The City of Galena is located in rolling hills of Northwest Illinois. The history, 19th century architecture and opportunities for year round outdoor recreation attract nearly a million visitors a year. A visit to Galena is truly like stepping back in time. A full eighty-five percent of Galena's buildings are in a National Register Historic District. Even the scenic beauty of the surrounding hills and valleys is a testament to being untouched by time. Grab a coffee or a bite to eat at one of the many renowned restaurants in the area. Galena Country also boasts some of the best vineyards in the Midwest. Plus Main Street Galena has built a reputation of its own with art galleries, antiques stores, and eclectic boutiques all housed in beautifully restored 19th century buildings.
Downtown Galena is filled with unique shopping and wonderful restaurants in beautifully restored 19th century buildings.
Outdoor activities abound in the Galena area - from hiking and canoeing to alpine sledding and skiing in the winter.
Galena offers something for everyone. Grant's Museum, art galleries to peruse, and live music and entertainment will keep you busy.

This Sweet Escape provides a wonderful space for family gatherings or girlfriend get-always. There is ample space to spread out. We played games at the large table in the dining room and enjoyed the hot-tub. The owner has provided a book of instructions that are very helpful, even with pictures for those of us who need visual cues! Very comfortable home with a well-equipped kitchen, including a crockpot. ~ Lori
The house has such great curb appeal and was super clean. The wi-fi was strong and we had no problem putting 10 guests on it. Would love to come back during the spring or summer and use that fire pit table and screened in porch! ~ Jolene
We booked Sweet Escape for a weekend with friends and skiing at Chestnut. The home is perfect for groups with plenty of seating, linens and dishes to accommodate. 2 decks on the main floor with beautiful views. This home is quiet and has blinds in the bedrooms for some good sleeping. All the beds were very comfy with lots of pillows. The hot tub was easy to use along with clear and easy instructions for checking out. Jennifer was quick to communicate a few tips and updates. We are already planning to return next year! ~ Abbie
