Are you looking for a new business venture? Have you ever dreamed of owning a bed and breakfast? Well, now is your chance! A historic bed and breakfast, also known as the Belle Aire Mansion Guest House, is now up for sale in Galena, Illinois.
Located just outside the city limits of Galena, this two-story B&B is situated on nearly five acres of land. It offers three bedrooms on the main level, which have been used as the owners’ quarters, along with a family room and office space. Guests can have access to the eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, and living room, all on the main level.
The upper level offers a coffee and tea bar for guests, along with five guest suites, each with its own private bath. Period decor is included in the sale, with few personal owner exclusions.

This bed and breakfast has been run by the current owners for over 35 years. Recent improvements include exterior lighting, signage, and landscaping. The cottage’s roof was also replaced in the summer of 2022. The main house has newer appliances within one year, including the kitchen, water softener, and a power booster for the water pressure. There is even a new AC unit in the Garden Suite. The mansion’s boiler furnace was serviced and rehabbed in 2022.
The sellers are willing to stay and train new buyers if desired. The website and future bookings will also transfer with the sale. The guest house is located less than two miles from downtown Galena, making it a convenient location for guests.
The buildings are located on one parcel, and the price includes the sale of a second parcel of 1.02 acres on Technical Drive located behind the Mansion. Call today to schedule your showing and take the first step towards owning your very own bed and breakfast in Illinois.
