About this property
Perfect Getaway - Cozy Cottage 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!

About the host
Hosted by Sarah Jackson

Hi! We're Sarah and Mike Jackson. We fell in LOVE with Galena many years ago and have dreamed of having our own place here for a long time. We're excited for you to experience Galena yourself!
Why they chose this property
We love this house for it's cozy ease.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy the wildlife. Turkey and deer often cross the yard and you might catch a glimpse of "Glenn the groundhog" who lives under the deck. He loves to munch on the apples that fall from the tree in the back yard.
