Me and my husband stayed with their "babymoon" package in Antonio’s Cottage. The hosts were very friendly and the breakfast was absolutely delicious! They were very accommodating and made us feel at home if we needed anything. The couples massage was all booked and handled with the hosts, saving me time and stress for booking on Valentine's week.

Great little spot to getaway for a weekend trip. The breakfast was wonderful and so filling we didn’t eat again until dinner in Galena. Each breakfast was different so it was new and yummy every morning.

Beautiful property, charming rooms and a very knowledgeable innkeeper ready to steer you to local attractions. Breakfast is served family style. To start we had a fruit cup and toast with local jam. This was followed by mouthwatering apple waffles, ham and potato casserole.

This was our first trip to Galena and my fiance and I couldn't be happier with our choice to stay at the Cloran. We booked the Tower Room with a private walk-up tub that did not disappoint. The room was wonderful, and the host Paul was knowledgeable and very helpful. The best part had to be the breakfast. It was a fantastic meal with a beautiful setting. One of the better breakfast experiences we've ever had. We will definitely be visiting again.

Our host Paul lovingly cares for this beautifully restored home. The dining area where we enjoyed a very generous and freshly cooked hot breakfast offers lovely views. Our room was comfortable and very clean. I particularly loved the grounds with a charming sitting area. This B &B is just a short drive from the main drag of galena so it was nice and quiet at night. I would definitely return to stay at Cloran Mansion.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such kind comments. As I frequently say to guests, the B&B is always a work in progress. It means a lot to us for someone to comment that we lovingly care for the home. That is the way we have tried to approach what we have done here, and what we will continue to do. Thank you very much for staying here, and we do hope to be able to host you again!

My fiancée and I choose Cloran Mansion for our wedding venue, and with a 3-week lead time, Paul made it happen! From securing a beautiful wedding cake to arranging my bouquet and boutonniere for my husband to be, it was the best, stress-free wedding experience a bride could ask for. We took advantage of the couples massage, it was perfect for the day before our big event! The daily breakfasts were excellent, but most important was Paul's hospitality. We will definitely be back for another stay.

What a find! Lovely room, great location just north of the downtown area. The owner was very friendly and helpful and made some good suggestions. One word of caution - the breakfasts are very large, with way too much food, but very tasty!

The room we selected was perfect for my husband and I. The furniture and decorating was very well chosen. Beautiful bed and very comfortable. The windows are new and can be easily opened to enjoy the fresh air. Everything you need for a comfy stay, including warm thick robes. Coffee, tea, granola bars and cookies available all day. Prepare yourself for amazing breakfasts. Paul provided it all. DELICIOUS!

Cloran Mansion was a great choice for our getaway time. The innkeepers are lovely and very accommodating. The breakfasts are fabulous and more than adequate for keeping you energized for walking and enjoying Galena. We will definitely stay there in the future. Beautiful old home and the decorating is lovely. The breakfast service was exquisite. We sat in the gazebo (screened in) and enjoyed the evenings reading.
