About the host

Hosted by Alisha Leytem

Host profile image
My name is Alisha and me and my family of 4 love living in Galena!

Originally from Dubuque, we decided to move closer to home from California in 2021. What was supposed to be a temporary location turned out to become our permanent home base. Come visit and you'll see why we love it so much!

As your host, I am very knowledgeable about the area because I am a local. Here for you and want you to have the best Galena trip!

What makes this property unique

We love our private, nature-based location - just minutes from downtown Galena and in a private lake community filled with plenty of amenities to enjoy nature and still sneak away for a delicious dinner or shopping trip with the hustle and bustle of downtown Galena.
