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.

Our group of 8 very much enjoyed our stay. The house and property are beautiful, clean, and very well stocked with every kitchen/bath items you may need. Lots of pantry items such a coffee, tea and spices as well. We didn't use the hot tub, but the fire pit was very enjoyable during the evenings. The stones are more comfortable to sit on than they appear. The owner is absolutely fabulous! Very responsive and got back to me within minutes on any questions I had. Would without a doubt recommend this property to anyone visit the Galena area.

We had the best girls’ weekend at the Longwood Hideaway! There were 7 of us, and the house was absolutely perfect for our group. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time together.The home was spotless, and you can tell the hosts really care about the details. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and there were plenty of cozy spaces to sit, chat, and just be together. We especially loved how peaceful and private the setting felt—like our own little retreat tucked away from the world.Communication was easy, check-in was seamless, and everything matched the listing exactly. We spent our time laughing, catching up, and making memories, and this home truly made it all even more special.Highly recommend for a girls’ getaway or any group looking for a relaxing, beautiful place to stay. We would absolutely come back again!
