Four friends made a 2 day visit to Galena and picked Farmer's B&B through their website. What a very fortunate move on our part! Susan and Don are the best! Our room was wonderful, just next to the dining room. Susan was so helpful with suggestions, directions & dinner reservations. And of course the breakfasts were delicious and very heartyl!... More

We've just returned from spending three nights in Galena, Illinois, at the Farmers' Guest House. This is a charming B&B, run by Susan and Don (and their man-of-many-hats Charles), that makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Each guest room is different, and all are well-furnished and immaculately clean. We stayed in the separate, two-level cottage and... More

Our first stay at this B&B was last October. We loved it so much that we returned last week, bringing two other couples with us so they could experience the wonderful atmosphere at Farmer's Guest House. My soul feels so very relaxed and happy when I step in the door of my home-away-from -home: the Julia suite. And FGH does... More

A one day visit on a Monday and stayed in the Mary room, a cozy room en suite. Enjoyed the conversation at the early evening wine tasting as well as breakfast. It's always interesting to take a step back in time with people who are enthusiastic about the history. A real pleasure.

What a wonderful place to stay in Galena! My husband and I chose Farmers because we could walk to downtown and they have a great middle of the week deal (3 nights for the price of 2 when your stay includes a Tuesday). The atmosphere is what you expect of a B&B, but it is not overly stimulating (as some... More

We purchased the "love is in the air" package, featuring two nights and several other wonderful offers from local businesses. Everything exceeded our expectations. This is the quintessential B&B experience -- great rooms with spacious common areas, delicious breakfasts and fun wine time. Susan and Don were wonderful at recommending places, making phone calls and being lively hosts. Did I... More
