About this property

Lighted Hot Tub w/ 4 BD/2.5 Baths and VERY close to town.

Unwind a mile outside of Galena at this lovely house and wooded property. With 4 bedrooms, including 1 king bed, 2 queen beds, 2 bunk beds each with a double mattress on the bottom and a twin on top, this property is perfect for families or groups of friends. The house features 3 bathrooms: 2 are full with a shower in each and the other is a half bathroom. You'll find all the essentials like AC/heating, WiFi, laundry facilities, a full kitchen stocked with dishes and appliances. To enjoy nice weather and sit among nature, there is a deck or a patio of your choice. There is also a charcoal grill available as well as a fire pit in the yard and a hot tub on the lower patio. After a day enjoying the amenities that Galena offers (shopping, restaurants, wineries, bars, kayaking, etc.), you'll only have a couple minutes of driving to get to the house to relax and unwind. For indoor entertainment, there is an 86" television upstairs and a pool table, foosball table and a smaller television in the basement.

You'll drive up a gravel driveway surrounded by trees and may even see some deer and other wildlife on your way up to the house. When you get up to the property, you'll feel peacefully secluded as you'll be surrounded with a yard, fields (may see/hear sheep) and trees.

This is a great property to get away from town but still be close enough that you won't feel isolated.

Great stay!

This house was perfect for our family get-a-way. Due to hot temps and thunderstorms we spent more time at the house than anticipated. It was great! We loved the hot tub, pool table, and the huge tv. The property is secluded, quiet and beautiful. My kids loved the neighboring sheep, they were pretty entertaining. The house was very clean and the beds were comfortable. It’s a quick easy drive into downtown Galena. We all want to come back!

Quick weekend getaway

My wife and I booked this place with two other couples for a weekend friends getaway. We had a blast! We actually all agreed our favorite part of our two day trip to Galena was the first night where all we did was stay in and play games, hang in the extra large hot tub and enjoy each others company. There was a good snow storm and it added to the wonderful experience and ambiance. One of our friends even said "this was by far the best VRBO I've ever been in" and we agree. It was beautiful, clean, well maintained, and the host kept great communication. We would book this place again in a heartbeat.

Our stay was amazing! The pictures do not do it justice! It’s an absolutely beautiful property! We had a group of 8 and we were all very comfortable our entire stay! Extremely comfortable beds! Absolutely beautiful wood work throughout the entire house! Lots of room! Hot tub worked great! Lots of outdoor spaces and seating areas if you need a break away from your group! We did wish the fire spot was a little closer to the house but it’s big enough for everyone and surrounded by beautiful scenery to enjoy along with very happy talkative sheep right next to you! Very peaceful little spot! Perfect getaway for a group of girls who love the wilderness! It’s also very close to town and a beautiful kayaking spot! 10 out of 10 definitely recommend and we hope to be backsoon on our next girls trip to Galena! Pictures definitely didn’t do this one justice! We were completely shocked how amazing it was once we arrived!

This location is close to town, but of the beaten path. Lots of open communal space and things to do, even off its just a stroll around the property (they have sheep, turkeys, and other friends as well)! Be sure to be home by dusk, as the picture window (and back patio with hot tub) have a beautiful sunset view!

Amazing hospitality

This home is the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, privacy, nature and modern amenities. Not to mention the owners were extremely friendly and hospitable with our children and luckily had the time to show us around this 25 acre property. The home is very cozy and modern, the rooms are very clean and comfortable and the view is picturesque. It’s located conveniently close to Main Street Galena where I was able to pick up coffee in less than a 20 min trip. We look forward to coming back and sharing this best kept secret with friends and family.

About the host

Hosted by Theresa Petraitis

Host profile image
My name is Theresa and my husband is Barron. We live on the property next to this property. We enjoy having friends over at our own house to host dinners and such, so we have taken hosting to a larger level by hosting travelers to this area.

Why they chose this property

This is a nice area because it's out of town but only a mile out of town, so if a person wants to spend time in town, it's a quick trip to get there and get back home.

What makes this property unique

This property is about 25 acres total. Seeing deer happens almost on a daily basis as well as other wildlife. It is peaceful to sit outside and listen to the birds and watch whatever wildlife may happen to run by.
