About this property

BEST on Bench! 3 BR Historical Beauty - Steps 2 Turner Hall - GUEST FAVORITE!

This Beautiful, Historical and Updated home is smack dab downtown Galena. This preservation Award winning home was built in 1856 and is in an incredible location. Bench St is one street North of Main St and this home is approximately 150 steps to all the amazing dining, shopping and entertainment that Downtown Galena has to offer. This home is NOT pet friendly.

This home is an amazing 1600 square feet. It feels spacious and welcoming, definitely not your typical downtown rental. When you pull up and locate your on-street parking (first come first serve) you will notice the immaculate exterior of the home. It is located directly across the street from Turner Hall and could accommodate a bridal group, guests at a function or just serve as a beautiful backdrop for your stay.

When you enter the home off of Bench St. you will enter into the foyer with the study to the right and living room to the left with cozy electric fireplace and view of Turner Hall. There is plenty of comfortable seating and a flat screen tv for you to enjoy in this living space. NOTE: there is a sofa sleeper in the living room (please bring your own Queen size linens for sleeper) The dining room is large enough for everyone to gather and will be a great spot to enjoy meals and play games during your stay, the record player with vinyl is a sweet treat. The half bath is located on this level as well as the galley style, eat in kitchen (for 2) with all of the modern amenities. Step out back onto the screened back porch which is a great place to relax with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Upstairs are the 3 Queen bedrooms and 1 full bathroom. Plush linens and towels are available for you and don't forget that awesome view of Turner Hall across the street. Please note this home does not have a washer and dryer for guest use. Enjoy complimentary WiFi.

Please note this home is not part of the Galena Territory and does not have access to the GTA amenities.

Beautiful, relaxing home very close to Main St.
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful time in Galena this past weekend and the accommodations were wonderful! Close to everything; within walking distance to Main St. Yes, there are stairs involved both in the house and going to Main St., my sister with a knee replacement did just fine on both fronts. The home is beautiful, very clean, roomy & comfy beds, nice shower. Kitchen accommodations are excellent. We'll definitely stay here again on another trip. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful Home and Exceptional Customer Service
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed this home from the moment we got there. There was plent of space for the 6 of us. The character of the home was wonderful. Enjoyed the chilly nights after walking main street, in front of the fireplace. Every room was clean and had plenty of coverings. The location of the home was perfect. Just one block away from main street. Very quaint neighborhood. The rooms were described as queen beds, but they did feel more like double beds but still comfy. There were plenty of towels provided in the bathroom. We enjoyed several downtown activities especially the Holidaze Feztival which was lovely. There were wonderful fireworks in the evening. I want just acknowledge that the property manager went above and beyond for us. We had a situation that we needed assistance with and the property manage was nothing but gracious and helpful and understanding. We appareciated this more than you know. That one situation stood above everything else. We can't thank you enough for not only a wonderful experience at the rental but the customer service we received. We will definetly be back and we definetly will recommend this location to others. THANK YOU!
