Fun in Galena

Our stay was very pleasant. The place is beautiful and decorated quite well. Our room was very nice. The hosts were great. The only thing I did not like was cleaning coming into my room as we ate breakfast. I had our door locked, because I left my purse in there. We were only staying the one night and they could have waited another hour or so until we checked out. Aside from that it was a wonderful stay.

Wonderful Place for a Short Stay

We stayed in the Nelly room which was perfect for an overnight stay. The room was not very large and the bed a little soft for my preference, but the house had 2 porches overlooking a garden area that were wonderful to sit on. Breakfast was excellent. Would definitely stay there again if visiting Galena, and opt for a larger room.

Beautifully decorated and maintained home. I surprised my grandmother with a trip to Galena and we stayed in the Lizbet room. It was wonderful. Wendy is a great host and the breakfast was to die for. A few other plus points for this home include a close proximity to downtown, it could easily be walked, or took about 60 seconds by car. Also, the Belevedere Mansion is right next door, and we could see it from our window. Super convenient! 10/10 would recommend and would stay again.

Wish we had more time to experience the unique B&B but we were visiting with family. Would definitely go back! The house is stunning with all of the period details. The food was delicious and everyone staying with us extremely nice. There was a period ball on Saturday with reenactors staying at the house, so we were treated to interesting facts and beautiful costumes. I would highly recommend the Annie Wiggins.

Cozy B&B with the kindest of inn keepers!

The inn keepers were wonderful! They were cheerful and happy to be of help. Everything was lovely from cleanliness to breakfast! They kept a quaint garden with a fountain on the property, and two levels of patios from which to sip tea, water or lemonade while enjoying the outdoors. Cookies were ready in the parlor upon arrival. I highly recommend this guest house to anyone looking for a weekend getaway or a different experience than a hotel chain.

A lovely spot in the far northwest of Illinois.

A charming home in historic Galena restored by the owners with much beautiful antique furniture and a fine garden appropriate to this Victorian home. Our room for one night was comfortable and we enjoyed the fine breakfast prepared by the owner. Located just a short walk from the heart of Galena, this B&B is also near President's Grant's home. We found Galena to have considerable charm, interesting shops, and the obvious success by the town to bring out the beauty of the place. Our evening meal at 'Fritz and Frites', a German/French restaurant, was a hit.

Nice bed & breakfast near downtown Galena.

Enjoyed the stories of the past and history of the house and the community of Galena. Nine civil war generals lived in Galena with Gen. U. S. Grant's home as a visit stop while touring the town of 3500 people. Great main street with three parallel streets full of historic houses and stores and wonderful townspeople.

Charming house with an excellent host! The host also serves as the chef and was known in town for her culinary ability. Which I may say, was very good. I believe she made her own syrup for the pancakes, which was different than any syrup I have ever had. She made us feel at home and we really enjoyed our stay. I also liked that she was well versed on the history of not only her house but the Galena area, which she readily shared as I asked her question after question. We will be back if we are in the area again. Which is quite likely because we also found the town of Galena to be absolutely fabulous! The town is rich with history, architecture and welcoming.
