I booked this place for a last minute trip to Galena. The location and ammentinites were great. We got to go and walk on the trails in the morning. The property itself was beautiful as well. It was clean and well decorated. It was the perfect size as well for our family.

Galena Getaway with Mom

Property was warm and inviting. With 2 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms made for a great set up bringing mom for her 1st visit to Galena. Perfect, comfortable space to individually spend time or come together to watch a movie or visit in the evening after a great day in Galena.

Great Villa & dog friendly!

This villa was the perfect stay for our family and dogs! It was very clean and well kept. The decor was so cute and so many details were well thought out, from extra blankets to coffee to even a dog bed and toys. Great communication with the owners as well. The golf course community this is part of is beautiful and amenities such as the pool and gym were great. The location is close enough to the downtown part of Geneva, as well as trails and a dog park. We would recommend this villa to others and also return ourselves. Thank you for a lovely stay!

July 4th fun

Our stay at Dana’s Golf Villa was spectacular. On a busy holiday weekend, we found a haven of peace. The villa was spotless and very well stocked with all we needed for meal prep. Both king beds were comfortable and care was taken to add homey touches but no clutter. 2 couples had plenty of private space as well as areas to play games and spread out a puzzle. Access to walking trails and the nearby pool just made the weekend extra special. Dana was quickly responsive when we had need to reach out and offered an array of suggestion for local activities. We will book this villa again.
