Hospitality was excellent. The host took the time to answer all my questions related to the planning of my trip. The breakfast meals prepared by the host were delicious. I will certainly recommend this property to any friends or family who are vacationing in the area.
Lovely B&B. Clean, spacious. Host was very personable. Made us feel right at home. Breakfasts were delicious. Highly recommend hotel belleaire mansion guest house
Lorainne and Jan are the most wonderful hosts! They are very friendly and I felt welcomed the second I walked through the front door. I highly recommend staying here.
The hosts were so sweet and upgraded our room to a suite for free since it was open. And made us the best breakfast in the morning. I'll be back in the summer for sure to have coffee on that balcony porch 😍
Wonderful experience. We stayed in the Garden Vue Suite and were extremely happy with the room. It was very spacious and charmingly decorated. Our hosts Cass and Steve were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast both mornings was delicious. We will definitely stay there again if we are in the Galena area.
Great hosts, great service, great food. Great Scott!

Lovely B&B with great hosts
My husband and I had a wonderful time in Galena. Lorraine and her husband were perfect hosts who made us feel at home. Breakfast was excellent. The B&B is not walking distance from downtown, but there are shops and a good Mexican restaurant nearby. Highly recommended!
The House in the Country is an exceptional B&B. Christina and John are fabulous hosts. and chef—the big breakfast was wonderful!
Our room was full with antique furnishings. The large bathroom had a plethora of toiletries.

The owners are very personable providing freshly baked chocolate chip cookies in the room. They go above & beyond our expectations.
We had an amazing stay at the Belle Aire Mansion. Lorraine was beyond welcoming. My sister and I enjoyed our rooms, the morning on the veranda, a delicious breakfast. Lorraine ensured breakfast met my sister's dietary needs. We enjoyed "gabbing" with Lorraine and Jan and all the thoughtful touches.

Great service but very small room and bathroom
The Owner is very nice and friendly, breakfast was fantastic but the room is very small , tiny bathroom and uncomfortable bed. Overall it was good
I cannot say enough about our stay at Belle Aire Mansion. Loraine and Jun are the most charming hosts that I have ever had. The BnB is the best. Her breakfast were terrific. They were both very entertaining and valued our visit with them. They were very appreciative of our visit and I would not hesitate to go back there again
Lorraine, Jan & Lexie are fantastic hosts. Extremel knowledgeable of the area. Our breakfast was delicious. The only downer was having to leave our favorite town & our favorite hosts and new friends. We will be back to the Belle Aire just as soon as we can.
The property was very nice and rooms reasonably priced. The breakfast was good.
Cass, the innkeeper was very sweet, friendly and helpful. Her twins are adorable.
However, I think that the towels need an upgrade and bathroom essentials should be included even if that means that she raises her prices. Also, some additional lighting is needed on the front of the property to be easier to find.
My overall stay was great! Thanks again Cass and family.
Steve and Cass and kids are very friendly,The food was wonderful. They also had snacks and coffee readily available. Chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven at night. The house is old but a lot of charm. For persons with difficulty climbing stairs there is a bungalow with a ramp,behind the home. Our room was small bed squeaky, but they did have bigger rooms . We were not in the room very much . The town has a lot of history and things to explore nearby. We greatly enjoyed our stay.
Belle Aire is a gracious old mansion kept in pristine condition by Lorraine and Jan who have operated it for decades. Some of the rooms are enormous, others a bit more intimate. Lorraine puts her heart into her breakfasts, which are not only delicious, but also presented with a certain flair. As you approach from Hwy 20, you may wonder about the business development nearby. I can assure you that is all quite irrelevant once you step in the front door.
