Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Jo Daviess County

The location was beautiful! Close to downtown galena, plenty of things to do around the house. Private and peaceful, if you’re looking for a place to stay out here we recommend this place!

We stayed here while visiting family in the area, and it was a perfect place to unwind each evening. Everything was as described, and we had plenty of space to spread out. The beds were very comfortable, and the place was squeaky clean!

Vickie's home was an amazing place to stay during our trip to Galena. The home was very clean, comfortable, and cozy. It was close to restaurants. We enjoyed sitting out on the peaceful porch, and it was great that we could bring our dog. Vickie is a wonderful host, and we would stay here again!

This was our second time at Jennifer's place and it was just as perfect as it was the first time. We brought our daughters with us this time, and they slept on the pull out couch and loved it. It was the perfect space for our family. The amenities are a plus. We went to the indoor pool at the Owners Club which was nice and enjoyable and we played the board games one of the nights, which were provided. I highly recommend this place. It's quiet, peaceful, there are walking paths, and it's about 10 to 15 minutes from Main Street. We will definitely be back!

Our family—including me, my wife, our daughter, and our puppy—had a wonderful time. Ginger was very kind and provided detailed information, including how to use the amenities like the swimming pools. The property was clean, cozy, and conveniently located near downtown, where we had a great time exploring. We’d definitely recommend this place to any family and would love to return on our next trip to Galena.

A Hidden Gem by the Water – A Fisherman’s Dream! This cozy Airbnb exceeded our expectations in every way — the biggest highlight being its perfect location right near the water! My husband loves to fish so he was thrilled to discover how easy it was to grab his gear and head out each morning for a peaceful few hours of fishing just steps from the property. The home itself was clean, well-stocked, and thoughtfully decorated with a charming, rustic vibe that fit the setting perfectly. Waking up to the sound of birds and the sight of the sunrise glistening over the water was pure magic. The host was warm, welcoming, and provided clear instructions and had everything labeled, that helped us make the most of our stay. Whether you’re looking to fish, relax by the water, or simply unplug in a serene setting, this place is a true slice of heaven. We’ll definitely be back!

Joel’s place was absolutely beautiful! It was secluded and peaceful but also very close to down town. I loved drinking my coffee outside in the mornings it was so peaceful! I’d recommend Joel’s air bnb to anyone wanting to travel to galena. I’d go back in a heartbeat! Joel was a great host. He gave us all the information and checked In on us throughout our stay. We had a great time!

We loved our stay in Bellevue. The home was very clean, cozy and fully stocked with everything we needed. The location was great within walking distance of the Mississippi, lock and dam #12, downtown shops, and restaurants. Railroad tracks run right in front of the house and trains did come through, but no loud whistles/horns. If you're a light sleeper, you might hear the low rumble at night when the train comes through, but Kathy does provide a white noise machine and fans that help. The home was perfect for our stay and was close to hiking and biking trails, which is what we love to do.

It was so comfortable in there that I can’t wait to plan my next trip to galena!! Thank you for your fast response!!

My friends and i had an amazing time! The house was very clean! We’re a busy bunch and there was so much for us to do at the house! The location was perfect everything around us was no longer than 10 mins. Lisa was very kind and helpful whenever we needed anything. Would definitely stay again it was a blast!

We truly enjoyed our stay!

Very pleased with the stay, everything matched what the pictures showed. Anne was a great communicative host. The area was beautiful and the ajr bnb was clean and peaceful. We enjoyed the pool table, hot tub, and gaming amenities in the basement. I do wish the grill was a bit cleaner, but overall I give the stay a 5/5!

Thanks Ryan. We had a great time.

The place was exactly as described and what we expected. Far enough out of town to not be busy but close enough for a quick drive into town.

Great get away retreat for my family. Close enough to town for daytime fun but then enough distance to be solo in the evening. We slept comfortably, showers were perfect, and the kitchen was clean and spacious for cooking homemade meals. Thanks Joe!

Stayed for a long weekend with three friends! Such a wonderful quiet and cozy place to stay! Nancy was very responsive and friendly! The house was clean and the natural light was so wonderful. Would definitely like to stay at the Piccolo House again!

We had a wonderful stay! The home was incredibly spacious, clean, and perfect for our family, including my mother-in-law’s two small dogs. It was very dog-friendly, which made things so much easier and more comfortable for us. The host was very friendly and responsive throughout our stay. They even left us a bottle of wine, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated touch. The house had a lot of great amenities that made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was its proximity to a horse riding facility, just a short distance away, where we got to enjoy horseback riding, which was such a memorable experience. The community pool was about a 5-minute drive away and looked beautiful. Although we didn’t get a chance to swim, we did use the tennis and basketball courts, which added to the fun. Overall, this was a great place to stay. We would absolutely recommend it to others looking for a relaxing and family-friendly getaway!

Small and cozy cabin! Very clean with all the essentials. Beautiful view to enjoy while sitting on the porch or in the hot tub.

The location was perfect for us. Although it is above a bar, I can say the music did not bother is. She does provide eat plugs which we did not need to use. we spent one of our evenings at the grape escape. Highly recommend for live music. The space was perfect for us as well, walkable and was able to find close parking. Finally even though all directions and information were on the app, Catherine still responded to our questions on text. Great place. We will be back !

This place is an absolute gem! You’re staying right on the Mississippi, a little ways from town, but not too far. It is absolutely gorgeous to wake up next to the water and Laura was AMAZING! Definitely going to be looking to stay again

This cabin was the perfect retreat from our busy lives. It was in a peaceful, quiet area with deer and wild turkeys walking through the backyard. The cabin was very clean, inside and outside. The landscape was beautiful and everything is within a short drive from the lake to the local winery to the restaurants on Main Street. We had such a wonderful stay and hope to visit again soon!

We were so excited to find Cynthia’s place! Our family gets together yearly for Christmas in June and we we’re lucky enough to find Cynthia’s place last minute! It was perfect for what we needed! A space for our 12 year old and dog friendly! Really loved that she provided a small pack of water! That was a nice touch! Thank you! We will be back!

We enjoyed our stay, beautiful home and pleasant stay near lake. No issues at all and must note, very comfortable bed!

This place has everything for a cabin experience! Lots of games to play, firepit in the back and a hot tub to enjoy. The owners provided many kitchen amenities to help when we prepared meals. Pancakes the first morning was a great touch. Plenty of room for 7 of our extended family. Owners passes for the clubhouse was great. we worked out one day and used the pool. The host responded very quickly to any questions we had. Would recommend!!
