Welcome to Carol's Cottage, where you'll discover a charming and comfortable home that captures your heart from the moment you arrive.
On the main floor, you’ll find cozy living space and kitchen along with one bedroom. The main level is open and modern, featuring a wood-burning fireplace, smart TV, and a large sofa and side chairs. The sofa is a sleeper bed, offering additional sleeping arrangements. The open kitchen design ensures that everyone can socialize together without feeling separated. On the second floor, the primary bedroom features a king-sized bed and ensuite bathroom. Bed linens and towels are provided for the max occupancy of the home (Carol's Cottage has a max occupancy of 6). Laundry is available in the home during your stay, located upstairs.
During the warmer months, step out onto the deck from the living room to enjoy the wooded backdrop while sipping on a glass of wine and grilling up a BBQ feast on the gas grill. Carol's Cottage is dog-friendly (hypo-allergenic only) - a maximum of two dogs weighing up to 30 lbs each. A $150 dog fee applies.
Conveniently situated just minutes from Eagle Ridge Resort, the newly expanded Stonedrift Spa, Lake Galena, and scenic walking/running trails, Carol's Cottage offers the ideal retreat. Our guests also have access to The Galena Territory Owner's Club amenities, with six access cards provided for use of indoor and outdoor swimming pools, basketball, pickleball, and tennis courts, Lake Galena, and the Marina; select amenities may have an additional fee. While Eagle Ridge Resort amenities are reserved for their guests, our guests are welcome to enjoy Eagle Ridge's public golf courses, spa, and dining options available at the resort.
Carol's Cottage is a short drive to all of the golf courses (South, North, East, and The General), a four-minute drive to the Country Store, a seven-minute drive to the Owners Club (featuring indoor/outdoor pools, a fitness center, tennis and basketball courts, and a game room), a 10-minute drive to Downtown Galena, Piggly Wiggly, and Walmart for any necessary essentials.
Please note that we highly advise purchasing travel insurance for your trip, as we do not have a Covid or weather cancellation policy.

We enjoyed our visit. Severe weather hit the area during our stay and we felt cozy and safe in the cottage. We appreciated the space and all the comforts of home. We communicated with the owners due to some Internet issues (a result of the storms and not the owners fault in any way) and the response was quick and kind. Good stay!

This property is so cute and cozy. Perfect for 4 adults and one dog. It's only 10 minutes from downtown Galena, and 5 from the Eagle Ridge Resort. Showers were great, too! Brian was easy to communicate with when we had an questions. I would definitely rent again!

The cottage itself was great! It is a bit out of the way- It is also an HOA with many amenities, but they are miles away. We had some trouble navigating where to find the needed parking pass to utilize the amenities. The cottage is nestled among several other little cottages. Nice place, Galena is a lot of fun with very kind people!
