Location is a defining factor of any well-established hospitality property. While some successful properties can be found in far reaching corners of the world and, thus, function as a destination in and of themselves, other markets allow the natural draw of a diversity of activities and attractions to do the work for them. This special Elsah Illinois bed and breakfast for sale fits the latter model clearly and awaits new owners to capitalize on multiple guest profiles that this market draws in droves.

Highlights of this Midwest Bed and Breakfast within walking distance of Principia College include:

5 guestrooms with ensuite baths (former 6^th guestroom with private ensuite bath currently used as a gift shop / antique room)
.9 +/- acre lot (200’ x 200’)
Spacious and separate 2 bedroom 2.5 bath owner’s home built in 1986 and Main Inn built in 1992
Exceptional, separate but adjacent owner’s home with 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, office, library, kitchen and living room
Located within the first village in its entirety to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973

First off, its important to note that Elsah is not a typical historic market. This charming village was, in fact, the first to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places in its entirety. While most of the homes in the village are privately owned, annual house tours and other events allow visitors to experience the gems within this village. Standouts include Farley’s Music Hall, a circa 1885 Music Hall that has long been a gathering place within the community, the Village of Elsah Museum located in the circa 1887 Village Hall, the circa 1857 Civic Center a former schoolhouse and cultural center, and beyond.

Green Tree Inn is well situated within the middle of Elsah and enjoys views of the historic properties that define the village. A benefit of ownership of this property is that both the Main Inn and adjacent owner’s home were built within the last 40 years. While these buildings are newer construction, the previous owners were sensitive to the historic context of the property and both properties are well situated within the community.

The Inn sits on three adjacent parcels which include the owner’s home, separate garage (with loft storage space for possible conversion or alternate use), and the Main Inn with its kitchen, gift shop and attached public bath (formerly a first floor, income producing guest room) and the main common space and breakfast area. A second floor screened in porch provides an ideal location for guests in the warmer months. Just beyond the Inn’s parking lot are three parcels with a newly constructed gazebo and small historic utility shed. Current owners envisioned this space for intimate weddings and family gatherings which could easily be packaged given the available facilities within the market. There are several areas outside of the Inn for guests’ enjoyment, including mature gardens and a labyrinth. Elsah is a community with a direct connection to nature which has been enhanced in recent years by the development of walking trails within the village to support the lifestyle of residents and promote tourism.

Very few Inns offer ample space for owner’s personal use making the 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath owner’s residence a particularly attractive feature of this offering. This space includes a large open plan living space and kitchen, a sun porch, and office on the first floor. The second floor includes the two bedrooms with attached baths and a library room.

Elsah is home to Principia College, a liberal arts college founded in 1912 with Christian Science at its core. The college is well endowed and hosts countless distinguished speakers and prominent figures, including Barack Obama, Colin Powell, George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Maya Angelou, Elie Wiesel, Robert Duvall, and countless others. Green Tree Inn is within a mile of the Principia College campus and is the closest lodging option within the market and the only quality choice for accommodation for a great distance.

There are myriad opportunities for outdoor recreation throughout the ever-changing landscape on the Mississippi River that connects Alton, Illinois, to the ever expanding seasonal destination of Grafton, Illinois, with its zipline, waterpark, horseback riding, ice skating, golf course, and burgeoning winery scene. Pere Marquette State Park (and its historic lodge and conference center) is located just beyond Grafton and offers 8,050-acres of protected landscape and offers breathtaking views of the confluence of the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. Pere Marquette Lodge is another draw.

Already, Elsah and the Green Tree Inn offer a striking combination of features to draw different guest profiles. Add to this market, the proximity to St. Louis, which sits just over the Mississippi River and is within a 35-minute drive of the Inn, and you have all the required elements to support a thriving hospitality business in the short and long term. An added feature is the strong support of a tourism committee and progressive board that is actively promoting and supporting business ventures in this market.

Galena Illinois Bed and Breakfast for Sale

Galena’s #1 Bed and Breakfast on TripAdvisor!

Aldrich Guest House is an upscale five-room Galena Illinois Bed and Breakfast for sale. The Inn enjoys an ideal location in a quiet residential enclave in easy walking distance to both Galena’s bustling downtown and, in the opposite direction, General Grant’s Home and historic site. The Inn has five guestrooms that are well-designed and take advantage of the quality, and historic details of the physical plant. There is a grand entryway/foyer with a staircase leading to the Inn’s guestrooms. First-floor common areas include high ceilings, crown molding, and period antiques mixed with modern furniture and amenities. The common areas available inside and outside of the Inn are well above the standard for properties of this size and style.

The Inn sits on .43 acres; however, the side lawn and backyard feel spacious and the quality plantings/gardens of contiguous properties, and a small park just below the Inn, provide a bucolic setting for guests. A screened side porch provides the ideal setting for breakfast service as well as hosting drinks and hors d’oeuvres in the warmer months.

A recent addition to the Inn, The Potting Shed, makes Aldrich Guest House the first and only cannabis-friendly lodging option in the state. This space is separate from the Main Inn and gives guests the option to consume cannabis (no smoking is allowed inside either building per State Law) in a legal and responsible manner without inconveniencing others. Future owners would have the option of continuing The Potting Shed for its current use or as an ancillary building for a multitude of possibilities.

You could not find a more appealing and marketable location for an Inn within the Galena market.

The Inn is within easy, walkable distance to downtown Galena which has an abundance of boutique shops, and diverse dining options – from casual fare to fine dining – and is a short drive from all of the other attractions worth noting in this destination location. Current owners have exceeded the expectations of guests with a focus on intuitive yet unobtrusive service. The Inn is the #1 Bed and Breakfast in Galena and Illinois on TripAdvisor and #11 in the United States, with nearly 1000 five-star reviews, putting Aldrich Guest House in the top tier of hospitality properties in the country. Additional awards include first runner-up in a national breakfast competition, first place in a garden competition, Best Romantic B&B by River Travel Magazine, and the Inn was a City of Galena GreenLeader Founding Member. The Inn’s financial performance reflects the success of the marketing and management of the business.

In addition to a strong physical presence and financial performance, Aldrich Guest House boasts a significant and well-established digital/online presence.

The website (aldrichguesthouse.com) was completely redone in December 2022 with a focus on Search Engine Optimization, ADA Compliance, responsive design across devices, performance, and speed. In 2022, there were over 36,000 sessions and 29,000 users viewing an average of 3.5 pages per session with an average bounce rate of 36% which is significantly better than the industry average of 50%. There are over 4,000 subscribers opted-in to the newsletter with an average open rate of nearly 50% (industry average: 34.4%) with a click-through rate of over 5% (Information gathered from MailChimp account.)

Social media is also an essential part of the marketplace today with Facebook being the primary platform and Aldrich Guest House stands out in this area as well. There are nearly 2,500 engaged and motivated followers with the majority being guests and/or the target audience/guest. Instagram and Pinterest are also effectively used to supplement social media presence with Instagram targeting a younger audience and Pinterest being used to connect with guests for sharing recipes, tips and tricks, etc.

The B&B Team is pleased to offer this viable Bed and Breakfast at $975,000.00.

The Bradley Inn was built in the early 1900’s as a boarding house and converted to an inn as the area became a vacation destination.
