About this property

Stunning views, amazing gathering spaces, hot tub

Bring your family or friends to enjoy this lovely retreat in the Galena Territory. Step out to the deck to enjoy the stunning view of the Driftless Region any season whether dining, relaxing in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows, or star gazing.

Lower level (entry level) houses 2 bedrooms and a full bathroom, along with laundry facilities. The larger bedroom has both a queen bed and a sleeper sofa.

The upper level features open concept living, dining and kitchen spaces plus a third bedroom and full bathroom. Relax around the fireplace and just hang out together.

The kids will love the loft for playing games and hanging out. The loft also houses a futon for an additional sleeping option. What kid wouldn't want to sleep in the "tree house?"

Please note: we're situated on a hill side, set into a bluff. That means stunning views but it also means LOTS of steps!

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.

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

Of course, as guests of the Galena Territory, you have access to all of the amenities including indoor and outdoor pools, world-class golf courses, Lake Galena for boating and fishing, and horseback riding. Historic downtown Galena is just 10 minutes away.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Everything was wonderful and so easy from start to finish. The home was incredibly well stocked — honestly one of the best-equipped Vrbo's we’ve stayed in.Having morning coffee on the front deck was absolutely beautiful. We had a great stay and would definitely recommend it to others.

We had a lovely stay over Easter weekend. The house was spotless and comfortable. We enjoyed the view of the valley, the proximity to the Owner’s Club for swimming, and the hot tub. Our dog and kids enjoyed exploring the yard and seeing wild turkeys and deer in the woods. Would definitely stay again.

The home was perfect for a family getaway! We appreciated the well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Overall ample space to relax and lots of cozy blankets. The hot tub was as expected. Great communication and information on all the house gadgets. Access owners club and activities was a perk when the weather was cooler/between seasons for nearby activities. Thank you for the hospitality!

The property was so well equipped for our stay. Owner was very helpful in reaching out to answer questions and offer suggestions for our stay. We were close to downtown Galena to go out to dinner, ski at Chestnut Mountain, enjoyed the owners club pool and the hot tub was a nice bonus at the house. Lots of supplies like towels, cooking and bedding provided. We could not have enjoyed our stay more and would definitely stay again!
