Beautifully restored Victorian house, within walking distance to main shopping street. Victorian decor not really my taste but I appreciate the details.

It's very quaint and comfortable and I liked the family-style breakfast in the morning as all of the guests were able to talk to each other. The host was also nice as well and I enjoyed the various activities (such as the morning coffee and evening wine cheese tea) and things to do.

our stay was amazing. clean old home emaculent furnishing. I think we were the last to make our reservations, because the B&B was full for the 3 days that we stayed. I did not see any other rooms available when I booked. we had a smaller room with a queen size bed, but very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent was able to meet new people and was very entertaining. all of them were repeat guests and some even knew each other from previous visits. This was our first time going to Galena I am going to make sure it is not my last. over all one of the best mini vacations we have ever had. By the way Galina was #1 also did not have a bad meal in 3 days that we stayed, full of things to do and see.

CAUTION! Don't stay here if you are sensitive to mold!!!
Or have allergies or asthma.
On our recent stay we encountered horrible air quality conditions. We had a two night stay planned and left a night early, opting to stay at another local hotel. When we brought this manager's attention they did nothing to make improvements (switching rooms/ airing out the room), or a refund.
We attempted to communicate all of this with the owner and have yet to receive a response(and it's been a few weeks)
On a positive note, the cookies they put out were fantastic!

This was the first time my wife and I stayed at a Bed and Breakfast. We were very impressed with everything from the check-in to check-out. The Steamboat House is very impressive and historic. Our room was very nice and the breakfasts we were served were excellent. The Steamboat House is only a 5 minute walk to downtown, so we did not move our car during our 2 night stay. We will definitely be going back to the Steamboat House during our next stay in Galena. Carol's hospitality made this a very pleasant trip.

Everything about our stay met our expectations. Great host, beautiful gardens, interior wonderfully decorated, with main level having both a piano and billiard room. Breakfast was scrumptious.

There are quite a few bed and breakfast places in Galena. It is an old historic home, the inside was decorated nicely, we made use of the pool room which was fun. One suggestion would be to clean up the large front porch a bit, hide the bottle of round up, etc. This is the first impression and the front porch could be such a great focal point. The breakfast each day was very good and it was nice to meet and talk with the other guests. The location was great, just a few blocks from downtown. Overall a nice place.

The breakfast was exceptional, and lots of it. Wine and cheese, and cookies and beverage offerings were a nice touch throughout our day. The period decor of the house filled our stay with interesting discoveries in every room.

The Steamboat House has a great location, within an easy walk of Main Street. The home has lots of features to enjoy like the billiards and movie collection. We stayed in Lene and were very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious each morning, but I could not enjoy the full breakfast on either day. I do wish we were told in advance what would be served or were asked about dietary needs.

A great location for exploring Galena and the surrounding area. Good breakfast, comfortable room and we enjoyed the Halloween decorations throughout the house. This was our second stay and would definitely recommend staying at this bed and breakfast.
