Linen&Stone Inn Unit 1, Charming, Historic, 1.5 Blocks to Main St.

*Linen and Stone Inn formerly known as the Greenbriar Inn

Unit #1 - Private Room with Attached Private Bathroom. This unit is on the 2nd floor and faces Spring Street (Hwy 20).

Feel like traveling back in time by immersing in Galena's rich heritage at our charming historical getaway. Housed in a well-maintained 1838 Federal style building, our inn blends elegance with modern comforts. Recently refreshed, nestled in the heart of Galena, just 1.5 blocks from "Main Street." Choose a single room, multiple rooms, or the entire place to experience our captivating historical haven. Each room has its own ensuite bathroom and is secured with a smart lock. Free parking is available right next to the building.

***What sets us apart***
- Truly historic inn (one of the oldest in Galena)
- 5-star hospitality
- Response within minutes, not hours
- Premium & sustainable personal care products from Public Goods
- High quality linen, bedding, and towels
- High cleaning standards
- Complementary coffee/tea, board games, fast Wi-Fi, and much more

This unit is equipped with its own smart lock to ensure convenience and privacy. The spacious room includes 1 queen size bed with a high pillow top mattress, attached private bathroom, period wallpaper and quilt, comfortable sheets, Calvin Klein designer towels, a mini fridge, and a smart TV with streaming capability, and complimentary Keurig coffee and tea.

Our shared living room offers a delightful space for guests to socialize, unwind, and engage in friendly board game sessions. Out in the back of the inn, we have a growing list of outdoor amenities - firepit, hammocks, chairs, tables, etc.

*The fireplaces in the building are currently inoperable and cannot be used until further notice*

This is our private unit #1, out of 6 total private rooms. Please reach out if you need more space to accommodate a bigger group. You can even reserve the entire inn! :)

** An extra bed (with memory foam mattress) can be added in the room to accommodate a 3rd guest. Please inquire availability before booking. If available, an extra $30/night rate will apply.

***Other notes***
ADD-ON Amenities:
- For only $10 a day, we can supply a Yoga kit for your room. :)

AREA: you are right outside downtown Galena, where you can find many restaurants, art galleries, and boutique stores. 16 minutes to the Chestnut Mountain Resort for skiing/snowboarding or summer outdoor activities. 22 minutes to Dubuque where you can find popular chain stores. Within a 30 minutes radius, you can find 8+ golf courses, numerous breweries, wineries, bike trails, and state parks.

*Our inn is conveniently located <0.5 miles outside downtown Galena, right on Spring street (Highway 20). You can easily walk to main street in 7-8 min or drive in 2 min.

*There is an onsite innkeeper; however, I prefer to communicate through the app. :)

* Our inn is in a quiet residential area, so no loud parties/events/noises.

Great Spot!

I very much enjoyed my stay. The accommodations were wonderful - the room had everything I needed: a comfy bed, clean bathroom, tea/coffee maker, a few cookies (nice add!), a mini fridge... I enjoyed the short walk to town, the easy parking, and the tables outside. I would definitely stay again!

Stayed one night at Linen and Stone and would be happy to return. Great little inn, cute decor, quiet (despite the construction out on the street). Short walk to downtown Galena. Thanks to Doug and Jared, ginger too, for great communication prior and during our stay!

Nice trip to Galena

This was a nice place to stay. Indeed, it is close to Main Street Galena. The owners allowed us to change rooms when we requested, due to street noise. The microwave came in handy when we needed one, and the refrigerator was also very convenient.

Comfortable, Clean & Cozy

We were only at Linen & Stone one night, but wished we could have stayed longer. The manager was very friendly and helpful. You could tell much thought went into each room, and guest comfort was very important! Our room faced a busier street, so at times we were aware of traffic. And there was an older stairway to navigate, which is to be expected in a charming old house. Definitely recommended!

Convenient location, easy parking and clean room!

My husband and I were looking for a place for our anniversary and decided to visit Galena for the first time last minute. We found this listing and it turned out to be a great location close to downtown and right off Hwy 20 which made traveling to other spots ideal (current construction was a bit extra to navigate but that didn’t affect the property).

Pleasant Stay

The room my wife and I chose to reserve was the exact room we reviewed on the website. The room was gorgeous,, the bed comfortable, and check in the easiest I have EVER experienced. In fact, neither my wife nor me ever met the owner/manager. All communication is completed via email.
