Weekend girls trip ages 27 to 86. Beautiful home within walking distance to the little shops, winery's and the most delicious restaurants. This hidden gem is as close as you can get to right out of a Hallmark movie. We will definitely return!

Galena experience
Such a wonderful stay in Galena thanks to our hostess and her riverside home. Easy walking to Grants Park, Park Avenue, downtown, Trolly tours, fine dining. Then back to enjoy a glass of wine on the deck where deer and squirrels came to visit! Great place to stay!

Quaint home, perfect location!
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It was perfect for our group of 8 adults! The location proved to be perfect - we didn't need to drive anywhere as it was located right at the beginning of the historic district. The keypad entry was an easy solution to various comings and goings of everyone. We would recommend this location for your stay in Galena!

There were 7 of us and the house provided all the room we needed. It was a easy walk to all the shopping, restaurants and bars. It was great to have a whole house and not have to worry about disturbing neighbors with our laughter. Would highly recommend this house!

Great location and plenty of space
You can't beat the location (just outside of the floodgates) and I was surprised by the size of the rooms (there's one bedroom on the first floor and three bedrooms upstairs). We got use out of the first-floor kitchen, back family room, and the deck. Everything was clean and organized.

Family. Vacation
This is an excellent location. Only reason for 4 rating is the temperature- the thermostat is controlled remotely and it was very warm - power went out one night (out of owners control). The upstairs rooms got warm at night. We did enjoy the space and location!

Gal-ena weekend!
Had a great girls weekend get away! This property is well maintained, clean, and very close to downtown Galena. Check in was easy and had no trouble with parking. This property sits just on the end of main street outside the floodgates. While this property is right on main street and downtown, this can be deceiving for some people as main street itself is quite long and it is still a walk from one end to the other. We did Kayak with Nuts Outdoors. The information within the condo is outdated as the prior company is no longer in business. We really enjoyed this property. There were 6 of us, we rented the entire house, and we felt we had plenty of room. There is one chair in the living that the leather is peeling off and needs replaced. The beds were extremely comfortable! We would recommend having a curtain on the front door glass window. There is also one bedroom upstairs without a door that we would recommend possibly putting some sort of curtain across it for some privacy. There is a cute outside patio to use when the weather is nice. We did not spend a significant amount of time in the house so did not utilize the kitchen much other than for snacking and light breakfast. One note- There is a very strict no party rule at this property in addition to strict rules on guests and visitors. So if you want to "party" this is definitely not the rental for you.

Girls weekend
The location could not be better and this house was one of very few with four bedrooms. However, one bedroom did not have a door and one was practically attached to the kitchen. Parking was easy and everything we wanted to see and do was walkable. This house needs some work but overall it worked out for us.
