Jan and Lorraine were fabulous hosts and made you feel right at home. The breakfasts were delicious. We enjoyed the homemade chocolate chip cookies each evening. We also liked sitting outside on the balcony. The location was on a main road but far enough off the road to make it feel quiet and private. It's definitely a place we would like to visit again in the future.

This was an old farmhouse so you have to climb fifteen stairs to get to your room. The rooms are decorated nicely but as people age, it will be more difficult to get to your room.

The hosts were very welcoming and greeted us at the door. The property is charming, filled with antique details, furniture, books, and decorations. The breakfast was tasty, and it was a cool experience to eat at one table with the other guests. It was a good opportunity to discuss what to do in Galena; everyone had something to share. Also, little touches like a complementary snack basket, coffee, and waters was really nice. The room (canopy suite) was spacious

As much as we love old stuff, I think the bed should be changed out. It was creaky, the mattress worn, and the decorative pillowcases yellowed with age. I would keep the bedposts and the canopy, but rig them up to a fresh new bed frame and mattress, and invest in some new linens.

The breakfasts were delicious and I enjoyed talking with the other guests about their travels. The mansion was easy to find and was a walk back in time. It reminded me of staying with grandma and I was greeted with homemade cookies in my room. I loved it and right away I felt like family. There is a small fridge and coffee areas available and snacks ready anytime of the day or night. One night it rained so I went out on the upper porch, sat in a chair and watched the beautiful scenery. It was a fantastic! I definitely want to stay again in another of the beautiful rooms. Jan and Lorraine and my time in Galena will always be a treasured memory.

A really lovely B&B with a most welcoming and friendly host who makes you feel instantly at home and comfortable. The location is a little out of town but it is quick to reach both Galena and Dubuque, and it means you have no trouble parking outside the house and at no cost and you get a quiet night! The house is full of character and our room was a good size with a very nice bathroom and all the facilities you could need either in the room or just on the landing (fridge, coffee etc). Snacks and drinks were available for free at all times. Our bed was very comfortable and the house was all very clean and cosy. We had a really lovely night's stay and the delightful room was really excellent value for money which included a simple but very pleasant breakfast.

Everything was really good.

The house was beautiful, just a short drive from Galena. All the rooms are individual with a great view. Good beds.The hosts Cass and Steve are always there to answer any questions and create a nice atmosphere, specially at the big breakfast table. .The breakfast was delicious, we loved the cinnamon roll french toast. we had an overall great stay.

We loved the comfortable and private bungalow - felt like our home away from home! And most importantly Cass & Steve were the most gracious hosts. We had so much fun getting to know them and the other couples during the delicious breakfast.

At night it could be hard to see the entrance.

Cass and Steve,and her sister are lovely people. The accommodations were very comfy, and the breakfast delicious. Our hosts were very nice, and treated us like longtime friends. We will go back for sure!

The stairs were hard for my friend, so next time we will request the little cabin.

The location was very quiet and the room was large. And our hostess, Lorraine, is lovely.

I didn't realize there were stairs only to our room and that was very difficult for my husband. There were homemade chocolate chip cookies in our room waiting for us but, unfortunately, they had been there a few days. It's probably better not to offer them if they aren't fresh. Also, apparently only decaf is served and rather weak. I'd suggest the hosts remove the conventional drip machines and invest in a couple Krups. There was a coffee machine upstairs also but it was always out of grounds. No such problem with a Krups. Breakfast, however, was lovely.

It’s a very old house with a lot of character - every room is decorated in a different way, with lots of attention to detail. It is 5 mins by car to Main St Galena, so it is very quiet at night. The hosts Lorraine and Jan are amazing - they do love all guests, love their town and their inn. They gave us two beautiful full breakfasts and a jar full of homemade cookies every night. We had a great time and we are ready to go back soon!

Lorraine and Jan could not have been nicer! From our initial phone call to say we were going to be late, until the moment we left, they were as gracious as they could be. The breakfast was delicious, and being able to sit and talk with Lorraine was a joy. We truly enjoyed our stay at the Belle Air Mansion Guest House. The town of Galena is also very charming!

We should have stayed longer!
