Just rehabbed, amazing views on 300 acre ranch, animals, trails, hottub, pond

Brand new. Nothing like it. Five bedrooms (including large bunk room that sleeps 7) FIVE BATHS! Stay at the Brixen Ivy Ranch and enjoy all of our amenities as well as Galena territory owners club. Great floor plan with large great room, amazing views of rolling hills. Giant game room with pool table, table tennis, pop a shot, bunk room for 6, in addition to four more large bedrooms. Fire pit, hike the Shark trail or others on the 300 acre ranch. Access to ball field, llamas, peacocks. Great family escape with lots of fresh air and room to "social distance" :). Large HOTTUB on Large patio deck and screened in porch with outdoor television.

Golf trip stay
Our golf friend group organized a stay at this house and played golf around the Galena area. The golf was great and the house was even better! Lots of space for sleep, yard games, grilling, and hanging out. The host was very helpful with golf and made the check in process easy. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Great for larger groups
Perfect house for our girls trip. Plenty of room to spread out and everyone had a bed. If you enjoy a country setting, this is the place for you. The owner does meet you there at check in which is not something I am accustomed to having stayed in many rental properties, but they are very nice and helpful. Would stay here again.

Incredible house on incredible property!
This was the second time we have been on this property, and it’s hard to decide what’s better - this house, or being on the ranch. Our kids brought their teenage friends, and they never ran lot of things to do - wiffle ball, soccer, visiting animals, hiking around the ponds, volleyball - and of course the basement game room is beyond belief with ping pong, pool and pop a shot. The great fire pit, hot tub and gigantic deck top it all off. Joe the ranch hand was yet again a wonderful guide - we hope to come back and stay again!!

So many great features on this property you never would even have to go anywhere else! Disc golf, 9 hole golf, soccer field, full size baseball diamond, fishing pond, animals, the list goes on. The house had beautiful views, plenty of space, awesome game room and a hot tub. Easy communication with the owner. Would definitely recommend this property.

Amazing fun for a group!
We have gone to this property, staying at different houses, several times now. It’s quickly become a family favorite thanks to the gorgeous views and abundance of stuff to do at the property itself. We had a few friends and their kids join this time and had the best time! Everyone enjoyed walking the trails, seeing the animals, making s’mores over a fire, playing volleyball, playing cowboy golf and again, those views!! The house is perfect with the game room for the kids too, and the hot tub for the adults to hangout! Highly recommend!! It’s a short drive to downtown Galena too, so easy to explore and grab ice cream if you do want to leave and do something. (Tons more to do in the area too, we are always just so busy and happy at the ranch we don’t leave for much, which is perfect for us with the young kid chaos we have 😉)

Spacious, clean and comfortable
The house was clean and comfortable, with terrific views. We had 2 families of 4, but there were a lot beds and we could have had at least one other family comfortably. The game room has ping pong, billiards and a pop a shot. The hot tub was great apres ski! The owners were kind and helpful. Very positive experience. Thank you!

Dated Property
The property has a beautiful location, but it doesn't seem like this property is being maintained very well. It was pretty rustic and lacked some of things I have some to expect in rentals (shampoo, conditioner, soap, towels, information booklet, etc). Also the coffee pot wasn't working (though they replaced in on the second day), the WIFI was a hot spot that wasn't turned on when we arrived (with no instructions on how to do so), etc. Probably the most disappointing part was the gross hot tub that was very cloudy and we didn't feel good about getting in. It was the reason we picked this place. They couldn't get it fixed in time for us to use it.
