Everything was so exquisite. You really feel transported in time. This home has such a great positive energy to it. We are really looking forward to staying here overnight next time we visit.

From Cheri B:The Innkeepers, Wendy & Bill, were wonderful hosts, home is gorgeous, and my room was lovely and very inviting. I so much enjoyed the gazebo and the peaceful feeling I enjoyed my entire time at the Mansion. Wendy has the sweetest nature with helpful advice where to eat. She even took my picture with the beautiful and tasty... More

My significant other and I needed a quiet weekend away. This was our first B & B experience, and we loved it! We both agreed that we would return to the Ryan Mansion again.

Wendy, Bill and Olivia made us feel like members of the family when we stayed at the Ryan Mansion. We felt as though we travelled backwards in time 135 years. What a delightful experience! We can't wait to stay there again. Hopefully, soon! The breakfast was delicious and Minnie's room was charming and comfortable with incredible attention to detail.

There was a whirlpool tub in the room as well, between the bedroom section and the separate sitting room. It was nice to... More

We just returned from a trip to Galena. My husband and I stayed at the Ryan Mansion. Bill showed us around and shared a good bit of information about the mansion, its renovations, and answered all of our questions about the area and things to do. He even let us in on a beautiful secret spot to see the Mississippi... More
