What a wonderful house and a wonderful stay. Every detail was considered in this home from fans and tvs in every bedroom to very thoughtful amenities to share if needed. My group felt very well taken care of and appreciated. A++++

We absolutely loved our stay! We hosted a women’s in business retreat/getaway + it was everything we all needed! The space was perfect for our group or 12. We all felt so cozy + at home!

This home is packed with all the essentials—you’ll never have time to get bored. The garage is filled with all the entertainment you could need, with even more waiting in the basement. Outside, you’ll find beautiful natural surroundings. The bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and well-maintained. It’s definitely a charm!

This place was just perfect for our families to gather! The home was both beautiful and functional, with thoughtful touches throughout. We loved making memories in the game room, relaxing in the hot tub while deer passed through the yard, and sitting around the campfire at night. With 12 of us—from 2 months to 62 years old—it was the ideal spot to unwind and enjoy time together. The host was friendly, responsive, and clearly put great care into creating a wonderful space.

The house had everything we needed. Our extended family all had different goals/plans/needs and the house and its location offered something for all of them. We lived our stay and hope to be back in the future!

Loved our stay! Jennifer was very proactive at reaching out and providing recommendations and tips for our stay. The place was spacious and clean and we absolutely adored the outdoor space (both the deck and backyard/fire pit). Drive to downtown Galena was quick- do be aware the roads around the house/area are winding so would be cautious while driving but overall manageable. Would recommend this place to anyone with a group looking for a space for everyone to spread out and have a good time.

We have been participating in a baseball tournament at Field of Dreams for years. By far this was the best home we have stayed . From all the amenities to Jennifer being a great host. It was all worth the 1 hr drive to FOD's.This home had too many amenities to list. If you want privacy here it is! Thank you Jennifer!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our family had such a great stay! The home felt cozy and inviting, with comfortable beds and everything brand new. The kids loved spending time in the game room, and we all enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after exploring Galena. The host was very responsive and made the whole process simple and stress-free. We’d definitely come back for another family getaway!

Find us

🌌 The Galena Territory is a certified Dark Sky community, which makes for incredible stargazing ✨. Because outdoor lighting is limited, roads and driveways can feel very dark at night. Please drive slowly after sunset, and a flashlight can be helpful if you plan to walk outside (emergency flashlights are provided at the house). Roads within The Territory are paved, well-maintained, and easy to navigate, generally with light traffic. Free parking is available at Galena Bliss.
