This place is the best of all possibilities, truly just breathtaking. A quick drive from downtown with lots to look at on the way, surrounded by gorgeous untouched nature, and the class & cleanliness of a big city hotel. We spent the day pushing through the swarms of in-town shoppers, so escaping out of the cramped tourist area was a relief. The Pine Hollow Inn is just out of town so as we were pulling into the more rural area of Galena, the sign for the inn showed up on the left. I recognized the house from the pictures and I think we were both amazed by the spotless, tidy house tucked into rugged, wooded ridges on either side. No trash or litter, no ugly cement, no neighbors! Best of all, the place immediately feels like home. Extremely comfortable, solid furniture with a great casual feel. It's perfect!
We can't wait to go back this summer!

This inn is located approximately one mile from the downtown area, but it is definitely rural. The rooms are all reasonably sized, each have private baths and fireplaces. There is a long front porch with chairs and tables. The property is quite large and includes a decent hiking trail where we viewed deer, snakes, and an energetic (but friendly) neighbor dog. The place was pretty quiet the weekend we stayed and breakfasts were quite good. The inn's caretaker was friendly and had some good ideas on what to see around the area.

This wasn't a typical bed and breakfast in that the only common area was the dining room. The owner was friendly enough, but not real engaged. He did not spend much time at the inn. The inn was excrutiatingly hot on one night, but I was able to locate the thermostat in the dining room (in the middle of the night) and bring the temperature down to non-incubator levels. The dining room did not have enough chairs for all the guests to eat at the same time. Fortunately, it didn't become an issue.

Overall, the inn was very pleasant, but a bit over-priced compared to its value.

Looking to get away from it all yet have access to a fun little town like Galena? Look no more, just call The Pine Hollow Inn. The grounds are private, full of tall trees and birds of all kinds, the innkeeper is warm and friendly, and the food -- A+ yummy! Take a walk, read a book, or swing in the hammuck by the stream...this place is a gem!

The Pine Hollow Inn B & B is fabulous. Just a beautiful area. We enjoyed the fireplace and whirlpool tub. Evenings spent on the wrap around porch watching many deer, wild turkeys and several species of birds in the woods. Breakfasts were great. We stayed during the week and even the continental breakfast is like a full breakfast. We highly recommend it- best place by far in Galena!
