My wife and I took a long weekend and wanted to visit Galena again. We have taken many trips and our first bed and breakfast experience, in Saugatuak, MI, was a dud. We tried to give it another try for our anniversary and it was SO much better. Mark, Luke, and Elaine were very kind, welcoming, helpful, and completely flipped our expectations of what a bed and breakfast could be. As for the the logistcs, The Farmers Guest House is easily walkable to and from Downtown Galena, the room was comfy and relaxing, and my wife and I both said some of the best food we had was at breakfast (the Pumpkin spice cheesecake for her and the cheesy potatoes for me). We've already talked about coming back and we know where we'll be staying.

Wow… just wow. This was our first bed and breakfast experience within walking distance to downtown Galena. My husband and I took the trip to Galena to celebrate our anniversary. We stayed in the Mary. Luke, Elaine, and Mark are top notch. Everything provided was gluten free for me and was absolutely amazing. They provided cookies, crackers and cheese, wine, and bottles water daily. I have never felt more welcomed and taken care of than at this place. I would recommend this place 100x over and over again. We can’t wait to come back.Rooms: Comfortable and everything you need!

This was our first B & B experience and it did not disappoint. This was a true down home family experience. The rooms were comfy, not large but comfortable. The beds and sheets were extremely cozy and comfortable. But what really made this place special was the breakfast and customer service. Mark gives the inn the warm, cozy family feeling while Luke and Elaine bring a fun energetic vibe. The breakfast was nothing short of amazing, along with the local coffee and baked goods. We will be back!!

My husband and I stayed in the Jennie for our first visit to Galena - our anniversary trip sans kiddos. Just a quick walk to Main Street - the location was perfect. Luke really set us off on the right foot when he called earlier in the week to confirm our visit and explain the check-in procedures - he was just so warm and welcoming. He had "Wine Time" (a bottle of wine, cheese, crackers amd sweets) waiting for us in our room. Really kicked off our stay in the best way. Beds and linens were all super cozy. Our room and the inn were very clean. Breakfast really pushed our stay over the top - hands down the best breakfast I've ever had. I really enjoyed getting to interact with Luke, Elaine and Mark at breakfast. Elaine's enthusiasm for her craft is absolutely contagious. They are some of the warmest, most welcoming hosts. We can't wait to come back!

Had a lovely weekend stay here with my husband in the Julia suite. Elaine, Mark and Luke are wonderful hosts and their kindness and passion for hosting is clear with every interaction. Breakfast was a curated menu with plenty of food and accomodated vegetarian choices. We enjoyed our evening wine and cheese in the private garden space behind the inn. Thank you Elaine, Mark and Luke for a great stay! We will stay here again for any future Galena trips.

Stayed Aug 4-6 in the Charlotte Suite and LOVED IT! Family that runs FGH does a fantastic job. The attention to details is great. We arrived and due to near construction they had saved a parking spot for us.Rooms: Charlotte Suite was right off the dining room on lower level. Soundproofing mad it so that we were never disturbed. Breakfast was 5 steps out our door. Jacuzzi in the room was a great way to relax after long day of wineries and shopping.Nearby activities: Just a couple blocks off one end of the shopping district. We were able to leave the car there and just walk to dinner.Food & drinks: Breakfast was like a multi course chef prepared meal. Beautiful plating. Each course served at just the right time and always the right temperature. All the drink options you could want including mimosas.Whine, cheese and fresh cookies delivered to your room each night. Relax in jacuzzi with that special someone while snacking. What a way to end the day.

I would love to give this place a good rating. I would love to stay there. I would love for them to answer or return one single phone call. I have called there numerous times, last year and as recently as this week. I get a recording that says someone will return my call, they never have. There is also a suggestion to send them an email. I tried it and it came back to me. Their online reservation system is confusing and will not let me reserve more than three dates at a time. I have a question about that, since I wanted to reserve a room for more than three days. I guess I will never be able to stay at this establishment. Obviously, they have enough business and are not interested in new customers. I will not attempt to contact them again. I don't need the aggravation.

I’ve stayed at several locations in Galena and this was by far the best!! Mark, Luke & Elaine are the best hosts and they make sure you have everything you need. We received a bottle of wine each afternoon during wine time, along with crackers, cheese and the best warm chocolate chip cookies, and we loved that we received a choice of items needed each day on a checklist that we could leave on the door. The breakfast each morning was nothing less than superb! They have a large dining room and you receive a hot meal every morning that was more food than my husband and I could eat. Not to mention they offered amazing coffee, juice and/or mimosas. We stayed in Annie’s cottage and it was perfect. Very clean and comfortable! It was a nice secluded cottage behind the guest house. It was also within walking distance to all of the shops and restaurants on Main Street. I’ve already recommended Farmers Guest House to family and friends, and I hope this review helps others. I highly recommend!!

I booked a stay at Farmers Guest house for a girls' weekend. What a great decision. The hosts were friendly, helpful, and efficient, always cheerful. They were so accommodating of my gluten-free needs so easily. They had an option for everything so that I was never left out, and the food was good! Wine time! Yes, a bottle of wine for each room with assorted crackers and cheese to be enjoyed in your room, one of the back garden areas, or the shared living room. Lovely! Location, location, location. Just a short walk to the shops and restaurants. Parking was easily had in a lot across the street. Rooms were comfortably furnished. The AC worked well. Everything was clean and neat. The breakfasts were delicious! Service was quick and efficient. We also booked massages on site. The therapists were professional and provided a good experience. We would stay here again with no hesitation.

This was our 2nd visit to this awesome property. We stayed in Annie's cottage. The last time we stayed was with the previous owner. The current owners are nothing short of amazing...from Mark's astute knowledge, personablility and hospitality to Luke's hard work and hustle to Elaine's amazing culinary ability and enthusiasm, you MUST stay here. Amazing breakfasts, great quarters and great service. You can easily walk to downtown Galena Thank you so much everyone!
