Family-friendly vacation rentals in Jo Daviess County

Recommended place to stay with families

Had a great time for my mother’s 75th birthday day. All family greatly enjoyed ourselves.

a good house for rest, homely atmosphere and beautiful nature for autumn rest

My family of 5 traveled to Galena over Thanksgiving and stayed in this home. It was very comfortable and clean, and my family had a wonderful visit. Everything in the home was as described, and Stephen was quick to respond to any questions that I had. The town is charming, and quaint. We went on a ghost tour, shopped downtown and went to Grant’s home. We would 100% stay at Stephen’s place again if we ever go back to Galena!

We planned a ThanksMas here with my family. We could not have had a better place to celebrate. I love everything vintage/old - this was perfect. We did not have a lot of time to do more than just our together time, but the area offers a lot to do. Don and Kari were the perfect host/hostess. I would stay at their home again any time. Thank you Don and Kari for a perfect holiday!

Jan was great!! The place messed up our room but she did her best to make it right. We appreciate her attention and her desire to fix the situation.

Great price for a lovely weekend. Group of ten were comfortable and had plenty of privacy. We went for the balloon festival which we could see from the yard. Plenty of towels for hot tub. Thank you!

The house was beautiful! Hot tub was great! Had a bonfire and it was very relaxing!!! Has 2 little girls who wanted to buy the house. Enjoyed the stay!

We enjoy this mansion a lot! We have 4 families celebrating boys high school graduation. The boys love the large meeting rooms, and there is plenty of space for them to explore and play. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we need. The rooms are well decorated. We'd like to stay here again when we are back. Thanks, Robert!

Overall we were very pleased. The home was very clean, there were instructions posted throughout and the location was great. We did have a few issues connecting to the WiFi but my husband was able to figure it out with Peggy’s husband. We would stay here again.

Ryan's place was really quite lovely. It was nicely located and easy to get to. We slept 7 people from 3 different families, and it was easy. The townhouse is really quite efficient. Also, it was very well supplied. Usually when we travel, we go to restaurants, but this time we cooked a lot, and we never wanted for anything. The townhome had all the plates, frying pans, saucepans, etc. that we needed.

Great Weekend. Really enjoyed the peaceful surroundings. Went on a few nice walks in the countryside. Cozy evenings watching movies by the fire, visiting Galena and Apple Canyon was fun. The place is really nice for 2. The upstairs bedroom was quiet at night and the sun beaming in in the morning was a nice way to start the day. Downstairs, the living space is cozy and warm. In the front bedroom we could hear the people in the unit downstairs, and I'm sure they could probably hear us, so we kept that door closed which seemed to help.

Great stay overall! Condo matched description, had space as described, and was perfect for our stay. The local area was beautiful and we enjoyed the territory amenities during our visit.

We had such a wonderful stay for our girls weekend! The house is beautiful and spacious. The area is so peaceful and beautiful! It is a great place to stay!

My family and I had a wonderful weekend staying here. We all had our own space and the house was beautifully built. Very secluded and private. About 10 minute drive to downtown where it’s great for shopping and eating! Highly recommend!

We had an absolute blast! The hot tub was perfect in the cold weather.

The place was perfect. Everything was as described. Very clean and comfortable. Lovely settling and very relaxing, plus anything you could need was provided. The guest book was very informative. Quick ride to downtown. I will definitely check in to renting this spot again on my next visit in the near future. I’d love to stay again, it was so cozy I hated to leave! Thank you for your hospitality!

Loved our stay here! Such a lovely weekend home away from home with breathtaking views!

Had a lovey stay. Beautiful clean home. Was nice to come back to after snowboarding at Chestnut. We will visit again.

Gingers place was absolutely gorgeous! Had everything we needed and more. I would highly recommend to anyone. I cant wait to go back.

This is the 2nd time I booked Laurie's place, so you know we were pleased the first time. It didn't disappoint. Last time was for our son's wedding, this time was for our future daughter-in-law's girls' weekend. House was perfect for hanging out, close to downtown for shopping and a night out.

The unit was very nice and matches everything said about it. Although we didn’t spend a lot of time in the unit we definitely could have. The town of Galena is very historical and beautiful. We loved our visit.

Always fun to stay at the Eagle Ridge Resort and golf course. We had a fabulous meal Saturday evening in the lodge - beautifully decorated for Christmas! Easy to get around on the roads and surroundings.

excellent location, fast and easy to downtown shops, or to explore the amenities. amazing restaurants, felt safe. will stay again.
