two sinks, and a walk-in custom-designed tiled shower with 9 ft. ceilings. There is ample room in the lower level (4000 square feet) for your group to enjoy games, movies, and more.  The room has a 70 HD TV, pool table, poker table, air hockey, foosball, and ping-pong table. You will find a 27' bar with (seating for 13), three pub tables (seating for 12), a bar sink, dishwasher, beverage ware, an additional full-size refrigerator, and, available for your convenience, a laundry room. The southwest wall opens to the 70'patio with 4 double sliding glass doors. This will welcome guests onto the furnished patio for alfresco drinks and dining.  Enjoy a walk on the designated path through the private wooded property, or gather your friends/family and play volleyball on the sand court. At the end of your day, enjoy the eight-person hot tub under cover in the gazebo located just off the patio or roast marshmallows over the open firepit. Please note there are exterior security cameras at this property.

Additionally, we were able to get tee times for golf at a discounted price! One small problem was figuring out how to operate the multiple televisions? We were not able to watch a football game that was airing on regular tv? Possible solution? You Tube TV? Overall, very satisfied with all aspects of our stay!

    “Our group of 15 loved the house! The location was perfect, and the home was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The basement area was a big hit, with a great selection of games to keep everyone entertained. It had everything we needed for a wonderful stay, and everyone had a fantastic time.”

The house was very clean. One of the AC units was not working properly and this was handled within the hour. Easy process for communication with the owner/rental co. Beds were very comfortable and there was no expanse spared on the linens/decor/furnishings. I would highly recommend this home for your next large group get together!!! We all LOVED the Eagles Nest.

The eight large master bedrooms, each with its own lux master bath, were a big hit. The large main floor and downstairs gathering spaces were perfect for all of us to relax and enjoy the weekend. The management company was great and very responsive to all our questions.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cannot recommend this property enough. From initial booking and working with the owners, through check out, this was an A+ experience. I had a large group of guys in town for a golf trip and this property was beyond expectations for that type of trip. Massive common areas allow space for everyone to hang out while 8 bedrooms and 14 king size beds give everyone the rest and privacy needed at the end of the day. Hope I can put together another group of this size to get back as soon as possible!

    We booked the Eagle Nest to host a reunion of 8 grade school friends who all turned 60 this year. Eight couples stayed two nights and everyone loved the home. There was ample space to eat together and engage in activities. The host were wonderful. The guys golfed and the women shopped and did the spa. The spa was fantastic!!

    Fantastic gathering place for couples. Home was clean and well laid out. The hot tub was one of our favorite hangouts. Bedrooms were private with your own bath. Beds were comfortable. Check in and out was easy. We have stayed in many Galena homes over the years, this one was by far the best.
