About this house rental

Welcome to Timber Ridge - a 3-story custom-built home nestled in the woods on 4 secluded acres surrounded by greenspace. (Not Pet Friendly)

Explore the sprawling property with a stroll down "Miner's Way," a short nature trail along the wooded edge of the yard. Spend the evening seated around the campfire or take in the incredible view of the stars while soaking in the 7-person hot tub. Choose from 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 and just the right size for your tiny tykes. Tweens & teens will love to escape to “Twigs” Game Room, located outside just off the garage, which 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+ nostalgic arcade games that parents will love too!

Timber Ridge offers guests plenty of quiet spaces to retreat and 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 that is 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 available in the theater as well. 2 of the lower-level bedrooms have private access to the ground-level patio and 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 is fully equipped with 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.

You will have access to the GTA Owners Club while staying with us. The indoor pool is open year-round, and the outdoor pool is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. The club is an exclusive amenity that can be used by only Galena Territory property owners and their guests. The Owners' Club includes an indoor swimming pool, an outdoor swimming pool w/slides, a kiddie pool, a fitness room, a game room, indoor/outdoor basketball courts, tennis courts, a seasonal snack bar, free WiFi, and an outdoor playground.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was the first time my parents, sisters and I have been together on vacation in almost 40 years, and Timber Ridge proved to be the perfect property for our group.The home is nestled in the woods at the back of a private cul-de-sac providing a serene, peaceful setting for gatherings. The rooms are clean and inviting and the furnishings are comfortable. The kids loved the lower level, with the bunk house, theater room, and easy access to the hot tub. The game room next to the garage was a great escape for the younger kids too! If I had to post any negatives, it would be the pillows and the tub in the main floor bedroom. The pillows were flat and could probably use replacing, and the tub has a slow drain so my wife and I were standing in 2" of water after every shower. Small issues to be sure, but worth noting.We would certainly return to Timber Ridge in the future and recommend this property to anyone looking for a property to accommodate a large group.

Adults loved the hot tub, fire pit, comfortable beds, well-stocked kitchen and huge dining room table. Access to owner's club with pools, courts & fitness center was a nice perk too! A little pricey but we made some great memories- something for everyone!
