I have to say that this place is truly a gem. We arrived at night and were a bit nervous driving up the very dark and narrow road that leads you to the Inn ... but the moment we walked into the General Store (the entrance to the Inn) we were immediately at ease. The staff is attentive, friendly and... more

I decided to go to Irish Hollow based on other TripAdvisors and their pictures. Pictures are important. Most of you posted good pictures. However, the experiences you have at this Inn outweighs any pictures that can be posted. Picture the rolling hills of Ireland. You have arrived. Walk into the lobby which is an old General Store; perhaps out of... more

We chose the Inn at Irish Hollow to celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary. We didn't know what truly to expect, but we read the reviews, looked at the pictures and went for it. We got the French Maid's cabin and it was a gem. Recently completely renovatged - no detail was overlooked. The linens on the bed were fabulous and... more

The cottage was decorated for the holidays in lush reds, golds, and greens.... more

We stayed in the the inn itself. Room was large, beautifully decorated,with a gas fireplace and wonderfully, large, comfy bed. There are no tv's... more

I needed a place to stage my engagement and had thought of Galena many times and thought it would be the perfect time to visit. I looked around for a few weeks and kept coming back to the Inn at Irish Hollow. After many phone calls and speaking with Matthew, the Inn Keeper, I was convinced this would be the... more

My husband & I just came back from this incredible jewel in the country, 9 miles from downtown Galena. We arrived at the old General Store and met Mathew. He was so hospitable and had stories of the history of this lovely compound. I looked this B&B up on-line and pictures did not do it justice. We stayed in the... more
