We invite you to Vacay at Thunder Bay for your next Galena getaway.

Thunder Bay Ridge is a 3 bedroom / 4.5 bathroom home, sleeps up to 8 guests max. Please note, this home is not pet-friendly.

As you enter Thunder Bay Ridge, the first thing you’ll notice, aside from the views, is how bright, airy, and comfortable this home is. On the main-level, retreat to the sunken main living room featuring comfortable seating for all and a wood-burning fireplace – perfect space to enjoy a cold winter night with a fire or a movie night with entire family. For the cooks, the kitchen has everything you need to make all the meals for your stay, along with a gas grill located on the deck. And, for the coffee lovers, delight knowing that you have options – a Keurig and traditional coffee maker in the kitchen + a bonus coffee bar in the lower level with a Nespresso machine (bring your favorite Vertuo pods!), milk frother, and syrups to add your favorite flavors. On the main floor is one of the Primary bedrooms with a King bed and ensuite bathroom featuring a Kohler jetted air tub, and a deck to take in the morning views. Head on out to the screened porch to enjoy the sounds of summer bug free! Lastly, a half bathroom is on this floor so guests staying on the main floor will not need to share their bathroom!

Head on upstairs to find two more bedrooms including the 2nd Primary Suite featuring a King bed and private deck off the bedroom to take in the views, and a large ensuite bathroom with his & hers sinks, a separate toilet room, and makeup corner to get ready for the day.

At the top of the landing, you’ll find a desk to work from if you also need to work while on vacation.

Head downstairs to the family room for fun, games, and relaxation. Fire up the built-in linear electric fireplace to take the chill out of the air in the cooler months or some ambience while battling your friends and family to a game of pool, ping pong, Pong, or one of the many board games. The lower level also features a large flat screen TV with a fantastic sound bar – perfect for the kids to watch their favorite movie. Additionally, the sofa converts into a sleeper sofa for an additional sleeping area. There is also a full bathroom located off the family room featuring a rain shower and heated towel rack, perfect for those using the sleeper sofa or to rinse off before heading into the hot tub.

So much to do!

We loved our stay! The hot tub was amazing. Nightly fires and s’mores at the firepit were fun. This is a lovely property with great amenities. Each bedroom had an en suite and all were similar sized (I typically find this difficult to find and my twins compete over rooms…this time everyone was happy!). Loved playing pool & pingpong with the family. Great memories were made. Communication was fantastic!! Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful Girlfriends Holiday

The house was beautiful! There were so many nice touches that made us feel right at home. We all enjoy cooking so we planned to make a lot of our meals at the house and the well equipped kitchen did not disappoint. The property the house sits on is gorgeous too. All of the amenities from the fireplace, hot tub, pool table, and outdoor area all made this a fantastic getaway.

Wonderful stay and communicative host

Had a lovely stay. Everything was exactly as described.Got a nice call a few days before from Kristin explaining everything and making sure any questions were answered. Finding the place check-in was easy (note: google maps has the address slightly wrong... but it's just around the corner once you're there). Living space, beds, kitchen were all good. But the real star on a 0F evening was the hot tub! We had a wonderful time hanging out in the hot n cold. Thanks for the great stay!

Could not have asked for more

We had a group of six adults that thourghly enjoyed our stay in this home with plenty of room for all. Every room was immaculate and well stocked with excellent linens, towels and comfortable beds.The kitchen was probably the best stocked of any we have rented. The beautiful views and surrounding nature combined with the proximity to Galena make this one tough to beat. I would not hesitate to reccomend this property to friends and family and we are already looking at dates for next year.

Sunny Days and Peace Filled Nights

The house is elegant-- very tastefully designed and decorated and well organized. The windows and sky lights give a spacious feeling and you feel like you are outside inside. The view is beautiful. We enjoyed seeing the mist over the trees in the early morning hours. We came to just unwind. We had no schedule. It was a great retreat. The drawback to the house, if you are elderly, is 2 of the bedrooms are up a flight of stairs and one of the upstairs beds is quite high. I celebrated my 83rd birthday with my daughter and her friend at the house. It was awesome!

GREAT STAY IN GALENA

My family members and I very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The weather was nothing to smile about-- it seemed SO WINDY up on the hill! Because of this, we didn't venture into the outdoor hot tub. The home was very clean and extremely well equipped with what we needed during our stay. One criticism: the Keurig one-cupper could use replacement. Also, we had trouble starting a fire, since the damper had been left open and it seemed that something was clogging up the chimney. We didn't feel the urgency to light a fire, so no biggie! Also, our contact person was VERY MUCH available if we really wanted that fire. I would highly recommend this home, as the spaciousness and jacuzzi tubs were well used by my family:)
