About this property

Woodland Vista Retreat on Creekwood - Patio, Grill, Fireplace & Dog Friendly

Welcome to Woodland Vista Retreat– a cozy villa that is a 15 minute beautiful drive to Downtown Galena. Please note: this home is dog-friendly for an $150 additional fee.

Discounted Golf - Guests may purchase paper golf vouchers offering preferred rates and tee-time benefits at Eagle Ridge Resort’s The General, North Course and South Course. Vouchers must be purchased before your stay and mailed to you prior to arrival. Please contact us well in advance for details.

This split-level villa comfortably sleeps 4 in two Queen bedrooms, with extra space for up to 2 more guests thanks to two Queen sleeper sofas—one in the loft and one in the main living room.

Inside the Villa
• Upper Level: A private Queen bedroom with its own full bath, plus a loft area w/a Queen sleeper sofa. Perfect for relaxing or games!
• Main Level: A second Queen bedroom and another full bathroom provide comfort and privacy.
The living room is warm and cozy with a wood-burning fireplace, (we provide the firewood), smart TV, Bluetooth speaker for music, and a plethora of games and puzzles in the storage table.
The fully equipped kitchen opens to the dining and living areas, creating an easy, relaxing flow. Each bedroom also includes a smart TV with Netflix, Disney+, and more.

Outdoor Living
Step onto the back deck for seasonal views of the Eagle Ridge South Golf Course. Enjoy a morning coffee or late afternoon wine, grill dinner on the gas grill (propane provided), and unwind around the propane firepit under the stars.

As our guest, you’ll have access to the Galena Territory Owners’ Club, featuring indoor and seasonal outdoor pools, waterslides, a kiddie pool, fitness and game rooms, basketball and tennis courts, playground, WiFi, and more. You can also enjoy Lake Galena, the Shenandoah Riding Center, and miles of hiking trails throughout the Territory. Good to know: The home may not have enough amenity cards for your entire group. Additional passes are available for $5 per day. Amenities may have additional fees, seasonal hours, or occasional closures, and availability is not guaranteed.

The condo was immaculately cleaned. We enjoyed having a fire in the fireplace. It was a very pretty wooded area. The toilets are very low. As senior citizens, we prefer taller toilets. We were disappointed that the pool was so far away.

Perfect for a girls getaway weekend

Myself and 5 friends stayed here for a girls weekend and had a wonderful time. The unit was very clean and as described in the listing. Galena is just a short drive so we spent a good amount of time there eating and shopping. We would stay at this location again in a heartbeat.

Clean and convenient!

Great place as advertised. The turn into the area from the main road was a little precarious, especially at night, so just be careful!
