Our suite was an easy place to relax. Comfortable, nicely decorated, just enough kitchen for our needs. Sitting out on the veranda was pleasant but for the traffic noise from the street below. We’d stay there again.

Wonderful place to stay in Galena!

I stayed at this property the weekend of Independence Day 2025 and couldn't have been happier. The apartment itself was charming and completely stocked with anything you could need, it was secure, and it was also within walking distance of Main Street and the Piggly Wiggly. The best part, though, was breakfast on Sunday morning in the picturesque stone vault in the Artist Annex, where beer used to be brewed in the 1800s. Owners Sandy and Charlie set the table with flowers and lit candles, giving the room a romantic ambiance, and provided both a delicious breakfast and excellent company. Also, as a side note, Charlie is a prolific artist who has created much of the art that can be found on the premises. I highly recommend!

The owner of the property was a delight. He made us omelet's and served them in a historic beer cellar powered by candle light. Everything was special about the place and the people.
