Perched on the 11th fairway of Eagle Ridge South, Vista View delivers some of the most coveted golf course frontage in The Galena Territory — panoramic views from the hot tub, screened porch, kitchen, and main living room.

Vista View is a 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom, sleeps-8 home in The Galena Territory, Galena, Illinois — situated directly on the 11th fairway of the Eagle Ridge South Golf Course.

When you book Vista View through The Collection, you get direct access to our local team, no platform fees, and loyalty benefits for returning guests.

🛏 Sleep & Relax

Three ensuite bedrooms, all with king beds — ideal for couples or multi-family groups who want their own space without sacrificing togetherness. The main-level bedroom (no interior stairs required) has a king bed and private ensuite bath. The lower-level bedroom has a king and a queen bed with its own ensuite bath. The upstairs bedroom features a king bed and ensuite bath. Total: 3 kings + 1 queen, 4 beds, sleeps 8.

The floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living room — one of Vista View's signature features, and a natural gathering spot for cool Galena evenings.

Step outside to the hot tub overlooking the 11th hole — a standout feature of the property and perfect for stargazing in the Galena Territory's Certified Dark Sky Community (no streetlights means one of the darkest, most star-filled skies in northern Illinois).

Vista View is dog-friendly. We welcome hypoallergenic and non-shedding breeds only (max 2 dogs). A $150 pet fee applies per stay — please include your dog's breed in your booking request.

🍽 Eat, Play & Gather

The fully stocked kitchen has everything you need for quick meals or full holiday feasts. The open kitchen/dining/living layout makes it easy to stay connected while cooking. Dining area seats the full group comfortably.

Outside: fire up the Weber grill, pour yourself a drink, and settle in at the patio table or screened porch to watch golfers play through. The fire pit out back is ideal for s'mores and late-night conversation under the Galena sky.
