My brother just had a wedding at the Oscar Swan in Galena. When we went to look around the place a few months ago it looked great. The house was clean, plenty of room, grounds were beautiful. The Inn was booked from Friday to Monday for the wedding. Friday morning we arrived and it was filthy. Dead insects on the floor in the basement where the ...
We stayed in June 09. As we walked toward the front door ( it was open) to enter the door slammed in our faces.. I had booked it because it was the closest to Swedish days. The grounds are beautiful, Mary Jo Harding was nice but needs some fixing up. My husband and I saw a wedding taking place out the front window. After I booked this hotel I ...

WOULD GO BACK WITH MORE SECURITY ON THE GROUNDS
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/10/08
I enjoyed our stay very much at the Oscar Swan Inn. To say the least though, were scarred to death on our last day there as we heard the front door open during the night and no one came in. They say the Inn is haunted and they may be right. The grounds and Inn is beautiful and the food wonderful. Nina and Hans were wonderful and gracious. Would return again.

Eight guests and myself stayed at the Oscar Swan at the end of June, our rooms were not cleaned, the owner complained that she clean them. (we were attending a wedding in an hour and a half).

owners are ruining the place ...........learn some manners..The owners need classes in manners and to treat paying guess like we are less then dogs made me feel very sad...To scream and treat people like they treated my wedding party is very upsetting
our eggs bennidict consisted of 1 egg sunny side up on a english muffin, thats it.the inn keeper has been there 20 years and is set in her ways, not even could we have our breakfast in our room,she even complaind about this. This place needs some new life and was not well kept. We were the only guest to stay there on a weekend in june should tell yousomething.We have been to better b&b inns.
My Husband and I chose Oscar Swan on a whim for our 1st anniversary over Labor Day weekend. After some winding roads we came upon Oscar Swan just outside of Galena. It was in the most beautiful country atop the rolling hills, you could see for hundreds and hundreds of miles. Breathtaking. We had the master suite in a large, spacious house. Our ...
