My family enjoyed our stay at the FiveTen General! Communication from the host was excellent! Sleeping arrangements were as advertised and the place was very clean on arrival. Great place to stay for a family of 6! We will most likely be staying here in the future!

Fun little house/convenient to downtown.

Great little house. Stairs are a little steep for us older folks, but overall a really great stay. It was very clean and well maintained. We had a great stay!

A wonderful place to stay!

This is a lovely spot, perfect for families traveling together (and dog friendly, which we were so grateful for!). We stayed for a ski weekend and enjoyed nearby Chestnut Mountain. It was a great time!

Cutest place in Galena

We absolutely loved staying in this adorable, cozy home!! It oozes character in every room and it had everything we needed for our stay. There even was a “make up” towel for the ladies to use, which I thought was a special touch. We had a blast in the “disco cave” and danced all night in it. The location is perfect because it’s just a few blocks away from the down town shopping and restaurants. It’s wonderful to be able to just park the car and walk everywhere.If I could give 6 stars I would! Highly recommend

Property was very clean, comfortable and accommodating. The check-in was very easy and accessible to downtown shopping and restaurants. It is about 15 minute walk, but due to uneven pavement/sidewalks it took us longer just to be safe. We will be back!

Galina

Overall the stay met our expectations. The house was nice and quaint and as described. The kitchen area was great for a group hangout. The location was convient and close to downtown with parking. The walk was about 10 minutes to Main street and shops/parks/food/etc. Cute town and the Halloween parade was fun to see.

Fantastic location and property!

We stayed for my husband's 50th for the weekend and the property was perfect, from relaxing in the living room to chilling out in the disco cave. Perfect base for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.

The house had lots of charm of an older home with benefits of updated kitchen. The stairs were a little tricky for handling luggage to the upstairs bedrooms. Thankful that there were good handrails.
