This was a cute little place to stay. Was really nice to have all the necessities there. The screen room was my favorite. We also enjoyed the location since the river is right there. The train is very loud sometimes and runs often. Needs a few updates such as toilet guts/handle and some extra curtains throughout the home but overall was a great stop. Very beautiful location.
Both good and not so good. It was clean and near the water. The area is very pretty nearby.I had googled Galena cottages and this cottage came up. I saw that it was 9 minutes away but I later found out that that is by boat. In a car this is 45 minutes from Galena. Upsetting if Galena is why you came and you don't know the area. Also this is in a sort of campground. Finding the driveway in the dark was quite difficult. The season probably makes a difference...we came in the fall. Everything inside is very old. This can be charming to certain people but I wish I had known that a lot of the outlets where made for only 2 prongs. There isn't very many outlets and the bedroom with the bunk beds doesn't have any near the head of the bed. The bunk beds by the way has a shower curtain rod as the railing for the top bunk and is in the closet and the dresser drawers are full so other than a few hooks on the wall don't expect to hang or put away clothes. The mattress in this room was very difficult to sleep on because it has a big dent in the middle and we could not get comfortable and had achy backs in the morning. There is a lot of signs around like no hot plates on the table. Nothing mean but a lot of them it made me feel like I couldn't relax. If you are wanting to sit around the fire outside you should know to bring your own chairs.
good place for us
We couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay here. Janae is so kind and made our stay comfortable and easy. Location was stellar and the cottage was clean and homey. We’ll definitely return!
Perfect cottage by the Mississippi River with a wonderful view from the screened in sunporch. Spent mornings there with my coffee and watched the sun rise and listened the birds sing their greetings. Could not ask for a better place to unwind.
Wonderful location with a spectacular screened in porch. Both mornings sat out there with my coffee and watched the sun rise over the Mississippi River while listening to a chorus of bird songs. Perfection!
Yes! You can see the Mississippi River from this property. And YES this property is adorable. It truly is like stepping back in time to the mid-twentieth century & it is neat as a pin. However, the way that this property was situated-- overlooking a busy parking lot next to the boat launch & public restrooms -- was not what we expected. Still, we enjoyed our stay.

This was a super clean and cozy cottage and we enjoyed our stay very much! The host made sure the home was equipped with anything we could have needed. She happened to be at the cottage upon our arrival so it was great to meet her and get a quick run down of the property. The screen porch and fire pit where we spent a great deal of time! A perfect place to relax, catch up and connect!!
Charming spot near good hiking, and a pretty drive to Galena
Nice, clean cottage close to the Mississippi River. We enjoyed our stay.
Spent most of our time outdoors. Location was good. Enjoyed the screened in porch and the fire pit. Loved the area for hiking and biking
