About this property

Walkable 2 Downtown Galena w/Parking! Perfect for access 2 Halloween Parade!

Only .3 Miles to Main St, Downtown Galena! The home is just a short walk to downtown Galena, where you can enjoy free street parking. This home is NOT pet-friendly.

*Golf Benefits: Guests have access to our Eagle Ridge Golf Membership with preferred rates and tee times at The General, The North Course and the South Course! Contact us for details.

You will feel right at home when you step into this historic yet cozy space. Pull up and enjoy free parking in front of the house or anywhere on Prospect St. Step inside the front door and into the foyer and enjoy this historic home. The main level features an updated eat-in kitchen open to the large living room w/flat a TV, gas fireplace, and record player. There is also a half bathroom, laundry area, and small back deck. The large kitchen is spacious and has seating for 8. Enjoy your cup of coffee using our Keurig coffee machine. If you walk to the rear of the home, you will find that the back deck is a great place to sit and listen to the sounds of town. Please note as a guest there is no backyard access. When you head upstairs, you will love the finishing touches of exposed brick and new carpet. There are three bedrooms on this level. The main bedroom features a Queen bed and comfortable space; the 2nd Queen bedroom is down the hall and is also a great place to sit back and relax after a long day downtown Galena. The third sleeping area is quiet and cozy with a twin-over-twin split trundle bed. Great for the singles or the kiddos! The full bathroom for these rooms is at the end of the hall. The lofted area is up a slightly steep set of stairs; grab the railing and head up to a fun space for the agile ones in your group. The private space features two twin beds upstairs with space in the middle for an air mattress if you want to bring one. It's a great getaway spot for kids to have a slumber party or for the singles to stretch out in; there's an extra AC up there for your comfort. Of course, the most spectacular part of staying on Prospect St is the location; it is just a quick walk to downtown or around the neighborhood to take in the architecture and joy of Galena. You will love The Townhouse on Prospect!

Wonderful Getaway to Galena

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our stay at the Townhouse on Prospect was relaxing and very comfortable. The townhouse was spacious and well outfitted for many of our needs. It lent itself to a relaxing time for our family. You can’t get better access to downtown Galena while maintaining a little distance from the crowds.

Our family loved it!

This was the perfect spot for a multi-generational bridal shower weekend! The location was on a quiet street, close enough to the busy goings-on to be easy and convenient but just removed enough to feel like you have a little moment to yourselves. The property was very clean and inviting and there was plenty of street parking for the three cars we had there. Communication with the owner was timely and effective when we had additional questions and instructions were clear. We would definitely book this property again, no question!

All of the bedrooms are upstairs and are private, so the early risers didn't interfere with the late sleeper's beauty sleep. Check in and out went well. Communication with the host was great. Thank you!

Great Experience

Great location to main street, walking distance if warmer. House comfortably fit a family of 8. Prompt communication from renter and checkin/checkout was a breeze. Was worried about parking since it was street only but not an issue and were able to park two cars right in front of house.

Best part was the location! Such a quick walk to Main St. The kitchen had everything you could need. The dishwasher cleaned everything really well. The bedding and towels were practically new. We did not use the attic bedroom because the stairs were quite steep and we thought it might be hard if we had to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. My kids would have loved that room when they were little though! The street was very quiet. Parking was easy. I really don't have any complaints!!

Wonderful Hosts, Property, and Communication

I booked the this townhome after my college friends and I decided to have our annual girls weekend in Galena. This townhome was PERFECT for us. Plenty of room, places to eat and chill for all six of us. The location is fantastic. Close to the leaking rental where we booked an excursion. Close to the river, walking distance to the Main Street and all the shopping and restaurants. Unfortunately for us, there were severe storms and tornado warning the night we all arrived. After reaching out to Linda, to ask for safety precautions and let them a giant limb went down in the backyard, the owners themselves showed up and made us feel safe and taken care of. They let us know we could have access to the basement apartment to take shelter and opened it up for us. I would highly recommend this property and look forward to coming back!

Really nice house - only one negative for us!

We really enjoyed our stay overall! This house is lovely and had (almost) everything we needed! It was clean, well kept, and in a great location! walking distance to the downtown Galena - and a quick bike ride to the river trail we came to check out as well! The only negative we had is that the pictures of this property make it appear that you’ll have access to the garden space, which is where we thought we would be able to safely secure our 4 bikes. It isn’t clear until you get there that you don’t have access to this garden space. We didn’t feel comfortable leaving our bikes on the front step as there was nothing to secure them to and you’re right on the street. This was a real hassle for our family with 4 full-size bikes! I would not have chosen this property if the pics hadn’t given the impression of access to the garden space!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was great. The home was clean, management quick to respond with any questions. Only suggestions I would have is that it was a little difficult only having one shower for 7 ladies (seems like a shower could be put in the downstairs bathroom pretty easily) and they needed larger trashcans in the kitchen but other than that it was a great stay!
