Coach House

We've been coming to Galena for the last 13 years. Almost always in the winter to ski and enjoy Whiskey Weekend. In years past we have had larger groups, but these days it's just us. We have stayed in the Coach House before and it is such a unique and cozy experience. We absolutely love this house! It's perfect for our weekend trips from down state. Check-In is always a breeze. The place is always clean and welcoming. Plus, you're a short walk to Main St, but still far enough away to have a quiet evening in. Cannot recommend this property or Vacation Homes of Galena enough! They are always wonderful to work with. We will never go through anyone else!

The Coach House didn't disappoint! The space was immaculately clean and very nicely appointed. You can tell the property owners care about the quality of your stay! Comfy beds, plenty of towels, and linens. The second-floor family room is cozy. We have already recommended the property to friends looking to visit Galena. It's absolutely within walking distance of the Main Street shopping & restaurant district.

We had two couples and stayed at the coach house for two nights. It was very cute and clean. Old feel but renovated. Short walk to downtown Galena with places to park on site. Beds were comfy. Would have loved to use the outside patio but it was Feb. Seating areas were a little small but fine for the 4 of us.

The water for the shower was only mildly warm it seemed like there was no hot water need to fix for next renters

We loved staying at the Coach House! It was clean, walking distance to all the shops and restaurants and a really great place for us girls to stay for a long weekend.

This little cottage was the perfect romantic getaway we wanted! We walked to the shops and restaurants, Grant Park, and the fall foliage was exactly what I was looking for. This was the perfect fall getaway and we will be coming back!

Can’t say anything negative about this cute little house. We stayed with another couple and had so much fun! A short couple of minutes walk to downtown was extremely convenient. House was clean and tidy. The stairs may be a problem for someone with limited nobilities, but we had no issues. Everything was clean and in order, the beds and pillows were comfy, and upper and lower outdoor seating areas. Would stay here again!

60th B day party for my Mom in Galena. This house is in a very convenient location close to historic downtown Galena. Due to extreme heat we did end up driving down to shop but if it was cooler we could have easily walked. The house was clean, cute, and well stocked with anything we needed. Beds were comfortable and the water pressure in the shower was great! Nice quiet neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again.

My sister and I stayed in this beautiful coach house for 2 nights in July 2023. The location is great for walking to town. The house was very clean and had all the essentials you need. There is a bed and bath on the second floor, and another on the third- both beds were very comfortable.

Quiet location, walking distance to all downtown
activities. Appreciated off street parking close to entrance. Charming cottage, well kept. Refrigerator wasn't working but it was replaced with a new one. Would rent again

Nice stay close to downtown. Very clean and well stocked. 2 full bedrooms with a blow up bed. No good area for blow up. Short walk downtown or quick drive most anywhere. Highly recommend.

Just stayed with my in laws, husband, and son, and we couldn't have had a nicer time! The coach house is very well appointed, comfortable, located walking distance to Main St, all around great stay!

Couldn’t have asked for anything more quaint, close to downtown, and perfect size for 2 couples comfortably!

Beautiful home on so many levels! Beautifully renovated home very comfortable. Did I mention levels. . 3 actually! Entry level has kitchen and small living space. A short climb to level two with bedroom/. Bath and living room and a nice deck. Another climb to bedroom and bath three. But as a local told us-hey, in Galena you have to climb everywhere.

Great girls weekend getaway. Perfect for kids age 9-12

Spotless and charming. Awesome communication. Perfect location. Couldn’t ask for anything else!

This was our second year staying here for the luminarium celebration. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our staff. Especially enjoyed the kitchen area with the fire place. Bedrooms and bathrooms were nice. Close and quick proximity to downtown Galena. Other reviewers have commented on the stairs and while yes, a bathroom on the entry level by the kitchen/fire place would be nice, it was not a deal breaker for us. We loved our stay and are looking forward to when we can come back during the summer months to enjoy more of the outdoor areas the property offers.

The Coach house was very comfortable and charming.

Great house with interesting detail and lovely, warm decor. Immaculate through and through and well stocked with anything you might need for your stay. Close to shopping, but far enough away to feel away from the crowds.

