Great weekend stay

This property was great for a weekend Galena visit with friends! Close enough to downtown to walk, but far enough away to stay quiet at night. The hosts were communicative and helpful! Would stay here again.

Weekend getaway

The Nook was perfect. The yard is perfect if you have dogs and the host catered to our four legged friends with beds, toys and treats. Although the railroad tracks are nearby it wasn’t as loud as expected. They are that frequent and fun to watch. Close proximity to town and could walk downtown if preferred.

Amazing location!!!

This home was soooooo convenient!! The house is very charming and beds were comfortable. The back yard is huge and would be so ideal for dogs. We enjoyed the hot tub as well. The house is a little small. We had 5 adults staying, but probably wouldn’t recommend for any larger group.

Wonderful Stay

Thanks, Phil & Casey!The home was in a perfect location & superb amenities.We brought our two doggos & they thoroughly enjoyed the backyard. Completely secure & fenced in, a tad dark at the back of the property for past sunset - bring a flashlight! There is a neighbor dog to the right of the property that barks but did not come over to the fence line, probably a senior (just FYI for future visitors in the case of reactive dogs).Would stay again, 10/10

They thought of everything to make your stay great when bringing your dogs along. This place is a nice and quick walk to Main St. The hot tub was great after a long day of walking downtown.
