About this property
New - UFO - Unique Forest Outpost with Hot Tub
The Retro Boho UFO was dropped in the forest of the Galena Territory in 1974 and the woods grew up around it. Like E.T. longs for home, you’ll long to stay in this Unique Forest Outpost (aka UFO) for a great couples get away, après ski/golf or small family vaca. The secluded location and forest views make for a great escape, but with easy access to amenities and downtown Galena.
Octagon-shaped house with wrap around deck and large windows for an (almost) 360 views.
2 Bedroom - both with queen beds
Hot Tub - arriving April 2026
2 Bathrooms
Kitchenette (no full sized oven)
Spiral staircase leads to a small walkout "basement" with a reading nook and desk/work area (if you must). Also access to laundry, if needed.
As guests of the Galena Territory, you have access to all of the Owner's amenities including indoor and outdoor pools, world-class golf courses, Lake Galena for boating and fishing, and horseback riding. Historic downtown Galena is just 10 minutes away.
While we LOVE this place, it may not be suitable for everyone. Please note:
We’re in the woods. Expect bugs outside and occasionally inside, despite our best efforts in pest control.
We love babies and dogs, but take caution with young children or pets due to safety of the spiral staircase.
There is a downhill sloped walk from the parking area.
No full sized oven in the kitchenette - however the microwave is also a convection oven and pizza pizzazz is available for small needs.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Sarah Jackson
As frequent visitors to Galena, we finally decided to take the leap to purchase our own properties here. Hospitality is my love language so I hope you'll see the thoughtfulness I put into the home.
Why they chose this property
There are only a few of these unique buildings in the Territory so we jumped at a chance to own one. Super quiet, wooded views.
