Girls trip. Location was great. House had everything we needed. 9 of us stayed and plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, etc. Towel rack kept falling off in the downstairs bathroom so we fixed that multiple times. Also the stools behind the bar area in the living room are falling apart. Might want to tighten the screws on all of them. Parking out front was nice. We didn’t use any of the dishes or things like that so can’t share details on those. Basically slept and showered. But thought the place could definitely use a good cleaning. Chatted with owner on that. Fun weekend in Galena.

Charming and spacious getaway

We had a group of four women who stayed here for a girl’s weekend. The view of the river was lovely - we had a peaceful coffee on the front porch both mornings we were there. The home was also in close walking proximity to downtown, so once we arrived and parked, we really didn’t need to drive anywhere. We liked the house’s character and eclectic style. since we had the whole house, there was a kitchen on both the first floor and second floor, which meant extra fridge space. That is always a bonus. However, the house itself could use some updates: it was a hot summer weekend and it took a long time for the house to cool off (especially the second floor). There were fans in almost every room, which definitely was helpful. Additionally, a few simple extra cleaning steps (lots of cobwebs on the ceiling), repairs, and replacements (like the main floor bathmat) could go a long way. Outside of those things, the stay was lovely.

Had an awesome stay for my sister’s bachelorette party! We had plenty of room for 8 girls to stay and it was clean and had plenty of towels for everyone with toiletries. The back porch was super cute and spacious. It is in the perfect location to walk up and down the Main Street of galena. No private parking- only street parking. We didn’t have trouble getting spots for everyone over the weekend but there are parking restrictions during the week.

A perfect Galena getaway

This property is in the perfect location for visiting downtown Galena. It’s an easy walk to everything on Main Street and to the Depot and Belvedere Mansion. The pictures of this house don’t do it justice! It’s beautifully designed and well appointed. Street parking was very convenient.

Good location

Great location, great communication with owner. Upstairs could use better temperature control. Parking right out front ( little crowded during the day). Definitely an older, vintage semi-updated, quirky home, lots of ins and outs & ups and downs

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.

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.
