Girls Getaway
We have the most amazing time as a great away with my mom, sister, and son. It was our first time in Galena and it was absolutely the perfect spot! The home is lovely, very comfortable, and in an amazing location! All of the info that Mary has available to guests helped us pick some great restaurants and shops! We will be back!

Beautiful house in a great location
We wanted to go to Galena for a long weekend with my adult children over spring break. The house is located one block north of Main Street and the three story house has great views of the city. We were able to walk to everything even the local magic show. The house is beautiful and even more importantly very comfortable. We all slept well in the bedrooms which were warm and super cosy. A good night sleep is so important after days of shopping and hiking. We were only a group of 4 but the house could comfortably accommodate many more people. I would highly recommend.

Eight women stayed for the weekend for our second time and we had a fabulous time at the house and in town! This house has a lot of history and the owners have done a great job keeping it beautiful! With all the historic charm! It has everything you need and then some. The linens are super nice and comfy! Owner, Mary, is very friendly and answers emails quickly!

Historic & lovely
Just steps away from downtown Galena for wonderful shopping and dining. There are a lot of stairs in the house so keep that in mind, and stairs walking to and from downtown as Church street sit above the downtown. Private parking a plus, but street parking didn't seem to be a problem. To our surprise bedrooms were all spacious and decorated so lovey. Wonderful character in the house from woodwork to beautiful light fixtures, Met the neighbor next door, lovely person. She even took a few pictures of our group before we checked out. Our stay here for girls weekend created great memories for us, Thank you!

Mini family reunion
We had a mini family reunion with 6 adults and 2 kids, and this beautiful house worked really well for us. It’s convenient to everything and made for a very fun Halloween night stay. We felt like we were in the Sirius Black’s hideout. Fun place for sure!

Perfect for a Girls' Getaway
Four of my friends and I stayed here for 3 nights. We had a wonderful time. The space is just what we needed. The main floor with the kitchen and living room had all we needed to feel at home. We each had our own bedroom space where we could rest comfortably. The house is the best location if you plan to spend a lot of time downtown, which is something I highly recommend. The walk to the shops and coffee houses is down only one flight of steps. Another big plus is the private parking. We've stayed at other places and have had to park in the street or in tight parking lots, but this house has its own private driveway. That's a big win. Overall we had a wonderful trip and we felt right at home. We definitely plan to stay here again.

A House with History
The house was very charmingly decorated with beautiful high quality antique furniture, rugs, and paintings. It was probably the most beautifully decorated vacation rental that I've rented so far. We had a wonderful time in Galena shopping, eating, and listening to live music. I like that you can walk everywhere you need to go and the house has private parking! We would certainly stay in this house again!

Girls trip to Galena
Beautiful historic home very close to shopping. Accommodations were lovely and comfortable seating for our group when dining and visiting. Only wish was that there was another shower. With eight people staying and only one shower we really had to coordinate. Bath tub on the 3rd floor was beautiful but not really convenient. Even with that said, we would all highly recommend your row house to anyone visiting Galena.

Annual Girls Trip
Our group of six women (ages 48-61) absolutely loved our stay in the Galena Row House! Very welcoming accommodations with special touches to make our stay even better. Great view from the house and one street up from Main Street where there is an abundance of GREAT dining options and fabulous shopping. One set of stairs from our street down to Main. Within a stone's throw is the Galena Bakehouse for quick breakfast treats--don't miss the Breakfast Empanadas! Highlights included the Trolley Tour of Galena (a must-do), lunch on the patio of Vinny Vanucci's Italian restaurant, the Bread Pudding at Embe (went back for it four times!) and the unique shops. The Row House gets 5 Stars for location alone...we didn't need a car to access all the shops and restaurants. We parked two SUVs easily in the driveway. The one shower worked just fine for six women, and there is an additional soaking tub and a powder room, so it all worked. We so appreciated the extra air-conditioning in the top-floor bedrooms. I highly recommend this property and I hope to come back here again soon! Thank you for sharing your beautiful, historic home with us.

The location of this property is perfect! Close walking distance to Main Street. Property was a well maintained beautiful historic home on a quiet street. You had a little “old world charm” from the church bells next door— but still provided a quiet nights sleep. Patio and outdoor spaces made this the perfect getaway place for my girlfriend’s group! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us!

The house was beautiful. It is perfectly located 1 block up from Main St. This was a family and friends weekend stay for my parents birthday weekend get away. We enjoyed the history of the house and the layout was unique. Only having 1 shower was a bit of a struggle but their were plenty of outlets in the bedrooms to get ready after showers so it worked ok. Thank you for this unique experience! We will be back again.

Lots of stairs, amazing location
Can’t beat the location. Bypass struggles with parking and walk to the shops (if you can manage stairs; it’s a street UP from the river/Main Street). The house also requires stairs to get to the bedrooms. The house is beautifully restored, with so many amazing features- a first level shaded porch and six chairs, large dining table, games for kids, small lawn area, tv area with two couches and Tv. Parking was great— two cars fit next to each other and a third behind; you have to do a little maneuvering with three, but there is free street parking, and you likely won’t drive much. Overall, we couldn’t have chosen a better place for our stay and thank the owners for keeping this piece of history alive.

Friends and spouse in Galena RowHouse
Our little family and friends outing turned out just about perfect, thanks in no small part to the wonderful accommodations. The Galena RowHouse is exactly as listed - charming, inviting, immaculate, full of character and comfort. Also steeped in history and graced everywhere with little personal touches by the hosts. Whether into snow sports, bird watching, gourmet cuisine, card games with weird rules (what can I say, we are an idiosyncratic bunch) or something else entirely, you will be glad you stayed here.
