Relaxing, Delicious, Exactly what we needed…

Comfy bed, large tub, delicious breakfast, quiet and private, perfect location for walking ~ visited the library, Galena Cellars Vineyard (live music) and a bit of shopping but most of our time was sleeping, reading and talking in the comfort of our suite!

One of the Best

This suite was one of the best we have stayed in during our travels! And Kate was an amazing host! The location gave us access to downtown and was very easy to get in and out of. The amazing breakfasts each morning were outstanding. I would rate this as one of the best get away locations we have experienced.

Great quick getaway in Galena

From start to finish, just a great stay. Kate was very easy to message with any questions we had. Property is exactly as it looks on here and is very charming. Quiet location within walking distance to wonderful Main Street. Amy’s breakfasts were delicious. We highly recommend.

UNIQUE PLACE

We had a very enjoyable stay at the Federal House. Loved the history of the home. It was clean and had everything we could have needed. Amy served a lovely breakfast every morning. We were very close to everything downtown and yet where we were seemed very private.

Fun Place!

We had a wonderful time at this bed and breakfast. The owner, Kate, was very friendly and accommodating to us and our dog Willow. The room was nice and equipped with anything you could think of; a wine opener, bath salts, cups, drinks in the fridge, etc. We LOVED the breakfast each morning from Chef, Amy. Next time we go to Galena, we hope to stay here again!

Charming escape — highly recommend!

This was such a lovely, charming “home away from home”. The suite is beautifully furnished & the fireplace is fantastic. Breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. So impressed with the attention to detail and warm atmosphere. The location is fantastic as well—within walking distance of tons of all downtown Galena has to offer. :)

Perfect Location

Our stay was the perfect getaway! Kate was so helpful in the check in process and with communication throughout the stay. The room was clean and cozy. Only one thing to note: the breakfast was not really as advertised. Although it was very good, it was prepared the night before and placed in our fridge for reheating in the morning. Still delicious homemade food. But unexpected.

Pleasant experience

Excellent location for accessing the main road of shops. Breakfast each morning was delicious, prompt, and served with friendly and attentive care. Checkin was a little tricky as we never got a text with the details and had to call the host at night when we arrived. But she promptly explained how to get in over the phone and we were good! Would recommend this B&B for sure.

Beautiful B & B

This elegant historic mansion is full of gorgeous chandeliers and lovely antiques. My sisters and I loved the suite, especially the sitting area by the fireplace. The bathroom was huge and accommodating for us and the claw foot tub was a great addition. Our breakfasts cooked by Amy were delicious and large portions....more than we could eat! The welcome platter of snacks & fresh cookies was so thoughtful too. We would definitely go back and I've already refereed friends to the Federal House.

Wonderful Experience

My wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary by returning to the Galena area where we had come 25 years earlier. Our experience at this property was amazing. It has all the charms of an old house in a by-gone era. Yet, it has the modern amenities you would expect of a modern rental. The bathroom has been nicely updated, and the overall feel of the place was classic; yet contemporary. Our host Kate was amazing with directions, and she was easy to contact. Our breakfast was absolutely top notch both days. (Delivered right to our room). Kate even left a little gift for our anniversary! We couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended.

Lovely place

Basically a suite with living and dining area so lots of room. Loved having my own fireplace. Would be ideal for two couples to use the downstairs areas as well. Very comfortable bed (although very high!), nice breakfast. Perfect location so close to main street. All in all excellent

Spacious suite in good location.

Nice, roomy suite and walking distance from the main shopping and dining street in Galena. Host was very communicative. Breakfast was homemade and very tasty, but I had to reheat in the microwave in the morning. It was not served in dining room or delivered in the morning per the listing.Would stay again.
