Sandy provided great breakfasts every morning and gave us tips on things to do in the area each day. The only drawback would be the distance to Galena, but the home was very comfortable, and the back deck was peaceful. So, after a day of finding a parking space and crowded stores it was a nice place to relax.

Beautiful, clean quiet space filled with comfortable furniture (especially the king-size bed), a nice selection of artwork, and delicious gourmet breakfasts! Parking is right outside the front door. We loved being out on the deck and listening to the frogs sing.
We would definitely stay here again.

I just returned from a girls weekend at Derinda House and had a fantastic stay! Sandy's a wonderful hostess and her breakfasts were truly a treat. None of us got hungry until mid afternoon due to the generous portions too! The location is a short drive to downtown Galena and the property is fairly quiet other than the occasional cars driving by. We enjoyed our own private deck our first evening for star gazing and wine. Thank you Sandy. I would definitely stay here again.

My SIL and I enjoyed our weekend stay. Sandy reached out before we arrived, prepared a delicious breakfast each morning, and was happy to offer suggestions for local and area places to visit. The B&B was spacious and had everything we needed. The beds were VERY comfortable. I would recommend staying here!

Sandy couldn't have been a better hostess if she tried. Our accommodations were stellar, comfortable, spacious and tastefully appointed. She contacted us ahead of time with check in information, asked about any food allergies and let us know about area happenings if we were interested. We had a wonderful little treat for us when we arrived, she welcomed us and showed us around ad asked if there was anything else we needed. She even had the wood burning fireplace ready to go for us when we got back from town. Breakfast was plentiful and absolutely delicious with fresh fruit, orange juice and coffee to accompany. We will definitely be frequenting here for our stays.

Sandy was very easy to communicate with, checkin was a breeze and the home was extremely charming! Sandy is the perfect hostess and even made us breakfast and had treats for us when we arrived! The location and size was perfect for us as we were meeting up with our grown daughters, one living in Chicago and one living in Iowa. We were close enough to Galene, but also enjoyed Elizabeth and didn't get caught in all the "business" of staying directly in Galena. The house and patio were very clean and we very much enjoyed our stay! Highly recommend The Durinda House - you won't regret it!

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely property. Sandy is a wonderful host who warmly welcomed us and ensured we had a memorable stay. Accommodations were exactly as stated, with quality linens and towels. The deck overlooks woodlands and is a peaceful retreat to read or enjoy morning coffee. The kitchen is very well equipped if you wish to cook meals. We so appreciated Sandy's delicious breakfasts; she even catered to my dietary restrictions. The property is appx 20 minutes from Galena (gorgeous drive there) and a few minutes from Elizabeth (great ice cream shop there - Three Sisters Sweet Shop). Overall, a perfect stay.

My husband and I stayed at this location and were very happy. Sandy made us excellent breakfasts each morning that we were there and was very flexible. The place is like a little apartment, which was perfect for us. Galena was about 15 minutes away. We were able to shop and then come back and relax here without any issues. We made ourselves a nice dinner the last night there as well. Overall a very comfortable place to stay. We will definitely come back! Thank you!
