Some rooms felt a little piecemeal antiqued, but it's understandable that many of the houses original furnishings and artifacts have moved on with the past owners. We spent a little time relaxing in the living room which was comfortable. We enjoyed exploring the downstairs rooms and tremendously enjoyed art and some of the beautifully crafted woodworking throughout the house. The real highlight of the stay was the secret Underground Railroad quarters in the basement. It was a fascinating space, had some great written interpretation, and was decorated in a great homage to the era. The experience of discovering this space was a mini-adventure that we really appreciated and enjoyed. All in all, communication for booking the place was easy, as was check-in and check-out. Our only criticism is that it felt more like an Air BnB rather than a true b&b because we never actually met any of the property owners or staff and breakfast was a 24 hour make-it-yourself continental breakfast with generously stocked supplies and groceries. Nevertheless, it's a fantastic place to spend a day and get a good night's rest! Thanks Linda and Dawn!

This was an accidental stay in a beautiful house. I somehow came across the Great House while…read moreplanning a weekend away in Galena. It was probably the G named town's to be honest. Blame it on beginning of the year teacher brain. We spoke to the owner and were charmed. We made Galesburg or halfway point so we didn't have travel as far each way. When we arrived, the Great House was just in front of us and it was GREAT! The immense house was beautiful. We followed the entry steps and let ourselves in. We found our room, got settled and quickly explored the beauty of the first floor. The safe was the most surprising beautiful aspect for me. We did not have much time, as we headed to Reserve Artisan Ales for a bite. When we came back around 10, house was quiet. We left early the next morning to be able to make our ticketed plans in Galena in time and did not utilize the 24 hour continental breakfast option (at all during our stay). When we returned around 930 that evening, the guests were quiet, as well. While I was awake between 2 and 430, I was able to hear others having conversation and utilizing the restroom in their rooms. If you are not a light sleeper, this should not be bothersome (as my husband slept through it). The house is beaitiful and well maintained. I did utilize the Keuring PJ coffee bar in the morning. All four rooms for rent are on the second floor.

I'm surprised to see there are no reviews for the Downtown Escape, but I'll happily be the first…read more As of last time I was here in September 2020, they have two escape rooms (and I believe a third is in the works). I have not done The Carnival yet, but I've done Log City Cabin twice with different groups, and far enough apart that I couldn't rely on memory to solve any puzzles the second time. The Downtown Escape is squirreled away on like the 3rd floor of an office building, so it takes a few minutes to find it if you don't know where you're going. But they have a waiting room with a Nintendo 64 and an insanely huge and impressive collection. When I went in September with my girlfriend and her family, we were able to squeeze in some Mario Kart 64 while waiting for the room to be ready. The real draw of course is the escape room. I found the puzzles to be clever and challenging without being too hard to solve. The logic with which you have to approach the puzzles is easy to understand, it's clear from the beginning what you have to do to succeed, and it's pretty well balanced and most importantly fun. I definitely plan to return and do the Carnival room, and also whatever new one they come out with in the future.

It was so nice to see that not much has changed in the town as well as the inn - even with different owners - and it was still as cozy and comfortable as I recalled.

We stayed in the "crane room" and the bed was huge. It is an ideal location from the square where all the restaurants and shops are. They also serve breakfast and it tasted awesome.

We will definitely be back!

We went a bit out of our way to stay at Aunt Daisy's on our bicycle trip from St. Louis to Chicago…read more Oh, are we glad we did! We received a welcome as warm as any of our own aunts could or would have given us, including an offer to put our heat-&-humidity-drenched clothes outside our room so innkeeper Michelle could pop them in the washer and dryer. We've stayed at over 100 B&Bs all over the country, and this one is one of the very best. The building looks a bit plain from the street but is full of amazing woodwork and stained glass inside. Our room was spacious, well laid out, and immaculately clean. The bed was so comfortable we had one of the best rests so far this trip. Breakfast was so wonderful we took a photo for our travel blog. We had mentioned the night before how hard it was to find good fresh vegetables at restaurants and cafes in the Midwest. Well, we had a zucchini, spinach and cheese omelet and a grilled tomato with goat cheese, plus lgrilled apple slices lightly dusted with cinnamon sugar, all from of course fresh ingredients. Wow! We strongly urge cyclists to check this place out. In fact, go way out of your way for this one. It's 2 blocks from an OK restaurant and just under 15 miles from the north end of the Rock Island Bike Trail, a good rail trail to or from Peoria. You'll find friendly, helpful hosts in Michelle & Glen, and have a stay worth writing about.
