Queen Anne Guest House

Great looking restoration of this Victorian B & B. The owners are great and very good at area restaurants and attractions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this bed and breakfast.

My wife and I spent a weekend away from our children and had a wonderful time at the Queen Anne. Mike and Anita were very welcoming and accommodating. The painted lady is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. The location was great as it was close enough to walk to downtown, but far enough away to escape the hustle and bustle. We would definitely stay here again.

The Queen Anne Bed and Breakfast was everything you could want in a B&B, and more. The rooms were exquisite, the food, outstanding, and the owners couldn't have been more hospitable. We are DEFINITELY going back. Loved it!!!

This was the best experience I have had at a B&B. The in keepers were amazing and really made you feel welcome. Would def go back !!!! Great times.

My boyfriend and I had never stayed at a bed and breakfast, and were very delighted with our stay! We felt like we were staying with family, and were so comfortable and welcome with not only the owners, but the other guests. The room was gorgeous and the breakfast was better than any restaurant I had been to. It was such a unique experience, and we had such a great time. I would definitely recommend Queen Anne to anyone vising Galena.

Above average rating for B & Bs is deserved when compared to our prior stays at B & Bs. Stayed only one night. Received helpful information on local and area places to dine, sight see, and get around. Received an appreciated personal history of proprietor that allowed us to establish a relationship worth recalling and enjoying.

Inkeepers were very friendly and the food was great. They can prepare a elegant breakfast fit for a King.

Very hospitable owners. Great breakfast. Very comfortable room.

Spend the weekend with a friend and found the place very hospitable, cozy and felt just like home. Would like to come back and spend more time during spring or fall. The food and service were excellent! I didn't find any dust and the bathroom and everything in there were superb clean. I am usually reluctant to walk barefoot in a hotel or guest house carpet but I was able to do it in here without worrying.

We have made annual trips to Galena for the past 2 years. The Queen Anne B&B was the best overall B&B yet. Mike and Anita were great hosts, historians and entertaining. We will definitely visit them again.

Have stayed several times. Have always enjoyed the beautiful home, gracious hospitality & great food.

We had an ABSOLUTELY wonderful stay at the Queen Anne. The owners are so very friendly and their parlor parties are a great time to talk about the fun things some of the other guests are doing around town. Did I mention how delicious the desert and wine are that they serve at them?! The rooms were a bit smaller than I expected - but definitely adorable and worth the price. Food was fantastic, and they were extremely accommodating with picky eaters (me!). Location was prime - off the main strip which can get very noisy with locals after hours... this was within walking distance and very close to the bridge which takes you right to downtown. As of extra ammenities - they had plenty! Movies to borrow, Kareoke to play, patios to sit and drink in the evening. And the Cat - sweetheart! We'll definitely be heading back to Galena again and will be staying at the Queen Anne!

Stayin at the Queen Anne was a very delightful experience. The breakfast fas out of this world my wife and I cannot wait to go back.

Mike and Anita are wonderful hosts, knowledgable about the area and fantastic chefs. The room was clean, cozy and quiet. The parlor parties were a great way to meet the other guests and we enjoyed wonderful conversation both evenings. We highly recommend this B&B if you plan to stay in Galena. If we're ever in the area again, it will be our first choice.

Perfect setting for our 30th wedding anniversary trip! Great company and delicious breakfast!

The house was decorated in the Victorian style. The couple who runs it were wonderful hosts and we are grateful they welcomed us into their home. They were knowledgeable about the town of Galena, the history of the house, and were world class cooks. The Parlor party and breakfast were the best we've had. We enjoyed the house and our room was a wonderful retreat from our hectic lives. Thank you Mike & Anita for such wonderful hospitality and an amazing weekend getaway.

We stayed at the Queen Anne for our honeymoon. We were absolutely amazed by the whole stay. We can't wait to go back for many more years to come. This place is very affordable, has amazing food and wonderful hosts.

Our stay at the Queen Anne was remarkable. Mike, our host, was gracious and accommodating, not to mention an amazing chef! The breakfast was second to none.

Breakfast food and hospitality of hosts was excellent. I would stay there again.

We had a wonderful stay with delicious breakfast in a true Victorian home. Very welcoming and very comfortable!

Mike and Anita are charming hosts - their Parlor Parties are funl! We enjoyed getting acquainted with the other guests and the treats served were perfect appetizers before we headed out to to dinner. The breakfasts were also great - Mike is a fantastic cook! Our room (Prince George) was clean and pleasant for our stay. Downtown Galena is within easy walking distance - just down the hill and over the pedestrian bridge. No downtown parking issues!