Great place to stay! It was close the the downtown area so very convenient for us. Absolutely loved the house, updated and had everything we needed all with so much charm! Exactly what we were looking for.

My sister is getting married, so we decided a weekend in Galena was the perfect way to celebrate her! We were delighted to find the charming Coach House. The walk to Main Street was quick, and the home itself was comfortable for five women (I slept on the couch, which was actually quite comfortable). We will definitely stay at the Coach House next time we are in Galena!

My three sisters and I enjoyed a few nights at this charming venue. We loved the location and the amenities. There was a problem with the air conditioning and it was addressed in a timely manner. The property is clean and comfortable. If you cannot do stairs, do not choose this venue.

Comfy, cozy, well maintained, perfect distance from downtown, loved it!

Great location I'm town!

very comfortable kitchen space. lots of outdoor room. lots of parking. very comfortable sleeping quarters. very clean and well maintained. assistance was quickly available for questions. very nice pool area at clubhouse. wonderful little town offering both quaint park spaces and bustling touristy city center.

We stayed at Coach house for a girls’ weekend. The house was extremely clean and had everything we needed for a weekend stay. There was plenty of room for 2 of us. It’s super close to downtown (we chose to drive and it’s about 2 minutes). We would definitely choose this house again!

Bedrooms are on the second and third level. No dishwasher. Very cute, cozy and comfortable. I would stay here again.

We rented this cabin for the weekend for my Mom’s birthday. Everyone had such a good time! Galena is such a lovely area to walk around, and this cozy cabin was the perfect place to come home too. We were a group of 5, so used both bedrooms, as well as the blowup mattress. Since I slept on blowup mattress, I just wanted fo mention that it was the nicest blow up mattress I’ve ever slept on: it fills in minutes because you plug it in, and it keeps air all night (no deflating). It was sadly too cold to full utilize the beautiful deck but our group definitely plans to return! Thank you!

We LOVED our experience at the Coach House. The location is so convenient with an easy walk to downtown Galena. No worries about finding parking & the walk is only a couple minutes. The house is super cute & clean. This will definitely be the place we stay next time we are visiting Galena.

lovely decorated home with 2 very spacious bedrooms, baths and 2 living areas. TVs in all areas, full kitchen with plenty of supplies. 2 flights of stairs may trouble some but this won't keep us from returning.

This was a cozy home, beautifully appointed, comfortable, clean and so close to downtown Galena. We would walk to Main Street.

We enjoy staying at the Coach house each year. Last year we missed staying due to COVID-19 Pandemic but made up for it this year. Enjoyed the close drive to the shops and restaurants. Beautiful clean home to relax in. We love the special features on the two flights of stairs and the comfy beds.

It was wonderful relaxing and a great experience
for our family thank you

We had a wonderful time staying at the Coach House in Galena. We will try to make it a regular "girls" vacation. Thank you for everything.

This home has beautiful finishes and is so convenient to Galena's historic district, restaurants and shops. Be aware that there is no shower in the Queen bedroom attached bathroom, just a whirlpool tub. Perfect for a family, a little awkward for two couples vacationing together. But a small nit for a great stay!

Clean and convenient to downtown. Great for 2 couples.

My two adult daughters and I stayed in the Coach House for two nights and loved it. We had stayed here before a few years ago. It's so close to town so we could walk there. The inside is completely updated and the beds are so comfy. Would definitely recommend staying here. We will do it again. Check in and out so easy.

The location of the cottage was perfect. The cleanliness, kitchen items, the extra reading material and the uniqueness made our time very enjoyable.

The carriage house is charming and spotlessly clean. The bed was amazing (so many pillows and great bed linens) and so was the shower - plenty of water pressure. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans so you can cook. It's a short walk to downtown Galena. The check in and check out instructions were clear and thorough.

The Coach House was a perfect Galena get-away. The full kitchen provided a great setting to prepare a home cooked meal and avoid the calories of eating out every meal. An easy walk to downtown Galena provided the ability to shop the historic stores. The owner and management company had the home in top condition.

We had a very relaxing weekend in the beautifully cozy coach house.

Very cute cottage. Clean, great location, and comfy beds. I've stayed in many homes in Galena and this one is always at the top of the list.

Very clean and well decorated coach house within walking distance to all of the shops.

