Amazing 6BR! Whiskey Room, Pool Table, Fireplaces & Hot Tub – Fall Fun!

The GTA Owners Club is just 4 minutes away, and Downtown Galena is only 15 minutes away. This home is NOT pet-friendly.

**Enjoy Golf Benefits** Guests of this home have access to our Golf Membership at Eagle Ridge, which provides preferred rates and tee times at The General, The North Course, and the South Course! Contact us for details.

Our Grand Galena Retreat is 4500 sq ft of amazing space for your friends & family to enjoy! When you arrive, you'll have access to the garage and space to park another 3-5 cars in the driveway. Enter our home and be prepared to experience the getaway you've been wanting. The open-concept main floor features an airy family and dining room with a spectacular deck view (outdoor seating & gas grill) and beyond. Gather around the woodburning fireplace or kick back and watch the game on our large flat-screen TV. Our dining room will easily host your holiday gathering, seating 10 at our table & 4 at the counter. There is additional seating in the kitchen for another 4, a great place for the kids or an extra spot for prep. Our stainless appliances will make cooking a breeze in the fully stocked kitchen. Great extra space for the adults in your group who will love our Whiskey Room. Sit back and reminisce about the day, watch TV, or play shuffleboard in a space just for you. Our primary bedroom is also on the main level with a large jetted tub, walk-in shower, and double sinks. Next, head upstairs to our upstairs bonus room, which offers comfortable seating and a TV and is open to below to be "close enough" to the group, but enjoy your special spot. Down the hall is an ensuite bedroom with a queen size bed, right across the hall is another ensuite bedroom w/2 Queen beds. Our lower level will excite the pool and poker players in your group! The game room also has an arcade, karaoke, fireplace & access to the outdoor deck w/hot tub. There are 3 additional bedrooms and w/attached baths on the lower level. Two have King size beds and the last has a Queen. We provide the most comfortable linens and bedding with extra pillows & blankets for maximum relaxation. Don't forget the firepit w/seating for 10 in our spacious backyard! Please note there is a 4-night minimum from June - August.

You will have access to the GTA Owners Club while staying with us. The indoor pool is open year-round, and the outdoor pool is open from Memorial Day - Labor Day. The club is an exclusive amenity that can only be used by Galena Territory property owners and their guests.

Great place for a big family!

Every year we get a big house for our family to hang out. Had a blast! Plenty of room for games and the hot tub was great! Loved that the bedrooms were far enough away that the kids could go to bed and adults could still stay up and chat without bothering them! Access to the owners club for the pool was great too!

Girls trip

A group of 8 moms had a mothers day weekend away. We enjoyed downtown galena, and relaxed in the hot tub! We took a shuttle service so we didn’t have to worry about driving & did a wine tour which was great!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed our short stay. A few minor issues: 3 coffee pots would not work; tv in the master bedroom and game room did not work; outdoor grill was not clean so did not use. Major issue: many nails poking through the deck. Not safe to walk on with bare feet. My daughter stepped on one and caused pain to her heal.

It was clean, a little worn but clean. One bathroom downstairs kept plugging & needed plunger. There were a few bugs but nothing out of control. We couldn’t get cable on the tv in the game room/library which was annoying. Otherwise it is a House we would go back to. Fit our needs perfectly. Thank you.

Disliked: Cleanliness

We had fun but cleanliness not good.

Let me start off by saying we had a blast! There was a total of 12 of us and PLENTY of room! They have lots of games for both children and adults. BEAUTIFUL views. However they cleanliness of the house was subpar. All the light fixtures were FULL of dead bugs. The ceiling fans were covered in dust. The cupboards and drawer fronts were filthy. The master bathroom's shower had mold all over in the grout. Cobwebs all over, in corners, light fixtures in bathrooms, and windows. The light switches were covered in food/ dirt. You are allowed 2 trash cans for garbage without having to take it to the dumpster however the cans were not emptied from the last guests.

Lovely house with responsive host

Overall the home was great. The bedrooms, mattresses, and bedding were wonderful. We loved the ceiling fans and open concept. The whole family enjoyed the pool table, arcade game, shuffleboard, and a few the hot tub! The couches and chairs were all very nice and comfortable. Additionally, having access to garage and the 2nd refrigerator was awesome and should be listed as an asset! The number of bathrooms was ideal, but the toilets all still had blue cleaner in them when we arrived. Additionally there was a shortage of towels both per bathroom and to travel to the pool with. There were very few washcloths for the bathrooms or the kitchen. The kitchen was not as well stocked as we had hoped, but we have fairly high expectations. We are a large multi-generational family that cooks at least 2 meals daily. The grill should be upgraded as it struggles to cook evenly due to some "repairs." This caused some adjustments to our menu that were not ideal. The pool and rec center were lovely, but the guests before us didn't return all the passes so we were 3 short the entire week. $5/day per person. PS- We did see wild turkeys walking through the yard early one morning, which was very cool:)

Way more highs than lows :-)

We did an extended family vacation. In laws, my family of 4, and my husband’s brother’s family of 6. 12 total with 6 kids ranging in age from 10 to 17. While we are sharing criticism for future guests and/or management, we all agreed it was still a five star rental overall! 1) Basic amenities offered at hotels should be provided. Travel size shampoo, conditioner and body wash was not provided in any of our bathrooms. Additionally, an ice maker would have been lovely. 2) While we did reach out ahead of time to schedule golf, there seems to be an extended process for getting the “preferred rates”. We did not give them enough time to regular mail vouches to our home prior to the trip. This was how the golf shop told us it worked? It’s 2025, how is this convenient for anyone? 3) The location of “The Territories” is not very convenient if you plan to spend most of your time downtown. Half our group commented the location was inconvenient while the other half thoroughly enjoyed the countryside and solitude. So if shopping and dining out is your priority, know there will be a 10-15 minute drive each way.Aside from that, we all enjoyed our stay in Galena and at this property. The fitness center, pool, basketball court, hot tub, pool table, karaoke machine, poker table, golf course, walking paths, fire pit & darts were all enjoyed during our short 4-night stay. We found the beds comfortable, the en suite bathrooms spacious, and the living areas cozy. Hoping to return soon! :-)

Everything we needed

We brought our staff here to getaway and have annual planning sessions. The en-suite bedrooms worked really well for privacy while the common spaces allowed our team to still feel connected. With the wide array of built in activities and the wonderfully furnished kitchen we had little need to leave the property. Will definitely plan to stay again.
