Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Lake Galena

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!

Brian and Jonny were very responsive and communicative from beginning to end. It was a last minute trip and we were lucky to find a pet friendly place during the start of the summer season. The house was clean, cozy and close to walking trails. Although we did not take advantage of the outdoor grill or hot tub (they have a wood burning fireplace for the winter), we enjoyed the screened in porch and open concept layout of the house, as pictured in the profile. The house is situated between two other houses blocked somewhat by the trees. I would describe as semi-private where we could see their back patio/hot tub/fire pit and vice versa. But whatever your personal comfort level, you can’t beat the proximity to trails, Owners Club, and easy access to Hwy 20 to Galena! We enjoyed our stay and exploring!

Always a great time in Galena. This space was perfect for a small group, and had a lovely view.

We had the absolute best time at The Treehouse. It was truly one of the most spectacular places we’ve ever stayed! From the moment we arrived, it felt like the perfect home for a family getaway. The house had everything we could have possibly needed for comfort, fun, and quality time together. It was sparkling clean, beautifully maintained, and the views were just breathtaking. Our hosts were wonderful. They were so kind, responsive, and helpful throughout our stay. We especially loved relaxing by the fire pit, unwinding in the hot tub, and enjoying the peaceful screened-in porch. It was the perfect balance of cozy and fun! Beyond the amazing home itself, Galena had so much to offer. We had a great time exploring the town, dining at local restaurants, shopping, and just soaking in the charm of the area. We’re so grateful for our stay at The Treehouse and can’t recommend it highly enough. We’re already hoping to return for another family gathering next year!

Cozy yet spacious retreat! We loved backing up to the trees with a view of the lake. We enjoyed coffee on the screened in porch while wrens warbled right outside. Perfect distance from Galena to feel like a getaway but still close to get there pretty quickly with a scenic drive.

Perfect stay for our girls’ getaway! We stayed here to celebrate our bride-to-be, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The place was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was amazing—just a short distance from the shops in Galena, which made exploring so easy. It was the perfect spot to relax, enjoy time together, and make special memories. Highly recommend for any group looking for a charming and convenient stay!!

Amazing stay. teenage kids had a blast. Lots of amenities to keep them busy. Will definitely revisit and stay at this AirBnB.

Even better than advertised. Sandy was wonderful and so was the home. We were very pleased with our stay and her communication. The house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, close to the strip, around golf courses, wineries, great food, fishing, historical places, and kayaking. Thanks again Sandy, we will be talking to you soon I’m sure.

We have stayed at a few of Linsy’s places and they’re always great. I think the price is reasonable, location is spot on, amenities are comfortable. And she is always available for questions.

This was my fourth time staying at Sandys and each time is just as enjoyable as the last. Her new wallpaper in the kitchen, bedrooms, and master bath are beautiful. She has a real knack for decor. She's always super helpful, kind, and her breakfasts dont disappoint! If you're looking to relax in a peaceful setting, but still be close to downtown Galena, this is THE place to stay.

We were in town for our granddaughter ‘s high school graduation. This was a wonderful place to stay with immediate family. Lots of room for extended family to get together, have some pizza and catch up. We went to Dubuque’s awesome Farmers Market, walked the river walk, Fourth Street elevator and ate great food in nearby restaurants. Nate was very responsive to questions we had and provided great instructions for checking in. This home has very unique architecture and great outdoor living space. Everyone said they hoped this place is still available in three years when the next grandkid graduates 😊

Our stay was wonderful. We wanted to stay in town, but not at a B&B. s Jack's place was perfect and he couldn't have been friendlier. Great location, true to the pictures, precise instructions to get in. The window cleaners set off the fire alarm in the building and he was quick to reach out to us with an apology. Jack recently acquired this building and gave us a tour of the other units and common area he's rehabbing. He has kept the historical touches and lined the walls in the building with photographs taken by his mother. Complimentary coffee is offered from his coffee shop downstairs, and the employee couldn't be friendlier. It's been a while since we've been to Galena, and we'll definitely be back soon and staying here!

Drake Place Loft was a great getaway. Clean, quiet, peaceful. No pet or smoke smells. Location above coffee shop makes breakfast very convenient. We plan to be back. 💯

This condo is perfect for a little getaway. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, and utensils. The bed was comfortable! The jet tub was relaxing and perfect for 2 people! Downfall is that the shower head is VERY small and there’s a weird clunking behind the toilet, in the plumbing.

We had a wonderful time! If we could rate it a 10 we would! :-) We will definitely return!

Great location to enjoy the downtown area. Very clean and accurate to presentation on site. Host made check-in/access very easy. Highly recommend!

The place was good, and maintained well for how old the property is the hosts have done a good job.

Great place, would stay again for sure. The location is nice- quiet and private and about a 12-minute drive from downtown Galena. It was clean and cozy, the beds were comfy and host communication was timely and clear. Check out to do list was very reasonable and simple. There’s a working wood fireplace and plenty of wood for guest use which is such a nice bonus and walking trails are close and accessible. We didn’t have time to check out the clubhouse facilities but instructions and access seemed easy and straightforward.

Thank you Matthew for the great place for our filmmakers to stay that were attending the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival. They loved it!

We only stayed two nights but were impressed by how cool, quiet, and comfortable the unit was. It is also nicely and tastefully appointed; the furnishings and decorations were thoughtfully chosen, rather than things chosen for a short term rental property. The unit is located deep within a golf and spa resort so driving in at night for the first time required us to go in slowly, but the GPS directions taken from the address on the listing delivered us right to our parking spot.

Great place, very beutiful area, peaceful and quiet, short drive to Galena, and the Iowa state line

Great people. We had a swift check-in and were welcomed by a beautiful space that provides absolute privacy. Could have been better if it was warm so you can enjoy the enormous space around the property. Can be suitable for retreats, intimate wedding venue.

The place was amazing in almost every way. The only one thing that was odd as it said it sleeps 4, but there was only one bed with sheets and blankets. On the couch bed, we had to contact housekeeping to get sheets and there were not any blankets for it. We did find extra pillows in the apartment though. Otherwise the place was wonderful, very cozy, clean, and comfortable. We loved it. It was a nice and quiet place to stay. The club amenities were awesome to have too.

Had a great getaway with my family, visiting off season is a treat!
