A two minute walk from Main Street, Galena. Such a great little town and a very sweet b&b. Lovely hosts, great breakfast and cute rooms. The hosts even leave out an evening dessert, which was most appreciated! Our room was a little warm with just the fan, but we just opened the window and then were completely fine. Would stay... More

This was our first stay in Galena and were very pleased to find Avery Guest House B&B. Craig and Leslie are very kind and friendly. The entire place is immaculately kept, no dust (no allergy problems). Breakfast was delicious and the conversation with our fellow guests was enjoyable. We plan to stay again.

front the back porch and gazebo. Wonderful place to stay; the hosts, Leslie and Craig are wonderfully gracious innkeepers - hospitality reigns here. Stories and bits of facts were shared among the hosts and guests during the delicious breakfast; each of us was made to feel like their family. The second floor rooms were comfy and decorated to go with... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Avery Guest House! It was a short walk to Main Street, which was very convenient. It is tucked away in the trees, so even though you are close to Main Street, it still feels secluded. The house itself is very nice and tastefully decorated. All of the guest rooms are on the second... More

I'm here right now at the Avery Guest House and don't want to leave my beautiful and comfy room, even to get the yummy and full cooked breakfast.  The love and care in every detail show in every aspect of this home.    Small details such as the tv/DVD in the room, central air plus individual AC in each room...

This was a great bed & breakfast. It was very clean and the rooms were nice. The house has a good sitting area and a pretty porch. It is very close to town, about a five minute walk to Main Street, so you can just park your car and leave it if you want to stay in the quaint downtown... More

This was my first B&B and I loved it. We were greeted at the door and given a short tour of the house along with the history of the house. Decorations at Christmas were outstanding. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Very relaxing. Breakfast was superb and the hosts were engaging but not obtrusive at all. You can walk downtown from... More

Craig and Leslie were wonderful hosts. We stayed at Avery for 3 nights as my husband and I were involved with a wedding at Galena cellars. The desert at night was a nice touch as we came "home" late evenings from wedding preperations. The Lynn Marie room was spacious and very nicely decorated. The bed soft with a lovely quilt.... More
