The Collection Vacation Homes - Galena

🤫 Want to know Galena's best-kept summer secret?

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗱𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸.

School's out, the sun's up, and Tuesday–Thursday is when Galena is at its absolute best — quiet Main Street strolls, wide-open tee times at Eagle Ridge, and hiking trails you'll practically have to yourselves.

Spend the day at the GTA Owners Club outdoor pool, on the pickleball courts, or out on Lake Galena — then cap it off with a goat trek at Hoof It Goat Treks or Goat Yoga at Galena Goat Yoga.

Pack up the kids (and the dog 🐾) and trade the city for The Galena Territory — just under 3 hours from Chicago, close enough for a spontaneous escape, far enough to feel like a real getaway.

☀️ Midweek stays from $199/night — for a hot tub home that runs $499 on Saturdays. Yes, really.

🏡 20 handpicked homes in The Galena Territory

👨👩👧👦 Game rooms, fire pits, pool & pickleball access & room for everyone

Something big just landed in Galena… and this one was built for memory-making.

🔥 Introducing Timberon Lodge — our newest getaway in The Galena Territory.

Think:
• slow mornings with coffee in the trees
• game nights that turn competitive fast
• evenings around the fire table making s’mores with the kids
• and the kind of weekends where nobody wants to leave

We designed Timberon Lodge for families and groups who want space to reconnect — without sacrificing comfort, style, or the little details that make a stay feel special.

And yes… there’s a hot tub. 😉

We’ll be sharing more photos this week, but early access is officially live now for our followers and past guests before summer dates disappear.
