The hosts were great. The coffee was waiting for me at 6 am. The breakfast was delicious! I called it biscuits and gravy but it was more like french tost lol we had some great laughs. I will plan another trip here in the future. Downtown Galena is really neat. We checked out some hiking trails and had a blast.

The property was very nice and rooms reasonably priced. The breakfast was good. Cass, the innkeeper was very sweet, friendly and helpful. Her twins are adorable. However, I think that the towels need an upgrade and bathroom essentials should be included even if that means that she raises her prices. Also, some additional lighting is needed on the front of the property to be easier to find. My overall stay was great! Thanks again Cass and family.
