Longwood Hideaway - A Warm, Elegant Retreat for Rest & Restoration

Welcome to Longwood Hideaway, a serene, designer - curated retreat tucked into the rolling hills of Galena Territory. This warm, elegant home is thoughtfully styled for comfort, beauty, and effortless hospitality - the perfect place to rest, restore, and reconnect.

Wake up to golden morning light drifting across the trees. Enjoy slow coffee on the deck. Hike the wooded trails, golf at the General, enjoy the pools, gym, at the owner's club, rent a boat at the marina for an evening of fishing. Reserve a pickle ball and tennis court for an afternoon or horseback ride at the Shanandoah Riding Center. After a full day of activities, come back to the Longwood Hideaway and enjoy a glass of wine in the screened in porch or hot tub. Once inside for the evening, enjoy the many games, puzzles, or a game of pool and card games.

Inside, you'll find beautifully appointed 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. Two bedrooms have attached baths, and two bedrooms have baths that are adjacent. You'll find three comfortable gathering spaces, and thoughtful touches that make your stay feel cared for. From the well-equipped kitchen to the cozy bedrooms and spa-inspired baths, everything is designed to feel calm clean, and gracious.

Whether you are exploring Galena, enjoying the Territory amenities, or simply savoring quiet moments inside this warm elegant space, Longwood Hideaway is a place to breathe, unwind, and feel beautifully at home.

First, the house is beautiful. It is set back in a very picturesque setting with lots of trees around. The hot tub was beautiful and worked great. Everything was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. We were a party of eight having a family reunion and it honestly could not have been any better. We hope to be back again soon!

One of my favorite house rentals yet in Galena! What a lovely place! So much space, hot tub easy location to enjoy, decor point on-would definitely stay here again. Rental experience seemed very personable as well instead of a corporate rental company experience. Everything you need and more
