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!

Everything about this property was perfect for us. I stayed here with my sister, two daughters and my niece. Perfect amount of space for all of us and cleanliness and aesthetic appeal was top-notch! Living room area was great for all of us to cuddle up and watch a nice fall movie. Couch was very comfortable. We also appreciated the games that were at the house ready for us to play. We played at the dining room table and the screened in porch as well, which is a nice addition to the property. The owners thought of every little detail. Extra hair ties when we needed them, even a nail file. I would absolutely stay here again. Hoping to come back next summer for a longer stay and to use more of the many amenities at the owners club. Great place.. a beautiful, quiet, home away from home.

Family Time

My family and I enjoyed staying in this well appointed cottage. I’m a clean freak, and was impressed by the inside of the place…it was clean and comfortable. I loved the crisp white bed sheets and fluffy pillows which made for some good sleeping. Will plan to stay again!

We took grandchildren to Galena for a couple of days for a getaway. We wanted a facility that our granddaughter and grandson could each have their own room. This rental was perfect for that every time I had a question I immediately heard back from Sarah. The place was clean and met our needs perfectly. The neighborhood was very nice and it was easy to check into. I would recommend this rental.

Very nice property and location. One issue was listing stated there was a grill; the grill was more like a small hibachi, which was dirty AND there was no propane to power it. I had no problem cleaning the grill to use it, but when we called the manager, we were told to go get our own fuel for the grill…not cool. We had brought some steaks to grill and it kind of ruined our dinner plans. If you don’t have a grill, just say so. I could have brought my own portable grill, but if youlist it, provide it.

Great Attention to Detail

The home was the most organized and best stocked rental we have stayed at. There was “extra” consumables, general OTC meds, and utensils.Nearly everything has either a small, easy to read label or instruction or a QR code that opens a video or manual. It is impressive how much thought was put into viewing the home from a guest’s perspective.The home’s cleanliness was very good. The corners and under beds were all clean, it was refreshing.

About the host

Host profile image
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.
