    We were seeking a relaxing week away before the family holiday, and Antonio's Cottage at Cloran Mansion far exceeded expectation. Spotless, comfortable, well-equipped with great amenities like a new flat-screen TV, a 600 movie DVD library, 2-person whirlpool tub, heated floors, 3-way gas fireplace and a small kitchen - we never wanted to leave! Cheryl & Carmine are gracious, welcoming hosts and really know what they are doing. We had a fantastic time there with our little dog and cant' wait to go back!

    Great service!

    We took our first vacation in 7 1/2 years. We went to Galena for the Christmas weekend. The Cloran folks were more than friendly! It snowed the first night we were there. In the morning our SUV had been cleaned of all snow, the sidewalks were scooped and swept, the drive was the same. The breakfast and company were superb as well as being warm, friendly and neighborly. Our breakfasts were cooked to order! It doesn't get any better. We have already told everyone we have seen upon our return about these folks! You can't go wrong with the Cloran Mansion! We love 'em!

    My wife and I made our annual trip to Galena for the Luminary Fest and stayed at the Cloran Mansion.. This was our 11st stay since 2005 and we always enjoy ourselves.. We had Sara’s Suite which is warm and comfortable to sleep in and the breakfast is always bountiful and enticing. The host Cheryl and Carmine always make you feel like family, it’s like coming home. They’re very knowledgeable about the area, restaurants, festivals and other goings on in the area. Would recommend the Cloran Mansion to anyone visiting Galena you will not be disappointed..

    What a wonderful, restful, memorable weekend at the Cloran Mansion B&B with hosts Cheryl and Carmine! With the B&B beautifully decked out for the winter holidays, and a warm glowing fireplace in our Sara's Suite, we immediately felt at home -- a very lovingly maintained home. The innkeepers' breakfast hospitality included delicious Danish aebleskiver pancakes, sphere-shaped doughy goodness that resembled a light, fluffy popover. Our country breakfasts each morning, along with the B&B's many other amenities, made for a very pleasant, fun weekend. Cloran Mansion and Galena's distinctive setting -- its surrounding hills, limestone cliffs and river valley; its historic legacy; its vintage storefronts, restaurants, galleries, shopping, and golf and skiing -- are a perfect fit!

    This was our first ever B&B experience and our 2-night stay at the Cloran Mansion was a great way to start. The Tower Room was perfect for a romantic getaway weekend. The hosts, Carmine & Cheryl immediately made us feel welcome, explained all the features of the place and how to work all the controls in our room, and delivered a great breakfast in the morning. My wife & I will definitely re-visit the Cloran Mansion on any future trips to Galena, and thanks to our experience there, we'll definitely keep B&B's in our future travel plans.
