Cozy getaway for a girls weekend in Galena
Great location close to Galena but still away from everything. Perfect for our group of 5 adult women (late-30s) to celebrate a friends recent marriage.

Amazing getaway
This place is a treasure. My husband, teen age son and our dog stayed at Aspen House for nearly a week and we truly did not want to leave. It was so comfortable, quiet and private yet only 15 minutes from Downtown Galena. Right outside the door were miles of beautiful hiking trails. We enjoyed the firepit and relaxing on the screened porch and as others have said, there are wonderful, comfortable spaces to gather or to be alone. Communication was fantastic. We will be back!

Can't ask for more
This was a cute little house in the woods, near hiking trails and nice amenities. A short 15 minute drive to Galena. Everything was clean and Hailey, the host, was quick to respond to any messages.

Wonderful fall reunion
A perfect home for a fall family reunion. We prepared most meals in the well-stocked kitchen and spent hours around the fireplace when we weren’t walking the trails around Eagle Ridge or exploring downtown Galena. Hailey couldn’t have been a nicer or more responsive host — we’ll stay here again!

Retreat in nature
Aspen house was very clean and inviting. The fireplace was the focus point of our weekend. The kitchen was well stocked and we enjoyed the coffee and tea bars. The cinnamon bread was a special touch! Beds were comfortable and the layout allowed us privacy. Nice safety features with plexiglass along the stairway and a gate to protect the top of the stairs. The musical instruments were neat and the kids bedroom adorable! We loved being able to see the trees through the high windows. The owners were responsive to communication. Overall, it was homey and comfortable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Quiet Stay in the Woods
The property was perfect for us since we enjoy quiet, wooded settings. The screened in porch made it easy to experience both and we even got to see some turkeys in the yard. The property itself was very comfortable with plenty of room for us to spread out. It was also very nice having trails close to the property so we could go for a quick walk before heading out for the day. We did not really take advantage of everything the Galena Territory had to offer but it is nice to have the Owners Club and other amenities available for use. Definitely enjoyed our stay!!
