Cutest place in Galena

We absolutely loved staying in this adorable, cozy home!! It oozes character in every room and it had everything we needed for our stay. There even was a “make up” towel for the ladies to use, which I thought was a special touch. We had a blast in the “disco cave” and danced all night in it. The location is perfect because it’s just a few blocks away from the down town shopping and restaurants. It’s wonderful to be able to just park the car and walk everywhere.If I could give 6 stars I would! Highly recommend

The house had lots of charm of an older home with benefits of updated kitchen. The stairs were a little tricky for handling luggage to the upstairs bedrooms. Thankful that there were good handrails.

Overall the stay met our expectations. The house was nice and quaint and as described. The kitchen area was great for a group hangout. The location was convient and close to downtown with parking. The walk was about 10 minutes to Main street and shops/parks/food/etc. Cute town and the Halloween parade was fun to see.

Property was very clean, comfortable and accommodating. The check-in was very easy and accessible to downtown shopping and restaurants. It is about 15 minute walk, but due to uneven pavement/sidewalks it took us longer just to be safe. We will be back!

When we first entered the home there was a very strong musty smell. After turning the air on and getting air through the house it did get better. Overall stay was great! They had everything you needed there and some. Walking distance to downtown.

Short walk to town

My husband and i stayed here with our dog and 2 other couples. We all had plenty of space. The house was great! Dog friendly. Clean. Comfy beds. The cave room was cool for playing games and listening to records. We will stay here again!

What a great place! It is close to downtown, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, the furniture was in good condition, and the air conditioning was awesome even in the extreme heat we had. Nice job remodeling and updating an old home!

Vintage charmer

I would definitely recommend staying at 510 Federal. From the minute you walk in the door you are embraced by the tastefully decorated living room. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed getting together in the cave and listening to music and catching up with our traveling companions. The user guide was very helpful and informative with easy to follow instructions and suggestions for dining and exploring the town. Only being a few minutes from downtown town was great. And such a very relaxing quiet area. I was surprised by the size of the rooms for being an older historic home.

A Fun Getaway

We stayed at this house for our company Christmas party and were pleased with our stay. It was very clean, and the "disco room" was a unique and fun room to hang out in. One of the bedrooms was a bit cozy, but the communal areas were spacious and nicely decorated. The location was great—just far enough away from the busy Main Street of Galena, but close enough to get there with a quick walk.Would stay here again!

Fantastic location and property!

We stayed for my husband's 50th for the weekend and the property was perfect, from relaxing in the living room to chilling out in the disco cave. Perfect base for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.
