We went to Galena to celebrate my mom's birthday and were very happy with the price and the amount of space and privacy we had to celebrate as a family. The host made it very easy to check in quickly and everything was as described with the house. The Jukebox was enjoyed by all as we played our games. The host had great communication and made it clear he was available if needed. Thank you for a great birthday trip!

Cozy house, great central location

This cozy house had everything my family needed for our little getaway, complete with games and toys that helped keep our daughter entertained :) Had some cool pieces of décor as well that added to the ambience of the house. It was nice to be in a quiet neighborhood - and the location was perfect for us since we were visiting both Galena and Mississippi Palisades State park

Perfect Getaway!

Very cute and cozy house! My boyfriend and I loved the simplicity of the driving distance to Galena and having a house to return to afterwards where we could relax. Had everything we needed for cooking and tons of games and movies to watch. Would definitely return again!

The owners recently renovated the home, very well done. Very homey feel throughout the entire home. Responsive owner. Fair price. Quiet and safe location. 25 minutes to downtown Galena. Great place for breakfast near by, Charlie’s Place.

What a great little place to stay

The house was just as it was advertised. A clean well thought out home. Very comfortable. Had great time relaxing. Even when the storms blew in. I felt safe and sound. The owner was always just a text away and very responsive. I will definitely be coming back to explore this area again.

Everything I Needed

Great amenities, quiet street, peaceful retreat from the summer heat. I stayed there to visit a Hanover friend who has cats (I’m allergic) and she ended up staying with me because it was so lovely. We could have settled in for quite a movie marathon with the excellent collection of DVDs. We found everything we needed, and communication was clear and friendly.

*Chose this location due to proximity to Galena. Easy drive to get back and forth. *Property very clean inside. *Could use a few repairs outside. Not great curb appeal. *Owner very responsive to emails.
