4 Bedroom Cabin in The Galena Territory, Galena
Step into Emberwood Lodge and feel the week start to loosen its grip. This 4-bedroom luxury retreat for 10 guests sits tucked among the wooded hills just outside Galena — designed for the kind of group trip that earns a permanent place in the group chat. The design is dramatic and deliberate: cottage core with genuine conviction — botanical prints, plush layered textiles, statement lighting, and a fireplace at the center of it all.
Emberwood Lodge by Wildwood Escapes
Spread across nearly 3,000 sq ft of warm, lodge-inspired living, Emberwood comfortably sleeps 10 guests across 4 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Three of the bedrooms are King suites, each with its own private en-suite bathroom — no sharing, no waiting, no morning hallway traffic. The fourth bedroom and an additional half bath round out the layout.
The open main living area is built for gathering — warm textures, natural light, and a layout that makes "everyone in one place" actually feel good. The fully equipped kitchen handles everything from lazy Saturday breakfasts to big group dinners with ease.
The property also has a private hot tub. A quick heads-up: it's functional and clean, but on the older side — a brand new replacement is on order for summer 2026. Pricing has been adjusted to reflect its current condition, so you're not paying for something that's not yet there.
Please note that three closets throughout the home are locked for owner storage. You'll have full access to the entire rest of the property.
The property is pet-friendly (up to 2 dogs welcome; a $100/dog/stay fee applies) with outdoor space your four-legged guests will love too.
