Cozy house, great central location

This cozy house had everything my family needed for our little getaway, complete with games and toys that helped keep our daughter entertained :) Had some cool pieces of décor as well that added to the ambience of the house. It was nice to be in a quiet neighborhood - and the location was perfect for us since we were visiting both Galena and Mississippi Palisades State park

Perfect Getaway!

Very cute and cozy house! My boyfriend and I loved the simplicity of the driving distance to Galena and having a house to return to afterwards where we could relax. Had everything we needed for cooking and tons of games and movies to watch. Would definitely return again!

The house was just as it was advertised. A clean well thought out home. Very comfortable. Had great time relaxing. Even when the storms blew in. I felt safe and sound. The owner was always just a text away and very responsive. I will definitely be coming back to explore this area again.

Everything I Needed

Great amenities, quiet street, peaceful retreat from the summer heat. I stayed there to visit a Hanover friend who has cats (I’m allergic) and she ended up staying with me because it was so lovely. We could have settled in for quite a movie marathon with the excellent collection of DVDs. We found everything we needed, and communication was clear and friendly.
