We have stayed at a number of bed and breakfasts in the past and this one was the absolute best! Beautiful surroundings, great antiques, fabulous hosts; and a balanced and delicious breakfast. Conversation and amusing stories abound. The sites of the city of Galena were great too!

We are repeat guests at The Steamboat House and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else! First of all, the hosts are truly wonderful people who obviously love what they do! Helpful and gracious, Char and Glenn are eager to give suggestions and helpful advice and have amusing and delightful stories to enchant you with! They are always doing whatever... More

I worked in the hospitality industry for 15 years and now travel for a living. Most "industry" people are forgiving, but for me, a former manager, I still have a critical eye.

This was my first time at a B&B, and from the moment I walked in the mansion it was everything I had imagined and more. Our hosts Glen and Char have their craft down to a science...always around to make you feel welcome and cared for, but not hovering or intrusive. The decor was magnificent, rooms spotless, and hospitality abundant.... More
