Even though closing the Galvin House wasn't in my plans this soon, I would like to Thank everyone who shopped, gave hugs and supported my business. Everyday is a teaching moment and nothing is forever. I hope our grandkids are learning along the way too. We will have an awesome new neighbor renting the The Galvin House .

Three years ago today we opened the Galvin House as a vacation rental. Knowing we always had a backup plan if it didn't work. The goal was to have a Ag Tourism type setting, a century farmhouse experience along with it being surrounded by the smell of dirt, livestock, the farm equipment, and fields of corn and soybeans. Adding the family history to the house made things even more interesting to guests. We want to say Thank you to all who shared documents with us.
We will be going to our backup plan mid August. We will be closing the vacation rental. Not from lack of interest but challenges with Insurance.
It still will be open for rentals through August 15th. I know there is atleast 2 gift certificates out there but I do not know who received them. If anyone has a gift certificate please reach out to me via Facebook messenger. All bookings will be honored.
All Galvin House history and documents will stay in the house. It will be rented out September 1st to Galvin family.
It was a great experience!!!

My journey with the Galvin House gets better all the time. With the support from the community, family and friends I feel like it is a family treasure (Galvin/Spalti/Galvin/Van Helten treasure)! With many new family photos, documents, personal treasures along with Pleasantville history. It is more than I ever expected. I still have many more items to add but the latest one brings tears to my eyes. My friend Shelly DeForest put together a beautiful shower curtain made with Avery Spaltis feed and seed sacks. It is a perfect addition to the bathroom at the Galvin House. It is exactly what I visualize and more! Thank you Galvin family, Shelly and Everyone who has made this journey real!
