Spend Spring w/us on Talisman! Hot tub, Pet Friendly & next to Walking Trail!

**Enjoy Golf Benefits** Guests of this home have access to our Golf Membership at Eagle Ridge, which provides preferred rates and tee times at The General, The North Course, and the South Course! Contact us for details.

Amazing Galena retreat with modern conveniences! Our Talisman home is situated on almost an acre w/a wooded area to the rear of the property and a horse/walking trail immediately adjacent to the side of the house. The home offers 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 2 fireplaces. The main level living room has a floor-to-ceiling limestone wood-burning fireplace and flat screen 55" TV. Our large kitchen offers abundant natural light and stainless steel appliances and would be a grand place to host your getaway meal. The large, roomy Master Bedroom is located on the upper level of the home and offers a king-size bed with a large flat-screen TV to lay back and view. The master bath offers a great whirlpool tub and shower with a double sink vanity. The main level features a Queen bedroom with en suite bath. When you enter the lower level you will find the family room where you can relax, play games, or watch movies or the big game on the 55" TV and pool table. The lower level is also home to our other Queen bedroom and then our double twin bedroom. This home features a comfortable screened in porch on the main level w/deck and then a great place to sit on the patio below and look out over the yard. The backyard is also the location of our new fire pit - enjoy!

Overall the house provided the space we needed. We were a group of 7. We were there to attend a wedding in Galena, so having several bathrooms helped, we were all ready on time. I was able to watch the northern lights from the front yard which was a very special treat since I live in Texas and not able to see them. We saw several deer and wild turkeys. The quietness made this the perfect place to relax.

This was home-base for an annual gathering of long-time friends. Through pictures descriptions and correspondence, we could tell exactly what we were getting. The bedrooms and en suites were clean and comfortable. I especially liked the owner’s suite. The living areas were very comfortable. We really enjoyed gathering on the deck backing up to the forest. The entire group really enjoyed the whole property.

Nice place in a peaceful setting north of Galena- nice trails just outside the door for hiking. Location was a little farther from downtown Galena that we anticipated but that is a very minor thing. Good comfortable house with plenty to do. Note: Dog-friendly for sure but bring some gates if you want to keep them on a certain floor of the house!
