    Once again, family owned and operated!! Nestled a mere 1.5 miles from Main St. Galena, Illinois are five rustic, original 1800s log cabins updated with luxurious amenities such as double whirlpool tubs, woodburning fireplaces, continental breakfast and more. Situated on the Galena IL boyhood estate of Civil War General Augustus Chetlain, this quiet country setting is the ideal antidote for the stress of city living. Conveniently located a short distance from downtown Galena and Walmart, yet completely surrounded by grazing pasture. Private, secluded and convenient.

    great experience

    January 28, 2013

    Went January 3rd, everything was just what we wanted. Winter months in front of a real fireplace and no interruptions, perfect after the holidays. Front desk and reservation desk was supportive and welcoming.

    Charming and Romantic B&B

    January 04, 2013

    The room had a historic log cabin feel yet with modern amenities. The fire place made it a very cozy and romantic get away from our hectic lives, just what we were looking for! It was very clean, and details (ie, linens, candles, bath soaps) just made our stay more enjoyable. We definitely will make a return to Allen's Log Cabins soon!

    Rustic, pet-friendly, unique vacation experience

    January 01, 2013

    My wife and I loved the cabin, which has been around since the early 1800s and had a truly rustic feel. A foremost priority for us was finding a pet-friendly place where we could bring our dog. The $25 pet fee was reasonable. We loved the word burning fireplace, and the jacuzzi was a nice touch too. Beds were adequately comfortable, though not to the extent that I'd expect when spending $250/night. Among the more unique features were the cows roaming the fenced off lot adjacent to the cabins. We were pleasantly surprised to wake up in the morning and see two cows grazing about 5 feet from our cabin. Great to hear nothing but silence other than birds chirping and cows mooing. An excellent getaway from Chicago. My wife and I will definitely be returning. From our view, there isn't a better place to stay in Galena and the cabin itself is the main reason we'll be returning to Galena next winter.

    Quaint, warm basic cabin

    January 01, 2013

    Six of us stayed two nights during December in the Chetlain Cabin at Allen's Log Cabin Guest House. Overall we were happy. The place feels authentic and was also clean and adequately stocked with towels, bedding, etc. There is no kitchen, but there is a microwave, mini-fridge, and coffee maker. The whirlpool was well kept and very relaxing after a long day skiing. The cabins are located a short drive from grocery stores and a couple restaurants. I would recommend Allen's Log Cabins for those looking for a rustic get away.
