You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Perfect Getaway - private, updated home in The Galena Territory

The moment you walk into this updated home, you'll begin to breath easier. With 3 bedrooms and great gathering spaces, your whole group will enjoy your time together. Great for families, couples or girl's getaways.

The Master suite (lower/living level) has a king-sized bed and ensuite with huge walk-in shower and double vanity. The upper level (entrance level) features 2 additional bedrooms and a second bathroom with a large jetted tub.

The open concept living/dining/kitchen area on the lower level allows for easy conversations and hanging out. Enjoy a meal on the screen porch in the summer or the warmth of a crackling fire in the winter.

You'll likely see wild turkey and deer cross the lawn. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of "Glenn the Galena Groundhog" who lives under the deck. On clear nights, you can see the entire Milky Way.

Relax with our easy check in and check out process - no long list of things to do before leaving.

We are pet friendly with a $50 pet fee for additional cleaning often needed when furry friends come along. Please be sure to add pets to your reservation and the fee will be added.

As guests of The Galena Territory, you have access to indoor and outdoor pools, world class golf, game room, basketball/pickleball courts, hiking trails, horse riding and of course Lake Galena for fishing and boating.

It's an easy drive (15 min) to charming downtown Galena shops and restaurants and Chestnut Mountain ski area.

Galena offers a balance of quiet relaxation with plenty to do!

Perfect for Weekend Getaways
This was the perfect house for our family weekend getaway. From the start we felt right at home. The house itself was spacious yet cozy, very clean, and well-equipped. It had everything we needed from the comfortable bedrooms to the fully stocked kitchen, and a cozy living area with fireplace that made for a perfect movie night.The neighborhood was perfect for our morning walk and the area was just right for star-gazing. The host was also very responsive and helpful, providing us with all the info we needed before our stay. I would highly recommend this beautiful home.

Better than the pictures!
A group of 5 came to visit Galena, and this house fit us perfectly. It was only a one night stay, but this house was so comfortable and cozy, which is exactly what we were hoping for. The neighborhood was quaint and quiet, and we enjoyed seeing the wildlife in the timber out back. This house is gorgeous, the pictures don't do it justice. Highly recommend.

We did our annual girls weekend here and was absolutely so peaceful and beautiful! We went to Galena for a little bit, but spent most of our time at the house. They had everything there for us even the games. At night, the sky was beautiful all you could see were the stars! And it’s very spacious. I would recommend this place to anyone. I will definitely be back 🤗

Beautiful home, great time
This home was so well maintained. I love the little things like having everything labeled and instructions for the heating and cooling system. We also appreciated the quality of the kitchen/cooking tools (pots/pans etc.) and the mattress. This house lacked absolutely nothing! The owner kept great contact with us. We really enjoyed this home.
