Premier 8 BR Home-The Eagle's Nest! Hot Tub, Game Room, Fire Pit!

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.
