"My adult son and I try to take a a small-scale road trip together every Spring. This past week, we built so many new memories, in great part due to this wonderful property. It’s super-clean, with character and an historical ambience. We found so much to do in the Galena area, including nearby towns and the Galena River Trail. Coming “home” each evening to this cozy place was a comforting feeling after each very active day. My son, who has a developmental disability due to childhood stroke,...

"One of two houses for an annual friends’ getogether. All amenities and features were as advertised. The bedrooms and en suites were clean and comfortable. The living area was attractive and welcoming. This was definitely a great choice for us."

"Great house and location! Hosts were great! Would rent again."

"Clean and comfortable stay in Galena. Great place to visit."

"The house was everything we could have hoped for and more with a great kitchen, comfy beds, and plenty of seating areas. We will definitely hope to return again someday!"

"Quiet time of year, enjoyed the views. Lots of trails and easy to get around."

"We enjoyed our stay very much. House is great and at a great location. We spent a lot of time sitting out on a porch just looking out in the woods, chatting. There’s plenty of space to do your own thing or enjoy the company. House is clean and well stocked. It is also short drive from most Galena attractions. We will definitely go back."

"It was everything we both needed to relax and unwind from the stress we both have been under. We also celebrated my husband’s 65th Birthday and the fact that his cancer is gone for now!"

"Perfect setting for settling into shared time with family and friends."

"Overall it was fabulous! Only drawback was we had a issue with a toilet and notified the owner who responded promptly, yet the maintenance was not able to enter the property because we were out enjoying ourselves, not leaving our key in the lockbox. A suggestion would be that the maintenance/owner have access to another key besides what is given to their guests…..and if so would have rated all 5 stars."

"Perfect place for a quiet romantic getaway! Close to Galena and Savana!"

"This home was so well maintained. I love the little things like having everything labeled and instructions for the heating and cooling system. We also appreciated the quality of the kitchen/cooking tools (pots/pans etc.) and the mattress. This house lacked absolutely nothing! The owner kept great contact with us. We really enjoyed this home."

"We had a perfect weekend for three friends from grade school to reconnect. The weather was perfect and the house was perfect. There were three bedrooms on three different floors, a deck to view nature, and a large kitchen table to eat, play games and laugh. The host was wonderful and sent suggestions ahead of time. Their home was well stocked and very comfortable. We had a picnic at Galena vineyards, shopped main street, ate at Galena brewery and did the Goat trek! We would love to come back...

"This place was very nice and cozy. We had a little mix up when we first arrived but the owner and cleaning lady were really nice and great and got things taken care of right away which we appreciated. The trails are super close and we took our dogs on lots of walks. The location was very close to the golf resort if you’re a golfer and just to drive around the scenery was amazing. I would definitely stay here again."

"Historic property next to another historic property in an historic town. So much easily accessible by walking or by car. Practically on the Galena River Trail."

"Stayed here for a long weekend in beautiful Galena! Fur baby was welcomed & the townhouse had everything from a kennel, leash, bowls etc! We loved the golf course and the clubhouse! Will was so receptive for any questions! We plan to come back in a few months! We literally felt at home. Thank you Will for sharing your beautiful home & allowing our dog to be with us."

"Sisters and I went for a few days to visit cousins. This house was perfect. So close to the square. Enjoyed the shops and the Farmers Marker and lunch on the square. One day just walked the neighborhood to see all the beautiful old homes. Already planning a return trip in the fall!"

"My brother who is about 160 pounds sat on a kitchen table chair and it collapsed under him. One leg was broken on the chair. Thank goodness my brother caught himself on the way down. Also the left handle on the porch door is broken and kept falling to the floor. We fixed it best we could but the screw is stripped. The ants are so bad they carried the food away I know this is in the woods but so is our home and we do not have ants"

"Great location and very nice home to stay in for a few days"
