The night sky
The Milky Way is faint overhead on the clearest nights; the brighter stars and constellations are easy.

First visit to Gelena, it was the perfect place to stay.
Location was perfect. Made it easy to get around a town we never been to. Room was quiet and peaceful. Bathroom was awesome. Seating around the place was nice.
Great B&B including delightful cocktail hour and gourmet breakfast
Nice property, very comfortable. The proprietor was exceptional. Very friendly and welcoming. The afternoon cocktail and appetizers hour was a wonderful touch. It was indeed a great way to meet other vacationers and was relaxing. The cheese plates were exceptionally good. In addition to gushing over cocktail hour, breakfasts were the best we have ever enjoyed. Three or four courses, all creative and delicious. My wife’s ingredient request was cheerfully accommodated. I very highly recommend this delightful B&B!
Really nice stay!
Everything! The host is super nice, accommodation looks great and the location is quiet but super close to the main road.
The bed and pillows could have been more comfortable
Stady was excellent. We will consider this place again when visiting Galena in the future.
The breakfast was excellent.
We enjoyed our stay very much. Our only complaint was a squeaky bed spring that kept us awake.
Wonderful location, beautifully maintained property.
