From the moment we walked through the door, we were welcomed literally with open arms.
Our Hostess, Kathleen, was absolutely charming, with a smile that would light up any room!
She and her husband Tom have renovated, and performed wonders on this great old home. It is beautiful. The yard and gardens are lovely. There is a magnificent view from the charming gazebo which is perched on the corner of the property, which has a commanding overlook of downtown Galena. We took naps there!
Then there is "Queenie", a beautiful Collie who is every bit as welcoming as her masters.
Not a dog person, no problem. Queenie knows her place. She has her own part of the house, and is only allowed to socialize with those who are willing.
The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. It is interesting to see the "before" pictures of some of the rooms. Wow, what a change.
Now, for the second "B", in B&B, breakfast.! I have stayed in more than a few B&B's over the years, but have never been treated to such wonderful, and elegantly prepared breakfasts as the ones Kathleen bestowed upon us. Each one looked like a picture ripped right out of Gourmet Magazine. Kathleen is quite the chef.
My friends and I had ridden our scooters to Galena. Kathleen generously offered to take us on a personally guided tour of some of the more interesting and historic sites of Galena, and did so on her scooter. She really went above and beyond on all levels.
Thanks to her, and the friends we visited in Galena, we had a wonderful time, and hope to return soon! Thank you Kathleen & Tom!
