Cute, sunlight from the front of the home and a lovely sun room looking out to the pleasant backyard. Driveway a plus. Not too far for a walk to downtown. Recommend a zig zag walk to make the return easier. A powder room on the first floor would be a great edition and adding handrails on both sides of the interior stairs. We happen to be there during a tornado warning and watch that had one that did touchdown in Lena. There was a big storm front of lots of rain and hail in Galena.. The host texted us to make sure that we were OK and that was very kind of her to do. Enjoy.

It was a cute house for a couples getaway without kids. Super close to downtown, which was great. Only thing the stairs in the house are very steep so just have to be careful. Other than that great house for 4 people!

We thought the home was very nice and decorated beautifully I felt Tanya did a wonderful job to make our stay was nice. I was in the hospitality industry for 38 years If I had to make any recommendations I would suggest possibly making a few changes to improve your guest experience 1 upgrade the bedding sheets 2, your backyard is beautiful but the back porch on the lower level needs to be cleaned and add additional LED lighting, at nighttime there is no outside lighting so you can’t enjoy the deck.3, I highly recommend adding a curtain or shade to the door on the lower level leading to the screened in porch.You currently don’t have anything to cover it at night.Your fountain is absolutely gorgeous and is an amazing asset to your backyard May I suggest having it emptied and cleaned. We have a fountain and I have a product that I put a ounce of in the water once a week and it keeps the alge from growing in the water If I could also suggest place a solar flood light on it at night it would be beautiful You might want to add an umbrella to your patio table Tanya these are all inexpensive itemsthat would truly make the home such an incredible experience.Thank you for having us in your lovely home.PS We had deer welcome us Friday when we arrived.

Charming brick house from a past era. Lovingly decorated in a historic theme but updated kitchen and baths. Cosy outdoor seating on screened porch and backyard. Two block walk (downhill) to Main St. A perfect spot for a retreat from today’s world.

2 Friends plus a mouse

2 Mom friends traveled to historic Galena for the weekend. The house was lovely but we did end up sharing it with a kitchen mouse. Also we were not able to log into our TV subscriptions successfully. Safe walkable neighborhood.
