Longwood Hideaway - A Warm, Elegant Retreat for Rest & Restoration

Welcome to Longwood Hideaway, a serene, designer - curated retreat tucked into the rolling hills of Galena Territory. This warm, elegant home is thoughtfully styled for comfort, beauty, and effortless hospitality - the perfect place to rest, restore, and reconnect.

Wake up to golden morning light drifting across the trees. Enjoy slow coffee on the deck. Hike the wooded trails, golf at the General, enjoy the pools, gym, at the owner's club, rent a boat at the marina for an evening of fishing. Reserve a pickle ball and tennis court for an afternoon or horseback ride at the Shanandoah Riding Center. After a full day of activities, come back to the Longwood Hideaway and enjoy a glass of wine in the screened in porch or hot tub. Once inside for the evening, enjoy the many games, puzzles, or a game of pool and card games.

Inside, you'll find beautifully appointed 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. Two bedrooms have attached baths, and two bedrooms have baths that are adjacent. You'll find three comfortable gathering spaces, and thoughtful touches that make your stay feel cared for. From the well-equipped kitchen to the cozy bedrooms and spa-inspired baths, everything is designed to feel calm clean, and gracious.

Whether you are exploring Galena, enjoying the Territory amenities, or simply savoring quiet moments inside this warm elegant space, Longwood Hideaway is a place to breathe, unwind, and feel beautifully at home.

We had the best girls’ weekend at the Longwood Hideaway! There were 7 of us, and the house was absolutely perfect for our group. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time together.The home was spotless, and you can tell the hosts really care about the details. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and there were plenty of cozy spaces to sit, chat, and just be together. We especially loved how peaceful and private the setting felt—like our own little retreat tucked away from the world.Communication was easy, check-in was seamless, and everything matched the listing exactly. We spent our time laughing, catching up, and making memories, and this home truly made it all even more special.Highly recommend for a girls’ getaway or any group looking for a relaxing, beautiful place to stay. We would absolutely come back again!

Beautiful property! Great location! Would definitely recommend. Loved the screened in room. Was a bit cool outside, a nice touch would be a gas fire feature or heaters. We still sat in the screened room, even in the cold

Our group of 8 very much enjoyed our stay. The house and property are beautiful, clean, and very well stocked with every kitchen/bath items you may need. Lots of pantry items such a coffee, tea and spices as well. We didn't use the hot tub, but the fire pit was very enjoyable during the evenings. The stones are more comfortable to sit on than they appear. The owner is absolutely fabulous! Very responsive and got back to me within minutes on any questions I had. Would without a doubt recommend this property to anyone visit the Galena area.

Annual Family Vacation

What a great family vacation! The home was perfect for our multi generational family getaway! Ages 3 months to 65 years old. One family used the upstairs, one the main level and the other downstairs. We all enjoyed hanging out in the main level dining and living area. Many great meals were cooked and enjoyed together. And lots of fun on the deck and in the yard. I would highly recommend this house- very clean, had everything we needed, communication with the owner was great, and space was perfect for our family. We would definitely come back.

Beautiful property

Beautiful house that was very open and with 10 people it wasn't crowded at all. Pool table, hot tub, fireplace and board games were just a few perks. We humg downstairs and watched tv and played cards, cooked meals in the spacious kitchen and watxjed the wildlife. I would loce to retuen in the summer time.

Great rental house!

After coming to the territory for 35 years, this is the nicest house we’ve stayed in! The house was so clean! The furniture was in great shape and comfortable. The kitchen was really very well stocked. The house was beautifully decorated. The extra touches (lavender sachets in closets, bathroom supplies, fans for every room, etc) were greatly appreciated!

Great house and location in Galena!

We stayed with a group of 8 adults, teens, and kids. We loved that there was plenty of space for everyone! The house is very well equipped, and we made great use of the firepit and hot tub. We also utilized the clubhouse and community pool (extra day passes are just $5/day). Communication with the owners was easy, and check in/out was a breeze. We hope to be back!

Great Vacation

We really enjoyed our stay at the Longwood Hideaway! It is a great house with lots of space. It is very well stocked. My only complaint is the upstairs mattress should be replaced. Other than that, we loved it and would recommend this home to anyone.

Longwood Hideaway was perfect

We thoroughly enjoyed Longwood Hideaway for our annual girls trip. The screened in porch saw lots of morning coffee chats and games. The space allowed us plenty of room to stretch out and not be in each others way.
