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.

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.

Spacious, Historical and Great Location
We spent an amazing weekend at Federal House. The Alice Suite was beautifully furnished and had everything we needed for our stay. The fireplace in the sitting room made it so cozy. Breakfast every morning was made to order with locally sourced ingredients and delicious! Check in was a breeze and Kate was a wonderful host who offered great recommendations on what to see and where to eat Main Street was a shot walk away and we enjoyed shopping and dining locally all throughout our stay. We hiked along the River Trail every day with great views of the hills and river. We would highly recommend Kate’s place for your next stay in lovely Galena.

An old charming B & B in Galena
We stayed at "This Old House" last weekend in Galena! It was so charming but not without it's issues. There was a definite tilt to all of the floors, as I would expect in an old house. The rugs in the bathroom and hall were damp. There was a sign to make sure to keep the shower curtain inside the lip for the shower. Too bad the lip was so shallow. Oops I forgot my slippers, so I had damp socks all weekend. The charm of the large rooms and antique decor in our suite (the size of a small apartment) outweighed the problems that my construction (retired) husband could see; I loved the firm king bed and the outstanding breakfasts by the amazing on site chef!! Order everything!! It's all delicious! My only real issue was the dust, as I am allergic. As soon as we walked in, my nose and head filled up due to an exorbitant amount of dust everywhere and on everything, even the linens and towels. It was tough on me, especially since we were there over a below zero weekend and weren't able to leave due to -20+ wind chills. Even all of the churches were closed. With a thorough cleaning, and some airing out, it would have been a absolutely delightful weekend B & B. I suggest the managers invest in this; it would make a major difference. Thank you to both Kate and Gabby for your wonderful hospitality, which almost made up for the dust issue. Both ladies cared so much about our comfort and happiness. They went above and beyond to make us happy on such a dreary weekend!!

Absolutely perfect1
This very old house was beautiful and had all the modern necessities added to the inside right along side the historical features. It was a perfect place in a great town. Kate and Doug (and their dog Cody!) were awesome. What a privilege to get to know them. This was a much needed vacation for us and the house and town did not disappoint. Absolutely perfect.
