We stayed at the Stillman Inn for one night, but wish it could have been longer. Dave, the innkeeper (along with his wife Bernadine) was great! It was our first time in Galena, so he gave us and went through a map he had made himself of Galena's Main Street. It had restaurants, wineries, etc on it. Had a lot... More

Stillman Inn is a nice B & B. The outside of the building is beautiful and feels like stepping back in history. It’s immediately next to the Ulysses S. Grant Home and a ten minute walk from downtown Galena across from Grant Park. No driving is necessary especially when coming back from one of many of Galena’s live music pubs.... More

Bernadine's Stillman Inn is a beautiful and masterfully maintained b&b located close enough to downtown Galena, IL. to be a very convenient walk to wonderful restaurants, shopping and historic sites. At the same time, being located just across from General & President U.S. Grant's Galena residence makes it just far away enough from downtown to be a quiet and cozy... More

My husband and I stayed in a b&b for a first time and were so glad we picked the Stillman inn. Dave (the innkeeper) is a delightful person. Made us feel very at home! The rooms are great ! We stayed in the grand romance with a jacuzzi and loved it! Great atmosphere with lots of history. Great experience!

I enjoyed my recent semi-annual visit to Dave & Bernadine’s Inn. Great and fun innkeepers serving with a sense of joy and sharing. Relished the free cookies, ice cream, popcorn, fruit, and hearty excellent breakfast. The clean, quiet, historic rooms continue to grow more beautiful. Enjoyed walking down the hill from the mansion to downtown Galena. Along with some other... More

Just got back from my first trip to Galena. My boyfriend and I had a mediocre experience before with a B &B so I was so hoping this inn would be so much better. I loved the place and the people!!! The room was quiet and clean with a nice view. I felt transported to another era and with Grants... More

Just returned from another stay at the Stillman. As always, it was absolutely amazing. We have stayed here several times , but this time we also had friends stay there to. They were very impressed with the mansion, the rooms and the great breakfasts. We all came up here for wine lovers weekend and we all decided to make this... More

I've stayed a lot of places and there's only 1 guy that remembers me when I come back. Dave is the Stillman and always makes out stays enjoyable. You will not be disappointed coming here.

My boyfriend planned a get-a-way weekend for my birthday at the Stillman Inn. Once we arrived, the Stillman Inn is breathtaking. It is gorgous on the inside and out! The 'keyhole staircase' is sure a site to see. I was a little nervous about our first stay at a B&B, however all of our nerves were subsided the minute we... More

My finace and I celebrated his belated birthday at Bernadine's Stillman Inn this weekend. We had a fantastic time! We stayed in Room 6 (the first room on the left which used to be the ladies' parlor) and it was even more beautiful than the pictures. I'd definitely recommend this room. We were overwhelmed with Dave's hospitality and genuineness from... More
