On the main floor, you’ll find cozy living space and kitchen along with one bedroom. The main level is open and modern, featuring a wood-burning fireplace, smart TV, and a large sofa and side chairs. The sofa is a sleeper bed, offering additional sleeping arrangements. The open kitchen design ensures that everyone can socialize together without feeling separated.

Bed linens and towels are provided for the max occupancy of the home (Carol's Cottage has a max occupancy of 6). Laundry is available in the home during your stay, located upstairs.
During the warmer months, step out onto the deck from the living room to enjoy the wooded backdrop while sipping on a glass of wine and grilling up a BBQ feast on the gas grill.

Conveniently situated just minutes from Eagle Ridge Resort, the newly expanded Stonedrift Spa, Lake Galena, and scenic walking/running trails, Carol's Cottage offers the ideal retreat. Our guests also have access to The Galena Territory Owner's Club amenities, with six access cards provided for use of indoor and outdoor swimming pools, basketball, pickleball, and tennis courts, Lake Galena, and the Marina; select amenities may have an additional fee. While Eagle Ridge Resort amenities are reserved for their guests, our guests are welcome to enjoy Eagle Ridge's public golf courses, spa, and dining options available at the resort.
