Features and Amenities
What Our Guests Are Saying
-
This was a wonderful find! Especially suited if you’re traveling with your furry friends! Huge fenced in back yard, doggie treats and even a dog bed in the corner of the living room! We’ve stayed in our share of vacation rentals and Phil’s attention to detail was second to none!
-
This was our favorite stay of our trip! The home was in excellent condition, the hot tub was very clean, good water pressure in the showers and beds were very comfortable. We loved the dark shades for night time, quiet yet walkable neighborhood, and the large fenced yard was a great feature for our dog. The home was a bit hot upon our arrival (during a heat wave), especially the upstairs, but it cooled down fast and we appreciated having ceiling fans in every bedroom. My sons and I all agreed that we slept the best in this home. We wish we could have stayed longer, and we will definitely be back!

We loved this home! It was a bit tight for seating during down time but we made it work! Overall wonderful home! The fenced yard is great for big dogs!
-
Phil is a fantastic host! The house was spotless, instructions were clear, and Phil was easy to communicate with. The location is in a peaceful neighborhood, walkable to downtown shops and dining. Our pup also settled in, and we appreciated the touches that made our family feel at home. Phil and Casey, thank you!

Cute, cozy, well kept home. Great location - within walking distance to Main Street. It is close to railroad tracks so you might want to bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper.
-
The Nook in Galena was just perfect for us. We had access to everything we needed, and the home was beautiful and met all of our needs. The back yard stood out to us - our dogs loved the large fenced in yard, and the hot tub and fire pit were just the icing on the cake.
-
The location was really nice. Super close to downtown galena. Parks, trails, dining and entertainment nearby Had a foul smell in the place. Maybe from different pets
-
Yard was large, great for traveling with pups and having a fire. Rooms were smaller than anticipated, but beds and linens were very comfortable. One bathroom on each level and layout split with 1br downstairs and 2br upstairs was great for traveling in a group. Downstairs bedroom closes with a rolling door, so not the most sound-proof to the living space. Location was amazing, walkable to downtown.
