About this property

Secluded retreat with great outdoor spaces, Tree-top Views, Hot tub

  • Situated on two acres of wooded privacy, this home is the perfect place to relax and unwind. As soon as you enter, you'll fall in love with this cozy home with fireplace and airy living space.

    The main level features a great room with open concept living, dining and kitchen. A great space for everyone to gather. With access to a screen porch and walk-out deck spaces, you'll love the views into the tree tops.

    The master suite, also located on the main level, hosts a king-sized bed and ensuite bathroom with jetted tub.

    The lower level has a second living/game room. Two additional bedrooms (both with queen beds, plus a twin in one) and a full bath round out the lower level. The sofa folds out for additional sleeping, if needed. Both bedrooms have access to a second screened porch so everyone can enjoy the outdoors. The lower deck walks out to a hot tub!

    Even though the lot is secluded, you're just minutes from all the great amenities of the Galena Territory, including indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, full gymnasium, game room, hiking trails, and a beautiful marina. It is a short drive (12 mins) to downtown Galena's shopping and dining opportunities.

    **Please note the driveway is steep. Be prepared in winter weather.

We loved our stay at this cozy home. Everything was perfect and the home was well stocked. Sarah was a wonderful and very attentive host! Our family loved the fireplace and relaxing in the hot tub and looking up at the stars at night. There was ample space for our family and the beds were very comfortable. All of the extra blankets were a plus too!

This home is in a wonderful location. Close enough to town for shopping, but secluded enough for privacy. The home was lovely and worked well for our group of 7. Of course, we filled the house! But even so it did not feel overly crowded... Would certainly stay there again! The woods are lovely, and the Hot Tub provided some nice relaxation. We had everything we needed for meal prep, showers, etc. Owner was responsive to messages and flexible on our arrival time, etc. Highly recommend!

Expectations were exceeded

We were in Galena for an overnight wedding and the place was absolutely fantastic. The location was only five minutes from the main Eagle Ridge facility. The home was very clean and the photos did not do it justice. The process for gathering information for checking in was extremely easy and the owner was super responsive. I would certainly stay here again.

Clean, comfortable, cute

Great place for 2 families with 4 adults and 4 older kids/teens. The house was so clean, beautifully decorated, and well-stocked for all you need. Lots of helpful info provided by owner. Nice to have the kitchen/living room upstairs and the den/entertainment space downstairs where the kids could hang out. We visited in the winter for skiing but I would love to return in summer/fall to use multiple outdoor decks! We've stayed in many Galena Territory homes and this was one of the best in terms fo space, layout, and cleanliness.

The house had absolutely everything we would need. All the little touches like a gate for our dog, towels for the hot tub area and shower tolietries. The house was perfectly appointed and really clean. My dog loved the indoor/outdoor feel with the screened in areas. Also, such a quiet and private location. I highly recommend this house and would stay here again!!
