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.

Owner was excellent and very accommodating

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.

First time staying at a BB. Had a pleasant time. Inn keepers were kind and helpful.

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.

Beautiful rooms and excellent breakfast.

Beautiful Historic B&B within walking distance to downtown. Awesome breakfast that caters to guest's health needs.

Enjoyed the breakfast and the pool table. Very convenient walk to Main Street.

We highly recommend The Steamboat House! We stayed at here on our first trip to Galena and we’re so impressed. We hadn’t ever stayed at a Bed & Breakfast so weren’t really sure what to expect but couldn’t have had a better experience. Everything was very clean and Covid friendly! Carol is so kind and welcoming. The home is beautiful and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. The wine at 5 PM was a lovely time to explore the beautiful house. You can see the amount of care Carol puts into everything with the seasonal decorations and the pristine condition of the house. We stayed in Viola and really appreciated the fireplace in our room and morning coffee right outside the door! We will definitely be back!

Being at the Steamboat House Bed and Breakfast felt like travelling in the time machine. What a beautifully maintained place. We particularly enjoyed the library, with its floor to ceiling shelves filled with books and decorations. The room was charming; however, we with there was a table for extra convenience. The wine and cheese plate in the evening was a nice touch. The biggest let down was the breakfast, consisting of coffee, fruit juice, small fruit bowl, and a muffin. Some eggs and sausages would be nice.

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.

Quiet, peaceful, great weekend escape. The house was exciting and decorated so well. Our room had a fire place which made the experience much more cozy. The wine time with cheese made the house feel like a vacation just hanging out.

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.

Beautiful, excellent food and Carol is wonderful. We met 6 new friends. Will go again. Dawn O'Regan

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.

We loved all the Halloween decorations dispersed throughout the house. We loved the fresh coffee at 7:30am. We loved the fantastic breakfasts. We loved the cookies in the evening. We enjoyed our linens, comfortable bed with out fireplace in our room. We loved the location to walk into town. Thank you to Carol and her daughter for a fabulous time!

Carol was a great host . Nice big suite and comfy bed.

Beautiful decor. Friendly and welcoming proprietor. Delicious breakfast. Personalized service. We received a call within an hour of checking out that we had left something behind so we were able to retrieve it easily. Highly recommend!!

This house was amazingly furnished. Our room was very comfortable and coffee bar was right outside the door. Served wine around 4:00 which we looked forward to. Beds were comfortable and only had one problem with a hair dryer and outlet, but that was quickly solved. I would stay here again. It's so close to downtown Galena and very quiet.

It was great very friendly people. Beautiful antique furniture and house.

Our first B&B experience. The small staff was very friendly, and even emailed before the stay to ask about food allergies. Coffee and hot water in carafes just outside the bedrooms at 7:00 was handy. Breakfast was big and tasty. Location just a block away from Route 20, but very quiet. Library filled with wonderful books, games, and movies. Staff was very accommodating to our schedule, and really knew the area. Room was comfortable, and attached bathroom included a shower. You can charge some phones with the alarm clock. Wi-fi and phone reception seemed fine. Our wintertime stay gave us a good idea of icy weather in a hilly region! Staff arranged for multiple applications of salt, sand, and a bit of gravel for the sake of good traction in the driveway and small parking area. Although this was a couple's trip, the set-up would be perfect for a girls' weekend, as the guest rooms are all on the 2nd floor, with a central parlor with chairs and cards.

Great location. Wonderful hostess. Excellent accommodations. Highly recommend.

Among the best B&Bs I have stayed in. Beautiful home, very clean and comfortable. Very good breakfasts. Appreciated the information about the surrounding area that was in our room and led us to explore a new area outside Galena. Within walking distance of Main Street which was perfect for attending the Halloween parade and walking tor dinner Friday night. Would definitely return and recommend to friends.

The one thing we would have liked, were cold bottles of water in our room. There were 2 bottles of water in the room when we arrived, but it was very warm. Putting the bottles in a bucket of ice would help. Having a refrigerator in the hall where the bedrooms are located would be nice. The breakfast was wonderful! Overall, it was a very nice place to stay.
