It's a perfect mix of history and luxury. Just 3 blocks from the historic downtown.
"Beyond the beauty and history of the house itself, the hosts are the kindest and most thoughtful we've encountered. They went out of their way to make the experience memorable and we're deeply appreciative. We recommend The Grant House highly." Stephen

Summary: We stayed at the property for a girls weekend away and had a great time! The house is very clean and beautifully period appropriate decorated. We were thrilled by some of the amenities that we didn’t expect like a new stove and air conditioning. It is very close to downtown but there are lots of hills. We loved that it was a stop on the historical trolley tour too! We would highly recommend!

Summary: Fun property because of the unique design and historical significance of the house. Perfect for the four of us (two couples) in Galena to do some golfing, eating, drinking, and socializing. Even spent a few minutes exploring the historic cemetery behind the house. House was clean and had everything that was needed. Communication from the host was clear and concise and even the neighbors would ask how things were going when we encountered them.

Summary: Six of us spent the weekend celebrating my husband’s 60th birthday at Grant’s pre civil war home. First thing we noticed was the cleanliness of the home. All the history books and the layout of the home was fun to explore. The cake left for us to help celebrate the birthday weekend was beautiful and definitely very appreciated. I know my husband and friends totally enjoyed their time together, having the historic background was the icing on the cake!
