We played board games and ordered in pizza our first night. The second day we spent shopping and tasting wines. We had tons of fun at the Scent Workshop. Dinner at Fries Green Tomatoes. We had plenty of room for 8 young ladies. We rented the entire house. Perfect location for walking.

Our group included four sisters and our four adult daughters. We had an amazing time shopping, dining, and doing the distillery tour. The location of the house is a PERFECT walking distance to the Main Street shops and restaurants.

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!

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!

Quick walk down town.

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!

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!

The location of the property is great; steps to downtown. The property was clean but does need some general maintenance.

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.

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.

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!

Excellent place to stay. So close to downtown. Perfect for our girls weekend.

This house was perfect for our girls trip. We enjoyed spending time in the house hanging out in the living room. It was also a short walk to downtown, which was perfect for us.

We stayed here with 3 other couples for a 40th Birthday. This house was in the perfect spot. Quiet neighborhood, but with it walking distance to everything! House has personality and charm! Would definitely book again.

We stayed the weekend to hold a small bachelorette for a girlfriend. We rented the whole house and it was absolutely perfect for what we needed. We held a small brunch which the kitchen and bar area were perfect for. The beds were all extremely clean and comfortable and we loved the outdoor patio space! Location is so great as well! Thanks for a great stay! Will absolutely stay here again!

The home was perfect. It was plenty big enough for our group of 8. The location could not have been more convienient. Everything was in walking distance, never had to move the car once we arrived. Deb was a perfect host. She stopped by the night we arrived to make sure things were as anticipated. The beds were very comfortable after walking all day shopping. The VFW was a favorite! Hope to see Deb and her beautiful home and city of Galena agin!!!! THANK YOU!

This is the perfect house for spending the weekend in downtown Galena - seven of us were in town for a bachelorette celebration. We had so much fun! Bear in mind, this is an old house that has been updated, so it is quirky as old homes are, but it's really cute. The great room with the bar was perfect for hanging out in the evening. Since the house is only a few steps from downtown, it was ideal to be able to return to the house to drop off purchases and easily go right back out for meals or drinks. Great time!
4.8
Check in was easy. House was clean and very roomy and we had 10 guys with no issue. House is right off of downtown would recommend to anyone.

Went for a girls weekend with 6 friends. Had the whole house to ourselves. Plenty of room for hanging out and sleeping. The location was perfect, could walk to everything. Would definitely stay here again.
4.8
The price was reasonable and the location was great (and if that's key for you, this is your spot), it was - on balance - just average. What did we like? The beds were comfortable; ample and comfortable linens, etc. The place was very clean and appeared very well kept. The internet connection worked great. Also, the owner was pretty responsive when we needed questions answered. (But we were never able to figure out how to use the satellite TV for some sporting events we were hoping to watch and didn't want to keep bothering the owner -- Recommend they put better TV instructions in the unite).
What we didn't care for: parking is available only on the street and you can't keep cars on street all night every night of the week (so depends when you're going to be there ... but check that). The kitchen was really too small for a group our size (we had 8 women). Not much counter space (although there is an island). We didn't do much cooking, but if we had planned to do so, that kitchen could have been a real challenge! The downstairs bathroom is nice, but the upstairs bathroom is small (consistent with the age of the house). Because the house is older, some of the doors tend to be really creaky at night. But the biggest issue for us was that the "family room" just didn't have enough seating for a group our size -- one couch and two chairs (while comfy) just weren't enough. If the weather had been nice, we may have been able to enjoy the outdoor space, which seemed really nice, but it was too cold/rainy for us to enjoy anything outdoors. In addition to not having much room in the family room, there was no common dining area or large table for us all to sit around together at once. That might have been nice to have had a large table where we could all be seated.
So, in conclusion, so great things to like about this ... and a few that we found not as great! But can't beat the location if you want to be close to downtown Galena.
