I absolutely adored this home. I can't say enough about the little extra touches that made a big difference. The extra cups and cookware, the extra and great towels, the little products provided in the bathrooms, the creamer in the fridge and the snacks...it was so sweet and made it such a wonderful safe.

Great house and host

We really enjoyed our stay. Our host was very friendly and went above and beyond by recommending places to eat/who delivers and even offering to make up the pullout couch bed ahead of time for us. Even let us check in early! The house was also well stocked with blankets, sheets, pillows, towels, and even coffee. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Wonderful girls weekend getaway!

Our stay was wonderful -- the home was clean and had everything we needed. We appreciated having a bathroom for each bedroom, and separate thermostats in each space. The host was very communicative and texted right away when we accidentally left a pair of boots behind. The area was very quiet and the home super cozy!

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderfully peaceful getaway from Chicago in this private, extremely comfortable and well appointed townhome. Being able to curl up in front of a fire at the end of the day was a dose of relaxing comfort. Galena is only a 15 minute drive away and you have your pick of restaurants and bars. We want to go back!

This is a beautiful property. It is extremely well stocked and clean. We were 6 ladies that stayed. Plenty of room for all of us to relax and spread out. We cook some meals in and didn't need any extra pans etc. We go out during the day and play board games at night. It is very quiet and situated perfectly in the territory. I would suggest Bob's lovely condo to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend!
