Amazing Galena retreat with modern conveniences! Our Talisman home is situated on almost an acre w/a wooded area to the rear of the property and a horse/walking trail immediately adjacent to the side of the house. The home offers 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 2 fireplaces. The main level living room has a floor-to-ceiling limestone wood-burning fireplace and flat screen 55" TV. Our large kitchen offers abundant natural light and stainless steel appliances and would be a grand place to host your getaway meal. The large, roomy Master Bedroom is located on the upper level of the home and offers a king-size bed with a large flat-screen TV to lay back and view. The master bath offers a great whirlpool tub and shower with a double sink vanity. The main level features a Queen bedroom with en suite bath. When you enter the lower level you will find the family room where you can relax, play games, or watch movies or the big game on the 55" TV and pool table. The lower level is also home to our other Queen bedroom and then our double twin bedroom. This home features a comfortable screened in porch on the main level w/deck and then a great place to sit on the patio below and look out over the yard. The backyard is also the location of our new fire pit - enjoy!

We do allow dogs at our home. Please no more than two pooches at a time during your stay. We will ask you to sign an additional form to allow your pet and there will be an additional $150 pet fee per stay. This is not a deposit and will not be returned.
