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

Discounted Golf - Guests may purchase paper golf vouchers offering preferred rates and tee-time benefits at Eagle Ridge Resort’s The General, North Course and South Course. Vouchers must be purchased before your stay and mailed to you prior to arrival. Please contact us well in advance for details.

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.

As our guest, you’ll have access to the Galena Territory Owners’ Club, featuring indoor and seasonal outdoor pools, waterslides, a kiddie pool, fitness and game rooms, basketball and tennis courts, playground, WiFi, and more.

    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.

    The house and location were amazing! Even better than the photos! Plenty of spaces inside and out for our entire group to gather. The location makes it feel like you’re in your own private treehouse, very serene. The house is decorated with fun antique vignettes. Kids had fun in the game room. Everyone loved relaxing on the screened in porch.

The home is warm and cozy in a secluded, wooded area. The fire is perfect for snowy nights, the home theater is great for watching favorite holiday flicks. We always have dinner together at one of the many restaurants in downtown Galena. The host is responsive and the home is always clean.

    I would highly recommend this house! We rented this house for a Senior Mom/Daughter trip. There were 4 daughters and 4 moms and this house couldn’t have been more perfect. The girls loved the bunk room and us adults all had our room and bathroom. The large dining room table was perfect for games and the living room was enough room for us all to relax. The decorating and different themed rooms was so neat. We loved the rustic feel. Pictures don’t do it justice. The garage with the games was a nice added touch. It was close to Galena to enjoy some shopping and dining too. We enjoyed looking at the book about the family making the home their own. The only negative was we wished we had more time there. We will definitely be back! Thank you to the family for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Lot of space, perfectly clean, has everything we needed, very cozy, beautiful quiet setting. Owners complex was great for the kids. Unfortunately we left one of our bags there and discovered only when we returned home, and the owner was incredibly gracious and went way out of his way to make sure we got it back quickly. Highly recommend this place if you’re going to galena and we will definitely return. If I could give it more than 5 starts I would.

    Very cutely decorated. Very comfortable couches and beds. The understairs playroom was a hit for the little ones and the game room was fun for the older ones. We really enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pool at the owners club. We also enjoyed the hot tub. The only issue we had was the carpet felt damp in areas of the basement and there were some ants in the kitchen. Otherwise it was clean and very accommodating for a family with young children. We would definitely stay there again.

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!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. 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.
