Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Galena

My husband and I stayed for a night while in the area exploring Maquoketa Cave State Park and Crystal Lake Cave. The inn was conveniently located between both attractions. The room was clean and cozy, the kitchen was thoughtfully stocked, and the host was friendly and responsive. The real show stopper is the brewery in the historical barn on the property. It’s gorgeous, the beers are delicious and the staff is friendly! Would make a special trip just to come back to the brewery!

Gehlen House was charming and historical. It was beyond clean, and extremely comfortable. Kari thought of everything and paid attention to detail. She provided amenities for us before we even realized we wanted it The area was comfortable, the shared spaces were large enough to accommodate everyone and it was decorated beautifully. She even put food in the refrigerator and provided breakfast items for us. I hope to return and would highly recommend Kari and Don in the future! Make sure you get to the barn!

We needed a place to get off the road on short notice and we were fortunate to find this beautiful historic place to lay our heads. Kari was friendly and her inn was well appointed. I wish we had time to examine all the historical info and visit the beer barn. We had a peaceful quiet night.

It was clean and cute and quaint. We were able to walk to downtown and leave our car parked.

Excellent place to stay! Vey comfortable large room and bathroom with jetted tub. Best part was breakfast. Best pancakes I’ve ever had. I wouldn’t even call them pancakes, they r something else. Thanks for being such a great host Paul. My wife and I would love to come back and will be recommending your place to friends and family for sure.

We had an amazing stay. it was clean, cozy, and quiet. Paul made us feel right at home immediately and is very kind. The breakfast was great; warm and fresh. Everything included in this b&b plus being able to walk around the amazing town of Galena made it an amazing trip for us and we definitely will be visiting again.

This bed and breakfast is a must-stay! We thoroughly enjoyed the history lesson that accompanied the tour of the home. Renovations that have been done are beautiful, food was excellent, and the hosts were fantastic! The location is in good proximity to downtown attractions but far enough away to relax ans unwind. We will definitely be back!

The property is beautiful. Miriam had great communication with us through the whole experience. She even went the extra mile and went and got some cake and ice cream for my mother to help me celebrate her birthday. Breakfast was great, and Miriam was overall a very kind and accommodating host. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable and so was the shared space. It was wonderful to sit out on the deck and there were a lot of seating options. Very close to restaurants and amenities in town. In fact, within walking distance!

Miriam is such a lovely host. Her property was cozy and well maintained and the views are just amazing. She baked us breakfast every morning, communicated very well and made sure we were comfortable. She also suggested things to do near by and restaurants. We had breakfast together the morning of check out and got to know her even more. Totally recommend one orange center if you are in Dubuque!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Paul was very hospitable and the place was cozy and very accommodating. We felt right at home. Breakfast was absolutely fabulous and we loved the historic feel of the building. If we’re in galena again, we’ll be back.

Great hospitality and quiet, clean rooms and bathrooms. Bed was very comfortable. Beautifully restored property with a rich history and connection to the town. Had a killer breakfast before we left (food was great too). Would recommend 10/10 in Galena if you want a nice and comfortable stay close to town

Our stay at the Aldrich Guest House was absolutely amazing! Both Robert and Douglas were kind and helpful with local recommendations. The room and house were beautiful and very clean, and the breakfast was phenomenal! I would recommend anyone coming to Galena to stay here!
