Avery on Prospect Hill Guest House

This property has existed since the 1800s. The rooms are cute and quaint, and they are very clean. There is an outdoor patio and gazebo area so you can enjoy the views of the river and the town of Galena from a peaceful perch. It is a PERFECT location for getting around. Main Street is a block away, so we walked there every day of our trip to shop and eat. The river is also a block away, so you can rent canoes/kayaks, rent bikes, walk the trails along the river, or simply sit and enjoy the views. The host is accommodating and knowledgeable. Ask him anything and he is bound to know the answer. If not, he thrives on new knowledge and is sure to find the answer! There was a sit-down breakfast every morning at 9, and the food was great. When we return to Galena, we will not hesitate to stay at this property again!

It's easy to say wonderful things about Avery On Prospect Hill. The location is steps away from the main tourist areas of Galena. The host is incredibly knowledgeable, has a fantastic, wry sense of humor, and is respectful to the extreme. The house is in perfect shape and much better attuned to modern conveniences than most B&Bs. I particularly enjoyed the back porch and gazebo in the backyard, filled with hummingbirds, rabbits, and squirrels. It made doing work email much easier!

excellent b&b. bon was great host. great breakfast. would recommend to anyone. will definitely return

The property was very clean and updated. It was very conveniently located to Main Street, less than 10 minute walk. The hosts are very friendly and outgoing. They thought of any and all amenities that would be needed and had them available to guests. We will certainly stay there again on our next visit to Galena!

After traveling through Galena when going to Chicago and saying this would be a fun place to stop, we finally made a two day stay for our 45th anniversary. This B and B is two blocks from the Main Street of Galena but very peaceful. Hosts, Bob and Cherish are wonderful. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable and the freshly made breakfasts in the morning are delicious. They will keep you full right up to supper time. Return early to the house to enjoy their beautiful porch with a cup of coffee, tea or water all graciously available from Bob and Cherish. Highly recommend a stay at the Avery!

This is a nice, clean little B&B. Host is very friendly. Having stayed in many other B&B’s in the area, I was a bit disappointed in the very basic, lackluster breakfast. Nothing wrong with it, just not as nice as at competitors with similar prices. The house and bedrooms are clean but pretty standard. Lovely porch and convenient location.
