Welcome to the Next Generation of Bed and Breakfasts
Welcome to the Next Generation of Bed and BreakfastsWe are Galena’s first and only cannabis friendly bed and breakfast! Between the two of us, we have 50 years of experience in the hospitality and service industry and we think we’ve done a pretty great job of making Aldrich Guest House a great place for you.
For our cannabis consumers, we have built a Potting Shed (see what we did there?) for you to enjoy your cannabis while you’re here. This is separate from the house so that we don’t bother guests who do not wish to be around it – there’s room for everyone in the world!
And did we say ‘shed’?! Really, it should be called a tiny house since it’s got some comfy furniture, a TV for streaming funny YouTube videos, heat/AC, and there’s even a snack bar in it because we all know food is a completely different experience when high. We got your back!
The Potting Shed makes Aldrich Guest House the first and only 420 friendly lodging in Galena and is the only place that cannabis consumption is allowed at Aldrich Guest House. It is more of a ‘tiny house’ than a shed, but you have to admit, ‘The Potting Shed’ is a pretty clever name, don’t you think?
The Potting Shed is a separate building from the main house. It is fully climate controlled, has comfy furniture, free and fast WiFi, and a television so you can cast your favorite cat videos from YouTube because man those are way funnier when you’re high! There is also a paid ‘honor bar’ for snacks…chips, chocolate, peanuts, dried cranberries, and other things so you can make your own combination of yummy high food.
The goal with The Potting Shed is to be a cannabis friendly lodging option without disturbing those who don’t wish to partake. Being physically separate from the house, it gives privacy in a legal, comfortable environment for those who want to enjoy cannabis while respecting the preference of guests who prefer to refrain.
Vaporizer rentals available onsite!