My friend and I spent 2 nights at the coach house. It was a beautiful stay. We had some trouble getting in when we arrived but the owner came by and sorted it out. The house is beautiful and very nicely decorated. Both bedrooms are large each with its own spacious bathroom and could accommodate 2 couples easily. The kitchen is small but well equipped. The location is perfect, right on the edge of town with everything within walking distance. Would recommend for anyone seeking a warm, inviting home with access to everything Galena has to offer.

The Coach House is a historic little house that suited our party of three perfectly. The owner stopped by to help us out with something and gave us a little history lesson on the place. We would definitely return.

Very much enjoyed our stay. Very close to downtown. We walked all the time. Can't wait to book it again!!

The house is small but what it lacks in size it makes up for in character. The kitchen area is beautiful with the stone walls and fireplace. It is just a couple of blocks from downtown and all of the restaurants and shops. Would definitely recommend this house and would stay again!

Love this place! Perfect location, cute and clean, we will be back!

We love the Coach House! We take a yearly couple's trip to Galena and we've stayed in the Coach House for the last 3 years. It's so relaxing and within walking distance from downtown. Always clean and inviting. We'll be back again! :)

The house is a short walk to Main St. The perfect size for 4-6 people and so nicely decorated and comfortable.

My husband and I love the Coach house. It is perfect for us as we are 60 yrs old and love to walk around Galena all of the shops and restaurants. This house is very clean and although it has two flights of stairs, we don't have any physical problems so the stairs do not bother us. Linda is great to work with for reservations and she is always available to be able to text and she responded quickly while we were there with any minor maintenance needs that we had reported to her. We love the soft big bath towels that were provided and the very comfy king bed on the third floor. The mattress was nice & firm and it didn't have any sagging like other mattress do in previous places that we have stayed at. The kitchen on the first level is great for our morning coffee and breakfast before heading out to the sites. The Coach House is wonderful!

The coach house was charming and quiet yet walkable to the historic downtown. The house has been renovated so very comfortable. Cozy kitchen, great family room with large tv. Master bedroom great! Loved the big tub! The house was very clean and had everything you needed. We will be back!

Great small house. Well equipped kitchen which we made good use of for meals. Great location close to downtown and walking path along river. Only concern was third floor could use supplemental air conditioning with the hotter temperatures.

We really loved our stay here. The house was rented for a couples' get away. Unfortunately one of the couples had to cancel last minute, so we used it for just the 2 of us. We had a great weekend, and thought we would love to come back and stay there again with our friends, as it is well set up and very conveniently located. We were able to walk to town, ride to the bike path straight from the house, and loved the wine fest going on in the park that we could walk to.

We checked in easily on Friday afternoon, were really happy with the space. There was an en suite BR on the 2nd floor with a Queen, and another on the 3rd with a King. Only one shower, which is on the 3rd floor. If it hadn't been so buggy, there is a nice deck and grill to use. Very close to Main Street and Otto's across the river. There was a great TV to watch movies on the 2nd floor with comfortable furniture. Note that it is not for people with disabilities.

Great home with tons of character. Would definitely stay here again. Less than 10 minute walk to downtown

The Coach House was perfect! We stayed in Galena with another couple and loved our accommodations! The kitchen/living room were perfect to enjoy coffee and breakfast before heading out to explore for the day and then a great place to unwind and enjoy happy hour before we went out for the evening! Although it was so cozy we could have easily enjoyed an evening in!
The location is superb! We walked to town a couple of times a day...
The bedrooms were comfortable, clean, and cozy!
I highly recommmend the Coach House!

Great place, clean and comfy.

Nice to be able to walk downtown Galena. Cute place and well supplied.

We spent 3 nights at the Coach House with our 2 young boys. The location was fantastic just steps from Main Street! The house is nicely renovated with great use of space. The management team was prompt in answering questions we had prior to the trip. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Galena!

Our group of four ladies very much enjoyed this lovely, quaint home located just around the corner from the downtown strip. No driving was a huge plus! All the amenities were provided in the home, although it would be nice to have a dishwasher. We would definitely go back!

What a charming home, close to everything.

Beautiful home, great location, walkable to downtown shops, quiet property that is incredibly clean and homey. We would definitely return!

