This was my first B&B and I loved it. We were greeted at the door and given a short tour of the house along with the history of the house. Decorations at Christmas were outstanding. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Very relaxing. Breakfast was superb and the hosts were engaging but not obtrusive at all. You can walk downtown from... More

Craig and Leslie were wonderful hosts. We stayed at Avery for 3 nights as my husband and I were involved with a wedding at Galena cellars. The desert at night was a nice touch as we came "home" late evenings from wedding preperations. The Lynn Marie room was spacious and very nicely decorated. The bed soft with a lovely quilt.... More

We stayed at the AVERY for Country Fair Weekend. We LOVE this weekend because of the Fair & all the hustle/bustle that is brought to Main Street. We were able to get a room due to a cancellation. EVERYTHING in town was fully booked & this was last minute for us. Our "usual" B&B in Galena has closed down, which... More

We have been to the Avery four times and each time it feels a little like "going home". The owners, Craig and Leslie, obviously love what they are doing. The Avery is absolutely beautiful. From the fantastic living room with its antiques and inviting sitting area to the cozy rooms with the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in... More

We were fortunate to get last minute reservations at Avery Guesthouse - I was a little apprehensive because I could not find many reviews. However, I should not have wasted any time worrying at all! Avery Guesthouse was lovely. Our room (the Carrie Ann) was clean and cozy and had everything we needed - comfy bed, t.v. with DVD, private... More

I truly enjoyed my experience here. I have been to other B&B's that feel like a room in someone's home, but Avery B&B has old world charm that has all the comforts of home (well better food than I can make!) with the true feel of what a B&B should be. This was my first B&B experience and it's EXACTLY... More
