Fall Fun Downtown Galena-Steps 2 Main & Across the street from Turner Hall

This Beautiful, Historical and Updated home is smack dab downtown Galena. This Preservation Award-winning home was built in 1856 and is in an incredible location. Bench St is one street North of Main St and this home is approximately 150 steps to all the amazing dining, shopping and entertainment that Downtown Galena offers. This home is NOT pet-friendly.

This home is an amazing 1600 square feet. It feels spacious and welcoming, definitely not your typical downtown rental. When you pull up and locate your on-street parking (first come first serve) you will notice the immaculate exterior of the home. It is located directly across the street from Turner Hall and could accommodate a bridal group, guests at a function or just serve as a beautiful backdrop for your stay.

When you enter the home off of Bench St. you will enter into the foyer with the study to the right and living room to the left with cozy electric fireplace and view of Turner Hall. There is plenty of comfortable seating and a flat screen tv for you to enjoy in this living space. NOTE: there is a sofa sleeper in the living room (please bring your own Queen size linens for sleeper) The dining room is large enough for everyone to gather and will be a great spot to enjoy meals and play games during your stay, the record player with vinyl is a sweet treat. Easy access to the kitchen with all major appliances and a Keurig coffee maker is handy for all. The half bath is also located on the main level. Step out onto the screened back porch, a great place to relax with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. Upstairs are the 3 Queen bedrooms and one full bathroom. Plush linens and towels are available for you and don't forget that awesome view of Turner Hall across the street. Please note this home does not have a washer and dryer for guest use. Enjoy complimentary WiFi.

Please note this home is not part of the Galena Territory and does not have access to the GTA amenities.

Best Location Ever
We had the best time. We went for the holiday parade on Thanksgiving weekend. The house was as shown and very comfortable and homey. Management was fantastic to work with and very responsive. The home was very clean and ready for us to arrive. The location can't be beat as its just up the stairs from Main Street. We were back and forth many times. Loved it.

Charming Home & Great Location
The home is lovely, quiet and comfortable. It is a great location if you are looking to shop, eat and enjoy Galena's Main Street. We walked from the house all weekend and didn't have to worry about parking on Main. Street parking at the house was first come first served, but we had no issues. We would definitely stay here again.

My friends & I were chased out of Fl for our girls trip by Hurricane Milton! At the last minute decided to go north to Galena. All of us are bits of clean freaks, and happily found the cleanest property! Waking distance strings the corner

Lovely home and fabulous location
Location is on Bench street, one block up from the main street with restaurants and shopping! The house overall was super clean, decorated cute, had all the amenities we needed for a weekend. The three bedrooms were nice sizes for our family of 4 (with teens). Would highly recommend, and would for sure stay there again.

Girls weekend
Overall it was fabulous! Only drawback was we had a issue with a toilet and notified the owner who responded promptly, yet the maintenance was not able to enter the property because we were out enjoying ourselves, not leaving our key in the lockbox. A suggestion would be that the maintenance/owner have access to another key besides what is given to their guests…..and if so would have rated all 5 stars.

Another great stay!
This is our second time staying at this property. The house was great and fit our group of 6 ladies wonderfully. The location is great- just up the hill from the Main Street and the VFW. We would have booked again for next year but the calendar wasn't open yet so sadly had to look elsewhere. Would stay again however if available.

Records and a turntable
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this quaint home. Plenty of space for our group of four. Easy walk downtown. Parking was a bit challenging on Saturday but we expected that. Lots to do on our stay. They record collection was excellent. We played cards at night to classic rock. Would stay again and highly recommend.

We enjoyed staying at this charming home on Bench St. We walked into town to visit shops and restaurants. The home was clean and nicely remodeled. Access upon arrival was easy, parking was directly in front of the home (except for Tues. which was clearly explained in paperwork) I would definitely stay again.

Excellent choice for a Galena stay
The property is just as pictured and described. The walk to town is very short and you have easy access to everything Galena has to offer. LOVED being in the historic district! The only advanced prep I would say is bring a Roku with you as the TV doesn’t have streaming ( you can get a Roku for $25 and just travel with it). But if you’re not a TV/movie watcher, it’s a great location for morning walks, shopping trips, or reading on the deck. Would definitely come again.

This house had some great character - could not have had a better location. Perfectly walkable to all the shops and restaurants. The house was loaded with bottled water which came in handy with such warm weather!
