We stayed here for my sister’s bachelorette party and it was perfect! There were 12 of us and there was enough space to all be together and hang out in common area, but also retreat to our own spaces. It was perfect walking distance to the shops and restaurants. If you rent out all 7 rooms, then there are two bathrooms available on the ground floor (you have to go outside to access these rooms). If I ever have a large party like this in Galena,I would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed the home but it was a little tricky as we range in age from 60 to 88. The steps and outside access of two of the rooms was a little tricky for us. Also not having a bathroom on the first floor was inconvenient.

Bunco Weekend!

This property was perfect for our bunco girls weekend away. The 11 ladies in our group were welcomed warmly by innkeepers Pete and David, who helped us with extra tables and chairs and made some delicious coffee. The rooms were perfect and so cute, and even had enough hot water for all of us to shower each morning - amazing! The house and grounds were clean and functional, just a 10 minute walk to downtown Galena, where there are so many cute boutiques, specialty stores, and a wonderful ice cream shop! The hosts and innkeepers were very responsive with questions we had leading up to and during our stay. We could not have asked for a better weekend!
