We absolutely love staying at the Bavarian Brew House. My kids enjoyed the basement activities, and it is so much better than staying in a hotel. One day it rained, and it was nice to have a house to go back to and hang out. We played games at night in the dining room and the amenities were great. It was also a great neighborhood to take my morning walks.

This house is a must stay for a visit in Galena. The house was very clean, had everything that we could possible need and much more! We really enjoyed the basement area.

Awesome property with a rich history!

We absolutely loved our stay at the brew house! The owners, Mike and Angela were very friendly, responsive and great to work with. The house is super clean and decorated so nicely. You can tell a lot of thought went into the details including the heated towel rack and the shower in the master bedroom had 3 different shower heads! Check in was easy and there was a lot of useful info about the property, including the history and pertinent contact info including WiFi passwords. The basement was awesome! Complete with shuffleboard and fire place. The property is close enough to walk to town, but there are some big hills getting there and back! The one thing I would add would be a chair in each of the front bedrooms since the bed is too high to sit on to put on a pair of socks! Other than that, the home was perfect and we really enjoyed our stay! Thank you Mike and Angela!

Perfect spot for us!

Spent a long weekend with my adult daughters to celebrate one of their birthdays. This home is beautifully decorated. The beds were very comfortable and the location was perfect for us. It was a lot of fun to walk downtown. The car stayed in the driveway all weekend. Galena is such a fun town.

A beautiful home exquisitely and tastefully renovated. Easy walk to town. Just a warning for those (possibly) in the 70+ age range as we are… The stairs are a little steep and can be a minor challenge. But we’ll worth the climb!

The Home was WONDERFUL .Well appointed. Historical in nature. Well kept.Clean . Stocked. Fun Basement surprise . Don’t want to give the surprise away. 3 Roomy bedrooms . Loved everything about it. Would stay again and again. One small note on parking . Parking for only 2 vehicles . If you had 3 you could park on the street.

This house is pristine. My friends and I enjoyed this house with its history. Very beautifully decorated. Would totally stay there again

The house was cozy and clean. It was stylishly decorated. Conveniently located near downtown Galena. We loved the house.

It was a perfect house and location for us to stay. Can’t say enough good things about the house. I’d give it 10 stars if I could

Had a wonderful time in beautiful Galena and loved the Brew House. Our favorite was enjoying drinks in the basement while playing shuffle board.

We had a delightful stay. Wonderful remodel of a historic house. Felt pampered by the amenities.

This home is just beautiful! Very comfortable beds and very clean! The master bathroom and shower are amazing and we found everything we needed in the well stocked kitchen to enjoy some food and drinks. The location was so convenient for our sons wedding venue at Ashton Hill Farm.

Beautiful home, privacy, location, easy , all brochures, complete access to staple items, linens & home VERY CLEAN❣️ IF POSSIBLE, SET UP NOW GOR SAME DATES NEXT YEAR PLEASE.

We stayed at this beautiful home for a friend's reunion and the house was very clean and lovely. There was sidewalk construction right outside the front windows, but nothing the owners had control of. Very convenient location. We were close to downtown but choose to drive due to the hills. The beds were comfortable. All bedrooms are up, so pack light. The kitchen had everything we needed and plenty of paper goods to get up thru. I would definitely come back to this house when visiting Galena again.

The House is beautiful! It's very well equipped and clean. Has everything you need, and looked like the pictures. The bed very comfortable in the master bedroom. The only complaint was the street directly in front of the house was completely torn up, including the sidewalk. We couldn't use the driveway, and heavy construction started at 7am each morning. Tge Owner did not notify us about this.

I booked this house for a girls' getaway/50th birthday celebration and it was perfect. The beds were incredibly comfy. The whole house is beautifully decorated, has a full modern kitchen and laundry facilities, and is within walking distance of all of the action. And you have to check out the cellar! There's so much history in this house. Definitely a place I'd book again.

Wonderfully restored historic home, but with modern comfort! You are surrounded by the rich local history with historical architecture and furnishings, but yet you feel comfortable enough to sit on the furniture, safely turn on lights, and take a shower with sufficient water pressure! Definitely best of old and new!

