Great location
We had a great few days staying in Galena. Was easy to walk into town and back which was great both during the day and for dinner. Very well equipped house for those who prefer to stay in and cook. Recommended!

Very accurately described - cozy cottage walking distance to downtown Galena - owners were very communicative and house was clean and well maintained. Would be nice to have some more patio furniture, firepit type things as there's a spacious yard -

Thank you!
Enjoyed our time in Galena! Had to drive everywhere, since I had an elderly person with me who could not have walked the hills. A little tricky for her to get down the stairs to the front door of the house but the sturdy railing helped. The main floor bedroom and bathrooms were great for her. No bathrooms on the second floor, but that was OK for those of us who slept up there. Was glad there were two bathrooms. I really liked having no house chores to do the morning we left. Only had to put the key in the lock box. The house gave us a lovely opportunity to visit, make meals and relax.

Cute home in historic district
This cute little home is nestled into the historic district. It was extremely inviting, clean, and worked perfectly for our girls trip. Aaron was great and super responsive to messages. Just one note, if you plan on walking to downtown Galena be prepared for hills! The walk is not far though. Would definitely recommend this home to stay in and would absolutely stay here again!

Cute house, clean, description is accurate.
House was just as described. It is within walking distance but if you do shop til you drop you should take your vehicle to have a place to drop your bags off. You have some hill to walk if not. Overall great experience, no trouble.

This property is not fancy, but it is the cleanest, most well maintained and best stocked property we have used. There is a Keurig coffee maker and a drip maker. We weren’t sure about the Keurig but we took coffee in case. Perfect! We will all remember the dog in the corner.
