About this property
Modern, Luxe Escape in The Galena Territory / Hot Tub / Fire Pit / Games!
At The Galena Glen, days unfold with cozy, modern-heritage charm. Sip coffee on sunlit decks, unwind in the hot tub beneath quiet woods and starry skies, and gather by the wood-burning fireplace after exploring historic Galena. EMF-neutralizing technology adds calm, and access to the Owner's Club gym, pools, and amenities invites effortless play. With 3 bedrooms and space for 8, it’s a retreat where families and friends and drawn to linger + reconnect.
Tucked near a quiet cul-de-sac in the rolling hills of the Galena Territory, The Galena Glen feels like the kind of place families talk about long after the suitcases are unpacked. It’s warm, refined, and crafted with playful elegance—where every corner invites you to slow down and reconnect with the people who matter most.

The Inside...
The moment you arrive, the home feels like an exhale. Inside, sunlight pours through generous windows, tracing across exposed beams and a soaring custom bookshelf that rises nearly twenty feet. The living room blends nostalgia with modern ease: a wood-burning fireplace, vintage-style bookshelf games waiting for spontaneous tournaments, and a large smart TV for cozy movie nights.
The main floor flows effortlessly—living, dining, and kitchen connected in an open layout ideal for families and groups. The fully equipped kitchen is a thoughtful blend of style and practicality: ceramic-coated cookware, an air fryer for quick snacks between adventures, and both a classic coffee pot and French press for slow, indulgent morning brews. Step through the dining room onto the screened-in deck, where morning sunlight filters through trees and evenings feel like a quiet, private retreat in the woods.
Downstairs, the lower level becomes a restful sanctuary. Two king bedrooms offer calming spaces with Roku TVs, full-length mirrors, and direct access to nature’s backdrop. The third bedroom is a child’s dream —floor-level full bunk beds, a reading nook that sparks imagination, toys for creative play, and thoughtful touches like a white noise machine and pack ’n play to make traveling with little ones easier. Two bathrooms—one with a tub for easy nighttime routines, the other with a walk-in shower—add comfort and convenience for groups of up to eight.
The Outside….
Outside, the experience deepens. The front porch beckons with brightly colored hanging swing chairs, the kind kids race to claim and adults secretly love even more. The upper deck off the living room offers multiple seating areas and a propane grill for effortless alfresco meals. From there, wander down to the lower deck, where one of the king bedrooms opens directly to the hot tub—perfect for stargazing soaks after exploring historic downtown Galena just fifteen minutes away. Beyond the deck, the backyard slopes gently enough for winter sledding and features a basketball hoop for friendly competitions when the driveway isn’t full (though it can welcome up to eight parked cars).
Evenings settle sweetly around the fire pit. Wrapped in blankets, you can bask in the surroundings while kids retell their favorite moments of the day. The property’s EMF-neutralizing technology quietly supports a sense of calm, helping guests truly unwind.
Your stay also includes access to the Owner’s Club amenities—indoor pool, gym, and more—expanding the possibilities for relaxation and play.
Every detail at The Galena Glen was chosen to make life feel effortless and meaningful, whether you’re hosting a family movie night by the crackling fire, sharing stories in the hot tub, cooking comfort meals with loved ones, or simply savoring the quiet in a swing chair as the woods breathe around you.
It’s the kind of place that feels instantly familiar, beautifully designed, and forever memorable—a retreat where modern comfort meets timeless moments…. And it’s waiting for you!
Other things to note:
No pets allowed… as much as we love them, we do not allow them in our home in order to remain sensitive to other guests that may have allergies.
Non-smoking… No smoking in the home – we are family-friendly & desire to keep the property clear of any traces of cigarettes / other smoking devices.
No parties of any kind… We ask this out of respect for our home and out of love for our wonderful neighbors.
Dark Skies Policy... The Galena Territory is officially recognized as a Dark Sky Development of Distinction…. That means the stars are amazing here!!
