Perfect location
We had a great time at the Owl House. It was clean, and perfect for the two of us. We loved sitting on the sun porch/dining area. We loved the snacks and drinks that were provided, and the souvenir owl. We played a few records, sat in the screened in porch, and just hung out. No complaints. Parked on Friday and walked everywhere in Galena. Hope to be back soon.

Weekday Escape
My stay at the Owl House was perfect! I stayed during the week and there was good parking available. The house is stand alone, not connected to another property, so it was nice and peaceful! The hosts were incredible and very accommodating. I will definitely stay there again!
