About this property

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, roasting marshmallows, or star gazing. Plus enjoy the new Hot Tub installed March 2024!!

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.

Incredible Stay

10/10 loved the stay and property. We had an incredible time and would love to come back. Minor complaint is that the morning of our checkout while still enjoying our quiet morning at the property, a man came to mow the grass. Fully understand everyone has a job to do but we were given a reasonable expectation of privacy and it felt a little intrusive especially without a heads up. Also seems easier to complain about this when VRBO’s main commercial that runs is complaining about Nick Saban mowing and doing housework etc while the family is trying to relax and have an expectation of privacy.

Fall Galena Getaway

We loved the very peaceful setting in this area, so pretty. The deck was great for just sitting and enjoying the wonderful views . Also, we liked that we could let our dog out on deck with us to roam free with us blocking the steps with chairs. Beds were very comfortable and it was nice to have the downstairs for other family to have privacy. Sarah was very good at making sure everything was okay with our stay. We would love to come back again.

A wonderful stay and awesome neighborhood. The views are so beautiful. So many touches were appreciated from simple hand and dish soap to labeled drawers and cupboards. We wished we would have stayed longer. Galena is a beautiful, fun town!!

Galena rental with spectacular views

The house was clean and well furnished. Wonderful views of the hilly, wooded countryside with plenty of wildflowers and serenading songbirds. The only real issue was that due to the house being located on a hillside, all the stairs were steep which was a bit challenging for folks in their 70’s.
