Everything was perfect. The house was very cute, and cozy. Its literally a frw blocks from the downtown area of Galena. Perfect place to stay! The host was also very accommodating, and polite. Will definitely be staying again in the future

The house was beautiful. I loved all the original items in the house, and it definitely felt like stepping back in time a little without taking away from the modern comforts of today. The hosts were also very responsive and helpful throughout the booking process and the trip itself. They left cute little goody bags in each bedroom of some food items, and had some extra items in the house that you might have forgot at home (tooth brush, floss, shampoo/conditioner, and even ear plugs!) I love Galena, and we’ll definitely be back to stay at the Driftless Get Away again.

Great place walking distance to historical downtown Galena. Rooms were cozy and beds were very comfortable. I typically have a hard time sleeping in a different bed from my own, but these beds were great. Look forward to staying here again!

This is the second floor of a house on the historic tour. My friend and I absolutely loved the layout and furniture. Extremely clean and very comfortable. The owners thought of everything, treat bags, coffee, tea, a small fridge, fluffy towels, extra pillows and blankets. Great location to Main Street. Beautiful time of year. We will definitely be back!!

This was my second time staying at this property. The first time was with my husband a few years ago and this time was with my best friend for a girls weekend. The house was even cuter this time around, and is stocked with whatever you need. Very thoughtful touches throughout. Keep in mind, it is an old historic home so even though it was not an issue for us personally, there are steep-ish stairs up to the second level and a clawfoot tub for the shower that doesn't have the best drainage so it may be difficult for those with mobility issues. But we love old homes with all their quirks so this just added to the charm of our stay. Also, the location is just perfect. The next time we visit Galena we'll probably try to stay here yet again! Awesome experience overall.

This was an ideal property to stay at while visiting Galena. Walking distance to downtown, nice common sitting area with two separate bedrooms. Owners were wonderful to work with. Would definitely stay here again!

The house was clean and the rooms are nicely furnished. A lot of little extras and coffee was appreciated. Very close to the main drag in Galena. Property manager/owner was very responsive and accommodating. One thing for a renter to know in the summer is that the bathroom is down the hall from the bedrooms and has no air conditioning. Since our stay was in August, it was an inconvenience and very hot to shower and get ready in the bathroom. We showered there and then had to get ready in our bedrooms because of the heat.

My cousins and I went to Galena to celebrate a birthday. I have a love for older houses snd these accommodations were just perfect. I just loved the claw foot tub and probably took a 2 hour soak in it at the end of a long day off wine tasting and shopping. It was a perfect location being just a short relaxing walk across the bridge. The hosts were wonderful with their goody bags and other accommodations. Beds were comfortable and there was a nice array of coffees and teas to choose from in the morning. Three of us stayed there very comfortably. We will definitely be going back to Galena and we hope to stay there again. 😊

Very nice location and clean. The beds were very comfortable. It was very hot during our visit and bathroom didn’t have air conditioning. It made getting ready to go out difficult. Other than that everything was great!

We had a great stay here. Rooms were clean and comfortable. It was an easy walk into the main ares on Galena. Note that it is on a busy street so there is some traffic noise and train noise. Didn’t bother us but worth noting for others.

This place was great for our weekend in Galena! There were lots of fun and nice touches in the house like games for the kids, hidden chocolates, a welcome bag, and cute decorations. We were able to walk everywhere from the house. The only downsides of the location were not having a kitchen (I didn't read the description closely enough to realize it didn't have a kitchen) and the loud road right next to the house with trucks that made the whole house shake throughout the night.

This was a great place to stay at. It is very close to downtown area. Private parking in the back is very convenient. Rooms are spacious! At night, you do hear all the traffic but I use ear plugs and you get used to it, not a big deal at all, don't let that dissuade you from booking! We will definitely be back 😊

We loved the space, the games, the rooms! Definitely will consider staying there again for our next trip! The little extra touches were nice - the snack bags and waters. The towels were very soft and thick! Very cute VRBO!

We really enjoyed the house and wish we could have stayed longer. It was close to downtown and the rooms were quite comfortable. Owner Matt was very responsive and I would definitely recommend this property.

It is a wonderful cozy place, very close to downtown Galena. Matt was immediately responsive when we experienced some difficulties with the heat. While the proximity to Galena is a plus, the noise that other reviewers mentioned is something to consider. Perhaps due to current road construction and detours there was an increase in traffic, but the noise is a factor. Matt and his wife offer little bags of snacks; the bed is very comfortable, and it was a great place to settle in and read after a day of sightseeing. We'd stay here again!

I cannot say enough good things about this property and it's caretakers! It is a beautiful old historic home with it's original staircase. It was cozy and clean, and had so many thoughtful amenities that made it clear the owners were happy we were there! Fresh and soft towels, a welcome bag with treats and lovely smelling soaps, super comfy beds with several pillows, games to play, neat books to read, a plethora of brochures and travel guides to the area....even some ear plugs in case the trains passing through Galena made it difficult to sleep. So thoughtful! We were so grateful for the mini fridge, Keurig and variety of yummy teas, too. The only negative thing I would mention is that the house is on a busy street and can be a bit noisy at night, however, it would be way worse at a hotel downtown I'd imagine! It never got too bad, but with earplugs in, we slept very well and soundly, and it was TOTALLY worth it for the location! We were super close to the gorgeous walking bridge that crosses the river, and just a 3 minute walk to downtown. It was super handy going shopping and being able to come home to leave our treasures, take a quick nap, and head back out! They were also super accommodating when we got into town earlier than expected and allowed us to park/check in a bit early. LOVED this place-we'll definitely be back!

We had an awesome time and were able to walk everywhere we needed to go! Only negative thing we can say is if you’re a light sleeper, you may want to wear ear plugs when sleeping as there is a lot of traffic!!

My husband and I went down for Labor Day weekend. The property was in great condition, very eclectic, and had such history and charm!! The hosts went over and above to make her stay comfortable and effortless. The location was perfect and just a short walk into town. We highly recommend this property and would absolutely stay again!

Nice older upper level to stay in across the river from downtown. Easy walking distance. Have to only give four stars because there were some giant wasp nests out front and one of us got stung. They were impossible to miss. Once we alerted the owner he took care of them right away for us.

The location was very convenient - walking distance to nearly everything. Our stay was comfortable, cozy, and well thought-out. There were plenty of little details with the kids in mind, communication about things like Wi-fi and the AC was clear, and we feel the hosts wen the extra mile. (We especially enjoyed the "welcome" bags, and the kids enjoyed discovering the hidden chocolate, as well as the games, etc.). We would definitely come again!

We were in Galena for a couples ski weekend and could not be happier with the property! It’s a quick drive to Chestnut mountain- and a short walk to all the main street shopping. Home is a beautiful historic property. Bedrooms are spacious with very comfortable beds, and the common area has plenty of room to hang out and play games. Nice touches such as coffee/tea and a little goody bag. Will stay again.

Loved the property, very cozy. Location was great and close to main street. Overall great stay. A few recommendations I would suggest is just ensuring coffee bar is stocked. We did have to go out to purchase cups and creamer. Monday morning I don't know if someone was working on the other side of the wall but there was loud banging as I was still in bed. These were minor but I do feel it is important to mention as you move forward.
