Unit #5 - Private Room with Attached Private Bathroom. This unit is on the 2nd floor and does not face any roads.

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.

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.

***Other notes***
ADD-ON Amenities:

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.

Loved The Linen and Stone
Great location for walking around Galena. Parked the car once and it stayed there for 3 days. The house is quaint and perfectly maintained. The bathroom soaps and lotions are the best. Coffee and refrigerator in our room. Highly recommend the Linen and Stone.

Would recommend
Easy walk to town. I recommend hooks for towels in bathroom or on door. There was no ceiling fan as stated, but a fan in the room. We went on 95 degree wknd so even though temp was cool in room, fan was appreciated. Very quaint and rustic.

Stay in Galena
Construction right out front door made getting in and out of the place difficult. Black cat roaming inside and wanting in our room. Carpet dirty and dusty in between pieces of furniture. Shower curtain stiff as in very old. Online response was very timely. Especially appreciated that with the cat roaming around in building. Where we had to park our car was under walnut trees thus the first morning our car was covered in brown sticky sap.
