The Cloran Mansion was the perfect stay for our little babymoon getaway. We stayed in Anne’s room which was just enough space for us two. The room came stocked with water and there’s a community area with a Brita, microwave, ice and coffee machines. The most impressive part of all were the two breakfasts we had. Paul and his team went above and beyond and everything was so delicious! Definitely would stay here again and looking forward to it!

A perfect getaway weekend!!!

We stayed at the cottage (which is right next to the mansion) and we were very pleased. Other than breakfast we did not spend much time in the mansion, but breakfast was wonderful. Paul and his wife were great hosts. I definitely will recommend the Cloran Mansion to my family and friends!

The Cloran was a lovely historic home. Paul was very accommodating and the breakfast was great. This was our first stay at a B&B so we were a little nervous about privacy. After we got settled, enjoyed Galena, and returned to the outdoor fire it was like we were visiting with friends and family. Highly recommend the stay.

The house was very nice and the service, food and cleanliness top notch. The location was farther from downtown Galena than I had hoped, however, and also (through no fault of the owner) the construction across the street and the cornfields in back did not make for a very picturesque location.