This was our second time staying at the Coach House and we again had a wonderful time! We brought my mother-in-law this time for her 60th birthday and we had a great time walking the shops, eating at the different restaurants and enjoying the wine festival. This surely will not be our last visit.

We had a wonderful time at the Coach House. This is a cozy, cottage that was perfect for the 4 of us. Galena is a treasure of history. Loved the old homes and city center. We would recommend this guest house and this destination!

My wife, two girls and I spent Memorial Day weekend here and had a great time. The property and amenities were top notch and we were all very comfortable in this small but surprisingly functional space. Only disappointment was not being able to grill due to the swarm of insects waiting outside, but we still had a great time and hope to be back again. By the way, my girls enjoyed watching the birds nest on the 2nd floor entry.

The Coach House was within easy walking distance to down town Galena. It's located his a quiet historic neighborhood, and it has a lot of charm and character. It was clean and very comfortable. We will be staying again.

We loved staying in the Coach House. Its perfect for a couples getaway. Within walking distance to downtown and very convenient. Access to the pool was further than we had thought, but we had an excellent time.

We celebrated our anniversary at your property. It was very cold outside 20 below wind chills. The coach house was inviting, warm and cozy. Loved it!

The Coach House is just what we hoped it would be... cute, cozy and clean! Every inch of the house has been put to great use. There are two cute bedrooms and two living spaces. Perfect for two couples or a group of friends. It's also a very short walk to the downtown area which is what we wanted. Also, the property's management company was amazing to work with and so was the cleaning gal. Very impressed and like I said... we'll definitely be back!!

This was our first of many girls weekends to Galena - we decided that the minute we pulled up to The Coach House and it was confirmed when we stepped foot inside. It was clean, so cute and perfect for the 5 of us. We loved sitting around the kitchen with the fireplace on. It was a perfect location from Main Street. We will definitely be back in the warmer months as well!

While quite pricey once all the fees are tacked on, this place did not disappoint. It was the perfect place for our weekend girls trip. It was maintained the way a hotel would maintain their quarters, fresh paint, fresh towels, etc. No gross smell like some rental houses tend to have. Just a beautiful house with all the amenities (except a hot tub on the deck would have been perfect!!) The walk to downtown Galena was perfect, we walked there and back each time and did not need to call a cab. We recommend eating at Gobbies for their Greek Mediterranean pizza, stopping at the cheese store at the beginning of the strip on your right for some cheese, wine tasting and delish olive oil and balsamic tasting station (and tasty seasoned crackers), touring the Dowling House (oldest house in Galena, so unique and it's supposedly haunted) and walking one of the many long flights of stairs up the hill to the streets parallel to the downtown (your calves will be sore the next day)! So many cute boutiques to shop in, too! We will stay here again... although we may invite more than just the three of us next time to cut down on cost as almost $200 per person for a 2 night's stay would have been better spent on more wine and oils to bring home! If you stay here, don't forget to turn the thermostat back down to 60, bring all dirty towels to the laundry room, remove the garbage bags and take them to the outdoor trash cans, and do your dishes as to not accrue additional fees. That's one thing I would have liked... a "to do" list of things to not forget to do before you leave.

We really enjoyed our stay at the coach house! Quaint,cozy, clean... perfect !

Girls weekend in Galena and this little place was perfect!

Talk about perfect. Very close to downtown and within walking distance of Main Street and the park. House is exactly as described. Cozy and warm and could not ask for anything better. Plenty of space for four adults with rooms to sit and chat no problem. Definitely will be back!

The house was decorated well and very clean. My sisters and I are in our sixties and seventies with minor health issues. We had difficulties with navigating the multiple floors of the house. The kitchen was on the first floor, the bath rooms were on the second and third floor with very steep stairs. I would recommend this house for a young family.

I couldn't ask for more when it comes to location! This is in walking distance to downtown. We were here for a girl's weekend and were able to walk downtown to shops and restaurants. Everyone loved the decor and charm of this house! Will definitely stay here again!

Love the Coach House. Close to everything. We were able to walk to most attractions. We love the outdoors and always enjoy morning coffee outside. The patio/deck area was not suitable for outdoor usage.
