About the host
Hosted by Krista Casper
We are just four high school friends who came up with an amazing idea after a couple of adult beverages, because no good story starts with a salad.....and here we are with a completely renovated schoolhouse that we are hoping you enjoy as much as we do.
Getting back to us, we are all local to Galena, 3 out of the 4 of us were born in Galena, the odd ball was born in Evanston, IL, but grew up in Galena since the age of 4. Now after all these years, the boys are married to two amazing women (that’s us....we are the amazing women) and between the two families we have 6 beautiful children.
Before your stay and during your stay, Lynn and myself (Krista) will be your hosts. So please let us know how we can help make your stay more relaxing and enjoyable.

Why they chose this property
We live in Galena, however, the township we live in is called Vinegar Hill. Prior to us, the schoolhouse was used as the Vinegar Hill Town Hall. A property we were all very familiar with, we voted here, the township board meetings were held here, many garage sales took place here. Then the township put it up for auction, it is equal distance from where both families live, so we figured why not!
What makes this property unique
Our unique property was built in 1912 as a one room schoolhouse. It was a school until 1958, when the Vinegar Hill Township purchased it and it became the Vinegar Hill Town Hall. We purchased the town hall in November 2024 and turned it into the gorgeous 2 bedroom, 2 bath property you get to enjoy now.
