I was born and raised in Galesburg but haven't returned for roughly 30 years, so when I found this incredible house on TAdvisor we just HAD to stay there! I lived just down the street and used to walk by this place and fantasize how fantastic it must be to live in such a majestic house. Well thanks to Betty... More

We were married at the Great House on 04-14-2012. Our wedding was planned in a very short time (less then 60 days) on a very very tight budget. We never imagined how elegant and dream like our wedding would really be. Betty was beyond accomodating to this jittery bride and was not only comforting but took care of even the... More

Beautiful old mansion lovingly restored and very close to downtown. The owner is very engaging and is well informed about the history of the house and the town. Great value. We certainly plan to stay here again on our next visit to the area.

The Great House is very nice Bed and Breakfast and a wonderful alternative to the rather dull chain hotel offerings in Galesburg. This huge house had been completely remodeled at some point in the past so a stay there is a stay in a very nice house, just what you'd want in a B&B. The rooms are clean, comfortable, well... More

My husband and I went to Galesburg, Illinois, to visit the Knox College archives for genealogy research and donation of items and to get away for our anniversay. We chose Great House for our stay and were wonderfully surprised at what a jewel we found in Galesburg. This beautifully restored home is operated by a caring innkeeper who lovingly restored... More

We found the Great House to be everything we were looking for in a B&B; it is clean, quiet, inexpensive, centrally located for sight-seeing, private baths, and owned by an interesting and energetic innkeeper. Since we were traveling by motorcycle, the paved off-street parking is a plus. Since our "carrying capacity" was limited, it was important that all the necessities... More

Betty, the owner, was very welcoming. Rooms are large and well appointed, I especially appreciated having the vanity and sink area outside of the bath. Breakfast was yummy! We would return.

I left four messages and sent two e-mails over a period of about a week and a half. The innkeeper never responded. I had every intention of staying there. My husband attended Knox College and was excited to get the chance to show me around Galesburg. He had heard great things about The Great House. It looked like a lovely... More

This is one of the nicest places we have ever been to. Betty, the innkeeper, makes you feel MORE at home than any where else we have been (and we love to stay at B&B's.) It is elegance in motion -- absolutely beautiful, with very large rooms at a reasonable price. The back porch is delightful in the summer. We... More