My husband and I went in Oct of 2011 for our 1 year anniversary, we wanted a nice quiet get away, it was just beautiful, the inn keepers were amazing, I look forward to going back very soon

Memorable anniversary My wife and I celebrated our 31st anniversary with a stay at the Queen Ann Guest House in Galena. Mike and Anita welcomed us with open arms into their beautiful home. The little things are sometimes the hardest to do but Mike never failed in making the entire weekend very special. The breakfast each day we were there was superb. The talk around the table was light and each of the four couples opened up about themselves. The reputation and reviews of the Queen Ann left me with high expectations that were exceeded once we arrived. Thank you to both Mike and Anita for making our weekend so special.

Great Galena location (easy walk to downtown) and wonderful hosts.

Very beautiful home with great breakfasts and knowledgeable and warm hosts. The evening parlor parties were a wonderful time to meet other guests and chat with the innkeepers.

So many great things, I don't know where to begin! And let's not forget the cute kitty who lives outside on the property, "Ashes". I wanted to take her home, but no luck. All the guests love her to death! Thanks Mike and Anita for a great time!

My wife and I had an excellent stay at the Queen Anne Guest House and Galena. The house is beautiful and the food was delicious. The house is located within walking distance of the town and Grant Park. Mike and Anita, the owners, are two great hosts who make you feel right at home. We couldn't have picked a better place to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary.

This charming home is within walking distance of most Galena attractions. The breakfast is outstanding. The huevos rancheros we enjoyed Saturday morning kept us full until 3 pm! Their 5 pm snacks in the parlor are also a delight, and provide a nice time to meet other guests and learn more about the house and the surrounding area. We would definitely stay here again.

This is our second time that we have stayed at Queen Anne Guest House and we were not disappointed. Mike and Anita are wonderful host and hostess and make you feel very much at home. The breakfast was outstanding and can't wait to go back again!

Queen Anne is a really nice place close to the downtown section of Galena. Mike and Anita provided a great romantic environment where my wife and I could spend a weekend. I recommend it!

Excellent BnB! Very neat, and clean with great hosts! All set in a great tourist area.

We thought Queen Anne was outstanding, and plan to return there next time we're headed in that direction. Robert Bodeau

Enjoyed much the Queen Ann Guest House. Wonderful hospitality. Very clean. Will likely stay again with Mike & Anita.

Staying at the Queen Anne with Mike and Anita was a memorable pleasure. The beautiful surroundings exceeded our expectations. The extras, particularly the breakfast, were superior.

This was our first experience staying in a bed & breakfast, and we were delighted with the Queen Anne Guest House. The owners, Mike and Anita were absolutely the best hosts - we had excellent breakfasts and very good company. Our room was very nicely furnished, clean, and the bed was very comfortable. The house itself was lovely and very conveniently located to the rest of the town. Mike and Anita were very helpful in providing dining suggestions and things to do in Galena. A very nice stay! Hilarie

We had such a great first visit to Galena. Mike and Anita made it feel like a "home away from home." It was great and we will definitely come back!

It was a truly beautiful home, with spectacular service. The room was amazing and very romantic, just as described. Mike & Anita were fantastic and they did a wonderful job in giving us excellent service and incredibly delicious breakfast. Highly recommended. Can't wait to go back there again soon.

Mike & Anita were very friendly and fun to interact with. They made all the guests feel comfortable and we became family for a couple of days. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious and you had plenty to eat. I would go back there again.

I surprised my wife with this overnight stay for our nineteenth wedding anniversary. We will remember our stay for a long time. Our lives and jobs had been getting more and more stressful and our marriage was taking the hit. Just one night at the Queen Anne got us back on the right track. It was very relaxing to get away from it all. The house was beautiful and fully decorated with antique furnishings. We stayed in the Prince George room and my wife slept for over an hour in the original claw foot tub. It was a great experience. The best part of the stay was the interesting conversations we had with both the innkeepers and the other guests. There was a reception from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. in the parlor with a snack and drinks served. We had very interesting conversations. Breakfast (including the food) was a little formal for my taste, but it was very good. I would have been just as happy with pancakes and sausage. Of course, if you like fine dining for breakfast then you will love this breakfast. Again, the breakfast conversation was the best part.

The host/hostess were very friendly and great hosts. From the greeting on our arrival, to the afternoon "snack and conversation hour" to the wonderful breakfasts that started each day, Mike and Anita made their guests feel welcome and comfortable.

