I've been fortunate enough to experience many great restaurants, but the food at the Inn was out of this world. Dinner was a 2 hour experience, with each course better than the previous. The breakfast was just as good as dinner!!! Accomodations were quaint and comfortable. Despite the cold weather, we took advantage of the hiking paths in the morning!

My husband and I stayed in the Station House Cottage which was by far the most romantic place we have been! The room was absolutely gorgeous!! The food was so good, I still think about it! I definately recommend this place if you like to eat!!

My wife and I needed to get away. This adults only getaway destination was beyond belief. The staff makes you feel like family, the food is unbelievable and the quiet countryside and quaint cottage was the perfect setting for getting unplugged from the world and reconnected to each other.

This was our first B&B stay and I don't know if we'll ever top it! Our first impression of the Inn was the "General Store", which was very rustic and country. We weren't sure if we had made the right choice. However, the innkeeper greeted us with the fantastic news that since our price had been misquoted, they were upgrading us to their newest and finest cottage! We had originally planned to stay in the Wells Fargo room upstairs. So off we went to the cottage and we both nearly fell over when we entered the most beautifully appointed suite of rooms we have ever seen (except maybe in a magazine!) The cottage decor was exquisite with layer upon layer of tasteful details and amenities. All the lights were glowing, soft classical music was playing and we thought we were in heaven. We both loved the curtained four-poster bed and all the gorgeous satin and brocade linens. It was beyond comfort! I loved the fireplace, all ready to go with a cord of wood, firestarters and matches. The bathroom was beyond luxurious with waterfall style faucets, a shower "room" with 7 or 8 showerheads, and the jacuzzi tub facing see-through fireplace. The innkeepers have literally thought of everything to make your stay as romantic and luxurious as possible. There were even handmade chocolates in the minifridge. That night we enjoyed the candlelight dinner, which was prepared and served by the innkeeper. We were quite impressed with the sophistication of his skills and the beautiful presentation of each plate in the 7 courses. It was like eating in the most expensive restaurant you can imagine, except it was prepared just for us! The next morning, the gourmet breakfast was just as amazing and the innkeeper was right - we could hardly tear ourselves away from the cottage to check out. If all of the cottages compare to ours, you can't go wrong here!

The French Maid's cottage was a serene and beautiful retreat. The staff was outstanding and the meals were out of this world.

Remote country inn whose peaceful setting would be beautiful at any time of year. Delicious and bountiful food with a wonderful innkeeper (Matthew).

If you are looking for something like the Hyatt, you are looking at the wrong place! This place has MUCH MUCH MUCH better food and service. The staff went out of their way to make sure my girlfriend's birthday was the most memorable and romantic one she has had. Another GREAT feature this bed & breakfast has to offer is it is off the beaten path, so in the evening the only sounds you hear is the blowing of the wind and rustling of the trees. The best feature left me full and awestruck. The food was not only delicious but also presented beautifully! We plan to return annually. This is by far one of the best places we have ever stayed at :)

My mother and I stayed in the "Maid's Cottage" last October. Although an early frost elimated the fall colors, it was a perfect get away. The hospitality was amazing, the food was incredible, the location was peaceful, the accommadations were comfortable. It exceeded our expectations. It is certainly geared towards romance, but mom and I enjoyed it in our own way. Make your reservation early so you can book one of the cottages - you'll be glad you did!

We have stayed many places and this is by far the most romantic, peaceful, relaxing place one could ask for. The service was outstanding, the food was incredible and we can't wait to go back. We booked our next stay the week after we came home.

This was by far one of the nicest experiences my boyfriend and I have had together. We will be returning there as soon as we plan our second get away to Galena! This place is not only very romantic but it also captures a peaceful and relaxing quality of the country that anyone can thoroughly enjoy. It was very comfortable, rejuvinating and an overall spiritually uplifting experience. And the innkeepers were simply the best. They we not only very hospitable, but also very kind, enthusiastic and entertaining. You might even get lucky enough to hear Tony's wonderful singing voice. Amazing! If you are looking to get away from just about anything, I would highly recommend this wonderful inn at the bottom of Irish Hollow.

This was our first visit to Galena and to the Inn at Irish Hollow and I hope not the last. It was peacefull and just totally relaxing. Just what we needed away from the every day hussel and bussel of the city. We loved our stay and the breakfast was just out of this world. I have sent information to my boss who is looking for the same relaxation.

This was our first visit to the Inn at Irish Hollow, but it won't be the last. St. Patrick's Day doesn't offer the best weather, so we did not see the garden in bloom or fall foliage, but the menu had an Irish influence this weekend (Guinness Apple Leek soup, for example) that made it special. We loved our room at the Inn, but next time, we will stay in one of the cottages.

We spent the weekend for the first time at the Inn and were wow'ed at all levels. Come hungry because the truly gourmet food will amaze and delight !! The 3 course breakfasts and the 7 course candlelit dinner were so fantastic -- I couldn't believe I was in the small town of Galena and not a 5 star restaurant. We stayed in the Inn and the large, cozy rooms were romantic and we had a wonderful, relaxing time. The innkeeper's hospitality made us feel warm and comfortable and welcome to come back ! Next time, we will definitely pay the extra to try the remote cabin. This is the best kept secret in the midwest !!
