Private 2 Acres! Fire Pit, Hot Tub, Game Room AND Movie Room, Bunk Room!

Welcome to Timber Ridge, nestled in the woods on four secluded acres surrounded by green space. We are not Pet-Friendly!

Explore the sprawling property with a stroll down "Miner's Way," a short trail along the wooded property. Spend the evening seated around the fire or take in the incredible starry skies while soaking in the 7-person hot tub. Enjoy hundreds of movies on the DVR for family movie night in our cozy "Cedar Theater," or stream your favorite shows on our Roku TVs.

The kids will love playtime at "Saplings"- their own secret playroom tucked under the stairs for tykes. Tweens & teens will love to escape to “Twigs” Game Room, located outside in the garage, features a 2-player electronic shootout basketball game, bumper pool, darts, mini shuffleboard, hook & ring, and a 2-joystick video game console loaded with 2,000+ arcade games (parents will love too)!

Timber Ridge offers guests plenty of quiet spaces to rest comfortably. There are 3 queen suites (Pine, Walnut & Oak) with private baths on each level of the home. The main level suite features a private balcony and attached nursery (Seedlings) with pack and play, changing table, baby gates & child-size stowaway cot. The spacious half bathroom on the main level accommodates a washer/dryer available for guest use. The lower level features two queen bedrooms (Hickory & Maple) that share a full bath, in addition to 2 sets of heavy-duty twin bunk beds (top bunks can support adults up to 300 lbs.) in Slumber Jacks bunk room, a semi-private space located just off the home theater. A queen sofa sleeper is in the theater too. 2 of the lower-level bedrooms have private access to the ground-level patio w/walkway to the hot tub.
The impressive great room, with a wood-burning fireplace, provides access to a large deck perfect for grilling and outdoor dining. The kitchen has everything you need to cook homemade meals for a crowd, including plenty of extra dishes to accommodate large groups. The dining room hosts a massive hand-crafted table with seating for 12 and access to the cozy screen porch.

You will have access to the GTA Owners Club while staying with us. The indoor pool is open year-round, and the outdoor pool is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The club is an exclusive amenity that can only be used by Galena Territory property owners and their guests. The Club includes an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor swimming pool w/slides, a kiddie pool, a fitness room, a game room, indoor/outdoor basketball courts, tennis courts, a seasonal snack bar, free WiFi, and an outdoor playground.

Great place for a family vacation!

We had 12 family members staying at this lovely home! It was large enough to accommodate all of us. There was so much to see in this thoughtful 6 bedroom home. I especially liked the theater room and the screen porch! We will be going back soon I hope.

Love Timber Ridge

This is the 5th year our family stayed at Timber Ridge to celebrate Christmas and we’ll keep coming back. The game room and Sapling room are great for keeping kids entertained. The home is secluded behind trees and has beautiful surroundings. The dining room and table is large enough for everyone. The beds are the most comfortable of any rental we’ve stayed at. Our family loves this house.

Sooooooo PERFECT!!!

Our extended family of 11 (4 - 69) LOVED our long weekend together at Timber Ridge!!! The 5 kids had fun with ALL the special spots…the Secret Store, the Game Room, the Movie Theater, the Fire Pit and the Hot Tub!!! Lots of spaces for the adults to relax in as well. We were enchanted by the history of the home and all the little touches that went into creating such a unique getaway haven. We were all sad when it was time to ring the bell and say good-bye…..but we’ll be back for sure!!!

Great Getaway

Our family of 8 adults and 4 kids, aged 7-11, had a wonderful weekend. It was too cold for outdoor activity but there was lots to keep everybody entertained in the roomy house and separate game room. We were gathering for a late Christmas celebration and were happy to see the Christmas tree and decorations around the house. We contacted the service for early check-in, and again with a problem with the game room door lock, and our concerns were handled quickly and courteously. We would consider using this house again and recommend it to others.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the perfect place for a family of 12 to enjoy the area of Galena. The various rooms allowed for family to find a place for their own needs as well as the living room that allowed for all of us to gather together. The game room and toy area under the stairs was a hit with the children along with the movie theatre. The screened in porch was a perfect place to begin the morning with the sunrise. The owners have made this place feel like home and we appreciate them opening it up for rental for us to enjoy.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our group had an absolutely excellent stay at Timber ridge! There were three families, all with small children and we did not feel short on space at any moment during our stay! There was plenty for all the kids to do, and space for the adults to be away from children while they were sleeping. The game room was super fun for everyone and the playroom under the stairs was so fun for our children of varying ages! We super appreciated the large enough table to be able to fit all of our guests and all of the accommodations made for even our littlest group member. Linda was very helpful during our stay and answered questions promptly. We had a wonderful experience and stay at Timber Ridge and would absolutely stay again!

Basswood Lane was an amazing stay! We visited Galena and stayed at this home, which absolutely met all of our needs. When it came to the cleanliness and all the amenities, the house has to offer. It was a perfect home for all of our families. Downtown is a 15 minute drive and close to a bunch of shops and eatery in town. Weather came to the hot tub, the movie theater room or the amazing dining room table. All we did was laugh and enjoy our time at this house. Such a cool spot. All of our kids loved it and we created some great memories this weekend thank you for letting us stay at your home and I 10 out of 10. Recommend this house. PS this was also one of the first houses that I have ever been to that legit had everything that you have at your own home. Pots pans, utensils, you name it this house had it. Look forward to staying here again in the future.

Reviewer Comments: Timber Ridge was the perfect setting for our family reunion of 11 adults to have conversations and lots of laughs We all could sit around together in the living room in front of the fire place. We all fit around the dining room table. We all fit on the patio deck at the same time. We each had a real bed and woke up comfortably refreshed. Plenty of bathrooms. The decor was homey. We cooked and ate most every meal from the well equipped kitchen. The beautiful golf course was down the street and the interesting street of shops in Galena was a short drive. We would stay again in this beautiful treetops setting, in a heartbeat.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the first time my parents, sisters and I have been together on vacation in almost 40 years, and Timber Ridge proved to be the perfect property for our group.The home is nestled in the woods at the back of a private cul-de-sac providing a serene, peaceful setting for gatherings. The rooms are clean and inviting and the furnishings are comfortable. The kids loved the lower level, with the bunk house, theater room, and easy access to the hot tub. The game room next to the garage was a great escape for the younger kids too! If I had to post any negatives, it would be the pillows and the tub in the main floor bedroom. The pillows were flat and could probably use replacing, and the tub has a slow drain so my wife and I were standing in 2" of water after every shower. Small issues to be sure, but worth noting.We would certainly return to Timber Ridge in the future and recommend this property to anyone looking for a property to accommodate a large group.
