Retreat
Mornings on the Galien.
Step out onto your private river frontage. Birdsong, mist on the water, the rustle of leaves overhead. Bring a kayak, drop a line, or just sit. This is the kind of quiet you've been craving.
Room to roam. Together.
5,616 square feet of open living, dining, and gathering space — every corner thoughtfully furnished and ready for your group.
