We arrived to a warm welcome and rich history lesson that was shared with such love for the town of Galena and those that call it home. And speaking of home, from the beginning of our stay through that big green door until the last sweet goodbyes (for now), Aldrich Guest House was a lovely place to call a home away from home.A holiday tree complete with golden accents is nestled into the corner of a Better Homes and Gardens-worthy living room space. Such a wonderful place to take pictures! The area was also home to a gaming cupboard that invited us to make the space our own. Looking forward to a Scrabble rematch during our next visit!A few steps away into the dining room, we found homemade cookies that were baked in-house and were a foreshadowing of the frosty fun yet to come during our winter stay!A subtle aroma of delicious food greeted the senses as we woke up, and we highly recommend enjoying a room-delivered meal at some point during a stay here.Oh, and don't even get me started on my vegan breakfasts! The food was dancing on my tastebuds- an absolute delight! I took my first bite, closed my eyes, and thought, “These guys really know their stuff!”That thought repeated itself continuously throughout the trip as we realized just how much attention to detail was given to every aspect of our getaway. It felt like a gift.We also made new friends during rich and meaningful breakfast conversations in the dining room. A sign near the front door says we come as strangers and leave as friends. So many thanks to Robert and Douglas for creating a space for guests to relax, slow down, and connect.The level of professionalism, kindness, and care given was more than I can share here and far exceeded a five-star review option.Sending love to our friends in Galena!Until we meet again,Gina and Rob Bell

The Aldrich Guest House is simply the best - my partner and I had such an amazing experience here. Robert and Douglas are gracious, thoughtful, friendly, and treat you like family. If you want the full Galena experience and world-class breakfasts to boot, you should stay here!

What a delightful experience! A short overnight away and how refreshing to have every single one of our needs met, practically before we even knew we needed anything! Robert and Douglas were exceptional hosts and true professionals who offered a master class on hospitality. From amazing accommodations to excellent fare to the many brief history lessons from the guys, our stay was delightful and most importantly, memorable.Our thanks to Robert and Douglas for welcoming us into their home. Kindest regards.

You can tell Robert and Douglas genuinely love what they do. The food was amazing and accommodated our dietary needs, the location just east of the river is the perfect distance from downtown, and the house was a charming combination of historic architecture and modern decorating. We will be back!

Wonderful service, exceptional hors d'oeuvres and cocktail hour. Very tidy. Love the five minute walk across the bridge and onto the main strip.

There's a simple reason why Aldrich Guest House is the #13 bed and breakfast in the country: the owners genuinely love what they do and they provide exemplary service to their guests. We were communicated with prior to our visit, told the history of the house upon arrival, happy hour cocktails were provided each evening, and a wonderful plated breakfast was served each morning. Robert and Douglas considerately had plant-based sausage for us vegetarians, and made a special meal for a vegan traveler one morning. We were even given homemade gifts to take home with us!

Adlrich Guest House is the perfect spot to stay in Galena - the house is walking distance to Main Street, but just far enough away from the party to be able to rest and relax. Rooms are cozy and well maintained, and our hosts could not be more hospitable - they've truly thought of everything to make a stay comfortable. Great coffee, delicious desserts, warm welcomes. Highly recommend!

Cannot wait to return! Robert and Douglas were excellent hosts. Their home is well kept, clean, lovely and comfortable. They provided us with restaurant recommendations which did not disappoint. Their breakfast was glorious! I'm actually disappointed that we missed the evening cocktails because I'd imagine they were on point too! Very easy walk to the downtown. We enjoyed it so much.

2nd time guest, 1st time reviewer. Fabulous place. Douglas and Robert think of everything. Gorgeous inn, immaculately clean, luxurious sheets, impeccable service, delicious breakfast and cocktail. Our room had a vintage bathtub, so hard to find these days. Sorry I didn't leave your well-deserved 5 star review earlier, lads! Can't wait to return.

I had a lovely two night stay with Robert and Douglas at their house in Galena. Impeccable service, fantastic location (walking distance to the heart of downtown) and great local recommendations, including some lovely hikes in the nearby area.Being a fellow innkeeper myself, I like to think my standards are quite high and hard to impress, but these two hosts were flawless, I would highly recommend booking for your stay in Galena.

Elegant and comfortable accommodations. Great location for walking to Main Street shops and restaurants. Robert and Douglas are great hosts. Look forward to returning for a longer stay.Walkability: Short and scenic walk to the main street shops and restaurants.Food & drinks: The hosts serve hand crafted cocktails and appetizers around 5:00pm each evening. The breakfast was delicious and artfully plated.

We had a wonderful three-night stay at the Aldrich Guest House in Galena. The location is perfect. It's a quiet neighborhood, but still within walking distance of Main Street. Robert and Douglas are exceptional hosts. They have thought of everything. This was by far our favorite bed and breakfast experience. We look forward to returning in the future.
