Bed & Breakfast

Experience relaxed elegance in Galena’s only 1800’s restored inn.

Built immediately following the American Civil War, this Bed and Breakfast Inn opened to the public in 1867 as the Farmers Home Hotel. This widely recognized icon of Galena hospitality is one of the few buildings in the downtown Galena National Historic District that is still fulfilling its original purpose as a premier lodging property.

Farmers Guest House is conveniently located directly on Historic Route 20 in downtown Galena and is a short walk to Galena’s famous “Main Street”. It offers nine accommodations which vary in size, price and amenities to suit a variety of travelers, including: couples, friends, reunions, group getaways and retreats. All rooms include private bathrooms, Keurig coffee makers, mini fridges and microwaves.

During your stay, you’ll enjoy a complete, homemade breakfast every morning, featuring farm fresh eggs, locally sourced meats and seasonal produce, accompanied by from-scratch bakery items, fruit selections, and a variety of juices to choose from.

Take part in the nightly WineTime each evening of your visit! Enjoy your choice of wine and a cheese selection either in the comfort of your room, or in the company of other travelers in our cozy parlor or delightful garden patios.

Farmers Guest House has been included in many “Best Of” and “Top 10” listings throughout the years. Innkeepers Mark, Luke and Elaine pay close attention to all the details to assure that you enjoy your stay at this unique, historic Galena lodging property.
