Beautifully restored school house. Great quiet place for two couples just outside of town. Nice subtle “schoolhouse theme” and equipped with everything we needed. Simple and clean. Hot tub and fire pit space was perfect and private. Beds were comfortable. Views out the large rear window are great.

We had a great stay! The property was perfect for our group of four adults and two kids. It’s a great size, clean, well stocked and has an amazing view. The hosts did a wonderful job when they remodeled the property. We appreciated all the little details and thoughtfulness that went into it. The place is well stocked with quality products, which was also appreciated. We would definitely stay here again!

This property exceeded any expectations we had for girlfriends get away in Galena. The time, hard work and thought the host put into this property shows in every detail. Very comfortable, very clean, and beautiful touches...loved being out in the country but super close easy drive into town. Took me right back to growing up on a farm. Patio was perfect for dinner & snack time. We will be back!

My 4 adult boys and I stayed here for our trip to The Field of Dreams movie site. The property was wonderful. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed a nice evening around the fire pit and in the hot tub. Hire was awesome! Great communication before during and after (we left something in the dryer). Definitely recommend the property and I may come back to spend more time in the beautiful Galena downtown with my wife

This place is just the best!!!! Amazing to think it was a schoolhouse at one point. The beds were so comfortable! Close to things but still very quiet and private. And we loved having an equal number of bathrooms to bedrooms ratio. That is very difficult to find at properties.

What a beautiful property. Clean, private, and a perfect get-away for my family. My parents loved the house so much we almost had to drag them out! We loved everything about it, but my favorite part was definitely the hottub and the fire pit outside. Would definitely love to come back in the future!

Everything was perfect

I typically rent houses when I travel with my wife or with the entire family. I've rented a lot of houses. This rental impressed me the most with the attention to detail. The decorating was perfect for the location. Everything was high quality -- especially the beds/towels. This house has everything you need or could possibly want while staying there. No need to run to the store at all. I have nothing bad to say about this rental. Thanks.

Wonderful Stay at a Charming Schoolhouse Retreat

We were fortunate to be the very first guests at this adorable property!! The owners did a fantastic job renovating the old schoolhouse, blending historic charm with cozy, modern comforts. The décor creates such a welcoming atmosphere, and the home is stocked with everything you could possibly need to make your stay enjoyable.Thoughtful touches like a welcome letter, festive 4th of July bling, baskets of goodies, and cold waters waiting in the fridge were above and beyond—small extras that made a big difference.The outdoor area is perfect for relaxing: whether you're soaking in the hot tub, playing board games, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, it offers a private, country feel. It’s just a short drive to Galena, where we enjoyed great food and shopping.Krista was incredibly responsive and available if we needed anything. My husband and I had a wonderful time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing getaway.
