A wonderful place to stay!
This is a lovely spot, perfect for families traveling together (and dog friendly, which we were so grateful for!). We stayed for a ski weekend and enjoyed nearby Chestnut Mountain. It was a great time!

Fantastic location and property!
We stayed for my husband's 50th for the weekend and the property was perfect, from relaxing in the living room to chilling out in the disco cave. Perfect base for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.

If you want to stay somewhere in Galena that represents what the area is all about, then this is the house for you! Perfectly furnished, comfortable beds, it has everything you could possibly need. The location is perfect, quiet neighborhood but right next to the downtown shopping. Very kind, attentive hosts. They have put a lot of thought into the home making sure it is the perfect place to relax!

Girls weekend
The place was comfortable & nicely decorated. Rooms are up steep stairs so keep that in mind. House has everything you need & perfect for dog as well - themed around dogs & has everything your dog would need to enjoy the place. The internet is not good in this area ( no fault of owner) just overall bad in Galena area. Very nice home.

Girls getaway
We had a wonderful time on our trip. There is so much to do and see in Galena. This house is perfectly located for walking everywhere. We enjoyed taking in the scenery and all the yummy food. We even got some Christmas shopping done. It is an older home as are most the homes in galena and we like the character and charm of older homes. It was nice not to have to park on the street. There were some dust bunnies and spiders, but overall was clean and had nice furniture. The tub and sink could use some caulking, but otherwise had no other complaints. I would stay here again.

Great place to make memories in Galena
Each year my two sisters and I find a new place to explore and enjoy a getaway weekend together. This year, that place was Galena. FiveTen Federal was our home for the weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a better place. Before we arrived, we received a warm and informative welcome from the hosts. When we walked in the front door, we knew we’d made a great choice. The space has abundant historic character, but the features are completely up to date, complemented by a delightful array of art throughout. We hung out around the sunny kitchen island sipping coffee each morning before heading out to experience Galena. The kitchen is well-equipped for anything you might want to prepare. In the evening, we gathered in the living room to listen to music as we talked about each day’s experiences. The property’s three bedrooms are upstairs. Each room was clean and inviting, with mattresses and bedding that guaranteed a good night’s rest. Although we didn’t use it, there’s a very nice laundry room on the upper floor. (For those with mobility challenges, the stairs to the second floor are narrow and steep. There is a handrail, but for some, the stairs might prove a bit daunting.) The property is located in a quiet neighborhood slightly away from the hustle and bustle of Galena’s Main Street. You can definitely walk into town. With temps in the teens and a brisk wind, though, we opted to drive. We found free parking without a problem. Bottom line: FiveTen Federal was the perfect spot to spend our Sisters Weekend. We highly recommend it. We totally enjoyed our time in Galena and FiveTen Federal was a big part of that.

Relaxing Pet-friendly Family Getaway
Ideally situated for exploring, and a great place to hang out in between activities. Extra dog-friendly, and accessible for senior dogs. Our 15 year old Lab, who can be anxious in new places, was very comfortable and enjoyed his walks into town (especially all the attention he received at Poopsie's). Kitchen is well-equipped, and the beds were way more comfortable than most places we've stayed. My daughter also really loved the record player and album selection.

Truly a Galena Gem!
If you are looking for a place to stay that represents Galena, this is the perfect home for you! Kind, attentive hosts have made it so that you will not want for anything. Unique decor, plenty of space and thoughtfully furnished, they have given great attention to making sure your stay is cozy and comfortable! It is in the perfect location, in a quiet neighborhood but very close to downtown shopping. Plenty of space to park. One of our favorite rentals so far! We really enjoyed the home and hope to stay again!
