About this property

Lighted Hot Tub w/Beautiful Sunset & 4 BD/2.5 Baths and very close to town.

Unwind a mile outside of Galena at this lovely house and wooded property. With 4 bedrooms, including 1 king bed, 2 queen beds, 2 bunk beds each with a double mattress on the bottom and a twin on top, this property is perfect for families or groups of friends. The house features 3 bathrooms: 2 are full with a shower in each and the other is a half bathroom. You'll find all the essentials like AC/heating, WiFi, laundry facilities, a full kitchen stocked with dishes and appliances. To enjoy nice weather and sit among nature, there is a deck or a patio of your choice. There is also a charcoal grill available as well as a fire pit in the yard and a hot tub on the lower patio. After a day enjoying the amenities that Galena offers (shopping, restaurants, wineries, bars, kayaking, etc.), you'll only have a couple minutes of driving to get to the house to relax and unwind. For indoor entertainment, there is an 86" television upstairs and a pool table, foosball table and a smaller television in the basement.

You'll drive up a gravel driveway surrounded by trees and may even see some deer and other wildlife on your way up to the house. When you get up to the property, you'll feel peacefully secluded as you'll be surrounded with a yard, fields (may see/hear sheep) and trees.

This is a great property to get away from town but still be close enough that you won't feel isolated.

Fantastic house and hosts!

My friends and I came up for a quick snowboard trip and the house was everything we could have asked for. Clean and spacious. Close to the town. The hosts were amazing and when we had any issues or questions, they responded back promptly. Highly recommend staying here. We will be back here for all of our Galena trips.

Quick weekend getaway

My wife and I booked this place with two other couples for a weekend friends getaway. We had a blast! We actually all agreed our favorite part of our two day trip to Galena was the first night where all we did was stay in and play games, hang in the extra large hot tub and enjoy each others company. There was a good snow storm and it added to the wonderful experience and ambiance. One of our friends even said "this was by far the best VRBO I've ever been in" and we agree. It was beautiful, clean, well maintained, and the host kept great communication. We would book this place again in a heartbeat.

Quick getaway

The property was just a quick drive from downtown Galena on a secluded quiet road. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. Check-in and check-out was very simple. We loved the sheep, the hot tub and surrounding wildlife. A perfect quick getaway for the family.

About the host

Hosted by Theresa Petraitis

Host profile image
My name is Theresa and my husband is Barron. We live on the property next to this property. We enjoy having friends over at our own house to host dinners and such, so we have taken hosting to a larger level by hosting travelers to this area.

Why they chose this property

This is a nice area because it's out of town but only a mile out of town, so if a person wants to spend time in town, it's a quick trip to get there and get back home.

What makes this property unique

This property is about 25 acres total. Seeing deer happens almost on a daily basis as well as other wildlife. It is peaceful to sit outside and listen to the birds and watch whatever wildlife may happen to run by.