Mike is a gracious host and the Queen Anne was a very pleasant place to stay. The only problem was that the windows are shut with storm windows and one has to sleep with the air conditioning on - which is noisy and one would not expect it at a B7B

My wife and I recently stayed at the Queen Anne for the second time in two years. It is a delightful place that combines the best 19th century charm with modern amenities. The breakfasts are fabulous. The owners (Mike and Anita) and their "employee of the year for 2010", Ashes the cat who lives on their porch, treat you like family. It is clearly a labor of love, not just a business. It feels like home, only better!

This was my first stay at a bed and breakfast.. I know I'll be back.. The room was wonderful, and the food was awesome.. I enjoyed my stay very much and the owners were wonderful..

Great location. Rooms a bit smaller than anticipated. No real property, just the house. Little garden was not cleaned up. Friendly people. While not a bad experience, would most likely try another B&B on next visit, though returning would not be a bad thing.

On the second morning we were served lentils with spinach and eggs. This brave offering was a very pleasant surprise. We were inpressed! Our hosts were very friendly and personable. The house is interesting and historic. We enjoyed our stay and would gladly return if we should ever be in the area again.

very welcoming accomadations and most interesting atmosphere---food was excellent and owners made us feel at home and very special. Added touch of anniversary quotes and other inspirational writings took everything up a notch would highly recommend to anyone visiting Galena This was our 41rst wedding anniversary weekend and we enjoyed the stay and the town very much--even with the snow and nasty weather. Inside the sun was shining.

The owners are very welcoming and thorough showing and explaining all about their absolutely beautiful home. Being honest though, if you're going in the nice weather you can walk across the river, but colder months, I may have picked a closer stay to their main street. While the food was superb, I have to watch my blood sugar and the breakfast was too sugary (but delicious the few bites I enjoyed). They push their cookbook a bit too much, almost began to feel uncomfortable at breakfast. Overall, the stay will be exactly as you'd expect in a nice B & B.

My husband and I enjoyed a weekend get-a-way in Galena. We enjoyed our stay at Queen Anne's - particularly the warmth, hospitality, and great conversation with the innkeepers and other guests. The breakfast with other guests was a fun way to start the day and evening cocktails in the parlor was a perfect way to unwind before an evening meal. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to be back!

This was our first time at a B & B. It was a great experience. Mike & Anita are wonderful hosts. We really appreciated how personable they were with us. They treat you like a best friend. They make every effort to make you feel comfortable, share candid conversation with you, and are very knowledgeable about their town and where things are that one might enjoy.

Our stay at the Queen Anne guest house was amazing. There are so many positives, so I will just list a few: our room, the "Lady Ashley" and its jacuzzi tub were perfect, Mike and Anita the innkeepers are wonderful hosts the walk to downtown Galena is short and the 5 pm cocktail hour is a great addition to any day in this friendly, throwback town. This was the first of many trips we will be spending there.

I truly had such a special stay at Queen Anne Guest House. My fiance planned such a romantic trip to Galena (a place I had never been). The city itself is extremely charming, but pulling up to this Victorian style home, it was a delightful surprise. We were greeted with the cutest neighborhood cat Ashes, then a smiling gentleman Mike! Mike showed us the in's and outs of our room then the rest of the home. He was very helpful and had a warmth about him, that made our stay very comfortable. We stayed in the Lady Ashley suite which was gorgeous, had a hot tub with a fireplace in the bathroom and it was very romantic. Each morning we sat around a table enjoying unique, carefully thought out dishes and each evening we enjoyed a special treat with beverages. It was a great time to bond with the inn keepers and other guests. We weren't from the area so Mike and Anita were especially helpful recommending places to go and restaurants to have dinner. One night the weather was a bit miserable, so my fiance and I took advantage of their extensive movie and game selections. It is strange for me to say fiance, but the weekend we stayed at Queen Anne Guest House, not sure if it was the mood of the Bed and Breakfast, but my boyfriend proposed to me. This place certainly sets a tone and I can honestly say it was the best weekend ever and we will be coming back!

Mike and Anita were most gracious hosts, and the breakfasts were outstanding. Truly a home away from home.

The Queen Anne is such a lovely place to stay. The Victorian home is gorgeous. the hosts are wonderful, the food amazing & the intimate rooms the best. Been there two times and will go back again.

Really enjoyed the 5 PM gathering. Good chance to meet other guests and share ideas about the weekend.

I had never been to a bed and breakfast before. This was a very pleasant experience. The host was very attentive to our needs as well as generally helpful. The breakfast was adequate, my wife was not totally pleased, but I enjoyed it. I look forward to visiting this bed and breakfast again in the late spring.

