We enjoyed great company, wonderful food and an all around cozy atmosphere. We stayed in the beautiful DePaul room. The bed was extremely comfortable and... More

It can be difficult to choose a B&B in such a historic city. After much research, we decided on Farmers Guest House for a 2 night stay for my parents and my husband and I. I am so thankful that we did! From the moment we arrived, I felt as though I was home for a relaxing visit with family... More

Husband and I took advantage of the 3-day weekend to make our first trip to Galena and stay in a B&B for the first time. Jess and Kathie are great - made us feel right at home. Breakfasts were great - especially the Swedish Pancakes! Loved the location - short walk to all the shops. Lucky enough to stay in... More

The Farmers Guest House is what a B & B experience should be. The hosts...Kathie, Jess, and Charles, are wonderful! They are very informative on the area including great restaurants to go to and places to see. Their home is your home. The holiday decorations were a feast for the eyes, especially the Christmas village. The house itself has a... More

We have stayed at many B&Bs in the Galena area but keep coming back to the Farmers' Guest House. Everything is great-- food, comfortable rooms and a great location. Kathie, Jess and Charles are great hosts and we really appreciate their recommendations for restaurants and things to do. They also have a great movie and music selection! More

We spent 2 nights in the camelot suite 12/26 & 12/27. What a beautiful suite ! Jess and Kathie had the entire house decorated beautifully for the holidays, I cannot imagine how much times that takes, but we truly appreciated the effort ! They were especially accomodating to us, as my husband was not feeling well and they brought up... More

My fiance and I picked the Farmer's Guest House for our post-Christmas getaway. Everything was wonderful from the room we stayed in, to breakfast, to Jess and Kathie's accomodating and warm nature toward us during our stay. We had a great time and will certainly be back in the future! More

Kathie and Jess make this a unique experience in Galena. They are wonderful hosts and make you feel part of their family. They have insightful recommendations on the restaurants and activities in the area. The location is about three blocks from downtown - less than a four minute walk to all the stores - on the main road into town... More

My husband and I have stayed at Farmer's Guest House several times (we would have stayed more if we had the time!), and it is always wonderful. From our first visit, Kathie and Jess made us feel like family. They are amazing people, with such genuine interest in their guests, and staying with them is like staying with the family... More
