Farmers Guest House - A historic downtown B&B with king suites, daily wine hours, and gourmet breakfast

Located one block from Main Street in downtown Galena's National Historic District, this 3-star Galena hotel continues its original 1867 purpose as a guest lodging. The property features nine individually decorated rooms and suites, with six offering king-size beds and private bathrooms. Each morning begins with a champagne breakfast featuring locally sourced eggs, fresh fruit, and homemade baked goods in the country dining room. Guests can enjoy daily WineTime between 5-6 PM with wine tastings and cheese selections. Room amenities include private bathrooms with Turkish towels, individual thermostats, flat-screen TVs, and Keurig coffee makers, while select suites add whirlpool tubs and gas fireplaces. Three terraced patios and secluded gardens provide outdoor relaxation spaces. The hotel sits within walking distance of Main Street's art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants, with Belvedere Mansion and Grant Park both 0.5 miles away.

Pros

Named 'Best B&B Breakfast in North America' featuring custom mimosas and locally sourced ingredients

Daily complimentary wine and cheese hour with red, white, and sweet wine options

Private garden with three terraced patios offering quiet outdoor spaces

Located in the historic district one block from Main Street shopping and dining

Cons

25 miles from the nearest regional airport

Limited on-site dining options beyond breakfast service

“What stands out most is WineTime, a daily ritual featuring local wines and cheeses. The breakfasts, nationally recognized, are clearly a point of pride. It's an inviting place to experience Galena's historic charm, with its walkable access to downtown.”
