About this house rental
The Galena Chalet is one of only five homes in the Galena Territory with a full lake view of Lake Galena. The home is nestled into three acres of lakeside property with an abundance of natural forestry. The chalet has 5 bedrooms and is tastefully furnished and organized for larger groups of 8-10 people.
The beautiful Chalet is charming inside and out; nestled in the woods and located with the most scenic view Lake Galena has to offer. The chalet is made with the highest quality detail. There is a 2000 sq ft wrap around deck that over looks Lake Galena. Nap in the hammock in the woods, or watch the bald eagles soar over the Lake from the back deck. Gourmet chefs kitchen. Wonderful place for a family or group gathering.
The inside of the chalet boasts European influenced wood-working and architecture throughout. The interior design is a beautiful fusion of rustic-modern. The home has a reclaimed dining table with seating for 10 people; dueling sofas aside the stone, wood-burning fireplace; and a lower level game & billiards area surrounding a decorative wood-burning stove that can also fit up to 10 people comfortably.
We often have wild turkeys, deer, eagles and a variety of birds visit our property. There are various outdoor areas for taking in all the nature that this charming property has to offer. Sit by the front fountain listening to the trickling water and watching the hummingbirds in the chalet’s garden. There is a seasonal rotating bloom.
We have newly installed gig-speed fiber internet available and a work loft with desk. Perfect for a work-remote environment while traveling!
Please note before booking; the home is an older home, and with that comes charm that is unable to be built in modern day homes. There is no central air however there is a powerful wall unit system which keeps the home very pleasant. Feel free to read the reviews. Our previous guests have provided thorough recommendations reflecting back on the detail and enjoyment they experienced from our home. We’ve put a lot of thought and care into it to make it an extra special experience for our guests.
Book your reservation today and enjoy a relaxing and peaceful getaway at the Galena Chalet. It’s wonderful during all four seasons!
We look forward to hosting you and your guests this coming season!

Great place to spend with friends with amazing views and fun explorations nearby

Anything you could need, I felt like the house was stocked wonderfully with enough dishes, utensils, games, a cooler, baby stuff (even though not needed). The view was absolutely beautiful! Tons of lounge chairs and seating on the deck, which we appreciated

We were 5 sisters spending some time together. The Chalet was the perfect setting for our gathering. It provided more than enough space for eating, chatting, chilling or watching a favorite tv show together. We loved the enclosed back porch, sitting outside while the rain was falling, listening to dozens of of frogs accompanied by a full orchestra of forest sounds. Magical!!! I might add it an unbelievable space to catch an afternoon nap. The pools and marina were wonderful. The hiking options are endless and we know we will have to come to continue our athletic endeavors. This is a place where memories are made and love is shared. We look forward to planning a trip back to Chalet in the Fall.

The view at Galena Chalet is gorgeous every time you look at it, there’s no doubt! But we were there in August so an old home + hot weather = mustiness and a bad mix for anyone with allergies. Probably not an issue if you plan to stay in cooler months! That being said, spacious and very pretty.
