Great Nook!
The property is as described. We traveled with our dogs and can attest that it is dog friendly (dog bed, treats, paw towel, ball, huge fenced yard). For humans, there are board games, books, vinyl records, hot tub, and streami Thdowntowntheuteshops to

Wonderful fall visit to Galena
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.

Girls’ Getaway
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!

Galena getaway
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!!!

Fun stay
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.

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.

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.
