With numerous Airbnb options around the Prairie State, why not choose one with a little history? In the charmingly historical small town of Galena, a former commercial warehouse from the late-1800s has been transformed into a cozy, comfortable abode. With all the creature comforts included in this one-of-a-kind accommodation, along with its close proximity to Main Street, it’s the perfect choice for a getaway.

Welcome to the Owl House, named after the owls etched in the frosted door windows. This 1200-square-foot, two-story home was built circa 1880. First used as a commercial warehouse for several businesses along Main Street, it then served as a carriage house before it was converted into a luxury rental.

Though the space has been renovated and updated to include modern luxury elements, it has still maintained several of its original rustic characteristics such as exposed ceilings, stone and brick walls, and unfinished wood flooring.

While The Owl House is a hop, skip, and a jump away from Main Street and all its incredible dining options, it's nice to know that a fully equipped kitchen awaits you. If you decide to cook any of your meals, you'll have everything you need. An assortment of snacks, tea, coffee, and water are also provided with your stay.

You may choose to enjoy your meals around the counter or at the dining table.
