Relax, Recharge, and Explore in Galena Territory

Welcome to your perfect getaway in the heart of the scenic Galena Territory—where relaxation meets recreation. This beautifully furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat offers the ideal blend of comfort, privacy, and access to world-class amenities, making it a favorite for families, couples, and adventure seekers alike.

Step inside and experience the inviting warmth of vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and an open-concept layout that connects the living room, dining room, and fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a farm sink, soft-close drawers, a pantry, and both drip and Keurig coffee makers—ideal for casual breakfasts or evening gatherings.

The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful sanctuary with a smart TV and easy access to the main living spaces. Enjoy stunning sunsets and serene forest views from the expansive back porch, or unwind in the vaulted-ceiling 3-season room with a comfortable couch, dining table, and TV.

Downstairs, the fully exposed lower level includes two additional bedrooms, a second living area with a smart TV, a sofa sleeper, laundry room, and direct access to a second covered porch. It’s the perfect space for kids, extended family, or friends traveling together.

The fun continues in the detached 2-car garage, converted into a recreation space complete with a second fridge, ping pong table, foosball, and plenty of games.
