Welcome to The Overlook, your perfect home away from home during the upcoming summer season in the Galena Territory. This contemporary three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home is the ideal retreat for a relaxing and fun-filled vacation. Enjoy the firepit under starry skies, sweat it out in the sauna, soak in the hot tub, or challenge your friends to Pac-Man or foosball. Perfect for families and couples alike. Oh, and dog-friendly.

Located just a short drive to the Owner's Club and 7 miles to Downtown Galena, The Overlook offers a prime resort location. The upper level of the house features an open floor plan with a spacious and bright kitchen dining room, a lovely screened porch, and a deck overlooking the peaceful backyard. The living room boasts a gorgeous picture window that brings the beauty of the outdoors inside.

For entertainment, the lower level of the house offers a family room complete with a foosball table and everyone's favorite classic arcade game, Pac-Man. And after a long day of exploration, unwind and rejuvenate in the sauna.

The primary bedroom, located on the main level, offers soaring ceilings, a comfortable king bed, and a desk for those who may need to catch up on work or simply want to write postcards to loved ones. The large primary bathroom provides a spa-like experience. On the lower level, you'll find two additional bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with a queen bed, as well as a pullout sofa in the family room for additional sleeping space.

Experience the magic of the night sky at The Galena Territory, a Certified Dark Sky Community. Gather around the firepit under the dark, starry skies and create lasting memories with your loved ones. Don't forget to bring your telescope or stargazing app to explore the wonders of the night sky.

We understand that your furry friends are part of the family, which is why The Overlook is dog-friendly. You can bring up to two dogs with you for an additional non-refundable fee of $150.

During your stay, you'll have access to the Owner's Club amenities. Six access cards are provided, giving you and your guests access to indoor and outdoor swimming pools, basketball, pickleball, and tennis courts, Lake Galena, and the Marina. If you need additional guest passes, they can be purchased at the Owner's Club for $5 per person per day. Please note that access cards or passes are only required for guests over the age of 5.

While we do not have an illness or weather cancellation policy, we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your peace of mind. Travel insurance can be purchased after booking.

Celebrated my 50th with our adult kids. From hanging out, playing games, sauna and hot tubbing with the fam to Galena shopping. This place was perfect and had everything we needed. Highly recommend this 3 bedroom house and we will stay here again.

Nice place to stay!

The house is clean and spacious. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, and a huge TV with surround sound is a plus. If you come for skiing, look no further—the house has a jet tub in the master bathroom, a hot tub outside, and a sauna downstairs! So good after a day on the slopes! Highly recommend!

Galena Getaway

What a great location for a getaway in Galena! This property and neighborhood are perfect for a group of 6. We had everything we could ask for including enough outdoor seating including a fire pit. We were getting a little big bitten so we moved indoors to the screened in porch which was a perfect fit for our group. All of us enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. The Pac-Man game was an added bonus for a few of our family members as well.

House condition doesn't match listing

Our family decided it was best to leave early. The VRBO didn’t match what was advertised, and we just couldn’t stay another night. There was a lot of visible mold, the carpet had bleach stains on the stairs and downstairs, and the whole place smelled like wet dog and mildew. Even the bath towels were worn out and had bleach stains. We were really looking forward to our time in Galena, but the condition of the house made it hard to enjoy the trip.
