5 star Townhome - Walk 2 Town - Fireplace - Make the Best Memories!

Only .3 Miles to Main St, Downtown Galena! The home is just a short walk to downtown Galena, where you can enjoy free street parking. This home is NOT pet-friendly.

When you step into this space you feel right at home. Pull up and enjoy free parking in front of the home or anywhere on Prospect St. Step inside the front door and into the foyer and enjoy this historic home. The main level features an updated eat in kitchen that is open to the large living room w/flat screen TV, gas fireplace and record player. There is also a half bathroom, laundry area and small back deck to enjoy. The large kitchen is spacious and has seating for 8. Enjoy your cup of coffee using our Keurig coffee machine. If you walk to the rear of the home you will find that back deck is a great place to sit and listen to the sounds of town. Please note as a guest there is no backyard access. When you head upstairs you will love the finishing touches of exposed brick and new carpet. There are 3 bedrooms on this level. The main bedroom features a Queen bedroom and comfortable space, the 2nd Queen bedroom is down the hall and also a great place to sit back and relax after a long day downtown Galena. The third sleeping area is quiet and cozy with a twin over twin split trundle bed. Great for the singles or the kiddos! The full bathroom for these rooms is at the end of the hall. The lofted area is up a slightly steep set of stairs, grab the railing and head up to a fun space for the agile ones in your group. The private space features two twin beds upstairs with space in the middle for an air mattress if you want to bring one. Great getaway spot for kids to have a slumber party or for the singles to stretch out in, extra AC up there for your comfort. Of course the most spectacular part of staying on Prospect St is the location, just a quick walk to downtown or around the neighborhood to take in the architecture and joy of Galena. You will love The Townhouse on Prospect!

2nd time stay
This is a wonderful property with a great location. This is the 2nd yr in a row my friends & I have stayed & we will be back again. Plenty of space to spread out & sleep everyone. The kitchen/dining & living room area is a perfect gathering space.

Great location, cute place!
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: It was great. The home was clean, management quick to respond with any questions. Only suggestions I would have is that it was a little difficult only having one shower for 7 ladies (seems like a shower could be put in the downstairs bathroom pretty easily) and they needed larger trashcans in the kitchen but other than that it was a great stay!

Mom and daughter getaway
My 2 grown daughters and I stayed here for a few nights. The house was perfect for us. It was so clean and had absolutely everything we needed for a relaxing time. The location was great. We drove to the downtown shops, but could have walked if we had wanted to. Beds were comfy, towels were soft, fireplace was cozy, and neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. It’s a lovely place! Would definitely stay again😊

This property was perfect for our girls weekend. It was a short drive to downtown. We didn't need to being much with us which worked out perfectly since we bought too much stuff😂 Would recommend this place, 10/10.

Perfect for girls weekend
The townhouse on prospect was perfect for our girls weekend getaway to Galena. The location was perfect - just a short walk to all the shops downtown and was located on a quiet side street. We had plenty of room to sleep and relax. We had a minor maintenance issue when we arrived, but someone was sent over quickly to fix it. Would definitely recommend this place!

Great Experience
Great location to main street, walking distance if warmer. House comfortably fit a family of 8. Prompt communication from renter and checkin/checkout was a breeze. Was worried about parking since it was street only but not an issue and were able to park two cars right in front of house.

Wonderful time in Galena!
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: The townhouse on Prospect Hill was fabulous! The beds were comfortable, the home was clean and was in a great location! It was a very short walk to the historic downtown Galena which made our time there so much easier as the downtown area is very busy. We didn’t have to worry about finding parking.

Great townhouse!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this adorable townhouse for my sister’s bachelorette party, and it was the perfect size and distance for the group! Easy walk to Main Street, plenty of room for us all. The only real downfall was one full bath with that many girls and the shower head wasn’t great for pressure. Overall, great experience and would definitely stay again!

Could sleep 6 easily and 8 if you don't mind sharing beds. It no longer has a sleeper sofa.

Great stay - wonderful location!
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 were a family of three generations and loved our stay at the Townhouse on Prospect. The location was ideal and the walk to shops and restaurants was easy..we did it multiple times each day with a stroller. It was also a very doable walk to Grant's home (although the hill up to the house could be a bit challenging). The townhouse was so well equipped, spotless and such a comfortable and pleasing place just to relax. We'd definitely come again!

Really nice house - only one negative for us!
We really enjoyed our stay overall! This house is lovely and had (almost) everything we needed! It was clean, well kept, and in a great location! walking distance to the downtown Galena - and a quick bike ride to the river trail we came to check out as well! The only negative we had is that the pictures of this property make it appear that you’ll have access to the garden space, which is where we thought we would be able to safely secure our 4 bikes. It isn’t clear until you get there that you don’t have access to this garden space. We didn’t feel comfortable leaving our bikes on the front step as there was nothing to secure them to and you’re right on the street. This was a real hassle for our family with 4 full-size bikes! I would not have chosen this property if the pics hadn’t given the impression of access to the garden space!

Do not rent!
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I can’t even comment on the property. The owner decided to keep all of the money after Covid struck 3 of the 4 families that were supposed to go. An attempt was made to reschedule the weekend (even an off season weekend!) and the owner said no. In this day and age, that is a despicable thing to do. I highly do NOT recommend this property.

Small but BIG : )
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: Last minute 4th of July trip and saw that this place was available. Initially, I had rented it with low expectations as I felt the pictures didn't translate well. But when I arrived, the first thing you notice is the great curb appeal! And of course, that exciting energy continued into the house. As I was pleasantly surprised to find a great little house waiting for me! Which was very clean and smelled great! I didn't need much assistance when I was there but when I did have a question, I always got a pretty quick friendly response. If Main Street is your jam, this house is very close. We walked there to get coffee and pastries every morning.Nice outdoor space in front and balcony off the back. The only downside for me is I LOVE to grill and unfortunately, that's not an option here. But I knew that going in so no surprise.The bonus, secret loft, 4th bedroom was a big hit with my 2 nephews! If you are visiting Galena, I would recommend this place!
