Perfect location in downtown Galena a short walk to shopping, restaurants and nightlife. The house was perfect for my family of 5 with a bed for everyone. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner in the well stocked kitchen and had no problem finding whatever utensil or pot/pan that we needed. The house was very clean and stocked with towels, soap, shampoo, etc... We will not hesitate to rent it again.

This was the perfect property for us. Once we arrived and parked the car we didn’t have to drive anywhere. We were able to walk Main Street and we were located just steps from several of our favorite restaurants and wineries. We enjoyed the fact there were enough beds for all of us and 2 bathrooms as well. The house was very well stocked and we enjoyed the extra blankets and pillows for movie night.

Lauren’s home was very clean and nicely furnished. Air conditioning was set just right with fans in each room for more air flow which was helpful in the upstairs bedrooms. The kitchen was stocked well with appliances and utensils. Great location for heading down to the Main street in Galena. Lauren gave tips for parking and bypassing construction. We enjoyed our stay in this home!

This house was very nice for our girls’ weekend in Galena! Parking was easy and readily available and everything on Main Street was within walking distance. The house was well stocked with everything we needed and very clean too! The disco ball made our Saturday night even more fun! Thanks for a great stay!

Charming old house in the center of downtown
Great location, very close to main street. Charming old home that has been completely renovated. The owner had thought of everything and is very helpful to work with. The only trade off is some noticible road and train noise that is hard to avoid in the city.

This house is clean, well-appointed, and within one minute's walk of downtown Galena. The owner, Lauren, was responsive to emails and very helpful. I highly recommend you check out the Downtown House. You'll be glad you did.

Great house, great location!
Fantastic location less than a block from restaurants/shops on Main Street. Adorable, clean, charming old house with modern amenities, though we actually didn't spend much time there since it was so close to everything! Lauren was a great host - responsive, accommodating and helpful. Our whole family loved their stay, and we definitely hope to return soon!

Girls Galena Weekend
We were a group of girlfriends looking for a place large enough to accommodate us. Lauren's property was perfect. Her home was beautiful and the location just off Main Street made for easy access to stroll through the shops and dine at the restaurants. We have already decided if we do another girls Galena trip we would stay here again.
