Great location for exploring Main Street. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of space for hanging out. Appreciated the rocking chairs on the front porch. Would definitely stay here again. We had no issues with being able to park in front of the house.

We had a fantastic stay. We were very close to downtown but without the noise. The house was spacious and relaxing. We even got to enjoy the deck in mid-October!

Beautiful home in an excellent area of town! An easy walk to downtown Galena, with all the dining and shopping available there. The house was clean and well stocked, with a wonderful deck out back for eating and visiting. Debra was a wonderful host and easy to communicate with. This was the perfect choice for our first "Sisters' Gathering"! We'll definitely stay here again when in the area!

We had a girls' weekend in Galena. Debra was such an amazing host. She made sure we had everything we needed to make the weekend special and memorable. You can't beat the location, with it being minutes away from all of the shopping and fun. The house was spacious, and everyone had their own space. The space was clean and tidy. Highly recommend this location for a weekend getaway!

Was nice to be so close to downtown. Parking was only an issue when we first arrived. We had to unload in the no parking area, park somewhere else, then wait for the parking to open up. Was nice to be able to leave the cars there during our stay. Wish it could have been cooler upstairs. Location to downtown is perfect! Plenty of room for our family of 7! Just wish check in day was a lower price since you’re not able to check in until 3pm. Host was very nice!

We picked this specific property because of its location. We had a very short walk to "inside" the gates of Galena. It was a perfect spot for a quick girls trip to do some shopping, relaxing, and reconnecting. The property layout was a little confusing but our wonderful host quickly helped us understand what the lay out was and where we could all sleep. It was also nice to have coffee and ice already there for us to use. Thank you for a wonderful stay! Would stay here again!

The house was very cute and clean. We had everything we needed for our stay. It was a very easy walk to downtown so we didn't have to drive anywhere after we arrived. I would stay again if I revisit Galena.

Girls trip. Location was great. House had everything we needed. 9 of us stayed and plenty of towels, blankets, pillows, etc. Towel rack kept falling off in the downstairs bathroom so we fixed that multiple times. Also the stools behind the bar area in the living room are falling apart. Might want to tighten the screws on all of them. Parking out front was nice. We didn’t use any of the dishes or things like that so can’t share details on those. Basically slept and showered. But thought the place could definitely use a good cleaning. Chatted with owner on that. Fun weekend in Galena.
