About this house rental
Enjoy the unique vibes of the Retro Boho UFO! Like E.T. longs for home, you’ll long to stay in this Unique Forest Outpost (aka UFO) for a great couples get away, après ski/golf or small family vaca. Stay where the house itself is a destination!
Only 800 sq feet, but this octagon-shaped house with wrap-around deck and floor to ceiling windows for an almost 360° view, is anything but small.
2 Bedroom - both with queen beds
2 Bathrooms
Private Hot Tub
Kitchenette
A spiral staircase leads to a small walkout "basement" with reading nook and desk/work area (if you must) and access to laundry, as needed.
As guests of the Galena Territory, you have access to all of the Owner's amenities including indoor and outdoor pools, world-class golf courses, Lake Galena for boating and fishing, and horseback riding. Historic downtown Galena is just 10 minutes away.
We LOVE this place, but it may not be suitable for everyone. Please note:
- We’re in the woods. Expect bugs outside and occasionally inside, despite our best efforts in pest control.
- We love babies and dogs, but take caution with young children or pets due to safety of the spiral staircase.
- There is a gravel sloped walk from the parking area.
- No full sized oven in the kitchenette - however the microwave is also a convection oven and a pizza pizzazz is available for small needs.

I was blown away by the UFO. The property is absolutely charming. The house was incredibly clean, and the attention to detail by the host was top notch. The UFO is an absolute gem.

It was a seamless process and a beautiful, relaxing stay. The property had everything we needed. Loved the record player and hot tub. I feel like I slept in a treehouse! It was wonderful to have access to the Owner’s Lodge (pool, basketball and tennis/raquetball courts). Highly recommend!

The UFO was AMAZING. Warm and Cozy vibes, genuinely felt like a second home and were so sad to leave. BUT WE WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK. Thank you for all the work you put into the home and all the helpful little notes around the home . If anyone needs a sign in whether to book this place or not this is it. 10/10 Experience!
