Overall
The location was Great, GPS off a lil bit. There was a messy tree that our shoes dragged little buds in all the time. The key box was a little hard to open. The pool was not used because we couldn't figure out what or where to go. There are a lot of stairs. It is on three different floors. Missing was a home feeling. Little touches that make it feel personal. The beds were comfortable.

Fun couples stay
This a charming renovated coach house. Small kitchen but very cute. Very clean property. 4 counter seats and 2 chairs in front of a tv and warm electric fireplace. Second level has another bedroom/bath with a whirlpool tub, washer/dryer, leather couch and chair in front of a tv. Third level has a king bed and small bath with a shower. We had 2 couples there comfortably. You could put a 5th person on the couch. 6 block walk to downtown galena. I highly recommend Gobbies for Chicago style pizza at very reasonable prices. Free salads and bread bites too!! Timmermans supper club was a fun night too. 15 mile drive to that. Overall, a wonderful place to stay.

The Coachouse didn't disappoint! The space was immaculately clean and very nicely appointed. You can tell the property owners care about the quality of your stay! Comfy beds, plenty of towels, and linens. The second-floor family room is cozy. We have already recommended the property to friends looking to visit Galena. It's absolutely within walking distance of the Main Street shopping & restaurant district.

Girls weekend was great here, having 3 levels really worked out well for 4 pre teen girls. It was cute, cozy and warm. Not a good idea to run shower, bath and washer at the same time though….brrrrrrrrrr 😂 Would definitely stay here again.

Nice but not for us.
Property description and photos were accurate but living areas are very small. Difficult for 4 adults to sit comfortably. Many stairs and some steep. The upstairs bedroom was so hot we were only able to sleep with the windows open during winter time. Water in upstairs bathroom sink only trickles out but shower nice. It was very clean but weird layout which happens when you have an old structure.

This Coach House is better than the description and pics. Short walk to shops and restaurants and very spacious. Looking forward to coming back in the warmer months to take advantage of the deck. You won't be disappointed in this home. Very charming and has everything you would need for a stay in Galena.

Cute and Cozy
We loved it. Had everything we needed. Loved the fire place and kitchen area. Bedrooms and bathrooms were nice. We decided we want to come back in the summer to take more advantage of the outdoor area as well. Very close to downtown Galena. Other reviewers have commented on the stairs and while yes, a bathroom on the entry level where the kitchen/fireplace is located would be nice, it certainly was not a deal breaker for us. We really enjoyed our stay

Wonderful stay at the beautiful Coach house! Very clean and exactly as pictured. Didn’t cook at all while we were there, but had everything one would need. Beds and towels were awesome. There was major construction down the road, but the street will be very nice when finished. Didn’t bother us at all. Would definitely rent again, if back in Galena!

Sweet, quirky, comfortable stay
The Coach House was just as described and perfectly met our needs. We would definitely stay again. We enjoyed being able to walk to town to browse the shops and for dinner each evening. There is major construction right there at the end of the street, which confused our satnavs with streets being closed and makes for a bit longer walk to town right now. Also work noise meant our mornings started a bit earlier than we probably would have wanted on vacation, but really wasn’t that big of an issue. Once done, it will be an even more perfect place to stay.

Great Stay!
My husband and I come to Galena every year for our anniversary and usually stay in a hotel. This was our first year bringing our baby, so we thought a house would be a better choice. This house was awesome for the three of us! Walking distance from downtown, took us about 5 minutes to walk each way. Very quiet, comfortable beds, clean. We put all three of us in the third floor master and it was plenty of room! Pictures make it look a lot smaller than it is. We are already planning our next stay here!
