Cozy nights w/Fire or in the covered Hot Tub! Welcome to 4 BR Westaway!

Welcome to WestAway! Get away from it all in this 4 bedroom (2-king and 2-queen), 4.5 bath home. Our home has many updates from the kitchen, bedrooms/bathrooms, flooring, and decking . Excellent location found in the resort core between the North and South golf courses-close to walking paths.

WestAway is an open floor plan. Some featured highlights are remodeled main level powder room with plank board accent wall, carpet in family room, flooring , built in table that connects the family room to the kitchen, stainless steel appliances including a double oven, quartz counter tops, working island, and FULLY stocked for all your cooking needs (take a look at what guests are saying in their reviews!)! "This is better than our own kitchen at home!" Enjoy mornings with a cup of coffee in front of the stone, gas fireplace or on one of our porches. Play cards at the kitchen table while still engaged in conversation with those in the kitchen and family room.

The family room includes a 60" flat screen tv. Need a little private time? The loft offers a quiet place for socializing, reading and relaxing. There is also a family gathering space in the lower level with a 55" flat screen TV along with a Foosball table. A queen sofa sleeper is available for those extra guests. You'll get beautiful views of nature from the screened in porch located on the main level deck or relax your muscles in our covered hot tub on the lower deck overlooking a nature-filled back yard.

Enjoy Access to the GTA Owners Club while staying with us. The indoor pool is open year-round and the outdoor pool is open Memorial Day - Labor Day.

We had a great time! The house had everything we needed. It was well stocked, we each had our own bedroom and bathroom which was awesome! The location was also great. We went skiing one day and went downtown to the shops another day. The house is centrally located so it was easy to get around.

We had a fantastic girl's weekend here! The house was clean, spacious and perfectly stocked for cooking/eating. It is absolutely adorable and set us so nicely for visiting with friends/family but also great bedrooms/bathrooms for personal space. Management was great. The hot tub was a fun addition as well! I would highly recommend to all!

Wonderful mother, daughter, sister trip
Such a fun trip to Galena and the house was perfect for our time together! So much space to enjoy and the mornings spent on the deck were priceless as we witnessed a momma doe tending to her fawns, wild turkey marching in a line in the brush, and hummingbirds who greeted us at eye level. Unforgettable memories. Thanks!

We had an amazing stay. Check-in was easy. The house was clean and inviting. We loved sitting in the hot tub winding down at the end of the night. The kids enjoyed all the games the house had and swimming at the clubhouse pool. Thank you for sharing your home with our family!

5 Star Stay!
The Westaway property was ideal for us. Check in instructions were explicit and the location was ideal. It was in a quiet cul-de-sac just a few miles from Galena. We have never stayed at a rental with so many amenities. The home was exceptionally clean. It was a wonderful fit for our party of eight and hope we can return again someday.

Our Favorite Galena Rental
This is our 4th stay at Westaway. We have stayed at many rentals in Galena, and none compare with this beautiful home. It is stocked with extras galore - coffee, games, pool towels and pool bags, toiletries in the bathrooms, and kitchen supplies most other homes do not stock, just to name a few. Clean and comfortable with a fantastic screen porch, which our family enjoys every evening after dinner. Fantastic owners with excellent communication and easy to work with. They go above and beyond, and it shows in every aspect of this rental. We will be back for a 5th year! Do not hesitate to book this home for your next Galena visit!

Westaway Friends Getaway
We stayed at Westaway with friends this past weekend. The area around the property is beautiful with scenic rolling hills. It is also very near the shopping, history and other attractions of Galena. The hosts were proactive in sending us directions and tips to get the most out of the house and our stay there and seemed genuinely concerned that we were comfortable and at home at Westaway. When we arrived we found everything to be very clean and in working order. The rooms were exactly as pictured on the app. Upon going to get our parking passes, we found the staff at the clubhouse to be very friendly and accommodating. (The trip to the clubhouse is worth it for the view—lots of great selfie and other picture opportunities.) The kitchen was well-stocked with all appliances and utensils we needed. The bedrooms were cozy and the sheets were soft. The great room and other common areas had many different comfortable seating options and neat personal touches left by the hosts. Lots of room to spread out. In our time, we had occasion to go to the clubhouse to use the pool and we also used the hot tub. The hosts had left us everything we needed for both. They also left games and books about the area for relaxing. Having gone into town to shop, I recommend the US Grant House and Museum if you are into history, the Blaum Brothers Distillery if you are into tours and drinks (Gary the tour guide is super) and the trolley tours of Galena to get acquainted with the town.)
