About this property

Ultimate Vacation Getaway - Family/Friends Cozy Retreat

  • Nestled on a secluded hillside that overlooks miles of Galena Territory's wildlife preserve, DunPuttin Place offers its guests total privacy, yet the convenience of being only minutes from the area's many popular amenities.

    A famous resort and its 4 nationally rated golf courses are just around the corner. The Shenandoah Riding Stable and over 40 miles of trails are equally convenient. The historic town of Galena is only 6 miles to the west, while the Diamond Jo casino and the Dubuque Dog Track and casino are only a little further down the road.

    DunPuttin Place is not just another carbon copy resort rental. It is a unique private home that has many features seldom found in vacation rentals, as you will see from the following partial list:

    - Four Bedrooms
    - Three Full Baths
    - Two King Suites with Private Bath
    - Four Queen Beds
    - One Queen Sleeper Sofa
    - One Full Sleeper Sofa
    - Central Heat & Air Conditioning
    - Wood Burning Fireplace
    - Fully Equipped Eat-in Kitchen seats 10
    - Microwave oven
    - Bar B Que Gas Grill
    - Two Spacious Decks
    - Large Screened Porch
    - Six Person Hot Tub with a Spectacular View
    - Cable
    - Stereo System with MP3
    - 55" Flat Screen HDTV
    - Four bedroom flat screen TV's
    - Four DVD & blueray players
    - Washer/Dryer
    - Its Own Game Arcade Featuring:
    Shuffleboard
    Dagz
    Electronic Darts
    Golf Arcade Game (Retro Golden Tee)
    Foosball Table
    Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man Arcade
    Hookey

    Imagine that you have returned from a full day of golf, tennis, boating, gambling, shopping, skiing or any of the activities that historic Galena has to offer. It's time to sink into the spa on the screened porch and enjoy a spectacular view of the unspoiled nature preserve that surrounds you. Watch the colors change as the sun moves over the horizon.

    Although the area features some of the most spectacular golf in the country, this is not just a Summer house. In Fall, the changing colors are an attraction in themselves, while in Winter, the Chestnut Mountain Ski Resort is only minutes away and...

    THE SPA IS KEPT HOT ALL YEAR!

    DunPuttin Place has been tastefully designed and decorated to comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests of all ages. However, pets are not allowed. There is no smoking, except on the outdoor deck areas.
