My wife, dog, and I had a wonderful stay at this property. The hosts were incredibly communicative and accommodating. Very comfortable with great amenities, and a very short (and pretty) walk to Main Street Galena. Large backyard for our dog to explore! Will definitely plan future trips here in the future.
My family and I stayed for a few nights for a get away. It was a great location that had privacy. The home is well kept and has charming decor. We would stay again when in the area.
Very much enjoyed our stay. My mom was having surgery. This was a very calm and lovely way to spend the evening.
Especially enjoyed some time in the hot tub!
We spent 5 nights at the Nook! It was perfect for our stay! The home was clean, cozy and Phil’s communication couldn’t have been better. We loved the hot tub. The kitchen was fairly large and equipped. We enjoyed the coziness of the living room too. We drove to town which took about 5 minutes. We would definitely return!
I liked putting up the notes on the fridge it was nice of you to let me do that! it was small and cozy and the vinyl sounded nice for 5 seconds before my dad told me not to go on it anymore because i could break vinyl easily XD! very cool place 10/10 but the train was very loud O_O
That was my daughter, we had a great time. We would stay here again.
Thanks for the hospitality,

Cousins getting together for a weekend in Galena. We found the Nook to be a perfect base of operations for our exploration of Galena.
The Nook was clean, perfectly appointed with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We didn’t even have a chance to enjoy the fire pit or the hot tub. We highly recommend the Nook!!!
I would definitely recommend this rental to anybody. Great location, great space and very clean. We enjoyed our stay. I never got a chance to sit in the hot tub but looked very inviting. Also loved the fenced in yard if you bring your furry friends its nice to have.
Phil was a helpful host and the Nook was as advertized. It was clean and included the necessities, like shampoo and towels. We appreciated the living room area where we could sit and talk as a group. The kitchen is a bit small for multiple people doing multiple kitchen tasks, but we managed. I would recommend this place and host.
Phil was a terrific host. He responded to all my questions quickly and followed up with us after we arrived to make sure everything was okay. It is a very cute, comfortable house.

Perfect home for Galena weekend getaway
This is my third trip to The Nook. Adorable home equipped with everything you need, ideal location - easily walkable to downtown Galena, and the HOT TUB is my favorite part :) Highly recommend this property!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Stayed here for a girls weekend. Very cute little house with fun artistic touches. Clean, nicely furnished with special extras like robes in the rooms. Hot tub worked well. Great location in a quiet neighborhood within 10-15 minute walk of the Main Street with shops and restaurants. Hosts were really responsive, easy check-in.
We loved our stay! It was such a great location, so easy to walk to downtown Galena. We loved having the large backyard for our pup and the hot tub in the cold weather!
Clean, comfortable, and exactly as listed! Phillip was a great host who was easy to communicate with. We loved the convenience of the smart lock for check in and check out. House is in a great spot for walking over to main street for food and drinks. Backyard and hot tub were fabulous! Perfect house for a little getaway with our baby and dogs
