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!

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.
