The second bedroom with a Queen-sized bed and attached full bathroom w/whirlpool tub ONLY are on this level along with the laundry room. Up another set of stairs the top level features a master suite with a king-size bed and attached full bathroom. This coach house will be your destination every time you visit.

Galena Coach House Review
The coach house is lovely and comfortable. They've stocked everything you could need. Please note, it's a very "vertical property" - bedrooms and bathrooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

Charming Getaway
Charming little house with a lot to offer within walking distance to the downtown shops and restaurants. The weather was perfect to enjoy the area and walk the trails along the river. The house is in a quiet neighborhood so it perfect to relax at after a long day out and about. The house is perfect for 2 or 4 people to enjoy.

A holiday catching up with friends
We had a wonderful stay. The coach house was easy to get to and close to Main Street so we enjoyed the walks to and from all the down town had to offer. As you walk into the coach house the sweetest little kitchen with a lovely island with plenty of tall benches around it, two comfy sitting chairs, window seat, tv and fireplace. The heart of the home is the kitchen and this space you felt it and we enjoyed this space very much. The next level did not disappoint either. A lovely sitting area with another tv, beautiful bedroom and large bathroom across the hall, laundry room and a door that lead to a roof top deck. Oh to sit out here was amazing and to enjoy the scenery and views was a great way to start the morning. I can only imagine how lovely it would be to sit here and take in the fall colors. The 3rd level a beautiful bedroom and full bathroom. The home was very clean, decorated beautifully, very comfy and cozy, so many windows to enjoy the light and all the views, beds were comfortable, stocked well and plenty of parking. I would highly recommend and will be keeping this in my lists to stay again for my next holiday to Galena. Debra

The Coach House is ABSOLUTELY Perfect!
This was our first visit to Galena and the Coach House made it so memorable. The house has every amenity you could ask for and Linda, the Host, is excellent with communication. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. The house is well appointed. There are 3 levels so if stairs are an issue, I wouldn't recommend. But we loved the different levels as it gave us our own personal space. We highly recommend this property!

Great walkable location. Easy parking, comfortable beds. Our group of 4 had plenty of room. Only negative was some slight issues with cleanliness (moldy shower curtain, hair in bathroom) and ants in the kitchen.

The Coach House
Upon first look at The Coach House, i thought it appeared super small. Once we walked in, we saw a lovely and cozy main level. The kitchen was so quaint and the seating was very comfortable. The 2nd level was very comfortable. We did not utilize the top level except for showering. The only downside is if you have bad knees, the stairs could be an issue. The main level patio was sweet and rustic for sure so be careful where you step. The house was very convenient to downtown and we enjoyed that convenience! We enjoyed our stay.

Fun couples stay
This a charming renovated coach house. Small kitchen but very cute. Very clean property. 4 counter seats and 2 chairs in front of a tv and warm electric fireplace. Second level has another bedroom/bath with a whirlpool tub, washer/dryer, leather couch and chair in front of a tv. Third level has a king bed and small bath with a shower. We had 2 couples there comfortably. You could put a 5th person on the couch. 6 block walk to downtown galena. I highly recommend Gobbies for Chicago style pizza at very reasonable prices. Free salads and bread bites too!! Timmermans supper club was a fun night too. 15 mile drive to that. Overall, a wonderful place to stay.
