We were a group of 4 couples and had the most enjoyable weekend in Galena and staying at our spacious yet cozy home. Perfect location just outside the entrance to downtown. Spacious deck to socialize, cozy and comfortable rooms and beautiful and creative decor throughout the home. The home had everything you needed and the heated floors were a bonus! Would definitely stay again.
We loved our family weekend in Galena with our adult children and their + 1's. The location of this property was perfect. Everything we did was within walking distance. Property manger was easy to work with.
The location could not be better and this house was one of very few with four bedrooms. However, one bedroom did not have a door and one was practically attached to the kitchen. Parking was easy and everything we wanted to see and do was walkable. This house needs some work but overall it worked out for us.
We played board games and ordered in pizza our first night. The second day we spent shopping and tasting wines. We had tons of fun at the Scent Workshop. Dinner at Fries Green Tomatoes. We had plenty of room for 8 young ladies. We rented the entire house. Perfect location for walking.
Our group included four sisters and our four adult daughters. We had an amazing time shopping, dining, and doing the distillery tour. The location of the house is a PERFECT walking distance to the Main Street shops and restaurants.
The location was wonderful. So close to shops and restaurants in downtown Galena. Everything was clean, response from host was quick, and had an overall great experience.
Weekend girls trip ages 27 to 86. Beautiful home within walking distance to the little shops, winery's and the most delicious restaurants. This hidden gem is as close as you can get to right out of a Hallmark movie. We will definitely return!
Such a wonderful stay in Galena thanks to our hostess and her riverside home.
Easy walking to Grants Park, Park Avenue, downtown, Trolly tours, fine dining. Then back to enjoy a glass of wine on the deck where deer and squirrels came to visit! Great place to stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. It was perfect for our group of 8 adults! The location proved to be perfect - we didn't need to drive anywhere as it was located right at the beginning of the historic district. The keypad entry was an easy solution to various comings and goings of everyone. We would recommend this location for your stay in Galena!
This is an excellent location. Only reason for 4 rating is the temperature- the thermostat is controlled remotely and it was very warm - power went out one night (out of owners control). The upstairs rooms got warm at night. We did enjoy the space and location!
You can't beat the location (just outside of the floodgates) and I was surprised by the size of the rooms (there's one bedroom on the first floor and three bedrooms upstairs). We got use out of the first-floor kitchen, back family room, and the deck. Everything was clean and organized.

About the host
Hosted by Debra Malone
Born and raised near Galena, I moved to Chicago, but then rediscovered the beauty of Galena later in life. Eventually I made my permanent home here. I love outdoor sports and found a gem of a playground for outdoor sports in the greater Galena area. Because of its beautiful rolling terrain and the river that runs through it, Galena is a great destination to bike, paddle, run, ski and hike. I can share my knowledge of all outdoor places to go and the hidden jewels around the area. Just ask me. I've been a rental host since 2017 and I manage a few properties. I do this for a living and so it's my priority to ensure that you have a comfortable stay and that you're completely happy, when you've chosen my homes.
Why they chose this property
My home is newly remodeled and in an ideal location. On the south end of Main street (quiet end that is), and less than a block from downtown shops, bike path, and boat landing. The bonus is a gorgeous river view. The river is located just across the street.
What makes this property unique
What makes Fever River View is unique is that you can sit on the rockers on the porch with a lovely view of the Galena river, or you may sit on a large new back deck and grill out. It's the only home on main street that has both options and yet is in close walking distance to everything downtown. Another benefit, is that it's located on the quiet end of main street, just far enough away from the loud bars and nightlife.
