Great location. Generous room. Fantastic breakfast. Welcoming staff.
It’s an old Galena home, so be prepared for step, both in the home and to Main St.

What a beautiful place nestled right downtown behind Main St. Parking is a little tricky if you have a big vehicle like a my truck but it is manageable and convenient. The owner Kate is a sweetheart as is Leanne who cooks the most amazing breakfasts! Wonderfully quiet at night. Real church bells on the hour! Just a wonderful place all around.
There wasn’t a thing not to like. i don’t give full too of the line marks often but this place was incredible. Had ever I dotted and T crossed.

Breakfast was great, organic and healthy, fresh and delicious. Just like we like to eat at home We were offered a breakfast menu a night before, it was served at exact time, chosen by us. We also had an option to in in our suit or in a dining room.
We couldn’t imagine, what could have been better. The owner Kate contact us before our visit, and stated n touch with us through the visit, it was very helpful and added this feeling to be taken care of during vacation. LeeAnn met us at the property, helped us to accommodate there right away, cooked and served a great breakfast, her coffee is the best.

Owner is the most genteel and gifted decorator, her attention to detail, high end high class, like coming home to an idealized place: worth more than money can buy, huge room, perfect furniture/paintings/colors/linens/ true historic elegance, warm, every consideration made for every need, a miracle, a huge bargain. Will definitely come again, a RARE gem.

Location was perfect-within walking distance of Grant Park, Galena/Grant museum, Grant home, and downtown stores and restaurants. They had off street parking, which was absolutely essential for us!
Host was extremely thoughtful (left chocolates and a bottle of wine in the room) and welcoming-it was clear she enjoys hosting. Breakfast was healthy, varied, and tasty-and delivered to our room when requested!

We loved everything about staying here. The room and bathroom were both spacious and well stocked. The little kitchen had a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, electric kettle, drinkware, dishes and utensils. Kate also makes sure to supply you with coffee and a variety of tea's as well as some microwave popcorn. She also made a wonderful breakfast for us each morning. It's is with walking distance to downtown Galena. We will be revisting The Federal House.
