Brierwreath Manor - a simplier time
The Brierwreath Manor Bed and Breakfast is wonderful destination to explore the Galena Area. The Brierwreath is located just steps away from the Historical downtown and you feel like you have stepped back in time and are part of the community as it was in the 1800's. The suite we stayed in was decorated to period and quaint; but had all of the modern conveniences and was immaculate. the innkeeper, Joe, was a perfect host and provided recommendations for places to have dinner, sites to see, as well as an overview of the history of the area. Breakfast was delicious and Joe provide stimulating conversation as he told us about the history of the manor and the local community as we spent a relaxing morning before heading out to see the area. We highly recommend the Brierwreath Manor.

Rousted at 10:15am!
We enjoyed the cozy room we stayed in, and loved the close proximity to downtown Galena. We were upset by the owners treatment concerning checkout time. We didn't realize we needed to be out of the room by 10am, and that was our mistake. We felt the way we rousted out of the room at 10:15am was unnecessary. The owner pounded on our door and yelled checkout time was 15 minutes ago!! We hurriedly packed our things and more or less ran out of the place. He could have handled things in a more diplomatic manner.

Terrific stay!
Terrific accommodations at a beautiful Victorian bed and breakfast. Loved my suite which included a sitting room. The breakfast were absolutely terrific! The location is great. You can park off Street and walk to the main street with all the shops and restaurants. This is a fantastic B&B which I would definitely visit again!

Thumbs up
We enjoyed this Bed & Breakfast very much. One block off Galena’s Main Street. Breakfast was always yummy-a variety offered. Only room for 3 couples. We only connected at breakfast but it set the tone for the whole day. So much to do on Main Street. We only had a couple of days so it was a perfect getaway. We would definitely stay here again.
