The Bench Street House

We had a great stay here while moving between apartments. My girlfriend and I are from the city, so it took a little time to adjust to the slower pace of a more rural area, but it quickly grew on us. Life here feels more relaxed and peaceful. The area is beautiful, especially if you're even a little outdoorsy. Plus, the home is right in the heart of a charming, historic town, you can really feel the history just walking around. Overall, an amazing and memorable stay!

Marion really saved the day with her willingness to rent her home to my daughter and her husband and baby for a long-term stay. They had to completely move out of their local Galena home in December for an emergency demolition/reconstruction situation that took several months to complete. Marion's house was comfortable, clean and safe, with off-street parking and is located centrally. Thank you, Marion!! I and the rest of my family will certainly stay here in the future as we travel to Galena frequently!

Loved the house and the location was perfect. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent again.

The location, space and furnishings were great. generous off street parking and pet friendly made this a perfect option for us. We will book again

This was our second time staying at Marion’s place and it was just as perfect as the first time we stayed. It honestly feels just like home. We can’t wait to stay again next year!