Stayed after the Holidays. Rooms very clean and the stay was pleasant and relaxing. A great value. Highly recommend!

The house is lovely, the innkeepers are very friendly and the breakfasts far exceed usual B&B fare. We plan to return in the near future.

It was our first time in a B&B and we had a great time, very relaxing and beautiful place to stay.

My boyfriend and I chose this inn to celebrate our one year dating anniversay, which was the first of September. Our stay was December 10th. We had to wait to until then because the inn was booked solid. I must say we are both very glad we waited. The owners of this property are fantastic. We felt like family from the time we entered the house until the time we left. The food that was prepared by the owners was amazing, five star!! Our room in my opinion was the best room in the house (Lady Ashley), check out the photos and you can see it. We couldn't have asked for more!

The whole house was lovely! The hosts were wonderful, and the food was excellent!

My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay at the Queen Anne Guest House very much! I would highly recommend this B&B for anyone looking for a great value and exceptional accommodations.

Mike & Anita are wonderful hosts, the food was terrific, walk town, lovely home!

This is a very warm and caring home to stay in. The owners treat you like family and make you feel very welcome. Beautiful home. I felt like I had gone back in time.

The rooms are cozy, the food is great, the hospitality is outstanding, and it was an easy walk to downtown Galena!

The Queen Anne is a lovely inn. The owners were very welcoming & created a warm, comfortable environment. The fod was delicious & plentiful. A+

My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend getaway at the Queen Anne Guest House. We stayed in the Queen Anne room, and it was beautiful. Nice-sized bathroom, comfy bed, and fireplace. Very relaxing. Mike and Anita were lovely hosts and excellent cooks. The Parlor Party in the evening was fun, too. We would not hesitate to return.

What a great place to stay. Easy access to town and near the park but far enough away from traffic & noise. The little amenities, like the 5pm parlor get together & the tea cart at night & the AM are a real nice touch. The knowledge of the building & area that the owners have is really nice to listen to. Would highly recommend staying here.

Very charming home, hosts Mike and Anita were very knowledgable about the area and very hospitable. Quiet and luxurious rooms help you to relax and unwind, and Mike's fantastic breakfasts and parlor parties made you feel as though you were at a friend's home. Their personal touches made the experience extraordinary, highly recommended for a special occasion or relaxing getaway!

We enjoyed our stay at the Queen Anne. The food and innkeepers were amazing. Our only issue was that the windows in the room did not open, so we had to continuously run the window unit air conditioning, and the mattress was a little softer than we would have liked. Other than that, just perfect.

We only stayed for one night but it was very nice. Mike and Anita are very welcoming and polite. Breakfast was delicious as well :)

This was an ok place to stay. I think I was charged more than what I should have been for the day of the week that I stayed. Online stated Sun rate was cheaper but I was charged for the other day rates. No shower in our room only the jacuzzi tub.

Our stay at the Queen Anne was beyond our expectations. Mike and Anita really know how to make their guests feel at home at the Queen Anne. We will be back for sure.

The innkeepers of the Queen Anne run a great establishment! The breakfast is wonderful and the service is great. We had a nice and relaxing time and enjoyed the breakfast and parlor party company quite a bit. If you need a trip to recharge your batteries the Queen Anne is the way to go!

Mike and Anita maintain this outstanding Victorian painted lady. This was our first B&B experience and they set the bar extremely high. There are many in this area, but my wife and I don't even care to try another after our visit. As one can tell from the pictures, the house is beautiful; amazing breakfasts; and the 'palor party' in the afternoon was a great way to meet with other guests. Mike and Anita are the sweetest people you could hope to meet--we shared many laughs and stories together. It was like visiting distant relatives. All this said, the town of Galena is spectacular in itself. There are tons of things to do here for every sort of person. We recommend the Queen Anne Guest House to anyone who appreciates history, Victorian elegance, and warm generous hosts. We will be comming back soon.

Mike and Anita made our stay even more special by treating us like family. Had a WONDERFUL time.

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon. This was our first B&B experience. We had a fabulous time and I am sure that this B&B would make the others a disappointment. MIke and Anita were very polite. The parlor parties were a great oppurtunity to learn about the home and the area. The food was AMAZING as well as the coffee. Everything was so cozy and beautiful. We can't wait to come back again.

Everything was excellent. The food was great. The innkeepers were as nice as could be. Overall, an outstanding experience. We would gladly do it again.

