The beautiful Chalet is charming inside and out; nestled in the woods and located with the most scenic view Lake Galena has to offer. The chalet is made with the highest quality detail. There is a 2000 sq ft wrap around deck that over looks Lake Galena. Nap in the hammock in the woods, or watch the bald eagles soar over the Lake from the back deck. Gourmet chefs kitchen. Wonderful place for a family or group gathering. The inside of the chalet boasts European influenced wood-working and architecture throughout. The interior design is a beautiful fusion of rustic-modern. The home has a reclaimed dining table with seating for 10 people; dueling sofas aside the stone, wood-burning fireplace; and a lower level game & billiards area surrounding a decorative wood-burning stove that can also fit up to 10 people comfortably. We often have wild turkeys, deer, eagles and a variety of birds visit our property. There are various outdoor areas for taking in all the nature that this charming property has to offer. Sit by the front fountain listening to the trickling water and watching the hummingbirds in the chalet’s garden. There is a seasonal rotating bloom. We have newly installed gig-speed fiber internet available and a work loft with desk. Perfect for a work-remote environment while traveling! Please note before booking; the home is an older home, and with that comes charm that is unable to be built in modern day homes. There is no central air however there is a powerful wall unit system which keeps the home very pleasant. Feel free to read the reviews. Our previous guests have provided thorough recommendations reflecting back on the detail and enjoyment they experienced from our home. We’ve put a lot of thought and care into it to make it an extra special experience for our guests. Book your reservation today and enjoy a relaxing and peaceful getaway at the Galena Chalet.

Stephanie was an amazing property manager! She was very accommodating and a great communicator! Upon walking down the front steps, you immediately feel as if you’re walking into a French cottage. It’s straight out of a storybook! The decks were huge with gorgeous views of the lake. The home felt so quant and cozy. ##### Danielle P.

The Chalet is just so amazing in so many ways. Breathtaking views, immaculate inside, and everything that you can think of is there. (or at least that’s how we felt) We even brought sleds for our grandkids, but they already had them there. Stephanie responded quickly to our questions and even had people shoveling and salting the driveway and sidewalks for us the day we left after the snow. My grandson even said he would give us his Christmas money so that we can come again! ##### Lisa B. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy A. 12 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Galena Girls Birthday Trip 2023 The house and views are beautiful! It’s a very unique property set down into a wooded area with views of the lake. It’s very well appointed, clean, charming and comfortable. This is a perfect house for friends and family to meet as there are many bedrooms and places to hang out together. There are only 2 and a half bathrooms but they are set up in a way that made it pretty easy for multiple women to get ready. This is an older house so with the charm also comes a couple negatives like no central air and some creaking. There are air conditioners in the main rooms which cooled everything except a couple of the back bedrooms downstairs which got a little warm. Put the morning people in those back bedrooms downstairs under the kitchen because once people are up walking around, you can really hear the creaking. But overall, this was a great place to stay and we hope to come back. ##### Amy A. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Haleigh S. 8 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect family getaway location This is an amazing property and we felt very lucky to have gotten to stay here. The views are incredible, and the house is very spacious. Many reviews mentioned the lack of central A/C, so we were prepared to be hot during a summer weekend in the mid 80s and high humidity, but there wasn't a moment where the house temps were uncomfortable at all. The wall unit is more than sufficient. I'd recommend booking activities well in advance. If you're not familiar, Galena is super busy in the summer and there were a few things we wanted to do that we couldn't because they were booked. My only 4 star rating is for speed of communication. Most of the time Stephanie back to us within an hour or two away, but it did take a couple of days for her to reply to a question about boat rentals that we asked because online info is sparse. If we had gotten her message sooner, we may have been able to rent one during our stay. One other thing to note, if you're not an early riser and you're traveling with people that are, I would recommend being strategic about which room you're in. The basement rooms under the kitchen are \*loud\* in the morning because of the floors are creaking in the kitchen from people walking around. The only thing that blocked out the sound was noise-cancelling airpods with white noise playing. Overall, we loved it and would recommend the place to anyone traveling with a big group that will appreciate the views and character of the house. ##### Haleigh S.

Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jordyn V. 29 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This home is the definition of charm - so many little details and the decor is wonderful. The home is about a 10-15 minute drive into Galena, which worked out really well for our group. We loved the convenience of being only a short drive away while still being in a peaceful neighborhood with a wonderful view of the lake. There is no central A/C in the home, but that wasn't a problem for us as the provided unites kept the home comfortable for us. We closed the blinds when we left during the day which helped keep the great room cool. We especially loved the large dining table - perfect for group dinners and to play games around. We would definitely book this property again for another girls weekend if we ever come back to the Galena area. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f4a73009-6ee5-4005-9011-62bbfb7f661d-1759179374912.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/15a83a48-28d9-4c7f-a2db-ebbfae6dd65c-1759179374841.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a0bf7391-ac81-4dfd-9e56-c09033e93505-1759179374920.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2dc93124-44ff-4f33-9c40-92f320c7478c-1759179375048.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jordyn V.

We would absolutely stay again. Four friends, and it was the perfect mix of togetherness and privacy (with each of us having a room, plus three bathrooms). The house feels privately nestled away in a forested area, with a sweet burbling fountain out front, and we saw turkeys and deer. :). We enjoyed long evenings on the back deck overlooking the lake, or in the great room relaxing on the big couches. The dining room table was perfect for meals at one end and we actively worked a jigsaw at the other. The large kitchen was well stocked for meals, and coffee in the morning. It’s a lovely, old-world-style chalet, close enough to Galena for shopping and dining but far enough way to serve as a sanctuary. Our host was quick to answer questions and highly courteous and accommodating. You can’t go wrong staying here. ##### Bonnie H.

There were so many beds, extra pack n plays and high chairs…things that you need, but don’t need to bring. We would love to come back and stay here again! ##### Ashley B.

We chose to go during the winter to watch the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. Lots to do before the game and in town. The property is as beautiful in Winter as it is during the Summer. ##### Greg B.
