GALENA, Ill., Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- With nearby vacation homes booked solid, Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa in Galena, Illinois, has just re-opened with more than 200 villas and homes from one to eight bedrooms, ideal for couples, families or small groups to take in a beautiful change of scenery without getting on a plane or sacrificing safety or open space. The resort is located in Northwest Illinois on more than 6,800 acres in the magnificent Galena Territory, which is a short drive from most Midwest cities including Chicago, Ill, Dubuque, Iowa, and Madison, Wis.

"We're the original 'socially distant' vacation destination," said Colin Sanderson, director of sales and marketing. "Guests of Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa have miles of nature to hike, bike, golf, fish, zip line, kayak, canoe, horseback ride, and even take a hot air balloon ride. They can order in pizza or anything from our restaurants, and enjoy the great outdoors without worrying about coming into contact with others."

In addition to the private homes, Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa guests can also stay in the Inn, as well as enjoy a wide variety of open-air dining options. The just-completed Highlands Restaurant and Lounge 289 are both open seven days a week and feature a cantilevered deck that seats 45. Overlooking the 10th fairway and the 18th green of the premier General golf course, the deck also offers panoramic views of The Galena Territory.
