About this house rental
Welcome to The Drey – A Private Forest Escape in Galena Territory
Wake up to the sound of birdsong and a cup of coffee high among the treetops. From woodpeckers and wild turkeys to eagles, deer, fox, and even the occasional bobcat—nature lovers and sustainability-focused friends, this is your front-row seat to the wild side of Galena.
The Space
Tucked away on a quiet wooded ridge, The Drey is a freshly decorated and sparkling-clean getaway designed for comfort and connection with nature. This cozy home accommodates up to 4 adults plus 2 children with:
-2 private queen bedrooms with new mattresses
-2 full bathrooms with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash
-A fun loft with bunk beds (ideal for kids 4+)
Modern comforts meet contemporary charm—enjoy strong fiber optic Wi-Fi (1 gig!), two workspaces, and streaming-ready TVs with Roku guest mode.
Guest access
Pin pad at door.
Motion detector lights will help you navigate from the parking to the door.
There are about 8 steps to access the entry. Parking is on a fairly level asphalt driveway, but the driveway is sloped to the parking area.
You will have the entire house other than the locked owners closet in the hallway and the basement.
You'll have four access passes to use the Owners Club.
Other things to note
The Surroundings
Located in the heart of the Galena Territory, you're just minutes from:
Hiking, biking & horseback riding trails
Dining, golfing & swimming (indoor & outdoor pools)
Spa and amazing golf courses, including The General
Boating on Lake Galena
Hot air balloon rides and more
The Country Store is a couple miles away within Galena Territory, and great for groceries, butcher meats, alcohol, or that item you forgot
Only a 10-minute drive to historic downtown Galena
Watch wildlife from the large picture windows or private deck, and listen for owls or woodpeckers in the morning. Our property is a certified National Wildlife Federation Habitat, so bring your binoculars for an unforgettable nature experience!
Amenities
Fully equipped kitchen: induction cooktop, oven, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, blender, toaster & multipurpose hot pot
Motion-sensor lights for safe, easy entry. Motion lights use cameras to detect motion and activate lights. Cameras are on the driveway and front steps, but do not capture guest areas.
Parking on a gently sloped, level asphalt pad
Fire pit table on deck keeps you warm while stargazing
Please Note
No pets
Not toddler-friendly (spiral stairs & balconies)
Occasional forest bugs may wander in—this is part of the charm of being immersed in nature
The home is extremely private—even with the blinds open
We call it The Drey—a squirrel’s nest—and you'll see why. Come unplug, recharge, and experience Galena from a whole new perspective.
