The Drey: A Private Retreat in the Treetop Canopy

Welcome to Spring at The Drey – A Private Forest Escape in Galena Territory

Wake up to the sound of birdsong and a cup of coffee high among the treetops. From woodpeckers and wild turkeys to eagles, deer, fox, and even the occasional bobcat—nature lovers and sustainability-focused friends, this is your front-row seat to the wild side of Galena.

The Space

Tucked away on a quiet wooded ridge, The Drey is a freshly decorated and sparkling-clean getaway designed for comfort and connection with nature. This cozy home accommodates up to 4 adults plus 2 children with:

-2 private queen bedrooms with new mattresses

-2 full bathrooms with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash

-A fun loft with bunk beds (ideal for kids 4+)

Modern comforts meet contemporary charm—enjoy strong fiber optic Wi-Fi (1 gig!), two workspaces, and streaming-ready TVs with Roku guest mode.
Guest access
Pin pad at door.

Motion detector lights will help you navigate from the parking to the door.

There are about 8 steps to access the entry. Parking is on a fairly level asphalt driveway, but the driveway is sloped to the parking area.

You will have the entire house other than the locked owners closet in the hallway and the basement.

You'll have four access passes to use the Owners Club.
