Why would these people go into the b&b business when they obviously do not have the personality for it? They were cold, unwelcoming, made us all feel like they were being put upon by our stay and rushed us out Sunday on the dot. First, the house needs a new coat of paint, the wallpaper needs to be reglued on and the cobwebs need to be cleaned from the corners. Second, the headboard needs to be attached to something so it doesn't bang against the wall with every movement made. Third, the windows need screens and something to hold them open, as it's hot in the rooms and there's no air conditioning. Ceiling fans circulating old air doesn't cut it. Fourth, the promised snacks at 5:00 P.M. consisted of Kool-aid and nothing else, not even animal crackers. Fifth, breakfast smelled like stew and looked like it was made from whatever was left over from their dinner the night before. Sixth, the ramshackled neighbor's house which was our view had party people clinking beer bottles at night and a dog that constantly barked, so there was little peace and quiet. Look somewhere else for a nicer stay.

As the owner I can assure you we have never served a parlor party at 5pm without have a treat of some sort. Treats have varied from cheese and crackers to Starwberry Crepes.We have never served Koolaid. We have served wine, teas, cider and a variety of fruit juices. We have never served stew or leftovers for breakfast. Inn Traveler's Magazine awarded us Best Breakfast in the Midwest for 2006. We have many walls with wall paper and we probably will have a loose seam at some point. Our paint is fine. We were featured in the 39th annual historic home tour for Galena on Sept. of 2006. Each room has it's own room air conditioner. If a head board is loose, why not tell me? - Mike
