Just stayed at the Belle Aire Mansion and found it to be a very pleasant experience. Great breakfasts and an early coffee buffet for those up early. Yummy chocolate chip cookies and other snacks. Friendly innkeepers who welcome you home when you return for the day. Nice.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, my girlfriend and I had the pleasure of spending the night at this wonderful B&B. What an outstanding night. The rooms were extremely romantic. A fireplace and also a jacuzzi were included in two of the rooms. Fortunate for us, we had one of them. Quite a luxurious stay if I might add. If you are looking for a romantic getaway in beautiful town, this is the place to stay. The owners/operaters were extremely down to earth, and made us feel right at home. What a night!

Our 1st time trying a B&B. It exceeded our expectations. The inn keepers were so welcoming I almost forgot we were paying to stay there! We were treated like old friends coming for a visit!

The hosts were very warm and thoughtful of our needs. They enjoy exchanging stories with guests and also shop locally--we met them buying candy!!!

Our hosts were wonderful, they served our breakfast early so we could still eat before we had to leave to get home in time to go to work.

My husband and I stayed at the mansion for our 5 year anniversary. First time at a B & B. What a wonderful experience. Jan and Lorraine made us feel right at home! We recommend the Garden Vue Suite!! We ate in our room one morning and down in the dining room the next. We truly enjoyed visiting with the innkeepers. Such warm people! Highly recommended!!

Belle Aire Mansion and their hosts, surprised us. This was our first B&B experience. Belle Aire is a handsome estate, Victorian/Country decor was lovely. My wife and I had a hard time leaving the dinner table and go play because the food, ambiance and fellowship was so engaging. Our hosts were engaging, friendly and went beyond call of duty in serving us.

Our stay at the Belle Aire Mansion was wonderful. My husband and I brought our daughters to Galena for the first time. What a great experience. The Innkeepers, Lorraine & Jan, made us all feel at home. They were very helpful with recommendations of places to go and giving directions. The Blue room was very comfortable and cozy. The breakfast was delicious and they were very accomodating towards the children's appetites. We look forward to going back again soon!

My husband and I took a five day four night stay in Galena and chose to stay at the Belle Aire Mansion just a few minutes outside of historic Galena. From the moment we walked into Jan and Lorraine's beautiful B&B we felt like we were at home. Both Jan and Lorraine were very friendly and outgoing; and we felt like we were part of the family. We stayed in the Canopy Suite which had a beautiful seating area, private bathroom, whirlpool tub and fireplace - we were shocked at how much space we had to move around. Every day our room was tidied up, our bed remade and a jar of fresh cookies was waiting for us on the dresser. Breakfast each morning was beyond phenomenal - Jan and Lorraine went out of their way to ask us if we wanted anything in particular and even cooked us custom omelets on our last day there. We were the only guests during our stay and every morning Jan and Lorraine kept us company during breakfast. Not only did they give us tips on places to eat and visit, but we also learned a great deal about their family and their time in Galena. My husband and I like to stay at different B&B's for the different experiences - but as long as Jan and Lorraine are the innkeepers the Belle Aire is the B&B we will continue to call home when we travel to Galena. Thanks Jan and Lorraine for everything!!

On previous visits to Galena, we've stayed in town, but this time, we found that the acreage surrounding the Belle Aire provides a very pleasant and peaceful change. Our early morning walk around the property took around fifteen minutes, and was a great way to start the day. We came in from our walk, and Lorraine served our breakfast which provided the quality and quantity that we had hoped for. It was a highlight of our visit. The Inn Keepers are fabulous. Friendly and able to give advice on local attractions, and will let you know what you might expect at the local restaurants. We visited during October and were pleasantly surprised to find numerous hot air balloons being launched as part of a local festival, and we had front row seats, viewing the action from the front porch of the Belle Aire! All in all, a great weekend. We'll be back!

We spent my birthday weekend in the Garden Vue Suite at the Belle Aire Mansion and loved every minute of it. Jan and Lorraine were excellent hosts and great cooks. Delicious cookies in your room!! I highly recommend the Belle Aire Mansion. We will definitely go back.
