The property was perfect for 8 women to celebrate a bachelorette retreat. We were pleasantly surprised by the additional sleeping area. The house has so much charm and the owners are wonderful. The perfect location to explore Galena.

Location

The house was within walking distance to the Main street for shopping and great resturants. Loved to read about the history of the house and the lay out was perfect for the 6 of us. The furniture was comfortable and fit the decor of the house. I would recommend anyone who loves history, wants to stay close to the shopping area and feel they are in a safe neighborhood to stay here.

We had a great time. Location is perfect and within walking distance to everything downtown. If you aren't able to do stairs very well then you will not want to stay though as all rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

December Getaway

We have been coming to Galena each December for nearly 30 years. This year we found the Row House and it is our new favorite place to stay. The house is spacious enough for a large group of people to stay comfortably. The furniture and décor are cozy and lovely. The beds were comfy and warm. Everything you could ever need for your stay has been thought of: Lots of towels, dishes, utensils, coffee makers and pods, and even umbrellas are available and handy. We could not have dreamed of a better place to spend our December weekend getaway! We will definitely be back!

Friends in town for a wedding

We stayed here when we were in town for a wedding. We loved the location. It’s right at the beginning of Main Street and close proximity to stairs to walk down to the Main Street. All the guests were raving about the place. It was perfect for a group. We would stay here again!!

A great family reunion

Three of my brothers and I (with spouses) stayed at the delightful Bench Street rowhouse in Galena from three Wonder nights. We have a great reunion, with time spent walking the streets and heights of Galena as well as enjoying our 1845 Galena home. Well appointed and equipped, the rowhouse provided every comfort. We will be back.

Perfect Location and Renovated/Updated Beautiful Historic Home in downtown Galena! 5 Star!

Five of us gals (70 & 72 Mothers/3 Daughters had a fabulous time. The home has 5 bedrooms so we each had our own sleeping area with comfortable beds. Bedrooms were on floors 2 & 3 so you must be capable to handle steep steps. All of us were very happy with the accommodations and will stay here next time we visit the area. Our hostess, Mary, was excellent at communicating with us. The kitchen is well-equipped with a full-size refrig, gas range, coffee makers and dishwasher. There is a bathroom on each floor. The home was spotless. There is a nice outside seating area with a huge gas grill. The historic home, built in 1845, is located one block above the 1/2 mile shopping area so each could come and go as we pleased with easy walking to shop and eat. We found many of the restaurants/Grant Home etc. were closed on Monday/Tuesdays after Labor Day. The one-hour non-stop Trolley ride ($23) was worthwhile which departs on the hour starting at 10am. The Grant home ($5 donation recommended) contained many historic items and was enjoyed. The Galena Day Spa was top notch if you are looking for massages. In Dubuque (20 minutes away) The American Lady sunset cruise ($25) was relaxing where we enjoyed a beautiful eve which included free beer, soda and big chicken tenders/sauces. You will love this historic home! Reserve it today! Cindy

It has big bedrooms and very comfortable furniture. It’s an easy walk to shopping and has private as well as street parking. We loved it and would definitely come back.
