Our stay at the Felt Manor was nothing short of fabulous! The high tea was PHENOMENAL! You could almost make a full meal out of what was served. The breakfasts were devine! (Sandy's coffee cake was to DIE for) The house was peaceful and tastefully decorated with antiques but was not stuffy and overly formal. You were made to feel at home immediately. I had to fight with myself to keep from going back to the kitchen to help Laura with the dishes =)
If you are going to walk to town, bring comfortable shoes and be prepared for alot of hills, but, to be frank, if you don't like hills, don't go to Galena. EVERYTHING is on a hill.
Just as a side note... the grounds do have some issues as noted before. Laura is on a waiting list with a contractor to have the items repaired, but it DOES NOT, and I cannot stress this enough, reflect on the peace and traquility you will find on your stay. Laura is outgoing, open and friendly and it shows in the comfort you feel in her home. By the time you leave, you feel like you are leaving a friend's home instead of a guest house. Highly highly recommended
