Relax, Recharge, and Explore in Galena Territory

Welcome to your perfect getaway in the heart of the scenic Galena Territory—where relaxation meets recreation. This beautifully furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat offers the ideal blend of comfort, privacy, and access to world-class amenities, making it a favorite for families, couples, and adventure seekers alike.

Step inside and experience the inviting warmth of vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and an open-concept layout that connects the living room, dining room, and fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a farm sink, soft-close drawers, a pantry, and both drip and Keurig coffee makers—ideal for casual breakfasts or evening gatherings.

The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful sanctuary with a smart TV and easy access to the main living spaces. Enjoy stunning sunsets and serene forest views from the expansive back porch, or unwind in the vaulted-ceiling 3-season room with a comfortable couch, dining table, and TV.

Downstairs, the fully exposed lower level includes two additional bedrooms, a second living area with a smart TV, a sofa sleeper, laundry room, and direct access to a second covered porch. It’s the perfect space for kids, extended family, or friends traveling together.

The fun continues in the detached 2-car garage, converted into a recreation space complete with a second fridge, ping pong table, foosball, and plenty of games.

Galena Territory Amenities
As guests, you’ll have access to the Owners Club, which features year-round enjoyment with indoor and outdoor pools, basketball courts, tennis courts, pickleball, and a fully equipped game room with pool tables, ping pong, cornhole, and more.

Explore the nearby Lake Galena with pontoon, kayak, and paddleboard rentals—or bring the kids to the lakeside playground. For equestrian lovers, the Shenandoah Riding Center offers horseback riding trails and experiences for all ages.

Golfers will appreciate four nearby championship golf courses, and for winter or summer thrills, Chestnut Mountain Resort is just 25 minutes away with skiing, alpine slides, and river cruises.

Just 15 minutes from the home, historic downtown Galena awaits with charming boutiques, local wineries, cozy cafes, and walking tours rich in 19th-century architecture. Or take a day trip to downtown Dubuque—just 30 minutes away—for casino entertainment, museums, and panoramic views of the Mississippi River.
