Weekend Getaway with family

We were looking for a nice location to stay with our 4 kiddos in the territories. This home could not have been more perfect. The hot air balloon festival was just a short(0.75mile) walk away, there were trails to walk with the family, and the owners club was a short drive(5 minutes) away. We enjoyed everyone moment of our weekend. We loved that we could bring our family pet along and did not have to worry about adding a crate to an already full vehicle. We were there during a heat wave and the owners allowed us to check in a little early so we could drop off our pet so she wouldn’t over heat walking around with us while we were downtown. We will definitely be back

Amazing family friendly find!

Will’s place was amazing and even better than advertised. It had everything we needed for traveling with an infant, a toddler, and a dog. They even had a tiny potty for the little one. The place was pristine, and the views were incredible and so relaxing. Will was very responsive and set us up for an enjoyable stay. We will definitely be back.

Golf Getaway

This property was great. It was very clean and provided all we would need to feel at home. The location was perfect. We were a 2 minute drive to the golf courses and a few steps away from a nice walking path. We would not hesitate to recommend this property.

Great views and comfortable stay!

We spent 6 nights at Dear Galena as a family of 4. The amount of room was perfect for us! The beds were very comfortable and the playroom was a major plus for a getaway space for the kids to hang out. We loved the beverage center with all the coffee maker options! It was easy to get to downtown Galena, area attractions and to the clubhouse (yay, pool!). The townhouse had great views and it's location was nice and quiet when we were there. Definitely would rent again the next visit to Galena.

Great Stay for Family with Little Kids

We stayed here with 3 kids ranging from 1-6 years old and 1 dog. Super convenient for little kids with a nice playroom that the older 2 enjoyed. Lots of baby stuff here too like pack n play and baby gate. Easy to get into town and we enjoyed a day at the pool at the owners' club during a rainy day. Would rent again.

Perfect for a little getaway

This is by far one of the best dog-friendly VRBOs I've stayed at - and with no additional pet fee either! It is so nice to not have to worry about bringing along a crate, bowls, or even a leash. This place was super nice in many other ways as well. The jetted tub is very relaxing and worked great. I slept better here after a night in the tub than I do at my own house! The sheets in the primary bedroom are super comfy. The silverware, dishes, and pots and pans are all very clean and the coffee station is amazingly stocked! The place is perfect for a quick getaway and it was nice to just be able to relax. Another bonus was that use of the garage is included, which makes it so nice to be able to load/unload undercover and in privacy. Thank you for sharing this great place - will return when we can! :)

Nice place for a getaway from the city

We had a great time at this place! The property was perfect for the four of us and our dog. And the surrounding area is beautiful, even in late December with no snow. We took long walks on the many hiking paths and went into Galena for dinners. Unfortunately I didn’t manage to make the gas fire work but it was not too cold outside so not a big deal. We also enjoyed the amenities of the Galena Territory Owners Club, which was very nice.
