Nestled on a secluded hillside that overlooks miles of Galena Territory's wildlife preserve, DunPuttin Place offers its guests total privacy, yet the convenience of being only minutes from the area's many popular amenities.

A famous resort and its 4 nationally rated golf courses are just around the corner. The Shenandoah Riding Stable and over 40 miles of trails are equally convenient. The historic town of Galena is only 6 miles to the west, while the Diamond Jo casino and the DubuqueDog Track and casino are only a little further down the road.

DunPuttin Place is not just another carbon copy resort rental. It is a unique private home that has many features seldom found in vacation rentals, as you will see from the following partial list:

- Four Bedrooms
- Three Full Baths
- Two King Suites with Private Bath
- Four Queen Beds
- One Queen Sleeper Sofa
- One Full Sleeper Sofa
- Central Heat & Air Conditioning

Imagine that you have returned from a full day of golf, tennis, boating, gambling, shopping, skiing or any of the activities that historic Galena has to offer. It's time to sink into the spa on the screened porch and enjoy a spectacular view of the unspoiled nature preserve that surrounds you. Watch the colors change as the sun moves over the horizon.

Although the area features some of the most spectacular golf in the country, this is not just a Summer house. In Fall, the changing colors are an attraction in themselves, while in Winter, the Chestnut Mountain Ski Resort is only minutes away and...

THE SPA IS KEPT HOT ALL YEAR!

    Our homeowners were easy to communicate with and always answered promptly. We loved our house and sleeping arrangements worked out perfectly! The common space was cozy and comfortable with plenty of room for the eight of us. Enjoyed having a fire on a chilly night in February! The hot tub was a big hit and used both nights of our stay! We would definitely recommend this property to anyone! We hope to come again in warmer weather to enjoy the outdoor facilities! Directions were good and we had no trouble locating the property. Thank you for providing the perfect place for a “Girls’ Getaway”! Ours was a family event with myself, my two daughters and five granddaughters! This was something I had hoped we could do for quite awhile and it turned out perfectly! Pat S. Moline, IL

    Property was just as described, plenty of space for our family of 12 to spend Thanksgiving weekend. Kitchen had everything needed to prepare family meals, and gathering areas to play games, build puzzles, etc. The lower level was great for the kids and adults with video games, shuffleboard, darts and many other fun activities! Hot tub was a favorite, kids were especially excited to use it during a big snowstorm! Being snowed in was fun because there was so much to do! Communication with the owner was probably the best I’ve ever experienced with vrbo. All in all it was the perfect place for our family to make lasting memories! Would definitely stay here again!

    Eight of us stayed here for a guys golf trip. Perfect house for the golf lover. Loved all the golf related signs and memorabilia. We didn't have time to enjoy all the amenities the Galena territories offers but all of it is included if you stay at DunPuttin Around. Hosts communication was top notch from start to finish. Would definitely recommend staying here to family and friends!

    I thought this would be closer to Galena. No connection to the TV. We had to TAKE our garbage with us......really? the drop-off site they recommended needed a code and had a closed gate.The basement was damp, so WE turned on the dehumidifier. It should be running all the time for dampnessThe hot tub was nice along with the basement game room.

    This house is the perfect house if you're looking for a little getaway. Plenty of space we had eight women with us and did not feel crowded at all. The deck is beautiful in the hot tub was awesome too. We would definitely stay at this place again The homeowners were amazing even let us check in early that was awesome. If I could I would give this place a hundred stars.

    This was our first trip to the Galena area and we found DunPuttin to be a great place to do so. The house is nicely furnished and comfortable. The hosts were very communicative and helpful. The amenities of the Territories are nice and it’s polity to all of our activities was great.

    We had a great time at DunPuttin Place, celebrating 60th BDs with high school friends! Plenty of space for 5, with games, hot tub, comfortable furniture in a secluded spot in Eagle Ridge Resort! Prompt communication and resolution when a fire alarm battery went dead and started chirping. Highly recommend!!
