Having stayed with Mike & Lyn at the Brierwreath several times, I can personally attest to their consistently wonderful hospitality. I always come away from their home feeling as if I've just had a cozy visit to Grandma's house. During our stays, we've spent a summer's evening drinking lemonade on their front porch and curled up for a nap in... More

We stayed at the Brierwreath Manor on a lovely fall weekend. Our bedroom was actually a suite, with a bedroom, full bath, and sitting room. This was large for a B & B bedroom. The bed was very comfortable, the breakfasts each morning were delicious. Lyn, the hostess, chatted with her breadfast guests and created a warm and inviting atmosphere.... More

My husband and I stayed at the Brierwreath Manor for our anniversary weekend. The location of this B & B is absolutely perfect! It's only one block away from Galena's wonderful downtown area, but it's quiet and relaxing when you need a break from all the hustle and bustle on Main Street. The hosts, Lyn & Mike were friendly and... More

We called the Brierwreath on short notice; Lyn and Mike were able to accommodate us. The B&B is inviting and interestingly decorated. Our room, the Heirloom Suite, was fun – big bedroom and parlor – long meandering bathroom with claw-foot tub and separate shower – a surprising amount of space for a B&B. Lyn and Mike showed great hospitality and... More

The innkeepers were very accessible and always polite. We stayed in the Mayor's Suite and had plenty of room. The bed was extra comfy and the shower nice and large. The fireplace really warmed up the room. We were able to walk to all the Main Street shops and restaurants, as parking in that area is hard to find or... More

Where to begin... The fireplace isn't real, at least in the Heirloom Suite, but the "crackle and the sparkle" are just two electronic switches away. The "delicious" breakfast was more like a Second World War ration, consisting of only one piece of each item, that is, one sausage and one piece of french toast, but don't fret your watchful hosts...

Lyn and Mike are very gracious hosts. The chocolate chip cookies where to die for! Comfortable beds and a cozy fireplace made our stay wonderful. Breakfast was outstanding and we will be back soon. And will tell all our friends about this place.