Beautifully maintained historical home. It was spotless and the amenities were first class. The home is located very close to downtown with lots of fun stores and restaurants. I highly recommend the 1842 Brewhouse for your next stay in Galena.

This is a wonderful property that has been updated very nicely such that you have the beauty of a historic home, while also having modern bathrooms and kitchen for your comfort and convenience. We really enjoyed this home, its location (close to downtown) and the owners were very responsive and nice! The beds were very comfortable, and the layout of the home makes it feel bigger than the 2400 sq ft would suggest. If you are going to Galena, I strongly recommend you consider staying here!

The house is beautiful and has a great history. I highly recommend it and hope to return in the future. My only request would be that somewhere in the home description, it is stated that construction is taking place on Highway 20/Spring Street. It's only fair for guests to be aware, PRIOR to booking, of what they may be experiencing upon arrival. Cons: * House was not clean upon arrival. We had to clean, do laundry, and make beds. * Heavy construction was taking place in front of home and throughout town. It "may" be done in front of home but if not, expect early wake up, minor delays & no access to the driveway. Construction WILL continue on the main highway just two houses down from VRBO. PROS: *Mistakes happen, it's how they're handled that matters and our issues were resolved quickly, politely, and very effectively. Halie is outstanding and through her actions to resolve the housekeeping issue, I was able to see the home with brand new eyes. LOVED this house!! * Hosts were traveling but were very quick to respond to our concerns upon their return. They repeatedly expressed their apologies for the frustration experienced with both the housekeeping issue and construction. They were quite generous and sincere in their efforts to turn this situation around. I appreciate and thank them for all they did to make things right. They earned the Premiere Host status. * The cons created a bad impression at the outset, and we considered leaving early. I'M GLAD WE DIDN'T!

My sister, niece, daughter, and I enjoyed a very relaxing weekend in Galena and our stay at the Brew House. The beds were very comfortable and the home appointed extremely well. The only challenge was the road construction out in front of the home but the owners communicated ahead to warn us of the inconvenience. Highly recommend this property.

This historical house is beautiful, has everything you would need for a great stay in Galena. The house is well stocked, beds super comfortable, everything just as described. The patio area was our favorite, so nice to relax in the evening with the fire pit table. The basement tavern area was really interesting, too. Couldn't have asked for a nicer place for our girls' trip to Galena.

We loved the stay and everything was well appointed. First class.

We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay in this beautiful, historic home. The home was clean, comfortable, well-stocked, and conveniently located. The owners were pleasant and easy to work with.

My 2 friends and I love, love, love this Bavarian Brew house. It was very clean, beautifully decorated, and well-stocked with toilet paper, Kleenex, and other essentials. Halie, the housekeeper, does an excellent job of cleaning this house.The cellar was awesome, loved reading about the history of it and playing shuffleboard. We, also, loved the automatic lights that came on in certain rooms. We would definitely stay here again!

The 1842 Baverian Brewhouse was the perfect rental during our daughter’s wedding weekend. The house is beautiful and comfortable. My wife and I were joined by our 2 adult sons and their wives. Three rooms with king or queen size beds were perfect. We used the well stacked kitchen to prepare food for the wedding party and ourselves. The outside patio was our final spot for a drink after the rehearsal dinner and then wedding reception. We only wish we had more time to play shuffleboard in the basement tavern. Great location. We hope to return for an anniversary weekend.

My group of 5 women were very happy with this home. We we’re excited at the fact that the building was built before the Civil War, and we loved how the house had been renovated. It had the historical charm with all the modern updates. The stone basement area was fascinating! We enjoyed the patio with the fire pit in the evening. I would love to return to this home, and we will all definitely recommend it to our families and friends!

Our girl’s trip to Galena was a great time and we really enjoyed having this beautiful and comfortable home base to enjoy.

Great property! We’ll be sure to check on his home’s availability the next time we’re in Galena. Plenty of amenities if needed, loved everything about our stay!

This home provided us with a perfect extended weekend stay for our son’s wedding at Ashton Hill Farms. The property was equipped with all the modern amenities and conveniences while maintaining its historic charm. The location was also within walking distance of downtown. I would highly recommend this property to anyone heading to Galena.
