Where to Stay

Belle Aire Mansion Guest House

At Belle Aire Mansion Guest House, a bed and breakfast inn just minutes from historical Main Street in Galena, Illinois, we provide gracious comfort with romantic, relaxing rooms, and friendly, personal service unmatched in the Galena area. Circa 1836, this Federal Mansion, at one time an old farmhouse, has been operating as a premier bed and breakfast for over 30 years. Belle Aire Mansion Guest House is surrounded by eight peaceful acres and features a cozy antique-filled interior. 


Cloran Mansion Bed & Breakfast

At the Cloran Mansion Bed & Breakfast, we aim to give you the best of two worlds.  Relax in the beauty of an 1880 home built in the timeless elegance of Italianate architecture. But enjoy the amenities of a modern inn, including private bathrooms, Jacuzzi tubs built for two, in-room gas and electric fireplaces, plenty of parking, 1.5 acres of gardens, and other comforts meant to pamper. We want you to feel from the moment you enter to the time you leave that you are guests, not simply customers.  A romantic getaway, time away with friends, a solitary retreat – whatever brings you here and whatever roads you’ve traveled – we want Cloran Mansion to be your destination.
