Creekwood Haven Gem ~ Indoor pool, game room, hiking trails, spa and MORE!

This golf villa is approximately 7 miles or 15 minutes to Downtown Galena. This home is NOT pet friendly.

Creekwood Haven is designed with your comfort in mind. It’s a 2 bedroom, two full bath, split level golf villa with updates throughout. The open concept kitchen (with all new kitchen appliances), dining area and living room flows out to the deck, perfect for breakfast outdoors while enjoying the wooded views of the South Golf Course. Enjoy the complimentary coffee bar and relax by the wood burning fireplace in the living room (we supply the wood). Just off the deck is a gas grill for your use (we supply the propane). The main level bedroom with a super comfortable Queen size bed is just steps from a full bath and the laundry area. The cozy Master bedroom upstairs has vaulted ceilings and a Queen size bed with access to a private bathroom. Overlooking the living room and kitchen is the loft, the perfect sitting area with a sofa that converts to a queen size bed comfortably accommodating 2 more guests. After a busy day in the Galena area, Creekwood Haven is a quiet, relaxing place to come home to!!

As our guest you will have access to the GTA Owners Club. The indoor pool is open year-round and the outdoor pool is open Memorial Day through Labor Day (sometimes longer). 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, outdoor swimming pool w/slides, a kiddie pool, fitness room, game room, indoor/outdoor basketball courts, tennis courts, seasonal snack bar, free WiFi, and outdoor playground. Don’t forget to visit Lake Galena, The Shenandoah Riding Center and hiking trails throughout the 6,800-acre property. Disclaimer: You may not have enough cards for your entire group.

Amazing! Even better than the description. Such an amazing place to stay and excellent communication with the property manager. We will definitely be going back. We stayed 2 nights but that was not long enough. Next time we plan on going for a week! This property is the type of place all you need to bring is your clothes and a toothbrush (honestly they even had toothbrushes and toothpaste too lol). We couldn't believe all the extras they had for us in the home. Board games, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, cleaning supplies, laundry soap, water, snacks, cards, dice, books omg the list goes on and on!!!! I can't say anything bad about the property or the management company! Our code for the door didn't work so i called and they changed the code remotely and we were in within 2 minutes. I can't say enough good things about this place and the company

Beautiful location
We stayed in Galena with another couple to enjoy the fall colors. This property was a great location for us and just the right space for two couples. The drive in the Galena Territories is really lovely and it was nice to be a few minutes outside the touristy town. We wish there had been a fire pit or even a hot tub - the weather was perfect for both! But we had a great time playing cards/games and stargazing. We even used the deck for happy hour since the weather allowed. The place is cute, updated, very clean and super comfortable. The communication with the hosts was very easy and clear. I would absolutely stay at this place again if we go back to the Galena area.

Very responsive
We didn't get to the property until late into the night, when it was dark. We were having difficulty finding the unit in the dark. We reached out to the owner and she immediately shared the phone number and she helped us find the correct unit and helped us get into the unit as well over the phone. Very responsive and patient with us.

Satisfied but there are exceptions.
Was beautiful and very, very clean. It had everything we needed. Directions said to briing bedding for the sofa bed and there was the necessary bedding there. So what we brought was a waste of time. It was recommended we bring paper goods. Again, not needed. Wifi was not good. Expected it to be closer to the owners club where the pool was. We had to drive there. The pool was very crowded. Not as close to Galena as I expected. Overall it was very comfortable.

Wonderful, inviting and clean
We had a wonderful stay at Creekwood 32, and would absolutely stay again. For a family of 6, with 4 little ones, it worked perfectly. The house was clean and well stocked with many basic essentials (spices, coffee filters, all the kitchen things you need for most dinners). The back patio was very nice and the kids had a blast catching frogs all week. Would definitely recommend.

We had 20 members of our family for the 4th of July get together in Galena. Two of us own places but we needed more beds, so we rented 32 Creekwood. It was perfect. We were very happy to have more refrigerator space.

My mother-in-law, two sisters-in-law, and I had a lovely weekend at Creekwood. The townhome had all the amenities and so much more. Lovely layout, very comfortable, exquisite bathrooms, coffee bar and Keurig, and varieties of tea…a treat for a tea drinker like me! A variety of board games for your evening pleasure, and a private deck. We had a lovely time and would definitely come again!

The fireplace was a great treat on a cold winter get-a-way. We loved the quiet space. We really enjoyed the opportunity to go to the owners club. Our only surprise was the number of stairs to get to the property. IT would be good for others to know about the stairs if they have mobility issues.
