Phenomenal Stay

Our group was blown away by our host’s hospitality. The Derinda House B&B is a great value for a small group or family to take in the charm Jo Daviess & the greater Galena area has to offer. We are regulars to this part of Illinois and this VRBO is unquestionably a step above. Let Sandy host your next gathering, you will not regret it

College roommate’s reunion

Three former college roommates reconnected after many years and this house was perfect for a lot of catching up. Very quiet, beautiful deck and outdoor space, delicious breakfasts, comfortable furnishings, close to Galena. Sandy, our host, was very helpful with suggestions of what to do and where to eat. And the extra touches- fresh baked goods, ice tea, and coupons for a free glass of wine at Fried Green Tomatoes, was very much appreciated.

Girls Trip couldn't have gone better

Sandy's location is excellent. Out of the crowded Galena area, but close enough for an easy drive over for the day (about 20 - 25min traffic based). Breakfast was delicious and different every morning - Sandy will work with your dietary restrictions - talk with her about it. The space was large - entire upstairs with it's own kitchen if you prefer to cook your other meals yourself. Deck is lovely with a great view - could hardly believe how many stars in the sky. We enjoyed a fire in the firepit area, talking and discussing the adventures of the day. 3 bedrooms all reasonablely sized. 1 en-suite bath with shower. Large full bath in hall for other two rooms to share. Great location to also do some hiking, see the falls at Apple Canyon, hit the local wineries (3 close by) and even get to Iowa to check out Crystal Lake Cave. All in all a fantastic long weekend and we plan to book again!

Great House and Great Breakfast!

My 2 friends and I stayed for 4 nights for a few days of shopping and hiking in and around Galena. The house was charming filled with antiques Sandy had acquired. The beds provided were exceptionally comfortable. We loved sitting outside on the deck for meals or just to relax. Sandy would provide amazingly delicious breakfasts daily and even provided recipes for some cookies she made for us. She informed us of several places to visit that she would recommend to us. The only thing of note worth mentioning is there were quite a bit of ladybugs around the house. They did not bite, get into the food or irritate us in any way. However we felt it should be mentioned should it be an issue for others. It was otherwise a perfect stay and would love to come back!
