Perfection

Everything about our stay at the Owl House was perfect.. Location was easily walkable to Main Street where there are shops and restaurants. House has historic bones but modern amenities and a cozy feel. Stocked with all we needed for our stay: coffee, snacks, water and other drinks. We really enjoyed the library where we listened to some great music on the record player…brought back some special memories. Appreciated the attention to detail and would definitely recommend this home. Already thinking of returning for a girl trip 😊

Perfect location

We had a great time at the Owl House. It was clean, and perfect for the two of us. We loved sitting on the sun porch/dining area. We loved the snacks and drinks that were provided, and the souvenir owl. We played a few records, sat in the screened in porch, and just hung out. No complaints. Parked on Friday and walked everywhere in Galena. Hope to be back soon.

Weekday Escape

My stay at the Owl House was perfect! I stayed during the week and there was good parking available. The house is stand alone, not connected to another property, so it was nice and peaceful! The hosts were incredible and very accommodating. I will definitely stay there again!
