What a beautiful historic mansion wonderfully maintained and you are treated like a super star! Carol and Katie are great! Outstanding breakfasts- the attention to detail is veee re much appreciated! Decorated so nicely for fall/ Halloween. From the minute you walk in you feel like you have stepped back in time 170 years with the gorgeous antiques surrounding you yet it so warm and inviting. The piano, the library, the billiards room, the wine in the evenings and sweet treats in the evening. We have been coming to Galena for over 30 and this by far the best we have stayed in
