About this property

Prime Location! 2BR-2 Acre Retreat Minutes from Downtown Galena & Attractions

Experience a peaceful, cozy, country getaway in this home away from home. While only a 7-minute drive to downtown Galena, or a 20-minute drive to Dubuque, this split-level home offers gorgeous views of surrounding nature while also including plenty of room inside and outside for you, friends, or family to enjoy. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to see a variety of local wildlife, including deer, foxes, owls, etc.! The outdoor deck, lower patio, and yard are wonderful spots to relax, explore, or stargaze. The scenic roads this home is located on are wonderful for daytime walking while still being less than 3 miles from town. Even in winter months, you can happily enjoy snowy scenery, Christmas time shopping in downtown Galena, or skiing at Chestnut Mountain Resort. In a world of investment properties and rentals, rest assured knowing we’re offering stays in our family home of +40 years as a means to hold onto this house until the next generation is able to reside here in a few short years. Because of this, the house has recently undergone some much-needed construction, with multiple projects still in the pipeline. *Doorbell camera on property for security. **Coming Soon- Hot Tub- August 2025

Great Getaway

Nice home in a great location - close to the river, parks and downtown. It's a perfect size for a couple or a family. Lots of comfy seating upstairs in the living room. We visited over a hot weekend in July and the AC kept us cool and comfy - such a plus. The large windows overlooking a wooded area were lovely - we remarked how pretty it must be in fall or winter too.

Annual girls trip and birthday celebration

Beautiful and spacious home surrounded by nature located just a few miles from downtown Galena. Far enough away to enjoy the peaceful setting and sounds and sights of nature but close enough to be on Main Street and shopping in as little as 10 minutes. In addition to being beautiful and spacious, the house has everything you will for your stay. Huge TVs upstairs and downstairs, plus TVs in the bedrooms, plenty of towels, all your kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom essentials. And, the biggest selling point for this rental is the host. I have used a lot of BNBs over the years and I have never run across a host like this one. Tim was the most responsive host I have ever encountered. Making sure we had everything we needed. That the rental met our expectations. He even offered suggestions on places to eat and gave us a local contact for Uber services. If I could give this a 10 rating, I would. I highly recommend!

This home is just as described in a nice area just a few minutes from town! Tim was a great host who was very responsive! My friends and I had a girls weekend getaway looking to relax and this house was the perfect place for this! Very quiet and relaxing! We will definitely come back to stay next time we're on the area. Thanks Tim!!
