We had a great stay! The home was built in the 1800's if I remember correctly from the guest book. It has been updated with all the modern amenities and is very cozy! It is beautifully maintained with lots of culture for the time-period. This is a 3-story cottage and if you walk to town, it's all uphill on the way back. So, if you can't do stairs, this isn't for you. We are 50 and fairly active so the stairs weren't a problem for us. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Megan Z.

This past week, we built so many new memories, in great part due to this wonderful property. It’s super-clean, with character and an historical ambience. We found so much to do in the Galena area, including nearby towns and the Galena River Trail. Coming “home” each evening to this cozy place was a comforting feeling after each very active day. My son, who has a developmental disability due to childhood stroke, savored every minute of our week and loved making up stories about who you used to live in the house and stories behind many of the objects there. And I certainly cherished every moment with him. This house had a lot to do with a very memorable week, and I highly recommend it. ##### Daven C.

The pictures did not do it justice! This is an absolutely beautiful property and the gardens and backyard were gorgeous. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by two fans and a doe in the backyard! The home decor was amazing and you felt like you were taking a step back in time with all the historical decor. The location was awesome and just a few blocks away from downtown. We had so much fun on our journeys walking back-and-forth to and from downtown. Definitely don’t wear any shoes with heels for the trek and be prepared for some exercise! We learned our lesson the first night. It is absolutely beautiful property and we cannot wait to come back. ##### Tracy D. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Bianca 29 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Communication The host tried blaming us for a tv that had fell off the wall mount while we were already gone and checked out. So not too sure if that actually happened or if she made it look that way. Also the tv that fell was stated that it was a smart tv and it was not. It was also not working when we got there. The downstairs bedroom has crystals and other things growing on the walls. I had to message the host after check in time for the information to get into the place. Also if you are tall, bad place for you because the house has very short ceilings. It is an old and gorgeous home and we had the best time with our little getaway to Galena but the host made things more difficult. The neighbor was the friendliest lady as well! I would love to give 5 stars but make sure to report any damages or anything not working when first arriving to ensure the host doesn’t try blaming you. Just a warning! Also the dreaded hill that people talk about is definitely a thing. If you are not in shape I don’t recommend walking up and down the hill. ##### Bianca Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cara F. 7 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great location for a relaxing weekend ##### Cara F.
