Quaint place Close to Galena downtown
We enjoyed our time at this location and the owners were super communicative and very helpful. One thing I didn’t understand from the listing is that the bottom floor of this home is empty currently. also didn’t understand that the bathroom would be in the hallway and not enclosed in the two room and sitting area suite. Place was clean, and the beds were very comfortable. You can walk to town in 12 minutes and we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Vintage House
The house was beautiful. I loved all the original items in the house, and it definitely felt like stepping back in time a little without taking away from the modern comforts of today. The hosts were also very responsive and helpful throughout the booking process and the trip itself. They left cute little goody bags in each bedroom of some food items, and had some extra items in the house that you might have forgot at home (tooth brush, floss, shampoo/conditioner, and even ear plugs!) I love Galena, and we’ll definitely be back to stay at the Driftless Get Away again.

Very cozy and perfect location
Great place walking distance to historical downtown Galena. Rooms were cozy and beds were very comfortable. I typically have a hard time sleeping in a different bed from my own, but these beds were great. Look forward to staying here again!

Galena
This is the second floor of a house on the historic tour. My friend and I absolutely loved the layout and furniture. Extremely clean and very comfortable. The owners thought of everything, treat bags, coffee, tea, a small fridge, fluffy towels, extra pillows and blankets. Great location to Main Street. Beautiful time of year. We will definitely be back!!

Even better the second time
This was my second time staying at this property. The first time was with my husband a few years ago and this time was with my best friend for a girls weekend. The house was even cuter this time around, and is stocked with whatever you need. Very thoughtful touches throughout. Keep in mind, it is an old historic home so even though it was not an issue for us personally, there are steep-ish stairs up to the second level and a clawfoot tub for the shower that doesn't have the best drainage so it may be difficult for those with mobility issues. But we love old homes with all their quirks so this just added to the charm of our stay. Also, the location is just perfect. The next time we visit Galena we'll probably try to stay here yet again! Awesome experience overall.

Convenient and cozy location
This was an ideal property to stay at while visiting Galena. Walking distance to downtown, nice common sitting area with two separate bedrooms. Owners were wonderful to work with. Would definitely stay here again!