My wife and I enjoyed our relaxing stay at Queen Anne Guest House. The evening wine and pie was a great treat, breakfast was just out of this world, and spending time talking with the owners was a blessing. Oh, purchase their cookbook since it contains great recipe ideas.

Our stay at the Queen Anne in Galena was perfect. The friendly greeting, the fabulous location, the extremely comfortable accommodations, whirlpool tub and fireplace, flatscreen TV and wireless internet, the delectable breakfast all made for an unforgettable getaway!

We were greeted at the door by our host and personally walked through the house, breakfast time, etc. A pitcher of fresh ice water was brought in for us. A tray of hot drinks in the hallway at night and in the morning were supplied for guests as well. Parlor party at 5:00 was a great opportunity to meet the other guests and talk with Mike and Anita, as well as get great information on Galena. The bed was the most comfortable we've slept in and the breakfast was higher than outstanding! The hosts joined us for wonderful conversation and the stories were wonderful. Ask Mike about the animal slippers! We cannot wait to go back. Ed & Debra...

Our visit to Galena for our anniversary included our first ever stay at a bed and breakfast. The Queen Anne Guest House has set the bar extremely high with their superb service and wonderful accommodations.

A claw foot tub, lace curtains, leisurely breakfast with gracious hosts and interesting guests gave the illusion of another place and time. Lovely place to stay.

We spent our 25th wedding anniversary at the Queen Ann Guest House. It was the first time we had stayed at a bed-and-breakfast, and it was a wonderful experience. The home and our room were beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, and our hosts were wonderful. The Queen Ann is within walking distance of downtown Galena, but far enough away to provide us with peace and quiet when we wanted to relax. We enjoyed our stay and will certainly consider the Queen Ann the next time we visit Galena.

Miek and Anita were a very nice couple. They were very knowledgable about the area and provided tips of good places to go and things to do.

We had a great time in Galena and felt The Queen Anne our home away from home. Anita and Mike were so friendly and we wish we had booked more than one night. We were able to walk to downtown and loved the walk around the safe and charming neighborhood. The breakfast was fabulous and the tea cart outside our door in the morning was an extra plus. We had fresh coffee or tea before our day began. We will be back.

The Victorian mansion and interior Victorian furniture and decor made us very comfortable. The home was ours to enjoy, including parlor and library. The food was amazing. Mike was very enjoyable to talk to.

A warm and lovely B&B with wonderful hosts, fabulous breakfasts, beautiful rooms, convenient location.

My husband took me here for our first anniversary, it was our first stay with Mike and Anita, however it will not be our last. The home is beautiful, Mike and Anita are terrific, the food is excellent, and Galena is beautiful. We cannot say enough. If you are looking to stay in a Bed & Breakfast, we highly recommend the Queen Anne!!!!!

My wife and I had a perfect 1st anniversary celebration staying at the Queen Anne Guest House. Mike & Anita's welcoming hospitality and great conversations were complimentary to the exquisite Victorian house that's within walking distance of Main Street shopping (or a 5 minute drive). We really enjoyed the 5pm parlor parties that enabled us to mingle with the other guests and learn about the large historical background Galena had to offer, all courtesy of Mike's strong knowledge and excellent story-telling. Not to be forgotten, the awards Mike has won on his gourmet food are well-deserved! The homeade breakfasts and parlor party snacks with wine were absolutely delicious! It's a home away from home, and we will definitely be back to stay with them.

Mike greeted us at the door and helped carry our backout too. His parlor party snacks and multi-course breakfast were delicious! With advance notice he was happy to meet my dietary restrictions. The house is very convenient to main street and Mike was willing to provide guidance on attractions and dining options. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend the Queen Anne Guest House to my friends.

My daughter & I stayed at the Queen Anne Guest House for our first mother-daughter get-away, which was also my first stay at a B & B. Anita and Mike were wonderful hosts and we felt completely comfortable in their beautiful Victorian home. The evening "parlor party" was a great time for the guests to meet each other and visit in a relaxed environment. The appetizers served during the parlor parties were delicious - including Mike's award-winning chili made with Galena-brewed beer! The breakfasts were beautifully presented and amazingly delicious! This couple is truly devoted to providing a memorable stay at their beautiful Queen Anne Guest House! I definitely will return to this home, and next time, I'm bringing my husband so he can enjoy the experience!

This place is what should be expected from a bed and breakfast. I have never had breakfast so great, and the owners were wonderful. I would go again.

