Galena Mansion

We had a group of 8 and had a great time. The house was in a perfect location for a short walk downtown. We would stay here again.

The Mansion!

Great location, was awesome having my family all in on big house. Really loved the aged feel of being in such an old historic house. I can’t imagine the original owners and their lifestyle.

Weekend getaway with friends.

We were 8 older people. The stairs made it a little tricky, but we enjoyed ourselves in spite of them. A great house. Great hot.

Family Weekend Fun!

My family rented this home to all be together to celebrate my mom's birthday! There was plenty of space, the house is huge. We spent most of our time on the middle level in the kitchen, game room, and theater. The theater seats were very comfortable and it was the perfect place for some downtime. The only negative is the train close by, and with it being an old home, voices travel and the floors creaked, so it could be pretty loud, but that was to be expected. The location was great and close to main st. for shops, bars, and restaurants, our favorite was Fried Green Tomatoes & Miss Kitty's Grape Escape.

Ladies Halloween weekend!

Property was gorgeous and exactly as advertised. We ranged in age 56-70, but in good shape. There were steps to deal with as most beds were on 3rd level so I recommend anyone who is considering the place be able to do steps. The location was perfect easy 3 block walk to the downtown area. We had no issues so never had to call Jim with any problems, but he sent a text right away to let him know if we had any problems. Would highly recommend.

Delightful stay in Galena

The mansion has been wonderfully preserved. Beautiful wood work and architecture. At the same time, it is equipped with ample air conditioning, bathrooms for each bedroom, sufficient electric outlets and nice hot showers. The rooms were spacious and surprisingly quiet from each other and the outside noises. The kitchen is small, but we were able to take turns cooking and the dining room was great. I do have a couple of housekeeping suggestions. We stayed 4 nights and did cook for 7 people each night so 3 dishwasher pods were not enough. Providing one for each day would be reasonable. An indoor recycling receptacle next to the trash would have been nice. The host was responsive to questions and the car charger was an added plus. We had a delightful time in Galena and would recommend the Mansion on Park Avenue.

This was our second time of staying here. We love it! It’s great location to walk to town and love all the bathrooms, with ten women staying here it works out perfect! We also love the theater room, we watch our hometown football play at state the past two years! James is a great host! Thanks again!

The location can't be beat. Short walk to downtown, on a hill with a great view and right next door to Belvedere House. The house was full of history and had beautiful furniture and comfortable beds. The ensuite bathrooms were also a big plus.

James was a great host! Loved his suggestions on places to visit and wine to drink. Very cool building- very clean and well maintained. We completely enjoyed our stay. Two things to be aware of- lots of stairs and lots of traffic on road. It can be quite noisy.

Girls’ Weekend

It was a great place for our girls’ weekend of old high school friends, with room for all 10 of us comfortably, including a few others who stopped by for a few hours one afternoon. Only suggestion would be to have one or two more chairs in that front parlor on the first floor. 60 yr old folks can only sit on the floor for so long… Loved the proximity to Main St, too.

Great weekend with friends

Property is historical and charming. Love the original decor, location, and size of the home made it really convenient for all our guests. It was great to have privacy and our own bathrooms when needed. I think the home has even more potential for upgrades in the future. TVs in the bedrooms would be a nice touch.
