About this property

BIG 5BR/5.5BA all ensuite baths, Hot Tub, Screen Porch.

BIG 5BR/5.5BA all ensuite baths, Hot Tub, Screen Porch. ***Four Wheel Drive recommended during winter season***
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.

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.

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.

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.

Family Getaway

We really enjoyed our weekend stay at 7 Talisman Trace, Galena Territory. The 5 bedrooms with great beds, nice bedding & adjoining bathrooms made things so much easier & enjoyable! The house was stocked with everything we needed for family meals, game time and relaxing. We made use of the hot tub, nearby hiking trails and amenities at the homeowner’s club. We would highly recommended this property for anyone!

Beautiful home, perfect for group setting.

The fact that each room has an en suite bathroom was so convenient for our group! Beautiful setting and the owners club was a huge hit with our group. Note - families with young children, you'll want to be cautious of the stairs. We were able to move some furniture and stack coolers to keep it more "baby proof" for our littles.

We had a great time at this house. It was exactly like the pictures, very clean and in a great location. We were 9 people and we really appreciated the spaciousness of the house. We had some issues with the air conditioning and Tracey responded quickly to every question and tried to problem solve quickly. We really appreciated this. We would definitely stay there again.

Very nice property

Very quiet and private. Loved the fact that each bedroom had there own bathroom. Nice deck and hottub. Was a little afraid of the parking and carrying stuff down to the house/steps but, that really was not a problem at all. Very nice property!

Family vacation

The home was beautiful and very clean! Kudos to the housekeeper.The beds were comfortable. It took a little bit to get the TV working to the channel with the Olympics, but thankfully our IT son-in-law was successful. The steps were a little difficult with unloading and loading especially for the older parents. Overall, great place!!

Pleasant great house for large groups

The only complaint was right at the end we were leaving around 9:30 a.m. and we had mowers come in and mow around the property at very high rates of speed. WE were afraid we were going to get hit by flying debris would have been nice if they could have waited 10 minutes for us to leave and then start since check out really wasn't until 11 a.m.

Beautiful overall setting.

This property was beautiful with high ceilings and very bright in the family room and kitchen area. The coffee pots didn't word because of the hard water. The property manger replace the Mr. Coffee the next morning. Only complaint was the furniture in the screened room was stained and didn't want to sit out there. Overall it was a very nice place to stay in a beautiful setting.

55th Anniversary Celebration

All of our immediate family (children & grandchildren) attended our weekend celebration with the exception of one grandson who was out of the country. The property was perfect for us. There was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and yet plenty of room to gather as a group. The group enjoyed the hot tub, the foosball table, the outdoor grill and the beautiful scenery. I don't think we could have chosen a better place for our celebration. The entire family was very pleased with all aspects of the property. Highly recommended!
