Great Escape
The place sat on a beautiful country acreage and was perfect for a guy's getaway weekend. Between the activities on site and the game shed, there was never a dull moment.

New Years Eve weekend away
A group of 4 families thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The property has pleanty of room for everyone to spread out. The art studio was a perfect extra space for our teenagers to hang out while the adults spent time in the main house. The hot tub was a great added bonus, as well as access to the Galena Area Owners Club with its indoor pool and gym. The scenery was gorgeous! The house was very well kept and extremely clean.

Fun Friend Reunion
Mark made sure he had a good combination to suit our large group of 14. We had an amazing weekend on the property, including a little UTV tour of the land where we got to see the various animals! Having the studio as a dedicated area to hang out with AC was a big bonus. Everyone had a comfy bed and the kitchen was perfect for big family-style meals. One day in and we were already planning to come back. Thanks for the hospitality and sharing your space with us!

Great family get-away
Our family (ages 2 through 60) had a great time. There were twelve of us total, and there were more than enough bedrooms, plenty of space, amazing views, peace & quiet, and A LOT to do on the ranch - even more than we expected. Having the second building for games was a bonus. The grandkids LOVED the animals - had to walk down to see them multiple times a day! I'm not sure what they liked more, the animals, or talking to Joe! Great communication, very friendly and helpful - Mark got us tee-times at Eagle Ridge. We made use of the passes to the owner's club for swimming, tennis, and the exercise room. This location made our stay in Galena memorable and relaxing. Thanks so much for hosting us!

Best view in Illinois
The house itself was even better in person than in the pictures. What I did not anticipate was the absolutely gorgeous view of the ranch that could be seen from the back of the house. You could not have found a more scenic view of rural Illinois. A great space to host events for friends and family. You won’t want to leave the property!😍

Great weekend getaway!
We loved our stay at the Caspian house! It's perfect for large parties. We were a family of 7 adults and 4 young kids. Stunning views, the studio was the perfect place for the kids to burn some energy, & the house is setup perfectly to spend some quality time with family. Thank you Mark & Joe!

Gorgeous property
We stayed in two buildings on the ranch, and they were outstanding. So many amenities, beautiful setting, close together for ease of a big group to congregate. Overall, we were thrilled with the experience. Thanks to the host and ranch hand!

Nice place, disappointingly managed
Usually within the week of check-in information is given to the renter, none was provided. The only reason I knew what to do upon arrival was by messaging the owners who at that point gave me the phone number of the ranch hand, Joe, that would meet us and I needed to coordinate check-in time with. N ot sure how I was supposed to find that number... Additionally there is no information packet that's usually a staple for VRBOs to have something for the renter to reference. Several rooms of the house we were not allowed in due to construction or being just told not to go in there. One of these banned rooms was the pantry with extra garbage bags, paper towels, soap, coffee, etc. I've never had to come with my own supplies like this to a VRBO before, which would not be a problem if there is any type of warning and we would have a chance to shop for these items beforehand, which wasn't the case, we were made aware of this by Joe at check-in. The pool was a main reason for us picking this location which also turned out to be a hassle. There were no passes to the pool provided at the property, or any information given on how to get into the club with the pool. Initially asking Joe led to a 2 hour wild goose chase of calling various people to be able to get 3 people from our group to be allowed to go to the pool, what a mess... Overall the property was nice, the art room was a big draw for a large group of 10 to be able to hangout within driving distance to downtown Galena. Poorly managed property lacking a lot of important information that should be made known to the guests prior to arrival. I did see other reviews that raved about the kindness of management, but in my experience there was unfriendly management that treated us like a nuisance after our initial questions prior to booking.

Golf Trip
We had a large group of guys playing golf for the weekend. Caspian house had enough beds to accommodate. The separate building was a great addition for the full group to comfortably gather. The property is beautiful, cool little 9-hole golf course on property. The ranch hand Joe couldn’t have been nicer. There are more homes on the property available as well. Overall great experience and would stay here again!
