Friends in town for a wedding
We stayed here when we were in town for a wedding. We loved the location. It’s right at the beginning of Main Street and close proximity to stairs to walk down to the Main Street. All the guests were raving about the place. It was perfect for a group. We would stay here again!!

A great family reunion
Three of my brothers and I (with spouses) stayed at the delightful Bench Street rowhouse in Galena from three Wonder nights. We have a great reunion, with time spent walking the streets and heights of Galena as well as enjoying our 1845 Galena home. Well appointed and equipped, the rowhouse provided every comfort. We will be back.

Perfect Location and Renovated/Updated Beautiful Historic Home in downtown Galena! 5 Star!
Five of us gals (70 & 72 Mothers/3 Daughters had a fabulous time. The home has 5 bedrooms so we each had our own sleeping area with comfortable beds. Bedrooms were on floors 2 & 3 so you must be capable to handle steep steps. All of us were very happy with the accommodations and will stay here next time we visit the area. Our hostess, Mary, was excellent at communicating with us. The kitchen is well-equipped with a full-size refrig, gas range, coffee makers and dishwasher. There is a bathroom on each floor. The home was spotless. There is a nice outside seating area with a huge gas grill. The historic home, built in 1845, is located one block above the 1/2 mile shopping area so each could come and go as we pleased with easy walking to shop and eat. We found many of the restaurants/Grant Home etc. were closed on Monday/Tuesdays after Labor Day. The one-hour non-stop Trolley ride ($23) was worthwhile which departs on the hour starting at 10am. The Grant home ($5 donation recommended) contained many historic items and was enjoyed. The Galena Day Spa was top notch if you are looking for massages. In Dubuque (20 minutes away) The American Lady sunset cruise ($25) was relaxing where we enjoyed a beautiful eve which included free beer, soda and big chicken tenders/sauces. You will love this historic home! Reserve it today! Cindy

Beautiful home in perfect location
Our group had the best time in Galena! This home was perfect for us! If you appreciate beautiful old homes and are able to walk up and down stairs, this place is perfect. It has big bedrooms and very comfortable furniture. It’s an easy walk to shopping and has private as well as street parking. We loved it and would definitely come back.

My girls and I stayed here for 2 nights, there were 9 of us and we never felt crowded. The home was very convenient for getting down to the main strip and easy to find! I would definitely recommend this home to anyone but please be aware that there are a lot of stairs in the home as well as up/down to the main street area.

This was the perfect home for our stay
This absolutely beautiful home was exactly as advertised. The location was wonderful. We walked everywhere. The home was gorgeous and clean and so well appointed. Everything was so thoughtfully laid out for us. We loved the time in the home relaxing outside and in. We enjoyed listening to the records provided on the turntable. I read each morning in the sunroom. Enough space for a family of 5 to spread out and also we were able to spend time together in the living spaces. Our first two nights a deer even came to graze on the hill behind the house. The neighborhood was safe and friendly and I’m so glad that this gem of a home was saved and restored so we could enjoy it.

Beautiful house in a great location
We wanted to go to Galena for a long weekend with my adult children over spring break. The house is located one block north of Main Street and the three story house has great views of the city. We were able to walk to everything even the local magic show. The house is beautiful and even more importantly very comfortable. We all slept well in the bedrooms which were warm and super cosy. A good night sleep is so important after days of shopping and hiking. We were only a group of 4 but the house could comfortably accommodate many more people. I would highly recommend.

Historic & lovely
Just steps away from downtown Galena for wonderful shopping and dining. There are a lot of stairs in the house so keep that in mind, and stairs walking to and from downtown as Church street sit above the downtown. Private parking a plus, but street parking didn't seem to be a problem. To our surprise bedrooms were all spacious and decorated so lovey. Wonderful character in the house from woodwork to beautiful light fixtures, Met the neighbor next door, lovely person. She even took a few pictures of our group before we checked out. Our stay here for girls weekend created great memories for us, Thank you!

Perfect for a Girls' Getaway
Four of my friends and I stayed here for 3 nights. We had a wonderful time. The space is just what we needed. The main floor with the kitchen and living room had all we needed to feel at home. We each had our own bedroom space where we could rest comfortably. The house is the best location if you plan to spend a lot of time downtown, which is something I highly recommend. The walk to the shops and coffee houses is down only one flight of steps. Another big plus is the private parking. We've stayed at other places and have had to park in the street or in tight parking lots, but this house has its own private driveway. That's a big win. Overall we had a wonderful trip and we felt right at home. We definitely plan to stay here again.
