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 receive preferred rates and tee-time access at Eagle Ridge Resort’s General, North and South Courses through our golf membership. Vouchers must be purchased in advance and mailed to you before arrival. Please contact us for details.

Welcome to Golfside Haven, a cozy Galena getaway made for relaxing, reconnecting, and enjoying a little time away! Tucked into a peaceful wooded setting on over an acre, this spacious 4-bedroom, 4-bath home has plenty of room for everyone to spread out and get comfortable. The main level is the heart of the home, with an open kitchen, dining, and living area perfect for cooking together, playing games, or curling up by the wood-burning fireplace. Firewood is ready for you, so settle in and enjoy! Step outside to the screened porch or deck, fire up the gas grill, and take in the quiet wooded surroundings and seasonal glimpses of Eagle Ridge’s General Golf Course. When it’s time to unwind, head downstairs to the second family room for a movie or game of darts, or step right outside to the oversized deck and private outdoor hot tub—always a favorite after a day exploring Galena! Everyone gets a little privacy here, too. The main level has a king primary suite and a queen bedroom, both with full baths. Downstairs you'll find another king and queen bedroom, each with its own bath. With two comfortable family rooms, flat-screen TVs, complimentary WiFi, a cozy fireplace, screened porch, wooded views, and your own hot tub, Golfside Haven makes it easy to settle in and enjoy your Galena getaway. A few helpful details: There is a short walk from the driveway to the front door with just two steps up and into the home. The driveway can accommodate up to four vehicles.

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.

Important Booking Information: A 30% payment is due at booking, with the remaining balance automatically charged 14 days before arrival. At that time, the reservation becomes non-refundable and dates cannot be changed. A rental agreement will be emailed after booking and must be signed within 48 hours. The primary guest must be 25 or older and present for the entire stay. Because our cancellation policy is firm, we strongly recommend travel insurance, available through CSA at booking or up to 15 days before arrival. All payment amounts and due dates will be clearly outlined in your rental agreement.

Nice Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family used this home as an extra place for sleeping. We didn’t spend much time there at all during the day, as we hung out at our bigger rental house, but it was great for extra bedrooms (with en-suites) for guests to retreat to at night for some quiet sleep. The home was clean and on a beautiful wooded lot. We wouldn’t hesitate to book this again if we had a smaller group or needed extra space.

Great location for winter stay

Plenty of room and nice warm options for our ski trip with fireplace and hot tub. Loved the number of bathrooms for each room and it would be a great option for couples traveling together! The kitchen table has loose leafs which needs repair, but had a lovely stay.

Perfect additional space for family

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I rented this home because it was across the street from my home and I needed extra space to house my adult grandchildren during a family event. The house was perfect, but it would have been nice to also have a hide-a=bed, but that was a small problem.
