Golf Packages: New for 2025 - inquire for(e) more details!

Welcome to Vista View - relax and unwind in this inviting & beautiful vacation home with panoramic views of the stunning scenery of The Galena Territory and direct views of the 11th fairway of Eagle Ridge's South Golf Course. This home is in a prime resort location, a 5-minute drive to the Galena Territory Owners Club, 7 miles to historic Downtown Galena, and many wedding & event venues such as Ashton Hill, Eagle Ridge, Oak Hill Farm, & more. This exceptional home accommodates up to 6 guests.

As you enter Vista View, you walk into an open and exceptionally appointed home. The main living room is the perfect space to connect with family and friends while playing games on the large coffee table and enjoying the solid stone floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen/dining/family room combo is the ideal spot for gathering while making meals and spending time with the people you care about.

The home boasts two bedrooms and three full bathrooms, each with a king-size bed; the lower-level bedroom also has a queen bed. This home sits on the 11th hole of the Eagle Ridge South Golf course with a hot tub overlooking the course -- perfect for stargazing at night or taking in the sweeping views of the Territory during the day. Fire up the Weber grill, pour yourself a drink, have a seat at the patio table or on the screen porch, and enjoy the views of the Galena Hillside and Golf Course. There's a fire-pit our back for your enjoyment. Inside the home, there are all the fixings to make Smores while you enjoy the fire in the darkness of the Galena sky. The highly-appointed kitchen has everything you need to make quick meals or holiday feasts.

This home is dog-friendly (Hypoallergenic/non-shedding dogs will only be accepted); a non-refundable dog fee of $150 applies to any booking with a dog up to 2 max. In your booking request, please indicate the dog breed/type.

The Galena Territory is a Certified Dark Sky Community --- this means no street lights to pollute the night sky. Bring your telescope or your favorite Stargazer app to explore the night sky.

This house can comfortably accommodate three (3) cars in the driveway.

Vista View offers access to the Owner's Club amenities; 6 access cards are provided for use of the indoor and outdoor swimming pools, basketball, pickleball, and tennis courts, Lake Galena, and the Marina. If necessary, additional guest passes may be purchased at the Owners Club ($5 per day for anyone over 5 years of age)

We highly encourage purchasing Travel Insurance as we do not have a COVID or Weather Cancellation Policy; available after booking.

**All COVID-19 related restrictions have been lifted for the Galena Territory Owners Club including capacity limits and reservations for most amenities. There are a few amenities that do still require reservations - lap swimming at the indoor pool, tennis courts, pickleball courts, and outdoor basketball courts. This is subject to change if the State of Illinois re-institutes restrictions related to the pandemic. Reservations cannot be guaranteed, and there are no discounts or refunds if the Owner's Club amenities are not available. **

What a wonderful long weekend and a perfect property to stay at! The house was exactly as described and Brian made everything about the weekend so easy! We loved the hot tub, shooting hoops at the owners club and playing pickleball. The screened porch was perfect for sipping coffee with a beautiful view.

Very relaxing getaway!

We met up with some friends from Chicago and Minnesota for a Labor Day getaway, and had an extremely relaxing and low key wonderful time. The house is just as described, and we cooked out on the grill, popped in the hot tub, built a fire to sit out and stargaze, hopped on the golf course trail for a quick walk, enjoyed the snacks and smores station, all had our own king sized beds and bathrooms, and the drive downtown or to local attractions was all between 5-25min. Galena, in general, doesn’t have as much to do as we had hoped, but we went to all the local attractions in a long weekend, and had a fantastic time!

My friends and I had a cozy and comfortable stay at the property. The house was well set up, and included lots of the basics, which we appreciated. The location was excellent, as it was central to places we visited: Stonedrift Spa, main restaurant, general store, and an easy drive into Galena. We would definitely stay again!

The home has a well equipped kitchen, 3 nice bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, great hot tub and fire pit! Many of the blinds are missing rod to open and close, lower bathroom toilet paper holder dropped roll every time used. Ice maker didn’t make much ice till we were ready to leave on 3rd day. There is an odor of cat urine; especially in family room off dining room. Check-in and out process smooth and close drive and easy access to downtown Galena for shopping and restaurants and bars!
