About the host
Hosted by Brianna Sopcak
Like many who enjoy Galena, we are from the Chicago suburbs. Having visited several times a year for decades, we are overjoyed to now have our own home in the area to enjoy and share with family and friends. The relaxing small-town vibe rejuvenates us and we find a new adventure to have every time we visit. Our three boys and extended family love this beautiful property and have already made some wonderful memories here. We are excited to share it with you so you can do the same!
