Perfect Getaway - Cozy Cottage in The Galena Territory

The moment you walk into this updated home, you'll begin to breath easier. With 3 bedrooms and great gathering spaces, your whole group will enjoy your time together. Great for families, couples or girl's getaways.

The Master suite (lower/living level) has a king-sized bed and ensuite with huge walk-in shower and double vanity. The upper level (entrance level) features 2 additional bedrooms and a second bathroom with a large jetted tub.

The open concept living/dining/kitchen area on the lower level allows for easy conversations and hanging out. Enjoy a meal on the screen porch in the summer or the warmth of a crackling fire in the winter.

You'll likely see wild turkey and deer cross the lawn. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of "Glenn the Galena Groundhog" who lives under the deck. On clear nights, you can see the entire Milky Way.

Relax with our easy check in and check out process - no long list of things to do before leaving.

We are pet friendly with a $50 pet fee for additional cleaning often needed when furry friends come along. Please be sure to add pets to your reservation and the fee will be added.

As guests of The Galena Territory, you have access to indoor and outdoor pools, world class golf, game room, basketball/pickleball courts, hiking trails, horse riding and of course Lake Galena for fishing and boating.

It's an easy drive (15 min) to charming downtown Galena shops and restaurants and Chestnut Mountain ski area.

Galena offers a balance of quiet relaxation with plenty to do!

Perfect for Weekend Getaways

This was the perfect house for our family weekend getaway. From the start we felt right at home. The house itself was spacious yet cozy, very clean, and well-equipped. It had everything we needed from the comfortable bedrooms to the fully stocked kitchen, and a cozy living area with fireplace that made for a perfect movie night.The neighborhood was perfect for our morning walk and the area was just right for star-gazing. The host was also very responsive and helpful, providing us with all the info we needed before our stay. I would highly recommend this beautiful home.

Great girls getaway

There were five adult females ages 36-47. We loved the large table to play games, pig out on snacks and have cocktails. We had wild turkeys walk through the yard each morning, and even gobble back to us when we “talked” to them. We’d recommend this place anytime!!

Simply Wonderful!!

We couldn’t have asked for anything better! The house was so adorable with plenty of room. The owners thought of everything with lots of scan codes for instructions as well as lists of best places to eat, etc. We will definitely stay here again when we go back to Galena.

We spent the weekend with friends for a change of scenery. The house was cute, clean and cozy. The kids had fun in the snow and sledding down the small hill by the side of the house! The owner was very communicative and flexible! Highly recommend!

Mini vacay

Great house, loved all the little helpful notes throughout the house. One of the pictures made it look like there was a grill on the deck but there was not, very minor disappointment because there was a mini one in the storage closet. Very quiet neighborhood, excellent experience, would definitely stay again.

Hidden gem

Loved everything about our stay here in the territories. The place was spacious for 4 people, well maintained and very clean. We took advantage of the screened in porch. Sarah, our host was very fast to respond and accommodating. Such a lovely little place. Our only regret was not having more time. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful Fall weekend

This home is fantastic! It is immaculate, up to date, with lots of thoughtful extras. I wish more owners were as thorough. Cute labels were very helpful for all the little things. We were very comfortable and loved seeing all the turkeys and deer enjoying the apples from all the apple trees. The owners were very helpful and quick to answer questions. Just note that there are several steps down to the main level. This little house is a gem!

Galena Get Away

When we first got to the property, we thought, oh wow, this is smaller than what we thought. When we went inside, we were just in awe! It was beautiful, so big and had everything we needed, and more. The yard was awesome for the kids and the area was great. Such friendly people walking by, stopping to talk. The pool was amazing that we were able to use. It was nice to have the screened in porch for eating and keeping the littles out of the sun for a bit. It even rained a little, but we were still "outside"!!We're hoping to make this a yearly stay!! The only thing that we would've liked to be different, would've been to have a bigger grill to use, but not complaining, as it worked fine.

Beautiful autumn weekend!

Five friends met up for an overdue long weekend in Galena. Have gone the B&B route in the past, but decided to try this VRBO property as it is pet friendly which we needed this time. Sarah is extremely helpful and prompt with communication. We had to change our length of stay (within the change/cancellation window), and she was very understanding and processed our one night refund immediately. She emailed all check in and check out instructions, property manual, etc. prior to our arrival, and we had no issues during our stay. The property was well appointed, SUPER clean, and the beds were amazingly comfortable. Lovely wooded backyard area (peak fall colors were an added bonus). We enjoyed both the indoor wood fireplace and outdoor fire pit, and the property is very quiet and serene. Saw many deer and wild turkeys during our stay! The trek into Galena was just under 15 minutes, so super easy to go back and forth for shopping, dining, and activities. We had a wonderful stay, and hope to return one day. Would definitely recommend!

Galena August 2023

We had an amazing stay at Sarah’s. There is nothing she hasn’t thought of. Beds were comfy, sheets we newer. Refrigerator had all the things you hate to buy because your not going to take them home with you like ketchup and mayonnaise, bandaids, wood for fire pit. Everything was clean. Bathrooms where in good shape. The jacuzzi tub was amazing. My grandchildren loved it. Easy to communicate. We didn’t go to the pool but she had owners passes if we had wanted to. We did cook breakfast and several dinners. Everything you need was in the kitchen. Even makings for s’mores and roasting utensils too. We made s’mores 3 times. WiFi worked great and Netflix and the roku were easy. The only thing we had trouble with was the thermostat. We were there in 80+ days and the upstairs was hot. We did adjust the thermostat but in the middle of the night it would reset to economy mode. We did try to figure that out to no avail. Keeping it set to cool off the upstairs which worked fine but than the downstairs was chilly. Regardless we had a lovely stay and we plan to visit again and stay at Sarah’s. I highly recommend staying. Sarah’s place is fantastic! We have been to Galena many times I highly recommend it and stay at Sarah’s. My family all gave it a 10+ and they are very opinionated.👍😊

We took grandchildren to Galena for a couple of days for a getaway. We wanted a facility that our granddaughter and grandson could each have their own room. This rental was perfect for that every time I had a question I immediately heard back from Sarah. The place was clean and met our needs perfectly. The neighborhood was very nice and it was easy to check into. I would recommend this rental.
