    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!

    A grea birthday present!

    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.

    Another Wonderful Stay at the Queen Anne!
