My best friend and I utilized this property for our annual girls weekend.
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.

First time visitor to Galena and loved this house and the town.

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.

My adult son and I try to take a a small-scale road trip together every Spring. 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.

We had a great time here! location was great, comfortable beds, we had 2 cars and easy street parking for the 2nd. There was a cozy hangout spot on the main level, just a perfect house for a girls weekend. Very clean and lots of character.

It is a beautiful little home. But they should be more clear about the second bedroom is in the basement . The kids were suppose to stay in that room but the door has glass windows and can be broke in easily . There is no dead bolt. We are city people and did not feel that this house was secure. I ended up in the basement bedroom and I was even scared.It doesn’t have a window shade so anyone can see in. I will make sure the next house has security system or stay in hotel.

The place was a little smaller than expected and so somewhat tight for 4 adults. Bathrooms were a bit uncomfortable. Overall, an okay stay, cozy, but tight.

This is a beautifully restored cottage with one gorgeous bedroom downstairs with a half bath and one nice sized bedroom on the top floor with a full bath. The attention to the historic detail of the property is amazing and it is perfectly designed. The ground level has a small kitchen, sitting room and dining room/ media space. It is small but was perfect for the 3 of us life long friends to gather. It does only have one parking space but street parking is available and worked for us. It is within walking distance from the Main street where the shopping/ restaurants are but be in shape for the walk back uphill. 😁 Tanya the owner was very responsive to messages and it was clean and well supplied with towels, kitchen gadgets etc. Should we plan our next girlfriend getaway in the area would definitely reserve again!
