    Beautiful home. Comfortable decor. Lauren has all the points covered in case anything pops up. She is very helpful and accessible to any questions that I had. We would definitely return!

    We had a group of six adults celebrating a 60th birthday working with Lauren was easy and seamless. The home is so cute and located perfectly within walking distance to all of downtown Galena’s historical shops, restaurants and bars. Lauren stocks this home with many starters and lots of extras. Every guest from our group stated they would rent this home again to enjoy all that Galena has to offer. It should be mentioned that the upper bedroom with twin beds is a walk through to the master bedroom. And the downstairs bathroom is a beautiful clawfoot tub that offers a hand held sprayer for showering, however there is no curtain to actually stand and shower. The designated parking spot is down the street but an easy walk, we pulled up to the home to unload and load with our hazards on and had no issues.With that said, no one from our group was bothered by the mentions above; however if you have difficulties, limitations or are handicap this may not be the rental for you.We really enjoyed the large round table to play games, talk, eat breakfast and our night time snacks. The back porch was great for early morning coffee & watch it rain. Lauren also is an artist with some of her work for sale, two of us purchased some of her beautiful work.Thanks again Lauren for sharing your lovely home with us. We hope to return soon!

    The Downtown House is a block off Main Street. It is very accessible to shops, and it is easy to get to HWY 20 and grocery stores, gas stations, and the very interesting Galena Center of the Arts. It offers a parking space which is helpful since many visitors are parking on the nearby streets. Our hostess, Lauren was wonderful. I highly reccommend this rental.

    The house is roomy with a great kitchen and location. Didn’t need to drive anywhere in town, except grocery store, and really enjoyed our time spent there.

    House is in the absolute perfect location for a girls weekend, 1 block from shopping & restaurants. Around the corner from great LIVE music on Fri & Sat. Enjoyed the back porch for some R & R time before dinner. Walking the levy to Grant Park was also awesome! Can't wait to return!Lauren is one of the best VRBO hosts, I have ever dealt with, communicated quickly. Shared suggestions, everything was perfect!

    Check-in and out were seemless. The house is super clean, adorable and had all of the amenities and then some. The owners thought of everything. We also spent a lot of time on the cozy back deck. We love visiting Galena and will definitely rent this amazing home again!

    We had such a great time visiting Galena and staying in this house steps away from Main Street! Loved people watching from the deck. The house was clean, charming and everything we hoped it would be!

    Cute, cozy, comfortable house with a great location. Stayed with my family for a few days to go skiing at Chestnut Mountain. Less than a block from several restaurants, which was much appreciated after a long day on the slopes. Would definitely stay again!
