We've just returned from spending three nights in Galena, Illinois, at the Farmers' Guest House. This is a charming B&B, run by Susan and Don (and their man-of-many-hats Charles), that makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Each guest room is different, and all are well-furnished and immaculately clean. We stayed in the separate, two-level cottage and... More

Our first stay at this B&B was last October. We loved it so much that we returned last week, bringing two other couples with us so they could experience the wonderful atmosphere at Farmer's Guest House. My soul feels so very relaxed and happy when I step in the door of my home-away-from -home: the Julia suite. And FGH does... More

A one day visit on a Monday and stayed in the Mary room, a cozy room en suite. Enjoyed the conversation at the early evening wine tasting as well as breakfast. It's always interesting to take a step back in time with people who are enthusiastic about the history. A real pleasure.

What a wonderful place to stay in Galena! My husband and I chose Farmers because we could walk to downtown and they have a great middle of the week deal (3 nights for the price of 2 when your stay includes a Tuesday). The atmosphere is what you expect of a B&B, but it is not overly stimulating (as some... More

This B and B has it all ... Cozy, comfortable accommodations, beautiful decor throughout, amazing and delicious breakfasts, and the nicest innkeepers on the face of the earth!

We purchased the "love is in the air" package, featuring two nights and several other wonderful offers from local businesses. Everything exceeded our expectations. This is the quintessential B&B experience -- great rooms with spacious common areas, delicious breakfasts and fun wine time. Susan and Don were wonderful at recommending places, making phone calls and being lively hosts. Did I... More

Thank you for your review! The "Love is in the Air" package has been very popular; this is our first year for it and I think it will be around as a Spring midweek promotion next year as well. Thank you so much for the feedback and we look forward to seeing you again! Don & Susan More

Don and Susan were clearly born to be the owners' of a delightful B & B. The guest house is both well run and well kept. Fortunately the location could not be more convenient to walking to the local attractions. And we needed to walk after enjoying the delicious breakfast each day as well as the nightly wine and cheese!... More
