The entire experience exceeded our expectations especially compared to other locations we have stayed. The attention to detail and the commitment to the guests was obvious. The breakfast served on the porch was an excellent experience and the food did not disappoint. The house and the grounds added immensely to the relaxed and comfortable feel.
The pillows were very soft for us, detracting from our comfort. A footrest would also have been appreciated.

This was our first experience at a B&B and it surpassed my expectations. The history of Galena paired with the serenity made for the perfect get away. The breakfast was incredibly delicious! I was also very appreciative of how accommodating the owners were to my gluten allergy for both breakfast and cocktail hour.

The breakfast was great, and we really enjoyed the cocktails we had in the evening. The hosts were very charming. We had a much needed respite from all our challenges!

The breakfasts (we stayed 2 nights) were excellent. The food was well-prepared and tasty as well as topped off with the engaging conversations of our hosts.
We do not have any complaints or suggestions.

Hosts went above and beyond to make us comfortable and due to our late arrival, called several restaurants in advance to see if they were still open so we could quickly find dinner.

Breakfast was great, atmosphere was great.
The heater in our room was a little confusing, cool at first but turned out good
The floors in room 2 were noisy, we felt like we needed to be careful to not disturb others. The next morning we were told that nobody else could hear the noises.

Douglas and Robert are outstanding hosts. They really made us feel like we were staying with good friends. The Aldrich House is tastefully decorated with a serene air (no chintz here!) and is a very short walk into town. They went above and beyond to accommodate our whole-foods plant based diet with delicious breakfasts daily. No wonder these two have so many 5-star reviews!
No complaints at all. Everything was top-notch.

It was homemade and absolutely delicious. The amount of thought and care that goes into the planning was easy to see and taste!

Robert and Douglas are phenomenal hosts. We arrived right at cocktail hour and began with a tour, brief history of the inn and finished with a seasonal, homemade adult beverage. They engage their guests in conversations not only with themselves but with other guests staying at the inn. It is obvious that Robert and Douglas have done their homework and are very active members of the Galena community. They will always have a recommendation for an activity or restaurant to try. Breakfast is made fresh every morning and is not the "we defrosted some boxed waffles" type. The rooms are impeccably kept and comfortable. They are cannabis friendly but if you do not imbibe, like my partner and I, you will never know others are. Robert and Douglas will stay in contact with you from the moment you book until you arrive which is quite refreshing. I received a personal phone call within hours of booking 3 months before our stay inquiring if we had any special plans or needed help planning our stay. Then, I recieved weekly emails as the time of our stay approached with COVID and opening updates. When we arrived there was a beautiful handwritten note welcoming us and congratulating us on our anniversary along with a celebratory bottle of bubbly! I can not say enough about our beautiful experience here. Of course you could book a 70 dollar a night motel but the hospitality of the Aldrich Guest House is worth double and more than what you will pay to stay at this beautiful inn.
