Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Galena

This was a girls trip. We were there Weds-Sun. The house is beautiful and well appointed. Walking distance to everything downtown. Our favorite breakfast spot was right at the bottom of the stairs. Would definitely stay here again!

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!

Very accommodating and family friendly place. Our family enjoyed being outside every free minute we had.

The Ravine Lodge is a relaxing spot to truly getaway and unplug. A short distance to downtown Galena and a few miles to the main Owners Lodge where the pool and gym are located. Windy roads so driving at night may not be ideal for some. Home was very clean and had all the amenities. We would come back!!

We had a great stay at the cabin for my brother’s bachelor party weekend. We played 2 golf courses, ate at one of the resort restaurants, and went downtown for dinner one night. It’s a 2 minute drive to the courses and 10 minutes to downtown. Great location that sat on one of the par 4s.

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!!

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!

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.

Enjoyed our stay. The place was as described and host was proactive and responsive. Have stayed at Linsy’s places before and would again whenever we are in town.

We had a great stay at Robin’s place! Right in the middle of town. Cute and cozy inside.

Thank you Don for your attentiveness and friendly welcome. Went to say goodbye, but you were off today… Good for you! We throughly enjoyed the games and location. Hoping it won’t be another 2 years before we come back. Maybe it will be through the week next time… nice and quiet today… Lori Johnson/Paul Simpson

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

Our family of six enjoyed our stay. Great communication. Great location, close to downtown and parks, and just a short drive to Galena.

Had a great say in Galena and wish we could have stayed longer. Ashlee's place was just as pictured, absolutely spotless, and had everything we needed! The location was perfect, and the free parking space was an amazing bonus. Check in was a breeze and communication was was great. Don't hesitate to book!

We had so much fun staying in Catherine’s suite! The location was perfect and we loved the music from the Grape Escape! We would most definitely stay here again!

Great overnight stay. Bed was comfortable. Neighborhood felt safe. Great restaurants, coffee shops and breweries within walking distance. Farmer’s Market was right outside our apartment on Saturday morning and it was wonderful. Would stay here again.

Listing was accurately described and in a great location near downtown Dubuque. Would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay. We were in town for baseball and it was great to be walking distance to so many restaurants and bars, as well as the hotel where teammates were staying.

Our family had a fantastic job at Dan's place. The location is great - close enough to the Eagle Ridge Inn and Owners Club, but very private location with a beautiful view of the lake. The unit had everything we need and was much larger than the pictures made it seem. Galena had great shopping and restaurants. Galena Territory Owners Club indoor pool was perfect for the kids. I'd recommend staying here anytime we make it back to Galena Territory!

Great place to stay very close to downtown Galena.

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights. It's a 10 min drive from downtown Galena in a quiet wooded area with paved trails that you can take to the nearby amenities. The place was clean, quiet, and the bathtub was amazing! The gym and indoor/outdoor pool are very nice but about 1.5 miles from the condo which wasn't stated anywhere (or at least not anywhere we saw) and was a little disappointing but overall wasn't a huge deal. The restaurant is a short walk through the trails or you can drive to it. It's right next door. Also, the initial message you get after booking with the rules and asking to email them out of the app was a little daunting and not normal for Airbnb bookings. It just had a less "homey" experience that you expect from Airbnb. It made me slightly nervous but after everything I would certainly stay here again.

This place was absolutely B.E.A.U.T.F.U.L! The staff were super sweet and friendly. So many things to do at Galena. Also, there was a table with “to do activities” That was very helpful. I would 100% come back. Thank you all staff for being such a good host.

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.

We had a wonderful five day stay at the driftless getaway! Everything was to our expectations and beyond. Nice little touches throughout the entire areas. (Love the twinkle lights) There were Activities for both kids and adults like games and coloring books provided in the space. As well as a coffee bar, retro mini fridge and treat baskets in each room. Our location was a quick 4 minute drive or 15 walk into the main street of Galena. The town is charming and there is plenty to see, eat, do. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again! Thank you both for such a lovely home away from home!
