We had a lovely weekend stay at the resort, celebrating some birthdays with friends. The spacious villa we booked was perfect for our group, complete with a full kitchen and various decks. The shuttle service to town made dining out stress-free, and the overall experience left us with great memories. However, there were some issues with room cleanliness and a lack of assistance when requested, which definitely impacted our stay.

The villa was spacious and equipped with everything we needed for our stay, but there was a musty odor that was hard to ignore.

My stay at Eagle Ridge was filled with mixed feelings. The beautiful surroundings and comfortable accommodations are major pluses, especially for family gatherings. However, I faced several issues with maintenance that dampened my experience. For the price we paid, I expected everything to be in top shape, and that was not the case.

Rooms
6.0
The four-bedroom home we rented was spacious and comfortable, but we encountered some issues. Many appliances were not functioning properly, including the dishwasher, which meant extra hand washing. Moreover, I was disappointed that we had a view of the pool roof and garbage bins instead of the advertised beautiful lake view.
Service

While some aspects of service were attentive, the maintenance team needed to improve their response time-especially since we experienced issues with the TVs, which took longer than expected to fix.

Eagle Ridge Resort is a beautiful spot, especially for nature lovers and golf enthusiasts. The grounds are lovely and well-kept, providing a peaceful atmosphere. The dining experiences were generally enjoyable, but my recent stay in a specific rental unit was disappointing due to cleanliness issues and dated furnishings. Overall, it offers great activities and scenic views but be cautious when selecting accommodations.

Eagle Ridge is a beautiful resort with lovely scenic views and a wide array of family-friendly activities. The indoor pool was a big hit with my kids, and we really enjoyed our spa day. However, the accommodations had some issues, including malfunctioning appliances and inconsistent service. While the staff was kind, the overall value for the price we paid left much to be desired.

The resort's location close to downtown Galena made it easy to explore the area, but the nightlife seemed to shut down early, which could be isolating.

Our stay was marked by stunning grounds and excellent spa services, which truly made our experience memorable. The villa we stayed in was spacious, perfect for our family gathering, but we did encounter some issues with the service, particularly with housekeeping not consistently attending to our room. While the amenities provided plenty of activities, the area's overall vibe after hours felt quite dead, limiting our options for evening entertainment.

The villa was spacious and comfortable, ideal for accommodating our large family. However, it felt a bit dated in some areas.
