About this house rental
Visit the Alpacas, peacocks, miniature horses, Scottish highland cattle. Amazing, peaceful scenery and topography, located on the Brixen Ivy Ranch. Beautiful sunsets over the ridge. Access to Galena Territory owners club and facilities (swimming pools, fitness center, horseback riding, pontoon boats), as well as on site nine hole par three golf course and fishing and trails. Warm, open floorpan, four bedriooms three baths, one king, four queen and two twin beds (total 7) on stunning 300 acre ranch just outside Galena Territory. On the ranch there are miles of hiking trails, (including the "Shark" and the "bear" trails) animals, frisbee/disc golf, baseball and athletic field, volley ball court, fishing ponds. We can arrange UTV rides that tour the animals and cattle and possibly stop to collect fresh chicken eggs. Far better lodging option that a boring hotel or motel room or two :).

We were upgraded to the Fishtale Lodge & it was fabulous inside & out! We were only there 2 nights I hated to leave but hope to return soon.

The house was comfortable and clean. The views from the back deck and windows looked like an Autumn painting. Jo, the manager was so nice. He took my niece to see the animals. The house could use some updating as some of the shades didn’t pull down. The bedroom downstairs is not easily accessed as you have to go outside and down a slope to enter it. Over all a nice place to stay.

We LOVED our stay here!! My husband and I and our kids (ages 11, 8 & 4) and my husbands parents all had an amazing time. We could have easily spent all of our time here without doing anything else in and around Galena. The sunset cottage was extremely clean and we loved exploring the ranch and meeting the animals. We enjoyed mornings and evenings on the swing out front and sunsets on the deck! Joe the ranch hand was amazing and we loved our conversations with him. Thanks so much for everything, we will definitely be back!!
