The property was very clean and updated. It was very conveniently located to Main Street, less than 10 minute walk. The hosts are very friendly and outgoing. They thought of any and all amenities that would be needed and had them available to guests. We will certainly stay there again on our next visit to Galena!

Our weekend stay at the Avery was relaxing and enjoyable. The breakfasts were amazingly prepared. This was our first B&B experience and it did not disappoint. The location was perfect for walking into the downtown shopping district. Our room was clean, updated, and very comfortable. We would highly recommend them.

The host was very nice but not in your face at all. Felt very comfortable at this place. Thanks Bob for helping us with our timeline.

Very nice little B&B at just 4 rooms. We stayed in Lynn Marie , one of the larger rooms and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfasts were large portions for us and delicious. Very close to downtown attractions. Only about 5 or 10 minute walk to restaurants and shops. The hosts were informative about the area.

Warm welcome by the owners. Bob was eager to please and worked with room and breakfast preference when applicable. His potatoes, eggs and bacon were scrumptious. He was very helpful in offering suggestions on places to eat and visit. Highly recommend this place when visiting Gelena, IL. P.S. they have a candy bar for all to enjoy.

Beautiful home on a hill as you enter Galena from the east with free street parking by the house. Very comfortable all around (porch, bedding, room). The owner was very informative. Home was very quiet. We never heard people walking around and barely heard anyone talking during the breakfast. Would definitely stay there again.

A beautifully maintained home with comfortable accommodations walking distance from Main St. Galena. Breakfast was excellent and the best touch is the candy bar at the front door. The beds are VERY comfortable and the rooms are gorgeous. My hubby, the coffee addict LOVED that there was coffee available 24/7. The backyard and porch is perfect for a lazy afternoon. We cannot wait to come back and stay again. We dream about having coffee on the back porch. Bob and Cherish are the BEST hostesses.

This property has existed since the 1800s. The rooms are cute and quaint, and they are very clean. There is an outdoor patio and gazebo area so you can enjoy the views of the river and the town of Galena from a peaceful perch. It is a PERFECT location for getting around. Main Street is a block away, so we walked there every day of our trip to shop and eat. The river is also a block away, so you can rent canoes/kayaks, rent bikes, walk the trails along the river, or simply sit and enjoy the views. The host is accommodating and knowledgeable. Ask him anything and he is bound to know the answer. If not, he thrives on new knowledge and is sure to find the answer! There was a sit-down breakfast every morning at 9, and the food was great. When we return to Galena, we will not hesitate to stay at this property again!

Bob and Cherish are phenomenal hosts, think out every detail, are quick with wit and charm, and make sure that each guest feels as welcomed or as left alone as they would like. Myself and my boyfriend love historic homes and prefer to give our dollars locally. Neither of us had ever stayed in a B&B and I was a bit nervous we would have an experience reminiscent of the Cheshire Cat in Gilmore Girls, if anyone else can relate to that reference. The Avery is an immaculate home, dutifully cleaned, well preserved, the beds and bedding are high quality, and the hosts were the gravy to the weekend. We spent much of our time away from the B&B, but the breakfast and socialization we experienced each morning made me wish I had more time to relax in the garden (which is also unbelievably gorgeous). I will be recommending this to my friends!
