As it was our first trip to galena, my girlfriend and I were didn't know what to expect with the other mixed reviews. Wendi was waiting for us as we arrived and gave us a brief tour. We stayed in the Sarah room which was great! The fireplace warms the room perfectly, the room is well kept, and a nice... More

Poised on the edge of downtown Galena, The Annie Wiggins Guest House greets visitors with a wink to the past and a smile. Its purple and white columned facade towers over you as your eye glimpses the hanging wooden sign that, if one is lucky, reads "vacancy" as opposed to "plum full." The proprietress often greets her guests in Civil... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the annie wiggins. Would have probably been a 5 star, however the wall mount tv is ridiculously small, like 12 inches. Relaxing in the tub to watch a movie was great, but she needs to get bigger updated tvs. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay at this well-kept house with an incredible... More

We came into Galena that evening and stopped by the tourist center by the railroad tracks. We started calling down the B&B listings alphabetically and Annie Wiggins was at the top. The room was small but comfortable. The price was a bargain. The one thing I would change would be to set a temperature for the room rather than turn... More

We have just returned from yet another stay at Annie Wiggins Guest House! This is the 4th time we've stayed and we love it more each time! When we arrived, the innkeeper, Wendy, and 2 of her good friends were decorating the House for Christmas and it was so beautiful, cozy and inviting! The tree in the Victorian parlour is... More

Lovely B&B located a short walk away from the downtown business district. The innkeeper, Wendy, was very welcoming and gave us suggestions about things to do in the area when you're all "shopped-out". Nice place to kick back and relax. We'll definetly be back :-)

Over the years we have stayed at a variety of home rentals, B&B's, and hotels during visits to Galena. This was the first stay at Annie Wiggins and I must say, one of the best in the area and walking distance to Main Street. Wendy and her staff are excellent and do whatever it takes to make your stay pleasant.... More

I'm so glad we booked our Getaway early because these beautiful rooms were all booked when we arrived last weekend. We stayed in Hattie's Room. We loved our view of the courtyard and all the "nooks and cranies" were charming to say the least. It was beautiful and the fireplace kept us "toasty" at night. The room was fantastic, quaint,...

My wife and I planned a romantic getaway - our first time to Galena. We stayed at the Annie Wiggins guest home - in the Hattie room. It was lovely and all that we wanted. It was charming and old - yet updated, and we felt right at home! We were met by Wendy (the owner and did not know... More

We stayed in the Sarah room. It was romantic and private. It has a large bathtub, which was not noted on the website, but I thought was extra value for the money. The owners are friendly without being in your face. Breakfast was delicious. My only criticism was the train! Ofcourse, there is nothing to be done due to location,... More

The train goes along the Galena River next to downtown, so all properties within a short walking distance are within the influence of the train. More
