This is the first time we have stayed at a B&B in the states, and it was great!! The house is amazing and Rita is wonderful-it felt very much like being at home, but I didn't have to do any of the work!! It's such a gorgeous house and the yard... read more

This was my first visit to Galena and boy did I get extremely lucky with picking the Victorian Mansion. I found the B&B on line and picked, then I called and made reservations with Rita, one of the innkeepers. Rita was great...she even hooked... read more

I searched for weeks to find the perfect b and b in galena. I have high expectations and this place surpassed them all. It is away from HWY 20 and the street noise, a five minute walk to Galena's main street where you can find all the shopping and... read more

We just came back from Galena. I travel a lot, and I compared a lot of B&Bs before reserving a room at this one. We couldn't have been happier with the selection. The room was lovely, the house is elegant, the gardens are relaxing, and our... read more

I recently stayed at the Victorian Mansion, and had a wonderful experience. I stayed in the Julia Room, with it's beautiful canopy bed. It is convenient to everything, and the private hot tub is a perfect end to all the biking and hiking done during... read more

I have traveled the world and I can say that the Victorian Mansion is one of the most elegant and breath-taking B&B's I have ever been in. I highly recommend a stay there - I even suggest a trip to Galena, IL. just to stay at the Victorian... read more

I have been going to Galena for years and just found the Victorian Mansion - I can't believe I ever stayed anywhere else- there is no contest - this place is the BEST hands down.... You simply have to go there to know what I'm talking about - it's... read more

Furnishings were so representative of the time peroid, enjoyed that very much. We chose this type of lodging because we wanted to rest and relax, and we did. The home was very warm and inviting and we felt very at home. The service was great and... read more

The inn keeper Sally is a very genuine host. She made us feel at home the second we arrived. If you are looking for TV, DVD & all the creature conforts on the 20th century in your room this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a trip... read more

I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast. The staff treated us like family. This history of this home is amazing! Our stay was wonderful.

This was our second time to the Victorian Mansion. It was just as beatiful and even more as we remembered it. The staff is very warm and welcoming. The gardens are overwhelming. Breakfast is delicious. We plan to visit again this fall/winter. Tim... read more

I LOVE this place, it totally rocks. The house is mid 1800's and totally restored with added upgrades like a pool table and hot tub , etc. It's like getting to stay in a museum - only much better. The grounds/gardens are amazing. It is by far... read more

We have been back three times to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The beds are so comfortable...we have never slept so grandly in the large beds! We especially loved the wine and cheese reception - a wonderful way to visit with the other guests... read more

My husband & I have stayed at many B&B's..But the Victorian Mansion by far has been the best B&B experience so far..The innkeeper (Aunt Salley) made us feel like family..And the breakfast were way more than we expected...Highly... read more

It was very relaxing to be in the mist of the Victorian era. The decor of the "mansion" is beautiful and the parlours are ideally set up for "lying around." The walk to downtown was easy but the steps coming home were a little... read more

The Mansion itself is beautiful and the rooms are nice a blend of "Old Victorian" with some more "modern" upgrades. My wife and I read our books as we reclined in the yard and played some pool in the parlor room. An overall... read more

Most B&B's we have been to are like craft fair explosions.....this is the real deal with very authentic parlors, furniture,beds and decor. The place is absolutely beautiful. Love the library and sitting lounge and got a quick game of pool in the... read more

The inn is certainly beautifully decorated and our room looked delightful, but the shower water was tepid at best (tried 9pm & 9am), we were not told the room had a non-working fireplace and when we arrived early, we were treated rudely. The... read more

My wife and I stayed at the Victorian Mansion on a cold January weekend for our first anniversary. This was our first B&B experience at the time (and we've since stayed at several in other areas of the country), and none have topped the... read more
