Brian, our host, communicated everything we needed to know about our stay and responded to questions quickly. The home was beautifully decorated, impeccably clean and comfortable. Quick 20 minute drive to Chestnut. Would absolutely stay here again!
The layout of the home, the bedrooms, hot tub, friendly and quick to respond host, pet friendly! Also loved the location. This house exceeded our expectations and the host was easy to work with and quick to respond. Would definitely love to come back and stay again - would highly recommend to others!
Vista View is a very comfortable, beautifully decorated home located on a very quiet golf course hole! We enjoyed using the hot tub and the fireplace every night. Communication with the owners was excellent!
We had a great stay at this rental! The house was clean, kitchen was well stocked, and the beds were comfortable. The backyard had a view of the golf course and we enjoyed watching the golfers while we enjoyed our morning coffee. We also really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub. The location was great too, just about 10 minutes from Galena’s Main Street. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful home inside and the view out back was great. First floor master bedroom worked so well for a member of our family who uses a cane. Plenty of room for us all and we enjoyed it so much!
We had a wonderful long weekend at Vista View. The property exceeded our expectations. It is beautifully maintained and thoughtfully organized to make it a great rental property. We would recommend this property for a great family getaway.
Very clean and comfortable property with plenty of space for my mother, sister, niece and me. Very much appreciated being able to bring my small dog with me. Beautiful views of the local landscape. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day, too.
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 property was perfect for our adult children and two Grandchildren. House was warm and inviting but more importantly safe for our young grandchildren. Host was very attentive! Our Family will be making this a yearly stay! Thank you so much!
My sons and I enjoyed our annual Eagle Ridge golf weekend. The weather was perfect. This property was perfect, great view from the deck on #11 hole South course. Plenty of room for 4 guys and hosted a dinner of 7 guys on the deck. I would highly recommend this house and hope to stay here again.

Easy, relaxing and comfortable
We sooo enjoyed our Thanksgiving away at Vista View. Very comfortable for our family. All the kitchen tools you could need, games, spacious… and a hot tub! This is a very well maintained vacation home and we could come back in a heartbeat.
Bonus points for Brian, who helped us book 2 separate houses and made the process so easy.
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. The house was super clean and had anything we could have needed! Would stay again!
Great location about 15-20 minutes from downtown. Well appointed and clean. We had 2 daughters with friends so we all liked having each bedroom on a separate floor. The girls loved the hot tub. The screened in porch is nice to relax and enjoy the view.
What an amazing home! The whole family went down to Galena for a weekend getaway and could not be happier with the house. Spacious, clean, great location, and everything you could need right in the home available to you. Truly a wonderful experience here. This is our second year coming back and look forward to our third year visiting Galena. Thank you!
Three bedrooms with their own bathroom. Beds very comfortable. Quiet neighbor with backyard butting up to a golf course. Host thought of everything, including wood for the fire pit and ingredients for s’mores. House was very clean. We had a great time!
