If you are looking for a perfectly manicured B&B with standard amenities, look elsewhere! If you want a nature filled, dog friendly, natural setting with a quirky and extremely accommodating host then Tierra Linda is a must if you are in the Galena area. The property is tucked away and isolated from the fast moving world. It's easy to lose... More

I found Tierra Linda on teh internet when looking for a place in Galena that allows dogs(we have a 3 year old yellow lab). Tierra Linda not only allows dogs, but welcomes them! Our host, Armando, greeted us at th front gate with his two Airdales. We took a tour of the property which is absolutley beautiful with trails winding... More

I was desparately needing to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and my work. I recalled Galena and suddenly had an urge to visit again. It's a beautfiul place! The goal was to find a nice, well priced bed and breakfast that was dog friendly. Tierra Linda fit the bill! I enjoyed my stay. The hubbie... More

Galena, Illinois has breathtaking and beautiful countryside. It is a rugged and hilly region created by the receding glaciers from the most recent Ice Age. It is here that Armando Villa was inspired to create the most unique bed and breakfast called Tierra Linda. Tierra Linda is a bed and breakfast that caters to both a dog's and nature lover's... More

Tierra Linda is a rustic farm house containing a wide range of interesting collectables, including a wonderful pot-bellied stove for heating. (We stayed there in early March.) It is located on eleven attractive acres. The rooms are comfortable, but modestly appointed. You will not find an evening mint on your pillow.The owner and operator, Armando Villa, is a Columbian-born, Swiss-raised... More

There are so many wonderful things to say about Tierra Linda that it's hard to know where to start, so I guess I'll start at the beginning! From the moment we arrived, our gracious host, Armando Villa, made sure we were well-taken care of, and Dooley our golden retriever, seemed to forget about us as soon as we let him... More

Tierra Linda is a slice of heaven on earth. It is a wonderful escape - and for the dogs it is 11 acres of free run paradise! Armando should get the award for the best host ever. And he's a GREAT cook! (Love the breakfast!) He even cooks for the dogs! You and your dogs won't want to go home!

If you want to completely relax and hang with significant others, including pets, this is the place! The location is great, about 5 minutes to town. The setting is lovely, especially in the Fall. As usual, we were greeted by Armando and his puppies. It is always a warm welcome, and this being our fifth year at Tierra Linda, it... More

This place is a unique and wonderful experience. Armando takes great care of the dogs. Galena and Armando's property in particular are gorgeous. If you want a vacation with your dogs, this place is a must.

We stayed at Tierra Linda this past weekend for our three year anniversary trip and it was excellent. We took our schnauzer and three month old baby and Armando was so welcoming to all of us. He gave us excellent suggestions of things to do, places to eat, as well as recommendations for our drive home so we could see... More
