Convenient, great location
Deb was an excellent hostess, helpful and quick to answer questions. The location was absolutely great to walk downtown and come back to thoughout the day. Nice to have the two parking spots, although a little difficult to maneuver in and out of. The home itself while very clean and well kept was old and the decor out dated, but again fit the Galena atmosphere. Overall a very nice stay and met all out needs.

Great Location
Great location, easy access to downtown. Spacious home,well stocked with everything you needed.The problems we encountered were the front door did nothave a secure lock, this made us feel uncomfortable. Also,the upstairs bedrooms were uncomfortably warm... the upper level air conditioning was not working in the bedrooms.

Adorable house great location
The house has very cozy and in walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. Owner is very quick to respond to any questions and when I told her I was coming to town to spend Christmas with my daughter she very thoughtfully had a tree up and decorated in the house I highly recommend this property

accommodates large group
We had 8 in our group of an all-girl 3 generation family annual Xmas trip during the luminary's weekend. The house was so close to Main Street, we were able to walk downtown. Because of this, we were able to come and go as needed as there were different agendas with a large group. Lovely house with plenty of room and comfortable beds There was a large table to accommodate all of us to eat together and play cards. Kitchen well stocked with everything needed for meals. Prompt response from host when needed.

Family Getaway
This house was a great find for our family getaway. Plenty of room for our party of 8 (including three adult children, spouses and a grandchild). Large dining room table for meals and games, plenty of seating options in the living room, and a bedroom for everyone. A Christmas tree was a nice touch! Added bonus, the house is within walking distance to the Galena shopping area-eliminating the need to try to find a place to park which can be next to impossible at times. Highly recommend.

Wisconsin Sister's Weekend
We choose Galena as our annual Sister's weekend. This cozy home is blocks from the downtown. Perfect! This house had plenty of room for all five of us including two bathrooms. The large table in the dining room is where we spent a lot of our time. We also enjoyed the downtown for hours and hours with the cute clothing boutiques, wineries and restaurants. Thank you Deborah for recommending Embe's, the food was very good. We also went to Chestnut Mountain for a ride down the mountain, which was awesome. Give it a try!
Thank you Debroah for being such a good host.
