This quaint B&B is the perfect place for a getaway. Attentive hosts, Don and Susan. So close to shopping and all that Galena has to offer. Yummy cookies too. Rooms are cozy. I would love better pillows. Nothing says B & B like nice linens and pillows. The back outdoor patio is wonderful but needs citronella candles to fight bugs... More

My sister and I enjoyed catching up during our visit to Galena and stayed at this cute B&B for two nights. The owners were helpful and friendly and we enjoyed talking to the other guests as well. The bottomless cookie jar and the wine and cheese time were a hit with us. Rooms were very clean and charming too. We... More

We stayed here for two nights in May. It was a very nice B&B and very well maintained. The owners were excellent as they had suggestions of where to go and what to do, they helped us get reservations at some of the best places to eat in town. They also went out of their way to make you feel... More

Susan and Don were so accommodating, welcoming, and friendly. The breakfast food was delicious with ample portions. The rooms were extremely clean and the common areas large and comfortable.

My wife and I stayed here this last week and we have only good things to say about this B & B. The rooms were clean and well decorated, the food was excellent, the wine and cheese time was great, the proprietors were friendly and helpful, and the price was more than reasonable. We watched a movie from their library... More

My fiance Shane and I are getting married at the Farmer's Guest House in June. We spent a few nights there back in March, and we were blown away by the service and atmosphere. We happened to arrive during a transition period; the old owners, Jess and Kathy, were stepping down as the new owners, Sue and Don, moved in.... More

We have stayed at The Farmer's Guest House numerous times and we always leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. It has recently changed hands and the transition seems to be seamless. The garden at the back of the house is serene and beautiful. You cannot go wrong if you stay here. It is a reasonable walk to the downtown area and... More

My husband and I thoroughly ejoyed our two day stay in Galena. The Farmer's Guesthouse was a great find! We enjoyed very comfortable accomodations with the added benefit of the beautiful historical building which has so much character! Lots to look at here! My favorite spot was the back patio areas which were beautiful in the Spring-time weather. We enjoyed... More

We recently spent the weekend in "The Cottage" at the Farmer's Guest House and would highly recommend it. We generally like to try new places each time we visit Galena but no more - we will be going back to this wonderful B & B. New owners Susan and Don were great, as is Charles who transitioned from the previous... More
