Private 3BR/2BA near golf, historic Galena, lake, owner's club, hiking, skiing

Enjoy the experience of entering a cozy cottage to find beautiful wooded views from the balcony of the main floor bedroom or the back deck and think to your self “it’s time to relax”. With your safety and comfort in mind the home is cleaned and sanitized with hospital grade sanitizer.

The home is private, yet surrounded by amenities galore. With the Galena Territory Owner's passes you will have access to indoor pool, outdoor pool with slides and a zero entry pool for kids, 225 acre lake with marina, 4 championship golf courses, indoor basketball court, state of the art fitness center, game room, and 31 miles of biking/hiking trails. The Shenandoah Riding Center, a convenient general store, the Eagle Ridge Resort and Stonedrift Spa are also located within minutes. All this within the Galena Territories you just nestled into.

In 2021 The Galena Territory was named as a Dark Sky Friendly Development Of Distinction Award Recipient.

This beautiful Galena property was everything we hoped for! It was quiet, clean, and spacious—perfect for a long weekend friends’ getaway. The stunning fall scenery and peaceful neighborhood within a short walk to the waterfall created the ideal setting for a relaxing trip. The only drawback was the limited transportation options to and from downtown Galena, but we’ll plan ahead for that next time. We’re already looking forward to returning next year!
