About this house rental

Welcome to our cabin in the woods in the Galena Territory. This expanded Miner's Cottage is one of the most popular home styles in the area. This is not a city home or a suburban home. Instead, it is a vacation home designed for guests looking for a more rustic space that also offers an open-concept floor plan with 5 bedrooms and 5.5 baths. Our home is located on a beautiful and attractively designed wooded lot. It is situated down from the street level and parking area, giving you the feeling of privacy you seek without feeling isolated. There is a paved and lighted driveway with a parking area just big enough for six cars and a set of lighted concrete steps from the parking area to the home. There are 10 steps down from the driveway to the house. Still, the entire stairway spans over 50 feet, so this home may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues or a desire to have a short walk from the car to the front door of the house. We have prompt and effective snow removal during the winter. Our home has plenty of room inside and outside to relax, socialize and play. There are two separate living areas – one upstairs and another downstairs - and two spacious decks for playing, sitting, eating out, grilling, and using the hot tub. There is also a large screened porch with a table and chairs. The high vaulted ceilings in the foyer and great room welcome you with a bright and airy space. Enjoy the view from the great room's wraparound windows. The effect is magical when you use the wood-burning fireplace between the windows. There is also a half bath nearby. There is a television and DVD player in the great room. Of course, you are welcome to use our firewood. Our kitchen and dining area are big enough to prepare and serve a meal to a crowd. The dining table seats 10 guests, and there are two extra chairs. Each of our 5 bedrooms has its own full bath and an exterior door to access the outside decks or patios. The generous master bedroom, which is on the main level and has a large private balcony, has a king bed. The master bath features a whirlpool tub. The other 4 bedrooms, each with a queen bed, are in two separate wings on the lower level, with a family room in between. The family room has a comfortable sectional couch, large-screen television, a wet bar with a refrigerator, and a foosball table. There is not a sofa sleeper at this home. Two doors from the family room lead directly to the expansive lower deck and hot tub. The built-in entertainment center in the great room has books and games for more entertainment. For Hotwheels car enthusiasts of all ages, there are cars and trick tracks in the laundry room to build your own raceway. Other features in our home include a large outdoor grill with propane, dedicated wireless internet, and a work desk built into the kitchen. Your rental includes free access to the indoor and outdoor swimming pools, fitness center, gymnasium, game room, business center, and tennis courts at the Galena Territory Owners' Club. The Territory also offers a hiking trail system and Lake Galena, where you can rent a pontoon boat, fishing boat, or kayak. No swimming is allowed at the lake, but the fishing is spectacular. Our home is also close to horseback riding and trail rides at the Shenandoah Riding Center, zip lines, wineries, golf courses, and restaurants. However, there is an extra cost for these activities. We are happy to share our home with you. We hope you enjoy your stay.

My entire family (parents, siblings, children and dogs) spent the weekend at this wonderful family home in Galena. The space was so warm and welcoming and allowed for our large group to all eat, visit, and comfortably be together. Each bedroom having an en suite bathroom was such a game-changer in order for each family to have their own space and privacy. The weather was quite cold and snowy, so we were not able to enjoy the outside amenities, but a trip into town and also to the Owner's Club to swim made up for it. We would absolutely stay here again!

This property was a perfect fit for our family group of 9 adults and 1 toddler. The setting is beautiful and the home is spacious and welcoming. I was able to reach the owner easily and quickly with questions. Thank you for a lovely stay in rural Galena!

This house is beautiful and perfect for a larger family! We absolutely loved the rustic (very Galena) feel of the home. Everything was clean and organized- especially the hot tub! Property manager was very responsive and check in was simple, we were even able to get in early! We loved using the fireplace and the kitchen was smaller but was able to handle our cooking for 8 people! Hiking in the area was lovely. We had the SMALLEST of complaints. We wish that real soap dispensers were provided rather than just hotel mini bars of soap. We also had to go out and purchase dish washer detergent because none was provided. We also wish we had an extra roll of paper towels! The only other thing I would note is that you will want to be prepared if you’re bringing a toddler into this home. The stairs to get to the lower level in the house are very steep and the railing around it has wide openings at the bottom that a child could easily slip through. The basement is well furnished and you could certainly just hang out down there! This is no fault of the property owners and did not effect my rating of this home, this is just a note to any families traveling with small children. We absolutely loved staying here and would recommend it and would stay again.

2nd weekend at this lovely home for my friends and me. Lovely house, the fireplace is the main attraction and you cannot beat private bathrooms for each bedroom. Will be back!

We were in Galena for an annual friends/family outing. A few of us have been to Galena before. However, it was a first for all of us to see the fun parade. Lots & lots of people. We wished we could have spent more time at the house. We choose a different destination each year, and everyone had a great weekend—very unique town to visit.
