This beautifully furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat offers the ideal blend of comfort, privacy, and access to world-class amenities, making it a favorite for families, couples, and adventure seekers alike.

Step inside and experience the inviting warmth of vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and an open-concept layout that connects the living room, dining room, and fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a farm sink, soft-close drawers, a pantry, and both drip and Keurig coffee makers—ideal for casual breakfasts or evening gatherings.

The main-level primary suite offers a peaceful sanctuary with a smart TV and easy access to the main living spaces. Enjoy stunning sunsets and serene forest views from the expansive back porch, or unwind in the vaulted-ceiling 3-season room with a comfortable couch, dining table, and TV.

Downstairs, the fully exposed lower level includes two additional bedrooms, a second living area with a smart TV, a sofa sleeper, laundry room, and direct access to a second covered porch. It’s the perfect space for kids, extended family, or friends traveling together.

The fun continues in the detached 2-car garage, converted into a recreation space complete with a second fridge, ping pong table, foosball, and plenty of games.

Pool was closed due to timing of our stay, but who would have thought it was going to be 90 in October. Rooms were great size and the deck was perfect to enjoy. Location to down town was great only being 8 -10min drive. Kitchen had everything you would need to prep and cook.

Getaway on Wheatstrand was a wonderful location for a quick trip during the week of Christmas. Everything was very clean and there were plenty of amenities within the house. It was a very cozy and comfortable home, had a great view of the Galena Territory, and walkable distance from the Owner's Club. I'm certain we'll be back!
