The yard is not fenced or accessible due to the terrain (hill with prairie grasses). The neighborhood is safe and great for exploring. Our Harrison Home is a modern 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom dog friendly farmhouse located in the heart of Galena with the feeling of country living. The home is less than a 5 minute ride to downtown or a 10 min "adventure" aka steep walk. If you can peel yourself away from the front porch overlooking the NEW Outdoor FIRE PIT you'll step into a large two story living room w/a wood burning fireplace between the living room and dining room. The skylights bring nature in and the airy rooms makes this home feel large and welcoming. Relax in the living room in front of the flat screen TV with Blu Ray and cable or play games at the dining room table.

Step outside form the kitchen and use the gas grill and we provide the propane. NOTE: This home does have many interior steps, it may not be the best for someone with mobility issues.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were a bit disappointed with the media setup at the house. The great room TV is outdated and lacks streaming options beyond Netflix and Prime. Having no access to network programming was a real drag given the below zero temps the weekend we were there and not being able to view what was a big weekend in playoff football. Many rentals follow this pattern of only offering Wi-Fi and smart tvs. We would gladly pay a higher price for a more complete cable tv option at the very least network programming. When you’re stuck inside due to weather or there are major sporting events you need a better option.

This is a great place to stay if you’re looking to spend time in downtown Galena. It was a short walk up the hill after a day of shopping. The home was just as described. It was roomy and the beds were very comfortable. Great for 2 couples who want a little space of their own as each bedroom had a sitting area. We would definitely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed 3 nights & enjoyed every minute. House was perfect & everything we expected. Very clean & had everything we needed. We had deer outside our windows all 3 mornings. It rained most of the time but finally cleared our last night so we could enjoy the firepit. We loved the town of Galena with all kinds of nice shops & places to eat. We hope to return someday.
