Secluded retreat with great outdoor spaces, Tree-top Views, Hot tub

Situated on two acres of wooded privacy, this home is the perfect place to relax and unwind. As soon as you enter, you'll fall in love with this cozy home with fireplace and airy living space.

The main level features a great room with open concept living, dining and kitchen. A great space for everyone to gather. With access to a screen porch and walk-out deck spaces, you'll love the views into the tree tops.

The master suite, also located on the main level, hosts a king-sized bed and ensuite bathroom with jetted tub.

The lower level has a second living/game room. Two additional bedrooms (both with queen beds, plus a twin in one) and a full bath round out the lower level. The sofa folds out for additional sleeping, if needed. Both bedrooms have access to a second screened porch so everyone can enjoy the outdoors. The lower deck walks out to a hot tub!

Even though the lot is secluded, you're just minutes from all the great amenities of the Galena Territory, including indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, full gymnasium, game room, hiking trails, and a beautiful marina. It is a short drive (12 mins) to downtown Galena's shopping and dining opportunities.

**Please note the driveway is steep. Be prepared in winter weather.

We loved our stay at this cozy home. Everything was perfect and the home was well stocked. Sarah was a wonderful and very attentive host! Our family loved the fireplace and relaxing in the hot tub and looking up at the stars at night. There was ample space for our family and the beds were very comfortable. All of the extra blankets were a plus too!

The home was comfortable, clean, well stocked, and quiet. Peaceful setting in the woods. Comfortable beds. Loved the identifying notes on light switches. Provided coffee quite tasty. Felt like being on a retreat. We rented this home because it was close to the home our son and family rented with 4 young children. So we especially appreciated the quiet! We enjoyed Galena and the owners club pool. Highly recommend.

This home is in a wonderful location. Close enough to town for shopping, but secluded enough for privacy. The home was lovely and worked well for our group of 7. Of course, we filled the house! But even so it did not feel overly crowded... Would certainly stay there again! The woods are lovely, and the Hot Tub provided some nice relaxation. We had everything we needed for meal prep, showers, etc. Owner was responsive to messages and flexible on our arrival time, etc. Highly recommend!
