About this property

Savor Crisp Fall Days @ Westaway! Spacious Home w/Private Outdoor Hot Tub!

Welcome to WestAway! Get away from it all in this 4 bedroom (2-king and 2-queen), 4.5 bath home. Our home has many updates from the kitchen, bedrooms/bathrooms, flooring, and decking . Excellent location found in the resort core between the North and South golf courses-close to walking paths.

WestAway is an open floor plan. Some featured highlights are remodeled main level powder room with plank board accent wall, carpet in family room, flooring , built in table that connects the family room to the kitchen, stainless steel appliances including a double oven, quartz counter tops, working island, and FULLY stocked for all your cooking needs (take a look at what guests are saying in their reviews!)! "This is better than our own kitchen at home!" Enjoy mornings with a cup of coffee in front of the stone, gas fireplace or on one of our porches. Play cards at the kitchen table while still engaged in conversation with those in the kitchen and family room.

The family room includes a 60" flat screen tv. Need a little private time? The loft offers a quiet place for socializing, reading and relaxing. There is also a family gathering space in the lower level with a 55" flat screen TV along with a Foosball table. A queen sofa sleeper is available for those extra guests. You'll get beautiful views of nature from the screened in porch located on the main level deck or relax your muscles in our covered hot tub on the lower deck overlooking a nature-filled back yard.

Enjoy Access to the GTA Owners Club while staying with us. The indoor pool is open year-round and the outdoor pool is open Memorial Day - Labor Day. The club is an exclusive amenity that can be used by only Galena Territory property owners and their guests.

We had a fantastic girl's weekend here! The house was clean, spacious and perfectly stocked for cooking/eating. It is absolutely adorable and set us so nicely for visiting with friends/family but also great bedrooms/bathrooms for personal space. Management was great. The hot tub was a fun addition as well!

Yearly Girl Trip

1968 classmates/besties had a wonderful time shopping, sampling, and enjoying the beauty of our surroundings. This home and lovely setting was just perfect for our foursome. Great kitchen, loved the antique pieces used practically and as decor! Next to it is the spacious living room where we caught up on the Olympics and watched the KC Royals/White Sox!!!! We each enjoyed our own bed and bathroom, lovely landscaping, and watching for our little fox on the road mornings and evenings, and seeing a big fox go across our parking the last morning! There is something for everyone in the territories and we highly recommend this property! Would definitely stay again,. Thank you Patrick and Patti !!

Reasonably priced, so clean, spacious, beautiful, great amenities and stocked with all that was promised and more. The beds were so cozy. Great space for hanging in many locations - together or alone. Very private location. They communicated everything clearly and in a reasonable amount of time. No struggle. We want to go back!
