    We liked the home. The location was good too. The noise from traffic and trains ruined it for us. It was constant throughout the night. Sleeping was next to impossible with the level of noise.

    This is a quaint 1800's house that is just a short 5 min walk from downtown Galena. Location is fantastic. Hosts were very easy to work with and had excellent communication! Cozy 2 bed with sitting area - no TV, but lots of games and spots to curl up with a good book. Narrow stairs up to unit as mentioned in description. The unit is a bit drafty and had some ladybugs during our stay - but expected in a home of this age. Also to note -- is right on one of the main streets and near train tracks, so if you are a light sleeper, bring earplugs, as it can get noisy. Overall a wonderful place to stay while visiting Galena!

    We had such a wonderful experience. Host was great at communicating and was so kind to leave a few treats to enhance our stay. The accommodations were very quaint, comfortable and clean and appreciated that they stocked items just in case (toothbrush, shampoo, etc.). Parking was a big plus as was the very close proximity to downtown Galena- easy walk but far enough away from the hustle & bustle. Hope to stay again soon!

    Quite the quaint and charming place. Decorated vintage style and is super cute. Went with a friend and we both found the beds to be really comfortable! This is a 2nd story unit. Hosts had individual snacks for us and Kcups for the kuerig machine which was a nice touch! Parking was available right behind unit. Easy to get downtown walking or driving. There is not a full kitchen but a mini refrig, microwave and kuerig machine which was all we needed. We spent the days shopping and going to the Christmas festival. Did an ugly Christmas sweater food tour which was amazing and lots of fun!

    Perfect location, in walking distance if downtown Galena. One thing to note, there’s no stove so you’re not going to be able to cook anything. However there’s a small fridge, so you can bring snacks.

    The sheets and towels smelled amazing. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable. Loved this place so much! My only thing was the curtain in the bathroom was tied back so the bathroom was exposed to the outside. I could've taken the tie out, but didn't want to mess with it or mess up the curtain. Also, couldn't find and or reach any outdoor lights on the front porch, so it was difficult to navigate at night. We would rent again!

    Well appointed 2 bedroom unit with ple ty of amenities. Hairdryer, charging cords, saahampoo, conditioner, first aid kit, personal hygiene items, snacks, blankets, coffee, creamer, sugar, kids area with games, toys, coloring books and card games. 3 separate living areas including a pull out couch. A fully functioning sink was located in the guest room along with a faux wood burning fireplace for ambience. Loads of antiques and charm throughout the home. Perfect location just before the bridge and within walking distance to Main street. Super quaint and lots of room! Would definitely stay here again.

    The property was nice however it was located right on Hwy 20 and it was very noisy. The window air conditioners ( that were not needed) did not allow the window to be closed and therefore limit the noise.

    This is a well-kept older building near the center of town, just across the river from the historic town center and direct access to the Galena River Trail. There are stairs to get up to the unit on the second floor. The rooms were comfortable and all of the fixtures work well for their age. It's definitely worth the stop if you're going to be in Galena or want to explore the greater Driftless region.

    We traveled to Galena for the annual country market weekend and the location was perfect! While we drank our coffee before walking down the hill to the market we noticed lines and lines of cars trying to find a parking spot. The cars just kept coming in all weekend long! This place was the perfect spot for a zero stress weekend! Super cute bedrooms and easy walking to all Galena has to offer. Five stars!!!

    The part of the house that this listing is, is located on the second floor. Stairs are steep and narrow. The rooms are large and furnished with vintage and antique furniture. It is very cozy.

    The shared living room was very nice for visiting. An extra effort was made to have items you might need that you didn't think of available. Like ear plugs...Rt. 20 is very noisy at night and the train tracks are close. The one husband that was bothered the first night, used the ear plugs and slept well the next few. Very clean.
