    Our stay at Brierwreath was outstanding!!! The rooms were wonderfully decorated. The accommodations were excellent. You really felt at home during your stay. The food was phenomenal. I love the sitting room areas where you could just curl up with a good book and just read. It was very conveniently located to the downtown area. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone.

    Galena is a beautiful place to visit, and of all the B&B choices, I think we made a perfect one with Brierwreath. Brierwreath is a very lovely home to stay at, only a block away from main street Galena and the restaurants and shops. And it is a "home" not just a B&B. Lyn & Mike Cook are the perfect hosts (and Lyn makes a terrific breakfast!). The Mayor's Room was a nice, comfortable, peaceful getaway. Sneaking a peek at the other rooms, they looked just as great. And I loved the teddy bears! Thank you again Mike & Lyn for all your hospitality.
