Welcome to The Overlook, your perfect home away from home during the upcoming summer season in the Galena Territory. This contemporary three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home is the ideal retreat for a relaxing and fun-filled vacation. Enjoy the firepit under starry skies, sweat it out in the sauna, soak in the hot tub, or challenge your friends to Pac-Man or foosball. Perfect for families and couples alike. Oh, and dog-friendly.
Located just a short drive to the Owner's Club and 7 miles to Downtown Galena, The Overlook offers a prime resort location. The upper level of the house features an open floor plan with a spacious and bright kitchen dining room, a lovely screened porch, and a deck overlooking the peaceful backyard. The living room boasts a gorgeous picture window that brings the beauty of the outdoors inside.
For entertainment, the lower level of the house offers a family room complete with a foosball table and everyone's favorite classic arcade game, Pac-Man. And after a long day of exploration, unwind and rejuvenate in the sauna.
The primary bedroom, located on the main level, offers soaring ceilings, a comfortable king bed, and a desk for those who may need to catch up on work or simply want to write postcards to loved ones. The large primary bathroom provides a spa-like experience. On the lower level, you'll find two additional bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with a queen bed, as well as a pullout sofa in the family room for additional sleeping space.
Experience the magic of the night sky at The Galena Territory, a Certified Dark Sky Community. Gather around the firepit under the dark, starry skies and create lasting memories with your loved ones. Don't forget to bring your telescope or stargazing app to explore the wonders of the night sky.

Great home and a responsive host. Brian checked in on us during our stay to see if we needed anything. We got several inches of snow and people were there to clear the drive way and walk way!

Beautiful, cozy home
We loved staying at the Overlook. It was very clean and had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable and worry free. The house is located close to town yet on a spacious property. We enjoyed use of the swimming pools, golfing, horseback riding and the pontoon boat rental. We loved going into town and riding on the trolley to learn of the history. We would definitely come back and stay at this property again.
Great location with everything you need for a relaxing trip or plenty to do if you want to be on the go. Lake, pool, horses, golf, shopping, and multiple playgrounds within minutes. Home was clean and comfortable with plenty of space and a wonderful screened in porch.
The space... the beds... the comfort and location are a great combination for a wonderful vacation! Thank you Johnny and Brian for your welcoming hospitality and your attentiveness to make sure our stay was a good one. We truly enjoyed our time in Galena and your home is an essential part of our pleasant experience.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is one of the cleanest homes we’ve ever seen! Nicely appointed, well stocked, plenty of space and everything was very comfortable. We would reserve this home again!
Celebrated my 50th with our adult kids. From hanging out, playing games, sauna and hot tubbing with the fam to Galena shopping. This place was perfect and had everything we needed. Highly recommend this 3 bedroom house and we will stay here again.
Our family of 4 and dog Buttercup all loved staying at The Overlook. It could have comfortably fit another family with us. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, using the hut tub and sauna on the cold nights, and using it as a home base for Galena, Grant's house and Horseshoe Mound. Would love to stay again!an
The house is clean and spacious. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, and a huge TV with surround sound is a plus. If you come for skiing, look no further—the house has a jet tub in the master bathroom, a hot tub outside, and a sauna downstairs! So good after a day on the slopes! Highly recommend!
Wonderful house! Great location. The property was very clean and well decorated. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses and pots/pans. Lots of towels in the bathrooms and the beds are super comfortable! Highly recommend!
Great location that provided views of beautiful sunsets! House was equipped with so many of the small items to make your stay enjoyable! All seating and beds were comfortable for all of our family. Kids loved the entertainment and games provided. Overall, would love to visit again!
Very comfortable house! Appreciated all the amenities. Lots of seating areas - especially liked the screen in porch. Clean and spacious Master bedroom with large closet and bright bathroom. Host was super responsive and accommodating! Location was conveniently close to route 20.
My friends and I had a fabulous weekend stay at The Overlook! Brian was a great host and made sure that we had everything that we needed throughout our stay. The house itself is amazing. It was very clean and had all the amenities one would need. We enjoyed exploring Galena and the local wineries, goat hiking and restaurants. Looking forward to returning very soon!
What a great location for a getaway in Galena! This property and neighborhood are perfect for a group of 6. We had everything we could ask for including enough outdoor seating including a fire pit. We were getting a little big bitten so we moved indoors to the screened in porch which was a perfect fit for our group.
All of us enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. The Pac-Man game was an added bonus for a few of our family members as well.
