About the Inn

The Cloran Mansion Bed & Breakfast features six rooms, including Antonio’s Cottage, which conveniently sits a few steps outside the house itself. Whatever room fits your style and budget, we believe you will find our accommodations tastefully decorated, comfortable, and inviting.


We like to think we would have made John and Ann Cloran proud. The Clorans came to Galena from Ireland in the 1840s and soon set up a dry-goods store on Main Street. There they would make a living for the rest of their lives, with the exception of the time John spent in service as a volunteer in the Civil War. (The building that housed their store is still there today and is now home to the Great American Popcorn Company). The Clorans built their home in 1880 in the Italianate style of architecture so popular at the time. If you think of it, be sure to ask Paul at breakfast why the home was very nearly never built!


The Cloran Mansion went through various uses through the years. But in the 1980s, a man in town who already owned another bed and breakfast decided to buy it and turn it into a B&B. He had the foresight to make sure there were private bathrooms in every room and a double jacuzzi tubs in nearly every room.


Paul and Janet are the fourth owners of the Cloran Mansion since it became a bed and breakfast, having taken over in July of 2018. We hope that we have done the property justice by continuing to build on its traditions with modern amenities that respect the historic charm.


Free wireless internet, mini-refrigerators with complimentary water and soda, cable TV, comfortable robes, central air conditioning and more come with every room, along with warm hospitality.


We offer a full breakfast each morning at 8:30 and 9:30 in our dining room.


The 1.5 acres of grounds offer plenty of opportunity to unwind and enjoy. A screened-in gazebo, a 1,600 gallon pond with waterfall, gardens, a swing for two, and a patio with fire pit all offer the opportunity to relax away from the hustle and bustle of downtown.


And for those traveling with a four-legged friend, Antonio’s cottage is pet friendly.


In short, when you visit historic Galena, we hope that the Cloran Mansion Bed & Breakfast will be exactly what you were looking for!
