I visited the Victorian Mansion alone. At the last minute my European vacation had to be postponed. As a way to still get away I went to the Victorian Mansion for four days. Simply out, I loved it. Charlie and Rita were wonderful: welcoming and warm. The room was beautiful, I stayed in the lovely Jackson room. The tub was... More

We have been stayed at the Victorian Mansion a handful of times over a span of 13 years. It truly has not changed much at all in those 13 years. Now for some people like myself, that is an amazing thing. The ambiance of the B&B is untouchable. You truly feel as if you have stepped back in time 100... More

We stayed in the Grant room which was large,comfortable and quiet. The room had bathrobes and slippers but we were pretty busy each day so we didn't lounge around much. The mansion has been maintained beautifully and the garden is lovely. We particularly enjoyed the information provided by the hosts, Rita and Charlie. They provided a history of the house... More

Our stay at the Victorian Mansion was our first B&B experience, and it was excellent. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Charlie and Rita, we felt comfortable and welcomed to enjoy the mansion as our own. Charlie and Rita were extremely hospitable. They have mastered the ability to be available while allowing guests to feel like they... More

We stayed at the Victorian Mansion and learned from the inkeepers, Charlie and Rita, that the house was a part of Galena history. Galena is an historical town so staying at the mansion contributed to the feel-everything was authentic. And a great porch to sit on, beautiful gardens and not to mention a home cooked breakfast every day. Nice and... More
