About this property

Westaway-Spacious Home w/Private Hot Tub, Fireplace, Amazing 1st Floor Layout

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. The Owner's Club includes an indoor swimming pool, outdoor swimming pool w/slides, a kiddie pool, fitness room, game room, indoor/outdoor basketball courts, tennis courts and seasonal snack bar. Don't forget to visit Lake Galena, The Shenandoah Riding Center and hiking trails throughout the 6,800-acre property.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property! The home was exactly as described—spacious, beautifully maintained, and exceptionally clean. Every room was thoughtfully prepared, and the house was fully stocked with everything we needed, which made our stay incredibly comfortable and stress-free.Linda was truly outstanding—responsive, accommodating, and genuinely caring about our experience from start to finish. It made a big difference knowing we could rely on such a great host.Our entire group had an amazing time, and the home provided the perfect setting for a relaxing and memorable getaway. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely love to return in the future. Highly recommend!

Our family enjoyed our stay with Westaway. Lynda was very helpful and responded as quickly as she could with any questions or concerns. The home itself was clean and just as described, we enjoyed baking cookies and cooking in the kitchen. The family room was cozy and the fireplace was perfect after a day of skiing. We will be back!

Great Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had an amazing time during our girls’ getaway weekend! The house was spotless and had everything we could have asked for in a rental. The indoor space was perfect, and the outdoor area was just as enjoyable—such a great place to relax and spend time together.We would absolutely stay here again. If I had to mention one small thing, it would be that there was no ice or coffee filters provided. It wasn’t a big deal at all, just meant a quick trip to a nearby store. Overall, a fantastic stay!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time. My wife had been to this house shortly after it was built, her brother actually worked on it. We loved all the room that we don't have at home. Bedrooms are all nice size and the bathrooms are nice size. The whole family enjoyed the stay alot. FYI hot is way to hot and the downspout out front is draining down the foundation.

Relax to the sounds of the birds

This property is tucked away but close to the lodge and Spa. This house layout is great for a group. This home is also very clean and has nice comfortable beds. One of the nicer features is the screened in porch with seating for 6. We have now stayed twice and communication with owner is great.
