Girls’ Getaway
We spent 5 nights at the Nook! It was perfect for our stay! The home was clean, cozy and Phil’s communication couldn’t have been better. We loved the hot tub. The kitchen was fairly large and equipped. We enjoyed the coziness of the living room too. We drove to town which took about 5 minutes. We would definitely return!

Wonderful fall visit to Galena
My wife, dog, and I had a wonderful stay at this property. The hosts were incredibly communicative and accommodating. Very comfortable with great amenities, and a very short (and pretty) walk to Main Street Galena. Large backyard for our dog to explore! Will definitely plan future trips here in the future.

Galena getaway
Cousins getting together for a weekend in Galena. We found the Nook to be a perfect base of operations for our exploration of Galena. The Nook was clean, perfectly appointed with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We didn’t even have a chance to enjoy the fire pit or the hot tub. We highly recommend the Nook!!!

Fun stay
Phil was a helpful host and the Nook was as advertized. It was clean and included the necessities, like shampoo and towels. We appreciated the living room area where we could sit and talk as a group. The kitchen is a bit small for multiple people doing multiple kitchen tasks, but we managed. I would recommend this place and host.

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful girl’s weekend at this adorable home! Clean, cute, good gathering space, and located in an historic neighborhood. Large yard with BBQ, fire pit, and hot tub. We didn’t have a dog, but noticed that it was well outfitted for a pup. Deck gate, fenced yard, dog bowls, bed and treats. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the host’s great communication. We hope to be back!

Mother/Daughters’ Trip
The Nook is a super cute house in a great location in Galena. Only about a 10 min walk from Main Street. The hot tub was a great bonus and we loved using it. Loved the convenience of the smart lock for accessing the house. There is a train track that runs right by the house both during the day and the middle of the night. It didn’t bother us, but may bother some. There were a few housekeeping issues that should have been taken care of prior to our arrival which is why I gave cleanliness a 4 star rating. However, Phil was quick to respond and got everything taken care of right away. There was a big storm that moved through prior to our arrival, Phil made sure our comfort was prioritized prior to any clean up happening during our stay. Zach and the tree crew got the downed trees cleaned up and someone will luck out on some firewood if they can handle the mosquitos! Would stay here again.

Clean, comfortable, and exactly as listed! Phillip was a great host who was easy to communicate with. We loved the convenience of the smart lock for check in and check out. House is in a great spot for walking over to main street for food and drinks. Backyard and hot tub were fabulous! Perfect house for a little getaway with our baby and dogs

Stayed here for a girls weekend. Very cute little house with fun artistic touches. Clean, nicely furnished with special extras like robes in the rooms. Hot tub worked well. Great location in a quiet neighborhood within 10-15 minute walk of the Main Street with shops and restaurants. Hosts were really responsive, easy check-in.

We had our dog with us and the doggie touches were nice and appreciated. Great backyard although we didn’t get to enjoy it as much as we wanted to.
