It's very quaint and comfortable and I liked the family-style breakfast in the morning as all of the guests were able to talk to each other. The host was also nice as well and I enjoyed the various activities (such as the morning coffee and evening wine cheese tea) and things to do.

our stay was amazing. clean old home emaculent furnishing. I think we were the last to make our reservations, because the B&B was full for the 3 days that we stayed. I did not see any other rooms available when I booked. we had a smaller room with a queen size bed, but very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent was able to meet new people and was very entertaining. all of them were repeat guests and some even knew each other from previous visits. This was our first time going to Galena I am going to make sure it is not my last. over all one of the best mini vacations we have ever had. By the way Galina was #1 also did not have a bad meal in 3 days that we stayed, full of things to do and see.

MOLD ISSUES!
CAUTION! Don't stay here if you are sensitive to mold!!! Or have allergies or asthma. On our recent stay we encountered horrible air quality conditions. We had a two night stay planned and left a night early, opting to stay at another local hotel. When we brought this manager's attention they did nothing to make improvements (switching rooms/ airing out the room), or a refund. We attempted to communicate all of this with the owner and have yet to receive a response(and it's been a few weeks) On a positive note, the cookies they put out were fantastic!
