Group Getaway

We were a group of 4 couples and had the most enjoyable weekend in Galena and staying at our spacious yet cozy home. Perfect location just outside the entrance to downtown. Spacious deck to socialize, cozy and comfortable rooms and beautiful and creative decor throughout the home. The home had everything you needed and the heated floors were a bonus! Would definitely stay again.

Galena experience

Such a wonderful stay in Galena thanks to our hostess and her riverside home. Easy walking to Grants Park, Park Avenue, downtown, Trolly tours, fine dining. Then back to enjoy a glass of wine on the deck where deer and squirrels came to visit! Great place to stay!

Quaint home, perfect location!

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It was perfect for our group of 8 adults! The location proved to be perfect - we didn't need to drive anywhere as it was located right at the beginning of the historic district. The keypad entry was an easy solution to various comings and goings of everyone. We would recommend this location for your stay in Galena!

Girls weekend

The location could not be better and this house was one of very few with four bedrooms. However, one bedroom did not have a door and one was practically attached to the kitchen. Parking was easy and everything we wanted to see and do was walkable. This house needs some work but overall it worked out for us.

Family. Vacation

This is an excellent location. Only reason for 4 rating is the temperature- the thermostat is controlled remotely and it was very warm - power went out one night (out of owners control). The upstairs rooms got warm at night. We did enjoy the space and location!

We played board games and ordered in pizza our first night. The second day we spent shopping and tasting wines. We had tons of fun at the Scent Workshop. Dinner at Fries Green Tomatoes. We had plenty of room for 8 young ladies. We rented the entire house. Perfect location for walking.
