What guests think
At The FiveTen Federal - Downtown Galena Gem!, reviewers consistently praise its charming, well-equipped historic vibe, comfortable beds, dog-friendly touches, and inviting common areas that make it easy for groups to gather, relax, and enjoy time together between outings.
The location is walkable to downtown in about 10–15 minutes, set in a quiet neighborhood with the bonus of driveway parking. Guests highlight a well-stocked kitchen and a playful disco cave with a record player for hanging out. Cleanliness and maintenance earn high marks overall, with a few mentions of a musty arrival odor, occasional dust or caulk touch-ups, and a finicky keypad lock. Expect a comfortable, character-filled base close to Main Street.

We stayed at this house for our company Christmas party and were pleased with our stay. It was very clean, and the "disco room" was a unique and fun room to hang out in. One of the bedrooms was a bit cozy, but the communal areas were spacious and nicely decorated. The location was great—just far enough away from the busy Main Street of Galena, but close enough to get there with a quick walk.Would stay here again!

I would definitely recommend staying at 510 Federal. From the minute you walk in the door you are embraced by the tastefully decorated living room. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed getting together in the cave and listening to music and catching up with our traveling companions. The user guide was very helpful and informative with easy to follow instructions and suggestions for dining and exploring the town. Only being a few minutes from downtown town was great. And such a very relaxing quiet area. I was surprised by the size of the rooms for being an older historic home.

Ideally situated for exploring, and a great place to hang out in between activities. Extra dog-friendly, and accessible for senior dogs. Our 15 year old Lab, who can be anxious in new places, was very comfortable and enjoyed his walks into town (especially all the attention he received at Poopsie's). Kitchen is well-equipped, and the beds were way more comfortable than most places we've stayed. My daughter also really loved the record player and album selection.

Location to downtown is excellent. The road is in construction so it is a bit rough and it is also very narrow. The house has a driveway, so not an issue for us. The house has a ton of character and it was neat to stay in such a historic district! The steps to the upstairs where all the bedrooms are, are quite steep. My one issue was the keypad!!! We walked everywhere and to leave and try to lock the door, nothing short of frustrating. 5 women and 20 mins to lock a door. The deadbolt will only latch if you have it in the EXACT spot it needs to be. Otherwise, there was really nothing we felt was lacking. The house is well equipped. Thank you for sharing your home!

We stayed for my husband's 50th for the weekend and the property was perfect, from relaxing in the living room to chilling out in the disco cave. Perfect base for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city.

We had a wonderful time on our trip. There is so much to do and see in Galena. This house is perfectly located for walking everywhere. We enjoyed taking in the scenery and all the yummy food. We even got some Christmas shopping done. It is an older home as are most the homes in galena and we like the character and charm of older homes. It was nice not to have to park on the street. There were some dust bunnies and spiders, but overall was clean and had nice furniture. The tub and sink could use some caulking, but otherwise had no other complaints. I would stay here again.

When we first entered the home there was a very strong musty smell. After turning the air on and getting air through the house it did get better. Overall stay was great! They had everything you needed there and some. Walking distance to downtown.

We really enjoyed getting together in the cave and listening to music and catching up with our traveling companions. The user guide was very helpful and informative with easy to follow instructions and suggestions for dining and exploring the town. Only being a few minutes from downtown town was great. And such a very relaxing quiet area. I was surprised by the size of the rooms for being an older historic home.

Ideally situated for exploring, and a great place to hang out in between activities. Extra dog-friendly, and accessible for senior dogs. Our 15 year old Lab, who can be anxious in new places, was very comfortable and enjoyed his walks into town (especially all the attention he received at Poopsie's). Kitchen is well-equipped, and the beds were way more comfortable than most places we've stayed. My daughter also really loved the record player and album selection.

House has everything you need & perfect for dog as well - themed around dogs & has everything your dog would need to enjoy the place. The internet is not good in this area ( no fault of owner) just overall bad in Galena area. Very nice home.

If you are looking for a place to stay that represents Galena, this is the perfect home for you! Kind, attentive hosts have made it so that you will not want for anything. Unique decor, plenty of space and thoughtfully furnished, they have given great attention to making sure your stay is cozy and comfortable! It is in the perfect location, in a quiet neighborhood but very close to downtown shopping. Plenty of space to park. One of our favorite rentals so far! We really enjoyed the home and hope to stay again!

I would definitely recommend staying at 510 Federal. From the minute you walk in the door you are embraced by the tastefully decorated living room. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. We really enjoyed getting together in the cave and listening to music and catching up with our traveling companions. The user guide was very helpful and informative with easy to follow instructions and suggestions for dining and exploring the town. Only being a few minutes from downtown town was great. And such a very relaxing quiet area. I was surprised by the size of the rooms for being an older historic home.

What a great place! It is close to downtown, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, the furniture was in good condition, and the air conditioning was awesome even in the extreme heat we had. Nice job remodeling and updating an old home!

Property was very clean, comfortable and accommodating. The check-in was very easy and accessible to downtown shopping and restaurants. It is about 15 minute walk, but due to uneven pavement/sidewalks it took us longer just to be safe. We will be back!

Location to downtown is excellent. The road is in construction so it is a bit rough and it is also very narrow. The house has a driveway, so not an issue for us. The house has a ton of character and it was neat to stay in such a historic district! The steps to the upstairs where all the bedrooms are, are quite steep. My one issue was the keypad!!! We walked everywhere and to leave and try to lock the door, nothing short of frustrating. 5 women and 20 mins to lock a door. The deadbolt will only latch if you have it in the EXACT spot it needs to be. Otherwise, there was really nothing we felt was lacking. The house is well equipped. Thank you for sharing your home!

Overall the stay met our expectations. The house was nice and quaint and as described. The kitchen area was great for a group hangout. The location was convient and close to downtown with parking. The walk was about 10 minutes to Main street and shops/parks/food/etc. Cute town and the Halloween parade was fun to see.

When we first entered the home there was a very strong musty smell. After turning the air on and getting air through the house it did get better. Overall stay was great! They had everything you needed there and some. Walking distance to downtown.

We absolutely loved staying in this adorable, cozy home!! It oozes character in every room and it had everything we needed for our stay. There even was a “make up” towel for the ladies to use, which I thought was a special touch. We had a blast in the “disco cave” and danced all night in it. The location is perfect because it’s just a few blocks away from the down town shopping and restaurants. It’s wonderful to be able to just park the car and walk everywhere.If I could give 6 stars I would! Highly recommend

The house had lots of charm of an older home with benefits of updated kitchen. The stairs were a little tricky for handling luggage to the upstairs bedrooms. Thankful that there were good handrails.
