About the host

Hosted by Matt

Host profile image
My wife and I are originally from the Galena area as we both grew up here. When I left for the Air Force in 2007 my wife joined me in South Carolina in 2009. After 4 year of active duty we decided to move closer to home which was still 5 hours away in Edwardsville, IL near St. Louis. I have always worked in IT and my wife worked for the State of Missouri for the DNR taking care of the Katie Trail.

My wife and I purchased this property in 2017 in hopes to make it a airbnb/VRBO rental with a small retail shop in the bottom of the building. With my job going fully remote, we have recently moved back to the area where we can fully dedicate time to being hosts. We love this atmosphere of the small town and moving away has made us appreciate coming back to it more.

We look forward to meeting new people and hope you enjoy our town as much as we do.

Thank You,

Matt and Abby

Why they chose this property

It was actually my fathers idea to purchase the building. It had great bones and great location for what we wanted to accomplish here. The Suite was the first part of the renovation and we hope to have the shop set up to open here in the Spring of 2021 with details to follow.

What makes this property unique

Some unique benefits is the off Main Street feel. You are still only a 5 min walk downtown, but dont have to worry about parking or the crowds of being downtown. The Space offers a full suite where a family or friends can enjoy each other's company. For this reason we have decided not to add t.v.'s in the suite as we want people to come together here and spark conversation. There is so much to do in the town you wouldn't have time anyway.
