Great Location

Great location, easy access to downtown. Spacious home,well stocked with everything you needed.The problems we encountered were the front door did nothave a secure lock, this made us feel uncomfortable. Also,the upstairs bedrooms were uncomfortably warm... the upper level air conditioning was not working in the bedrooms.

Perfect Location Girls Trip

If you are coming to Galena for a girls trip, this is the perfect place to stay! We parked our car when we got there, and never got in it again until we left. Everything is within walking distance. The house is very clean and very well appointed. Contact with the owner was very easy and responses were very timely. When we come back to Galena, we will definitely stay here again!!

Sisters’ visit

We 4 sisters came from different directions to meet in Galena. Our accommodation was spectacular! Deb was approachable and promptly answered all questions. The house was just what we wanted for a walkable location to main area of Galena. There were special touches as my kcups. My sister misplaced her iPad and Deb worked very hard to relocate the device with success. Would definitely recommend and stay there again!

Convenient, great location

Deb was an excellent hostess, helpful and quick to answer questions. The location was absolutely great to walk downtown and come back to thoughout the day. Nice to have the two parking spots, although a little difficult to maneuver in and out of. The home itself while very clean and well kept was old and the decor out dated, but again fit the Galena atmosphere. Overall a very nice stay and met all out needs.
