This is our #1 rental home, and one look at the pictures will show you why. Enjoy some of the best views in the Territory from the one-of-a-kind 3-story wall of windows featured in this 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath home set back on a hill above the Shenandoah Valley. This home is immaculate, perfectly maintained, and decorated in the contemporary style you want. If you've stayed here before, you'll find that the owners of this home are well on their way to updating the entire home. With 4000 square feet of living space, this is a home that will give you more than enough room for everyone.
When you enter the home, the 2-story great room with its wall of windows will take your breath away. The large gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances will accommodate all the cooks in your group, and there are two dining areas so that everyone can have their own chair. This is only the main level, but it offers space for everyone to be together, whether they want to sit and enjoy the fireplace, prepare and enjoy a meal, or watch television in the adjacent den, all while enjoying the light and view that seem to be right in the home with you.
The main-level master bedroom offers the same great views from the king size bed, and the master bath is truly a wonder to behold with a whirlpool tub and a walk-in shower with 5 spray heads. The master bedroom is adjacent to the rear deck and hot tub, and it also has its own balcony to enjoy the view. The upper level loft bedroom soars high above the rest of the home and feels like a private bedroom. It features a queen bed, a bath with a shower, and a balcony overlooking the hot tub and firepit. There are two bedrooms in the lower level, each with the same stunning view as you get from the rest of the home. The lower king bedroom has an adjacent full bath and its own patio area. The twins bedroom has its own bath and a walk in closet.
The lower level family room is all new, with a 65” flat screen television, surround sound, DVD player, and Bluetooth sound speaker for streaming your music. The pit group couch is large and sumptuous, and there are two other chairs and a table that form a nice conversation area. Wherever you sit in the room, you’ll enjoy the view and the warmth of the fireplace. If you want something cooler, there’s also a wet bar with a refrigerator.
The rear deck with its large hot tub provides a great place to relax, and the firepit next to the deck is a great place to gather in the evening. This home offers a propane grill and we provide enough propane for normal usage. Please note that all grills are as is and may not work as well as your grill at home. Back inside, there is high-speed internet with wifi, telephone service, and Directv satellite service for every television.
This home books up fast – don’t wait too long to reserve your dates!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected.

Labor Day
The house is beautiful and fully equipped except for some items. It would be helpful to know what is not provided. There is a nail on the floor between the master bedroom and bathroom that cut my foot. The door to the master bedroom is broken and does not lock. WiFi works very poorly. Except for these items, all was great.

Perfect Location for a Relaxing Weekend
We had a group of 8 for a Bachelorette weekend and the accommodations were perfect for our size. The kitchen had everything we needed and the location was convenient. Having our morning coffee with a gorgeous view was a bonus and everyone left very happy. The host is quick to reply and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone.

Grandpa's 70th Birthday
This home was wonderful! It was perfect for our family of 7. The home had a great kitchen with so much space and stocked with everything you might need. we had a relaxing evening in the hot tub and enjoyed a few fires at the pit. A short distance from Owner's Club for pool and entertainment areas. Also, from activities such as horseback riding, ziplining, etc .and from town. We would definitely go back to this home!

Galina Family Vacation
We met in Galina for a long weekend. The property was spacious and very clean. The views were spectacular. We loved how the bedrooms were spaced out to maximize privacy. And the basement family room was the perfect place for all of our grandchildren to gather and play video games. My husband and I stayed in the master bedroom. The attached bathroom was extremely nice with a deep bathtub with jets. Several times, the group used the hot tub on the back deck. We also enjoyed shopping and sightseeing. We used the owners club pool one afternoon, visited the Grant house and drove to the alpine slides. It was a fun weekend. We would love to come back one day.

Retirement Celebration
The entire group LOVED this home and this home made our celebration for our friend's retirement extra special. The proximity to downtown Galena was closer than we expected. The layout of the home gave everyone enough private space to enjoy a full weekend together. The kitchen was large enough for 7 of us to enjoy a great meal together. The views in the morning and at sundown were spectacular. The evening hot tub ended our stay with special memories. All together the home was 5 star!!!

Mother's day getaway
It was a good stay overall, however the kitchen counter has/had an ant issue. maybe it's a seasonal thing but...to many ants. The master bedroom had a strong odor. I like the idea of pet friendly, however the less carpet the better. The house itself is in a great location, the deck is really nice, and the hot tub works great. Thanks

Perfect Galena stay!
We loved this property! Perfect for an extended weekend getaway with our 3yo and the grandmas. Incredibly clean property with beautiful views and a very well stocked kitchen, which was much appreciated! Enjoyed the fire pit and enjoyed taking our pup on walks on the idyllic roads. Only—very minor—issue was that there were no curtains in the kids room with twin beds, so midday nap was a bit of an improvise to try to block the sun. Otherwise, we enjoyed relaxing on the property and enjoying Galena and surrounding area. Will definitely keep it in mind for future!

Family Get Together
Beautiful home! Everyone really enjoyed the stay. Home was generally clean but deep cleaning of light fixtures, carpets, outdoor grill and vents would be nice. The threshold between the primary bathroom and closet should be repaired since carpet tacks are exposed. The bottom rack of the dishwasher appears to have a missing piece that makes sliding the rack in and out a challenge. I only mention these things since I would want to know as the home owner. Everyone greatly enjoyed the stay. Tracey was very responsive and the home is really lovely - perfect for our large family to get together. We very much enjoyed our stay and would stay again in the future.

Lovely large home!
This is a fantastic place to rent. Ideally situated near the Shenandoah Riding Stables at the Territory in Galena. It had everything we needed, but be sure to pack your own shampoo and conditioner, Kleenex, coffee, etc. This rental has both an automatic drip coffee maker and a Keurig. Plenty of dishes, pots and pans, cups, glassware, and tableware are available. Although we didn't use the hot tub this visit, the owner has provided a great supply of beach towels.
