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!

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!

Girls getaway

We had a wonderful time on our trip. There is so much to do and see in Galena. This house is perfectly located for walking everywhere. We enjoyed taking in the scenery and all the yummy food. We even got some Christmas shopping done. It is an older home as are most the homes in galena and we like the character and charm of older homes. It was nice not to have to park on the street. There were some dust bunnies and spiders, but overall was clean and had nice furniture. The tub and sink could use some caulking, but otherwise had no other complaints. I would stay here again.

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.

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!

Girl’s birthday weekend

Location to downtown is excellent. The road is in construction so it is a bit rough and it is also very narrow. The house has a driveway, so not an issue for us. The house has a ton of character and it was neat to stay in such a historic district! The steps to the upstairs where all the bedrooms are, are quite steep. My one issue was the keypad!!! We walked everywhere and to leave and try to lock the door, nothing short of frustrating. 5 women and 20 mins to lock a door. The deadbolt will only latch if you have it in the EXACT spot it needs to be. Otherwise, there was really nothing we felt was lacking. The house is well equipped. Thank you for sharing your home!

Relaxing Pet-friendly Family Getaway

Ideally situated for exploring, and a great place to hang out in between activities. Extra dog-friendly, and accessible for senior dogs. Our 15 year old Lab, who can be anxious in new places, was very comfortable and enjoyed his walks into town (especially all the attention he received at Poopsie's). Kitchen is well-equipped, and the beds were way more comfortable than most places we've stayed. My daughter also really loved the record player and album selection.

Great visit!

We loved our time. The home was clean and we ended up using the kitchen a ton for cooking every meal. Our dog loved the dog toys and had the best time. We will absolutely be back!