We had a wonderful time on our first girls getaway, and we will definitely come back again. The hospitality was warm and inviting, and the food was unbelievable! The parlor parties were great times to socialize. The rooms were comfy, and had amazing decor that was absolutely beautiful. We had a great experience that we will never forget :-)

It was our first time staying in a bed and breakfast. We were pleasantly surprised with our experience. Mike and Anita made us feel like we were friends coming for a visit. Meeting other people was a nice bonus. The food was exceptional. I would highly recommend staying at the Queen Anne.

Lovely romantic Victorian setting; comfortable accomodations; easy access to area attractions; delightful host and hostess; and breakfast fit for kings and queens!

The owners, Mike and Anita, are very hospitable, courteous, and friendly. The rooms are quite comfortable. The breakfasts are delicious. The parlor “parties” at 5:00 are a fun way to meet the owners and other guests, as well as get information about the area. The B&B is located well- near Grant’s home and in comfortable walking distance to downtown Galena. Would stay here again and recommend it to others.

Kind and friendly,great breakfast, and great conversation with the owner.

We were passing through Galena and stayed at the Queen Anne Guest house and were very satisfied with the rooms and the service. We didn't get to meet Anita, but Mike was a charming, entertaining host and the breakfast and conversation exceeded our expectaions. Would absolutely stay there again!

My husband and I stayed at the Queen Anne in mid-Feb and have nothing but compliments for this B&B. This stay was our first B&B experience and Mike and Anita were fantastic host. From their local knowledge to there warm conversations and there outstanding food, this experience was truly unforgetable. With you are 28 or 58, this B&B is First Class! Can't wait to visit again!

A beautiful B&B, so clean and warm. Anita and Mike are so accomodating adn make the best party snacks and breakfast. Be sure to pick up a copy of their cookbook.

This was our 2nd bed and breakfast stay in Galena. Nice experience, the innkeepers are very accommodating. Bathrooms are nice. Enjoyed the large dining room with nice furniture.

Great breakfast & conversations. Mike and Anita were helpful when we needed recommendations. Only a few blocks walk to downtown - comfy beds!

Our children got us a Christmas present of a 2 night stay at the Queen Anne Guest House in Galena. The home was just beautiful. The owners were just fantastic. I definitely was treated like a Queen.

My husband and I had such a great appetizer with our host, as well as a lovely breakfast with both owners on Christmas Eve morning (my birthday). We had such nice extended conversations.

We enjoyed our stay at this old, historic, victorian mansion. The host and hostess were very friendly and accomadating. The morning breakfasts were excellent (and unique). We would recommend this inn to anyone.

I came with my sister for a girl's birthday weekend celebration. I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about our stay at the Queen Anne! From the second we checked in, Mike immediately made us feel welcome, and there were many thoughtful touches throughout our stay. We loved the parlor party-we enjoyed our conversation with Mike so much- who is a gracious, interesting host- that the party "hour" turned into closer to 2 hours! (We loved his stories of local history.) The home is exquisitely appointed. The rooms are extremely inviting, and this is the first time I have stayed in a "hotel" bed where I woke up the next day and my cantankerous back felt better than it did sleeping in my own bed! The clawfoot bathtub was beautiful, and the room felt very private! (Plus, the added modern touch of satellite tv in-room is something hard to find at many hotels!) We spent the evening eating at one of the 2 EXCELLENT restaurants Mike recommended in the area. After coming home, we sat outside on the relaxing porch and played cards, and also met Anita, who is truly a delightful woman! (And checked email via wireless internet- another nice modern touch!) But the highlight was the next morning- I have been fortunate enough to be able to travel in my lifetime, and NEVER have I had a more gourmet or delicious breakfast while travelling! Mike could compete in "Top Chef- Breakfast Edition" and win, HANDS DOWN! :-) The food was unique, delicious, pleasing to the eye- and he and Anita's warm service and conversation during breakfast made us feel very pampered! (Oh, and the early morning coffee/tea carts were a great touch.) I cannot say enough about our experience at the Queen Anne- we would have added a 3rd night, we loved it so much, but they were booked! I guess we'll have to figure out another reason to have a girls' weekend back VERY SOON! I never want to stay at another "regular hotel" again... Thanks Mike and Anita for a truly memorable stay!

The Queen Anne is the BEST get away to rejuvinate, and reconnect oneself or with a significant other. Pampering is there at the Inn in every way from the rooms, Parlor Party, breakfasts so sublime, and caring from the Innkeepers. Galena also is special and area surrounding adds to the total package. MiKe & Anita are special innkeepers...none to compare!!!

Charming Decor. Comfortable Bed and Room. Clean. Gourmet Breakfast. Would go there again.

