About this property

+Enjoy Long Summer Days @ Westaway! Access to Pools, Private Outdoor Hot Tub+

Welcome to WestAway! Get away from it all in this 4 bedroom (2-king and 2-queen), 4.5 bath home. Our home has many updates from the kitchen, bedrooms/bathrooms, flooring, and decking . Excellent location found in the resort core between the North and South golf courses-close to walking paths.

WestAway is an open floor plan. Some featured highlights are remodeled main level powder room with plank board accent wall, carpet in family room, flooring , built in table that connects the family room to the kitchen, stainless steel appliances including a double oven, quartz counter tops, working island, and FULLY stocked for all your cooking needs (take a look at what guests are saying in their reviews!)! "This is better than our own kitchen at home!" Enjoy mornings with a cup of coffee in front of the stone, gas fireplace or on one of our porches. Play cards at the kitchen table while still engaged in conversation with those in the kitchen and family room.

The family room includes a 60" flat screen tv. Need a little private time? The loft offers a quiet place for socializing, reading and relaxing. There is also a family gathering space in the lower level with a 55" flat screen TV along with a Foosball table. A queen sofa sleeper is available for those extra guests. You'll get beautiful views of nature from the screened in porch located on the main level deck or relax your muscles in our covered hot tub on the lower deck overlooking a nature-filled back yard.

Enjoy Access to the GTA Owners Club while staying with us. The indoor pool is open year-round and the outdoor pool is open Memorial Day - Labor Day. The club is an exclusive amenity that can be used by only Galena Territory property owners and their guests. The Owner's Club includes an indoor swimming pool, outdoor swimming pool w/slides, a kiddie pool, fitness room, game room, indoor/outdoor basketball courts, tennis courts and seasonal snack bar. Don't forget to visit Lake Galena, The Shenandoah Riding Center and hiking trails throughout the 6,800-acre property.

Relax to the sounds of the birds

This property is tucked away but close to the lodge and Spa. This house layout is great for a group. This home is also very clean and has nice comfortable beds. One of the nicer features is the screened in porch with seating for 6. We have now stayed twice and communication with owner is great.

Great Place to 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: This property located in Eagle Ridge Territory in Galena was perfect! They have renovated the entire house since the last time I stayed there and they did an amazing job. We had our 24th annual girls trip this past weekend and this house was just what we needed. Plenty of room for 10 women. The screened in porch was a great spot to gather and the kitchen table/island was the best spot for games! The house was very clean and had every amenity you could possibly need. Five stars all around and I’d highly recommend this place! Thanks for having an amazing house!

We had a great time! The house had everything we needed. It was well stocked, we each had our own bedroom and bathroom which was awesome! The location was also great. We went skiing one day and went downtown to the shops another day. The house is centrally located so it was easy to get around.

We had a fantastic girl's weekend here! The house was clean, spacious and perfectly stocked for cooking/eating. It is absolutely adorable and set us so nicely for visiting with friends/family but also great bedrooms/bathrooms for personal space. Management was great. The hot tub was a fun addition as well!
