We have been stayed at the Victorian Mansion a handful of times over a span of 13 years. It truly has not changed much at all in those 13 years. Now for some people like myself, that is an amazing thing. The ambiance of the B&B is untouchable. You truly feel as if you have stepped back in time 100... More

We stayed in the Grant room which was large,comfortable and quiet. The room had bathrobes and slippers but we were pretty busy each day so we didn't lounge around much. The mansion has been maintained beautifully and the garden is lovely. We particularly enjoyed the information provided by the hosts, Rita and Charlie. They provided a history of the house... More

Our stay at the Victorian Mansion was our first B&B experience, and it was excellent. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by Charlie and Rita, we felt comfortable and welcomed to enjoy the mansion as our own. Charlie and Rita were extremely hospitable. They have mastered the ability to be available while allowing guests to feel like they... More

We stayed at the Victorian Mansion and learned from the inkeepers, Charlie and Rita, that the house was a part of Galena history. Galena is an historical town so staying at the mansion contributed to the feel-everything was authentic. And a great porch to sit on, beautiful gardens and not to mention a home cooked breakfast every day. Nice and... More

My two daughters and I spent a weekend here. The breakfasts were delicious with excellent presentation...we felt like queens being served royally! There were two porches, one in front and one in back on the second floor. We enjoyed these for relaxing with a glass of wine and also to play cards. It was very accessible to the shopping and...

We stayed at the Victorian Mansion for 2 nights in the Julia room. We were met by Rita on arrival and given a quick tour before going to our room which was exactly like the photographs on the B&B website. We were advised that the other guests had voted to have breakfast at 8.30am - as we wanted a restful... More

This was our second stay at the mansion. That in it's self should say everything. Both times have been close to perfect. Location, rooms, breakfast and the innkeepers are wonderful. At breakfast we all sat at the table for over two hours with the other guests and the innkeepers and it felt like we were with old friends. It was... More

The Victorian Mansion is a special place both for its historical background as well as the Inn Keepers who treat this landmark like their own and their guests like family. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. We were greeted in the evening and shown our beautiful room which was clean and elegant. In the mornings we would... More