Enjoyable time at Queen Anne. Great food, great hosts, and very comfortable bed.

Very relaxing and comfortable stay, great hosts and wonderful breakfasts.

Mike and Anita were very gracious hosts and went way above the standards of a B&B. The food was exquisite and the home absolutely gorgeous.

We like to get away -- see new places and relax. We try to stay at bed and breakfasts. I must say it was a wonderful stay. Warm, inviting and relaxing. Mike & Anita are terrific!

My visit was a very pleasant and relaxing. I love the room I stayed in and the Innkeepers were a joy & the food was delicious.

M and A are wonderful, full of great ideas about what to do and where to eat. Breakfast is the best, and their company makes it special!

Mike and Anita provided a perfect romantic getaway. The Victorian B&B was charming, and the hosts were knowledgeable and we enjoyed friendly conversation. The breakfast was a gourmet delight. We hope to return and will recommend the Queen Anne to our friends.

As first time guests in a bed & breakfast, we didn't know what to expect for certain but were anticipating a wonderful experience. It was beyond wonderful; we would highly recommend this B & B.

3 night stay Breakfast was both pleasing to the eye and palate Conversation thought provoking and informative

Beautiful home, wonderful hosts, delicious breakfast. Thank you for making our first B&B experience an amazing one. We loved getting to know you...we'll definitely need to come back to meet Anita. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. And for letting us know about the "train" in Dubuque. Amelia had so much fun! Overall, your B&B is simply an amazing place! And you, the hosts, make it so very special. Thank you!

Mike and Anita make everyone feel at home. The breakfast they served is outstanding. Mike and Anita did a great job of getting the guests in the house visiting/talking to get to know each other. The house is walking distance to the wonderful shopping in Galena. I would highly recommend a stay with Mike & Anita.

Queen Anne, a very cozy and enjoyable B&B. Owners were very helpful in knowledge of Galena, i.e. sites to visit, directions, etc. The 1700 hr. 'tea' is a wonderful event, and a great way to start the evening.

The breakfast was outstanding. The food preparation and presentations were a feast for the eyes and tastebuds.

Was real pleased overall with the experience and charm of the Queen Anne. Would highly recommend to anyone who loves the B & B experience. You will not find any better hosts than Mike and Anita!!!

Mike and Anita were terrific hosts, the rooms were charming, and the food was delicious!

The owners were hospitable in every way. We liked the way they joined us at breakfast, which was very delicious. We were celebrating 60 years of marriage, it was a gift from our church. Never had a better gift! Wonderful!

Great home to stay in. Everything was perfect. Great hosts, great food, great location. If you are going to Galena, stay at the Queen Anne.

Mike and Anita made our stay spectacular. They are warm and friendly; the home is beautiful.

We enjoyed our stay at the Queen Anne Guest House greatly. Very Victorian, and a great, convenient distance from all the restaurants and shops in town. Comfortable rooms, though a little small. This seemed like the quintessential Bed and Breakfast experience. Fantastic breakfast, and cozy feel to the rooms. Definitely a good value for the price we paid. Sweet and conversational owners. A wonderful experience!

Have been to Galena many many times and this is my new favorite. The hosts Mike & Anita were tops, and can they ever cook!!! The 2 breakfasts I had were out of this world, and every day at 5 p.m., they have a little get together for the guests with delicious refreshments, drinks, and lively conversation. I'll be back next trip, unless they're full - my loss!!

We have stayed at the Queen Anne twice now. Mike and Anita are absolutely wonderful and their house is amazing! There is a warm, calming feeling all through the Queen Anne that makes us totally relax. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the shopping area of Galena. Breakfast is absolutely fantastic! Mike definitely knows his food: from his recipes to his recommendations, we ate like royalty all weekend. Whenever we need to get away, my wife and I head straight to the Queen Anne!

We have stayed at the lovely B&B five times. The innkeepers are exceptional hosts. The breakfasts are wonderful. The rooms are nicely appointed. The location so close to all town sites. Simply lovely.

Good food, exceptional hospitality, information on good places to eat and shop. Very friendly atmosphere.

I have stayed in B&Bs in England and Scotland but this one ranks up there with them. The owners are truly interested in making your stay special in every way. Everything was exceptional. No complaints at all.

Inn keepers were terrific. Superb breakfasts and comfortable beds. Would stay here again!

Galena, IL is a lovely town from the bygone days. THe charm is tangible and with a gorgeous place to stay, the Queen Anne Guesthouse, it adds up to a memorable weekend for all.

