Galena Illinois lodging

Welcome to the Farmers Guest House! We invite you to come experience all that the city of Galena has to offer while staying in one of our nine tastefully decorated guest rooms, each with its own private bath and cozy resting space. The Farmers Guest house has a long and storied history of charm and hospitality. Since 1867 we have kept our doors open to all varieties of travelers and passersby. The Farmers Guest House started off as a bakery, goods store and hotel, where our first guests were the farmers who stopped in while they brought their goods to market in Galena. Townspeople gathered here to meet and share with one another the delicious food and wine that has made Galena famous.

Galena’s elements of history, hospitality, charm and romance are all mixed into one splendid bed and breakfast experience here at the Farmers Guest House. Enjoy a cozy night by the fire in the Camelot Suite or a relaxing soak in the whirlpool in Pete and Eleanor’s Suite; curl up on the couch in the living room with one of hundreds of books from Janet’s Heritage Library; or experience wine, cheeses and delightful conversation with new friends at wine time every evening at 6:00pm in the dining room of the Inn.

The Farmers Guest House is located right in the heart and soul of Galena, and from our central location on Spring Street Artists’ Row you can enjoy all that Galena has to offer. Anyone who has ever been to Galena will tell you that it is a wonderfully hospitable and generous town with ornate 19th century architecture, award-winning regional wines, and fabulous local Illinois cuisine. Dining options in Galena range from traditional American restaurants to international, Italian, pub and grill and food the whole family can agree on, pizza. Also, sip and enjoy some morning or afternoon conversation at one of our cafés, or, if relaxation is on the agenda, enjoy a personal massage, or a couples side by side message and spas.

Galena is in fact renowned for its wine tasting and shopping, and Galena boasts a variety of unique options for shopping antiques and collectibles, clothing and accessories, home and garden, confectionary, specialty foods and gifts. We’ll have all the resources you need to make the most of your trip to Galena once you arrive at the Farmers Guest House.

Of course, some of our guests enjoy themselves without even leaving our cozy inn and suites. The Farmers Guest House Inn offers guests the opportunity to unwind in our year-round, outdoor hot tub or enjoy the fresh air from one of our tranquil seating areas situated throughout the Farmers Guest House grounds.

We welcome you to celebrate special events at the Farmers Guest House Inn, as well. Our Inn is perfect for the intimate wedding with family and friends that you have always dreamed of, and family outings are a popular choice among our guests, too, since there is something for everyone at the Farmers Guest House Inn and grounds.
