Great weekend stay

This property was great for a weekend Galena visit with friends! Close enough to downtown to walk, but far enough away to stay quiet at night. The hosts were communicative and helpful! Would stay here again.

Amazing location!!!

This home was soooooo convenient!! The house is very charming and beds were comfortable. The back yard is huge and would be so ideal for dogs. We enjoyed the hot tub as well. The house is a little small. We had 5 adults staying, but probably wouldn’t recommend for any larger group.

An ideal retreat for any occasion!

We stayed at this house for our company Christmas party, and it was great! The communal area was clean and spacious, providing plenty of room for everyone to mingle. The cozy bedrooms offered a comfortable retreat after a fun-filled day.The location was prime. Not on the busy Main Street of Galena, but close enough for easy access with a short walk. Nice and quiet.One of the highlights was definitely the hot tub, which was a delightful treat in the middle of winter. It added a special touch to our stay and was enjoyed by all.Overall, this property exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely stay here again.
