Vacation rentals with a fire pit in Jo Daviess County

Alina’s home was a clean beautiful spacious property. Lots of room for our party of 5. We loved both the enclosed and open air decks and we made great use of the fire pit at the end of our evenings. And let me tell you if you are a stargazer you are in for a treat. Just beautiful!

What a peaceful place for our family of four! Beds were comfy, living space was roomy, and we felt right at home here! We will definitely come back.

Alex was a Great host! His lake house was clean and cozy.. The view was beautiful! My children and I really enjoyed ourselves.. Thanks Alex!!

Super cute place! Having the 4 bedrooms was great for our small group of girls. The dining and living room had the right amount of seating. We didn’t have to hop in the car to explore town. All the restaurants and shops were within walking distance but the location was on a side street so it felt private. I definitely recommend Deb’s place!

Gingers place was absolutely gorgeous! Had everything we needed and more. I would highly recommend to anyone. I cant wait to go back.

We used it as a base to explore the rest of the area and could have stayed for much longer discovering all the sights. It was nice to come back to all the creature comforts of home (including a dishwasher!) and the canoes were a nice bonus. Clean and cozy place for exploring the area. Yes it's by the railroad. Bring your melatonin and white noise machines, the trains do blow whistles often. Do check out Timmermans Supper Club you can see from the house across the water for a fancier dinner out. Don't miss the river walk down to Star Brewery in Dubuque, IA + historic shot tower. And for a dinner + entertainment we enjoyed Frank O'Dowds Irish pub in Galena. We also explored Maquoketa caves and took the Fenelon place elevator ride for a picturesque view of the city. Location is a little more in a run-down type area by the tracks, but the house itself is updated and clean inside. Several security cameras are used reducing the feeling of privacy, but safer for belongings.

We had a lovely stay at The Treehouse. Kimberly and Dan were wonderful hosts. We had one little snafu that was immediately addressed and no issues whatsoever from there. Gorgeous views, comfortable spaces, great community amenities. Enjoyed being a little off the beaten path as well. Guidebook was readily available and helpful. Kids had a blast with the games. Only wish it would’ve been a little warmer to use the deck and porch. Would definitely book again! Thank you for a great stay!

Had a fabulous stay at Alex’s cabin-themed home. My group of gals loved the spaciousness, well-stocked kitchen, hot tub, and proximity to downtown Galena & hiking. Would definitely book again!

Sandra's home is beautiful! Spacious, tastefully decorated. The home is situated on a sloping hill with trees & flowers to enjoy. One can sit out on the back deck which overlooks all of this beauty and enjoy their morning coffee or evening glass of wine in peace. Sandra is warm & friendly. If your looking for a specific thing she provides guidance. It's also very rare to find a place that includes breakfast but she does and oh what a breakfast! Sandra is an excellant cook and you won't need lunch! Beds are quite comfy and if your as lucky as I was fall asleep to an owl hooting, something you'll never hear in the city. Overall it was a great getaway and well worth the money!

nicely furnished space, felt very homey and was easy to relax and enjoy! was exactly what I was looking for for the weekend and very conveniently located in Scales Mound.

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 enjoyed our stay. The place is very clean, beds are very comfortable and it was very quiet. I would highly recommend for a group of 3 or less. The stairs are steep but we didn’t have any problems as there are great rails in either side. Best place I’ve stayed in since coming to Galena for the past 10 years.

Very nice place, no complaints. I would stay there again.

A beautiful place with lots to do. From the fishing pond to the fun stiff in the basement to the great outdoor space, my family had a wonderful time.

Recently stayed here for a long girl's weekend and it far exceeded our expectations! There were 4 of us and we each had our own bedroom AND bathroom which is really hard to find. The kitchen and dining room are spacious and the living room super comfy - we spent our evenings there just chatting and hanging out. You can tell that Andrew and Sara put a lot of thought and effort into decorating the space to give it a very cozy and inviting vibe. Lots of extra touches - the soft linens, sound machine in each bedroom, cute decor. We definitely intend on another girl's trip to Galena and plan to stay in this house again. Highly recommend!

Book this property immediately! If you’re looking for a remote, peaceful property this is your spot. We loved exploring the property and land. Plenty of wildlife and farm animals to observe in the area. The sky is crazy clear at night. Great star gazing and an awesome porch to sip your coffee out on. Extremely clean and well stocked. Also not much to have to do on the “clean up” list during checkout which is always nice when you’re trying to get out the door with littles. In the area often and we wouldn’t hesitate to come back. Phil is so kind and clearly loves hosting guests and helping them feel at home. Cool decor, too!

Had a relaxing stay. The house was clean and cozy, matched the description and more. Beth was a great host, responsive and helpful.

The hosts were very helpful and communicated well. The actual home was very well kept and nice and cozy. Will definitely be back

We had an awesome experience at Tracy’s Airbnb for our girls trip. We loved the walking trails that were near and saw a lot of wildlife which was a nice surprise in the morning. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to our friends and family!

The house was even better than the photos. Beds and linens were wonderful and very comfortable. Lots of room for our family of six. Tons of outdoor toys and equipment for the kids and adults alike. We had a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. From swimming at the clubhouse, viewing the stars with s’mores in the amazing fire pit area, hiking at Apple Canyon, shopping downtown, we did it all! Hosts were very responsive. Thanks for hosting us!
