The house is quiet, dog friendly, and close to downtown. The host is friendly and prompt with responding to any questions. This house is always a great place to stay while visiting Galena.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and found everything to be exactly as advertised. The hosts were readily available if needed from first day to last, and made us feel very much at home. All directions/instructions relating to our stay left nothing to the imagination or guesswork, and we found nothing more that we needed other than the essentials we brought with or that were supplied at the residence itself. The location was also perfect, nestled in a wooded setting and within walking distance of downtown Galena as well as a short drive to our business in Dubuque. Finally, all of the above at a very reasonable cost. Would definitely return.
The check in and check out process was super easy. The location was either a 12 minute walk or an easy 3 min car ride to downtown Galena. The cottage was clean and inviting. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook with. There were multiple streaming apps that we could choose movies and shows from. A great place to stay when wanting to visit Galena.
Very clean and very quiet neighborhood. Very spacious. It is an older home but has everything you need for your stay. Nice yard for a dog. If you enjoy exercise and walking to Main Street and back, it is a great workout with the hills going back.
Came to Galena for a wedding .The home owner responds promptly to messages. The house is walking distance to downtown. Dog friendly and spacious for 4 to 6 adults and our pups. Enjoyed our stay.
Expectations for the stay were not met for the cost per night. Musty ordor meant one guest had to secure a hotel. Surprisingly dreary feel about the place with window ac not operating all over the house so HOT upon arrival. Not really within walking distance to downtown. Left early.
We loved staying here! This was the most well equipped house weâve ever stayed in. We had everything we could need and more. It was great to stay in one of the historic homes of Galena. Would highly recommend.
As always, this house was a great stay for my annual trip to Galena with my sisters. Its always clean and well maintained, with good communuction
regarding details needed. We also love tge convenient location.
Perfect for my family of 4-5 adults. In town for a family wedding. Hills did make walking downtown impossible. No Ubers, hard to find transportation downtown be prepared to drive. But the hills, narrow, winding streets are what make Galena charming.
Nice outdoor space. Kitchen perfect as I had to prep a wedding cake.
We had a great few days staying in Galena. Was easy to walk into town and back which was great both during the day and for dinner.
Very well equipped house for those who prefer to stay in and cook.
Recommended!
Very accurately described - cozy cottage walking distance to downtown Galena - owners were very communicative and house was clean and well maintained. Would be nice to have some more patio furniture, firepit type things as there's a spacious yard -
My sister and I love weekend trips in Galena and have stayed at this cottage multiple times. The owners are always available to answer any questions and the cottage is always welcoming.
Enjoyed our time in Galena! Had to drive everywhere, since I had an elderly person with me who could not have walked the hills. A little tricky for her to get down the stairs to the front door of the house but the sturdy railing helped. The main floor bedroom and bathrooms were great for her. No bathrooms on the second floor, but that was OK for those of us who slept up there. Was glad there were two bathrooms. I really liked having no house chores to do the morning we left. Only had to put the key in the lock box. The house gave us a lovely opportunity to visit, make meals and relax.
This property gives us a full sense of calm and gratitude and keeps us ever mindful that our time off allows us to grow. In the heart of the historic district. Walking distance to downtown.
