Spring really isn’t too far away, and we find ourselves looking forward to all of the opportunities that come with this warmer change in weather, including birdwatching along the Great River Road. Aside from the beautiful colors popping up from their dormant state over the winter, one of our favorite things about spring is the birds as they flit to and from our feeders around the Inn, and move their way back north after a winter in warmer southern climates.
Romantic Getaways in Galena IL are a time-honored and special tradition and one we’re thrilled to be a part of here at our exceedingly romantic Galena Bed and Breakfast. We don’t often give ourselves enough time to stop and smell the roses, so to speak, or more importantly to slow down, reconnect with those closest to us. And, we must say, if there’s one lesson this pandemic has taught us, it’s to appreciate those few important humans who we’ve let into our lives and to nurture our connections.
We get a lot of questions about dining options near our Galena Bed and Breakfast. Luckily, there are plenty of great Galena restaurants to choose from! Even during this time of limited indoor dining capacity, there are still plenty of great choices for dining out in downtown Galena – many of which offer takeout and delivery, in addition to limited dining in.
Sometimes, it’s hard to get away and maintain your New Years Resolutions – especially at a place like our Galena Bed and Breakfast, where food is a central part of your stay! It’s possible, though!
Chicago is the nearest big city to Galena, and it only takes about 3 hours to get from Chicago to Galena. Even so, you might be asking yourself if it’s worth making the trek from Chicago to Galena. The answer to that is a resounding yes. Of course, we think the opportunity to visit our Galena Bed and Breakfast is more than worth the effort, but visiting us is about so much more than the luxury accommodations you’ll find once you’re here; it’s also about this incredible, historic town that you’ll get to enjoy once here.
It’s not yet officially winter, but it’s getting chilly here in Galena and we’re preparing for the cozy and romantic season ahead.
