About this property
DARTS>> Outdoor Hot Tub, Screened Porch, Fireplace, Dog Friendly!
Our Golfside Haven house is approximately 8 miles or 13 minutes to Downtown Galena and just 3.5 miles to the GTA Owners Club (pools, tennis courts, fitness center). This dog-friendly home has a $150 pet fee (not a deposit).
*Golf Benefits: Guests have access to our Eagle Ridge Golf Membership with preferred rates and tee times at The General, The North Course and the South Course! Contact us for details.
Welcome to Golfside Haven, your cozy Galena escape with a private outdoor hot tub! This four-bedroom, four-bath home has everything you need for a relaxing getaway—two spacious family rooms with flat-screen TVs, complimentary WiFi, darts, and a crackling wood-burning fireplace with firewood ready for you. The main floor offers an open kitchen, dining, and living space that flows to a screened porch and deck with a gas grill. Sleep easy in the king primary suite with en suite bath, or the nearby queen bedroom with en suite bath. Downstairs, you’ll find two more en suite bedrooms (king and queen) plus another family room that walks out to the oversized deck and private hot tub. Tucked away on over an acre with wooded views and seasonal glimpses of Eagle Ridge’s General Golf Course, Golfside Haven is the perfect blend of comfort, space, and nature.
Guests staying with us have access to the Galena Territory Owners’ Club, an exclusive amenity available only to Galena Territory property owners and their guests. The club features an indoor pool (open year-round) and an outdoor pool (open Memorial Day–Labor Day), along with waterslides, a kiddie pool, fitness room, game room, indoor and outdoor basketball courts, tennis courts, a seasonal snack bar, free Wi-Fi, and an outdoor playground. While visiting, be sure to explore Lake Galena, the Shenandoah Riding Center, and the extensive hiking trails across the 6,800-acre Galena Territory. Important: You may not receive enough amenity cards for your entire group. Additional guest passes can be purchased for $5 per day at the GTA administrative office or pool entrance. Staying with us provides access eligibility, but amenities may require a fee and availability is not guaranteed. We do not offer discounts or refunds if amenities are closed or unavailable.
A 30% payment is required at the time of booking (this is a payment, not a deposit). The remaining balance is due 14 days prior to check-in. At that point, the reservation becomes non-refundable and dates cannot be changed. Payments will be automatically charged to the card on file, and all due dates and amounts will be outlined in your rental agreement. After booking, you will receive an electronic rental agreement that must be signed within 48 hours to secure your reservation. The primary guest must be at least 25 years old and present for the entire stay. Our cancellation policy is not flexible, so we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance. Travel insurance is available at booking and up to 15 days before check-in through CSA.
Check-in details will be emailed to the address on file three days before arrival. This email will include the home address, access code, and important property and area information.Early check-in is not guaranteed and can only be requested the night before or the morning of arrival. During peak season, early check-in is typically not available. Instructions for requesting early check-in will be included in your check-in email.
