Great trip with college friends

The house was perfect for our group! Very comfy beds, lots of room to spread out, gorgeous spaces…we loved it all! The kitchen was well stocked; the only thing we thought was missing were wine glasses. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this home.

Cool vistas and scenic views

Very nice and accommodating for a family gathering. Lots of space yet plenty of privacy in the many different rooms that offer guests places to retreat for solitude when looking to get away from the crowd. We went in the fall but look forward to a return in the summer to use all of the outdoor activities that are available.

Family Getaway in Galena Territory

Tower House is a great place for a family vacation. It’s cozy, bright and comfortable. With bedrooms located on all three levels, it provides guests with space and privacy. The main level has plenty of gathering space that spills out onto a large deck with great views. The property is clean and well maintained and comes with a completely outfitted kitchen. The location is quiet and beautiful. I highly recommend Tower House.

This property exceeded our expectations!Absolutely beautiful inside and out.The floor plan of the house is perfect, the best stocked house we have ever rented, never a need to buy more TP, paper towels, laundry soap, dishwasher soap, even shampoo and shower soap was supplied. In addition to the expected rooms, living room dining area, large bedrooms, screened in porch, there are some bonus rooms that made this home extra special. A sweet library off the living room and a tower room at the top of the house for great views and amazing night skies.The landscaping was beautiful , and the salt water pool , the best! It was too warm to use the hot tub and sauna, but they would be great in the cooler months!The location is very convenient. Downtown Galena is only 10 minutes away.And Ron, the owner, went above and beyond in sharing information and responding to any question almost immediately.What more can I say?We have fallen in love with this very special home!!

This beautiful home was perfect for us. Ron is the nicest, most accommodating host you could ask for. Stunning home with lots of space and views from every room. We enjoyed everything, the screened in porch, the sauna, the whirlpool, the grill, the fire pit, and the most spectacular Tower room. We will definitely be back. For all of it…and the incredible sunsets!

Family Getaway

Our stay at the Tower House was amazing. We enjoyed everything this house had to offer; hot tub, sauna, games, family dinners. The house is very spacious with plenty of room for the entire family and provided the ability for the kids to do “their own things” throughout our stay.Ron was prompt with answering any of our questions prior to our stay. Since we were arriving later in the evening, he left the lights on to welcome us.We would recommend the Tower house!

Fun and versatile house

The house has a beautiful view while offering total privacy. The layout of the house affords lots of room to gather but also cozy private spaces. As the earliest riser in the family, I loved drinking my first cup of coffee on the private upstairs deck. This house will be doubly spectacular once the inground swimming pool is completed. Unfortunately we were too busy with the kids to enjoy the hot tub or sauna.

As advertised!

We rented this house for a 4-night stay to celebrate my dad’s 85th birthday. It was exactly what we had hoped for. We had the fireplace going every night, stayed in and cooked two of the nights, and had movie night each night. The convenience store a few minutes from the house had everything we needed but forgot to bring! The house was super cozy and comfortable. The check-in process was a breeze and communications were timely. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a nice little getaway with the family or large group!

Fabulous place for 3 generations

We had a perfect 4-day vacation there. It is a beautiful house in a great location. There was room for all nine of us to play together and also to find a space for some alone time. We hung out and relaxed. We cooked together in the well-stocked kitchen. We played games in the house and on the large area of mowed grass. The kids swam and played in three pools in the owner's club. The adults used the work out room and the tennis courts there. We went horse back riding at a stable a short 8 minute drive from the house. We want to come back next summer!

Gorgeous Home & Great Views

We love visiting the Galena area. This home is perfectly situated in the Galena Ridge Territory area. The property and home are very well kept and there is ample space for a family to relax. The outdoor space is wonderful and the warm pool and hot tub are terrific. Plenty of land for kids to run around too. The bathrooms and kitchen are not new but extremely well kept and clean. There was ample key items like dish soap, detergent, toilet paper, pool towels. Many places skimp and this place did not! It’s little things like this that go a long way!! We loved it here and intend to visit again. Highly recommended.
