Wonderful historic property
This is exactly the kind of BnB I like. The rooms are cute and the building is beautiful and historic. It’s close to downtown. And ginger is a wonderful, hand off host. She’s responsive to messages if you need something but otherwise there’s no forced interaction. As a bit of an introvert it’s exactly the experience I love. Definitely will visit again.

Clean, cozy and close to town!
We had a great experience staying at Linen and Stone while visiting friends in Galena. Close to town, easy check in and a clean and cozy place to sleep at night.

Excellent spot near the Heart of Galena
Can't say enough nice things about our stay and the folks who run the inn. The location was incredible (a very short walk to downtown and an even shorter drive). The rooms were spotless and full of everything we would need for a comfortable stay. Love love loved it! The property managers went above and beyond when we accidentally left some clothing there, they scooped it up and mailed it back to us! We will definitely be coming back to this place again! 10/10 would stay again.

The Four C's: Cute, Cozy, Charming, & Clean
We stayed two nights (Thursday & Friday) at the Linen&Stone Inn for a wedding in Galena. Our rooms were very cheap (I suppose for a Thurs & Fri in December) and initially, I wondered, what's the catch? The host had a lot of info prior to our stay (a note of advice to the host, your emails are too long and and you need to edit them down) and when we arrived, it was super easy to check in and get into our room. We stayed in unit 1 and it's so charming and cute! We were so happy! It's even better in person. It's super clean and I am such a picky person - I am very easily grossed out in hotel rooms and I felt really good about this place. The host provided little snacks and cute coffee bar. So there was no catch, just a great price for a great room! We would certain consider staying here again, but it would depend on the price (I saw some rooms went up in price quite a bit on weekends and busier seasons). We throughly enjoyed our stay :) ps Galena was an amazing area! Barely got to explore.

Galena
Beautiful house located in a beautiful neighborhood. Walking distance from downtown Galena. We stayed on a Sunday so we have the house all for ourselves. The check in was a little complicated, the main entrance for units 1-6 has no sign and took us a while to figure it out, called the host to no avail. Nevertheless another co-host Doug immediately took care of the situation and helped us out. The bedroom size was adequate, nice and comfortable. The house is very well maintained and makes you feel you are in a different period of time. I didn’t like the strong smell of the living room air freshener because I suffer from migraines but once upstairs it was ok. The bathroom had a variety of toiletries in regular size, that’s a big plus. Our room was located close to the street, we can hear all the noise from cars and trucks going up and down US 20, that didn’t bother us because the bed and pillows were so comfortable, I slept like a baby. Looking forward to visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Ginger

Host profile image
Ginger has always had a passion for real estate. Being part of the Galena community for over 5 years, she has tirelessly worked towards building relations with those who are coming and going, whether that has been tourists in town for a weekend or those looking to settle down and call Galena their home.

Why they chose this property

Galena is a charming town with lots of unique shops and outdoor activities from spring to winter. The charm and safety it offers had me sold since the first day I set foot in the town.

What makes this property unique

The Greenbriar Inn (soon to be the Linen & Stone Inn) is historical and close to downtown. The impeccable service that we offer from ensuring a clean room to responsive communication makes us stand out from the rest.
