Saltwater Pool Now Open • Hot Tub • Sauna • Observatory Tower

Set on its own hilltop in The Galena Territory, Tower House is all about privacy, views, and a setting that feels completely removed while still being just minutes from town.

The pool is now open for the season. Early spring, many guests enjoy it as a cold plunge—especially paired with the cedar sauna. If you prefer it heated, that’s available for early-season stays for an additional fee, just let us know in advance.

The property itself is what people remember most. Wide-open views, quiet surroundings, and regular wildlife—cow, deer, wild turkey, birds all moving through the hills. The landscaping has been thoughtfully built out with wildflowers, hydrangeas and boxwoods around the pool, weeping willows in the back, and flowering trees out front.

Inside, the home is designed for groups who want to be together without feeling on top of each other. There are four bedrooms, multiple living spaces, and an easy flow between indoor and outdoor areas. It works just as well for a long dinner with friends as it does for a quiet morning overlooking the hills.

What makes this place different are the features you don’t usually find together: a private saltwater pool, hot tub, outdoor cedar sauna, and a true observatory tower with 360° views. Being in a certified Dark Sky community, the stargazing here is something people don’t expect—and end up talking about long after.

The home sleeps 10 comfortably (3 kings + 2 queens) and includes a fully equipped kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining, fireplace, 75” TV, and Bang & Olufsen sound system. Interiors are currently being refreshed with updated furnishings and finishes, with new photos coming soon.

You’re a short drive from downtown Galena and Chestnut Mountain Resort, along with golf, the marina, and trails—but most guests end up spending more time at the house than they planned.

There’s also an EV charger, high-speed WiFi, keyless entry, fire pit, and access to the Owners Club with pools, fitness, and courts, plus Lake Galena.
