Weekend Getaway

This property is perfect for a big group of people. The houses were spacious and there was so much room for the guests we had. The scenery of the ranch was beautiful as we had a bonfire and watched the sun go down. Communication with the owners and the ranch hand was very easy and they were very accommodating. I definitely recommend staying here!

Family Reunion

Our family had a wonderful time here. The houses were large enough to accommodate our big family. It was particularly helpful to have the extra building, which we called our art house. The views were lovely. Thank you very much!!!

Work Retreat

We were looking for a nice little getaway for our work group of about 16 people. Our primary goal was to allow everyone their own bedroom and bathroom, which was easily attainable given the amount of space available to us. When we arrived at the ranch, Mark was so hospitable and showed us all around the ranch multiple times as we had people show up at different times throughout the day. The houses we stayed in were clean and well-maintained. The scenery was also incredible, and we would absolutely consider coming back in the future!

Great family get together!

We had a great time in the Octagon house and Caspian house. We also ate meals in the Art Studio. We enjoyed a campfire. We had great catch and release fishing in the pond. We played frisbee golf and then played baseball at the baseball field. We enjoyed seeing all of the animals. The Owner’s club was great for swimming. This a perfect getaway for our family.

Amazing and Expansive Property

These properties are phenomenal. The homes are just as pictured with even more space and thoughtfulness. The grounds are impeccable and include a baseball field, hiking trails, a pond, adorable animals, and frisbee golf. (Actually so much more). The recreation space was a bonus and two amazing fire pits with perfect views of sunrises and sunsets (and even a meteor shower)! What a perfect place for family fun and gathering. You don’t need to leave. Just enjoy and appreciate this memorable and unique property. The property manager and owners were amazing too.

Awesome location and Great for large groups

Both homes and the media craft barn were much bigger and more spacious than I could summize from the posted pictures. I loved the privacy of the location and the trust that was afforded my group. The weather changed quickly so we were not able to take advantage of the very lovely fire pits or the 2 hot tubs because it really seemed a bit more cold than we were used to earlier in the week. We all would be excited to come back again and enjoy more family time, meals and games that were played at the Octagon home. The beds were also very comfy and amazing by the way. It was a GREAT!!

2024 Galena Girls Reunion

This was our first reunion since 2011. There were 24 of us in this group. The property consisted of two houses and the Art studio. The property was awesome and accommodated our group comfortably. Mark and Joe (the propert manager) greeted us and made sure we had everything we needed. They were very responssive to any questions we had. The check in and check out was easy and simple. The Art Studio was located between the houses, and was great place to connect. It had everything we needed to host dinner, breakfast, watch tv, and enjoy activities. In front of the art studio was a firepit with sufficient chairs and wood for our stay. The view from this location was simply amazing. We will definitely be returning to this location for our next reunion.

Great place for large gathering

We held our family reunion at the Octagon and Caspian Houses. We used the Octagon House as the primary entertainment venue and the Caspian House for older family members who wanted to get some quiet from time-to-time. Both houses were large and very comfortable. We loved sitting on the porch of the Octagon House watching the sunset. The Art Studio was great for watching movies in large groups and intense games of table tennis. The ranch itself provided some entertainment with the 9 hole milk can golf course, frisbee golf, animals, and hiking trails. The ranch sits about 20 minutes outside of Galena, which is a cute town with lots of shopping and dining options. The owners and ranch hand were very friendly and helpful. All-in-all, it was perfect for our family reunion and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place to gather.

We had a wonderful family gathering for Thanksgiving and it was amazing. The ranch has beautiful views, wonderful trails and great animals! The Octagon and Caspian provided lots of space for the family with all our meals at Octagon. Joe, was very friendly and helpful in getting us situated. Mark, the owner, was also very pleasant to work with. Look forward to a return trip sometime in the future.

Great Stay!

Very impressed with our stay at this property. The Octagon house has a wonderful view of the surrounding valley and cozy living room where our large group was able to gather. There are plenty of beds, bathrooms, showers to go around. We also loved the hot tubs! There is also a cozy outdoor firepit area that we would have loved to use had we had more time. Close enough to Galena as well to be an easy drive into town and back. Would definitely stay again!

Great place!

Nice stay at the octagon and caspian. Mark was terrific to work with. Property is amazing. Great views - trails galore. Kids fell in love with the art studio - a great place to gather. Use of owners club and pools was easy. It is a workng ranch with on-site animals and plenty of trails. Bring appropriate shoes and clothes to take advantage of the property! Terrific place for family to gather.

Not worth it!

The experience overall was very disappointing! For a property you pay a significant amount for you expect a lot more. Some good things: the views from the front deck, the studio was newer and a nice place to gather had a ping pong table & large tv, the beds were comfortable, the owners clubhouse/pool was great(off site). The negatives: could benefit from exterminator services had to deal with mice at the octagon house & large spiders at the caspian home, no air conditioning in the octagon basement, the hot tub, grills, ovens & decks were not clean, some furniture is very run down, there were no instructions for checking in & out or WiFi, passes to owners club were not in the house as indicated. The activities that are supposed to be be part of the location are not as listed, can’t fish unless you have a four wheel drive. Save yourself a lot of heart ache and book a different location. Have rented many times through vrbo and this is the first time that I have given less than 4 stars. We do have photos & text messages if there are any questions.
