#Fido Friendly! Resort Core Location! Private Outdoor Hot Tub & Fire Pit!

**Pet-Friendly Wooded Retreat** is just 5.5 miles from Downtown Galena and 3 miles from the GTA Owners Club, nestled in a serene wooded lot near Thunder Bay Falls. Accommodating up to 10 guests (9 in beds), the home features three levels of comfortable living.

*Golf Benefits: Guests have access to our Eagle Ridge Golf Membership with preferred rates and tee times at The General, The North Course and the South Course! Contact us for details.

Upon entering, you'll find a bright living room with a cathedral ceiling, open to the kitchen and dining area. Enjoy the cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace (wood provided) and a flat-screen cable TV. The dining area is well-stocked for entertaining, with direct access to a grill on the deck and a screened porch with seating for six. The main level includes a primary bedroom with a king bed and a jetted tub. Upstairs, a private bedroom with an ensuite bathroom offers solitude, while the lower level includes two additional bedrooms—one with a queen bed and the other with three twin beds—along with a full bathroom. A high chair and pack & play are available (bring bedding). The family room also has a game table, air hockey, and access to the new outdoor hot tub, plus an outdoor fire pit with firewood provided.

Location was great and plenty of room.Nice house but had not been cleaned very well from last guests. There was confetti dotted around the floor, the kitchen table and countertops were not clean and there was a lot of pet hair on the rugs and carpets.Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay.
