Serenity Cottage is exceptional; we were welcomed to a very clean and charming home, where our hosts thought of everything! …and the access to local amenities is a big plus. We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing weekend stay exploring Galena. PS we LOVED the pastries at Galena Bakehouse.

Hot time in Galena

The home we stayed in was very nice. It was very clean, the furnishings well maintained and the location was great. The little extra the owner provided was extremely thoughtful (snacks,coffee,water).

There was a police standoff last 2 days we were there, with the manhunt going on my wife would not leave the building. this man was on the loose with police presence to get in or out of the premises. Some money back i believe is in order. He had fire arms and was spotted behind where we were staying fleeing.
