Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Lake Galena

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!

This airbnb is exactly like how it was pictured. Felt like home away from home. Chelsey was very friendly and responsive. This felt like our own private retreat. I would highly recommend booking any stays in this home. It was bright inside the home, and everything was squeaky clean. All the amenities were of high quality. Will definitely be visiting 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!

Stayed here with family. Easy to find. Quiet. Layout worked out well. 3 bathrooms! Able to block off stairs. traveled with a senior dog with a bad knee. Kitchen had anything we needed. Relaxing after a day at Chesnut Mountain. Beds comfortable, bathrooms spotless. husband enjoyed the puzzle ball game. Nicely decorated to reflect the holiday season!

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!

We loved the condo--the view, the neighborhood, the comfortable rooms and furnishings.

Very nice place, a short drive into Galena and around 20 minutes to Chestnut Mountain. We stayed there with our daughter and two of her friends, and they thought it was great. It snowed before we arrived, and we appreciated that Stefania removed the snow and made it easy to get in and out.

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!!

The space and location is perfect! Jenn is a great host and responds quickly to any questions. I look forward to staying here again next time I am in town!

This was the second time we have stayed at Ulysses over the New Year eve and will likely do it again next year. The attention to detail the owners have put into these suites is simply amazing. The décor is all very modern, but yet fits the charm of this historic building. From the top of the line appliances to the steam shower, this place feels like a home, not a rental. David Scott

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!

We enjoyed our stay at Nick's place. It was quite spacious! The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, pots and cutlery allowing us to cook during our stay. The place was also very centrally located. We were able to walk to a good many of our destinations. We'd stay here again in the future!

Booked this place for a sister weekend, and it was a great walking distance from shops and restaurants. Check in was super easy and easy instructions to follow. Host is very quick at responding! Would love to stay here again!

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.

Everything was great! We needed more space to sleep for the holidays when visiting family and this was perfect!

Great location. Super clean! Beautiful space. Great that it has a parking space. Thank you! No issues. Is a little loud if there are guests upstairs.

The Merry Mansion was perfect for our family; we had several people staying, but were able to host some additional local family members for meals - a huge kitchen provided plenty of space for meal preparation and the two dining rooms provided more than ample space for enjoying our home-cooked meals together. The decor is lovely and there was plenty of space for privacy in bedrooms or socializing in the two living rooms. It is conveniently located to both Dubuque and Galena and walkable to establishments in East Dubuque. Corey was wonderful, a proactive communicator and very responsive to questions; he was available at check-in to provide a very helpful tour of the mansion, as well. We will be back again for another Christmas celebration!

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.

beautiful historic home close to downtown. my sister and I were able to walk home from the bars! located on the bluff with a beautiful view, but not a good location for people with mobility issues.

We would highly recommend this property. It was exactly as described, cozy, comfortable and lovely. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable. Just a quick drive into downtown Galena. Dana was a wonderful host, had great recommendations for us, and was very responsive. We will definitely be coming back! 😎

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.

Dan was responsive to any of my questions before our stay. We booked a villa for a girls relaxing weekend. The place was well stocked, gorgeous, great character preserved in the building restoration to enjoy throughout the stay, clean, homey, had a private off street parking spot, views of the river, I could go on. They paid great attention to detail to remove any frustrations of staying in a new place by labeling light switches, fans, etc. in the three level villa. The only thing that went wrong, was he forgot to order warmer April weather for us so we could sit outside and enjoy the outdoor offerings of the property. Just kidding of course. I highly recommend Dan’s place for a great weekend getaway or extended stay. It’s a true, Iowa Riverview paradise.