Mike and Anita have a beautiful B&B. It's peace and quiet made for a restful stay. The breakfasts were fantastic, and it's nice to be able to mingle with the other guests at the parlor party. We will return for sure!

Not long ago, my husband and I decided to look for a bed and breakfast in Galena just for a one night getaway. First of all, we didn't know where to start because there are so many to chose from! We finally chose to stay at the Queen Anne guest house mainly because of the price. They had such a reasonable deal for one night on a weekday, we couldn't pass it up. The Innkeepers were wonderful, Mike gave us some really great conversation before dinner. The place was so immaculate and beautiful. We were the only guests at the time and never felt out of place or hurried to leave. Mike brought out hot tea at night before bed and fresh coffee right next to our room in the morning. He also cooked us a wonderful breakfast. We were so pleased to have a relaxing night away from our busy daily lives and will definitely suggest this bed and breakfast to anyone in the near future! Thank you!

The Queen Anne Guest House is a beautiful home with wonderful innkeepers. We had a relaxing time and enjoyed amazing breakfasts. Mike and Anita were so helpful in recommending places to eat and shop. The inn is beautiful on the outside and on the inside. The furniture and decor take you back to another time period. Each room is unique in decor and all rooms have their own bath. You will leave the Queen Anne feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Mike and Anita are great hosts, the breakfasts were terrific, the rooms were clean, and Nicky, the bird, is real nice. We are looking forward to staying there again.

My husband and I found this B&B on line and weren't sure what to expect but the reviews sounded good so we took a chance. This experience far exceeded our expectations! The inn keepers Mike and Anita were a joy to be around. We found our selves sitting and chatting with them far longer than we would have anticipated. The food that Mike cooked was excellent and the house was really beautiful. We will definitely go back!

Anita and Mike were excellent hosts and the inn was gorgeous! The inn is close to downtown and parks to take a walk and relax in. Anita and Mike provided a welcoming, homey environment and we hope to come back again one day!

This B&B is charming in it's decor, and Anita and Mike, the owners, truly care for their guests with compassion. The breakfasts and afternoon teas are wonderful opportunity to mingle with them!

The inviting, warm atmosphere of the Queen Anne and the welcoming conversation with Mike and Anita set the stage for a charming first visit to Galena. We woke up to the smell of fresh coffee and breakfast each morning...the breakfast was unbeatable! In fact it was so great; we are looking forward to trying more recipes from the guest house cook book we purchased. After a full day of exploring the town we were ready for a snack; the parlor time offered great food and relaxing conversation. We would highly recommend staying at the Queen Anne Guest House and we look forward to our next trip back. Thank you Mike and Anita.

Our stay at the Queen Anne was wonderful!! Mike and Anita were very gracious hosts. The breakfast alone is a reason to stay!! We will be back!!

Our stay was in November when it was just getting cold. The Inn was warm and cozy and comfortable. The inn Keepers were very friendly and were very knowledgeable about Galena and the surrounding history which added to our stay. The Inn was well kept and very clean. It did show signs of its age with setting cracks in some of the rooms. Over all we had a wonderful stay and would go back there in the future.

The food was delicious and not at all "cookie cutter" B&B food. Our room was very nice and I loved being able to take a nice, long bath in an old fashioned clawfoot tub! Mike & Anita made our stay so comfortable, they genuinely seemed interested in each and every guest and we so enjoyed staying with them. May nice touches that made the stay just a little more personal.

We just returned from a weekend at Queen Anne's in Galena. It was very comfortable and is VERY close to the main strip of shops, restaurants and bars in Galena. The rooms were very clean and nice. Not too overdone. Rooms were very private. The breakfast the first morning was great but perhaps not typical. We had fresh trout with asparagus and tomatoes. It was delicious and broadend my horizons on breakfast. The second day breakfast was a combination of eggs with asparagus and an english muffin topped with canadian bacon, fresh tomato, cheese, sauce and spices. It was phenomenal. We only went to Parlor Hour (5pm) the second day where they provided Broccoli Cheese soup, snacks and wine while we played a game with some of the guests. The hosts are very nice and approachable. We are a young couple 26 & 27 and were a bit uncertain about staying at a B&B instead of a hotel. I have to say the hosts were GREAT, and it was kind of like staying with a funny, easy going and warm hearted Aunt and Uncle. We also got along great with the other guests that were staying there that weekend. We will definately return and I would strongly recommend to first time B&B visitors.

We enjoyed our 2 nights at the Queen Anne. Mike and Anita were wonderful. Three "Parlor Parties" in the evening were very nice. The breakfasts were great! Rooms were also wonderful!
