Plan Your Retreat in Galena, Illinois

The Farmers Guest House in Galena, Illinois, was built in 1867 and operated as a bakery, store, and hotel. The handsome, Italianate Galena guest house became a favorite overnight stop for local farmers, who brought their goods to market, as well as a gathering place for Galena townsfolk. In keeping with the inns tradition of hospitality, we invite you to experience the delight, charm, romance and history of a bygone era along with the conveniences of today.

Farmers Guest House is conveniently located in the heart of Galena, making it the perfect location for your retreat.

We can also help you arrange Galena restaurants reservations, historic tours, on-premises massage services in the Studio and other activities for your quilting retreat.

*Price is per person and does not include tax. Single occupancy; 8 person maximum.  However, 2 rooms can accommodate 2 people each if you have 10 quilters; no adjustment is made to the per person price.

“My girlfriend and I have been to 3 quilting getaways at Farmers Guest House, and are already planning our 4th, 5th and 6th trips there! We love the adorable and very clean rooms, comfy surroundings, EXCELLENT food and treats prepared fresh every day, and their hospitality is unsurpassed! I can’t think of any other place I’ve stayed where I’ve felt so comfortable and catered to. My husband and I will be visiting Galena this fall and you can bet we wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else. “
