The house is beautiful, the breakfast is varied and delicious, cocktail hour was a delight, and the innkeepers, Robert and Douglas, were attentive, funny and informative. The location is perfect, a short walk to downtown. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful experience. Relaxing and accommodating. Potting shed was a nice bonus. Meeting new people was fun and interesting as well during drinks and breakfast.

My husband and I try to visit Galena at least once every year and Aldrich Guest house is always our choice for the best accommodations. Douglas and Robert are great hosts. From their beautiful historic home to the amazing morning breakfasts, the wonderful cocktail hour and the homemade cookies always in the dining room. They love what they do and they love their community. They have so much information on anything you might want to do during your stay. They never disappoint.

We felt very pampered at this beautiful home in Galena. Robert and Douglas are the best hosts, they even told us to "let us pour the coffee". They even shared some favorite hiking trails with us and shared history and wonderful conversation. We stayed midweek and had a wonderful time.

We really enjoyed our stay. Only stayed one night but the hospitality with new owners was great for our first time being b&b participants. Room and entire home was very clean and breakfast was amazing - San Francisco style eggs benedict.

My wife and I just completed a stay at The Aldrich Guest House in Galena,Il. The place is immaculate and the owners, Wil and Tom took service to an amazingly high level. They even modified their gourmet breakfast to accommodate my wife’s food allergy. We would not hesitate to recommend this fine establishment. Howard

My husband and I returned for the 15th time to this delightful B and B. While we were sad to see Robert and Douglas (the previous owners) go, we were so happy to meet Tom and Will who recently bought the place. They are absolutely wonderful and made us feel right at home. Cocktails and breakfast were just as delicious as in the past and the entire experience was once again a great respite. We look forward to returning again and again and seeing how Will and Tom continue to improve the already perfect Aldrich House experience.
