The Steamboat is a beautiful old home. Parking is onsite. The host, Carol, is very nice, and her breakfasts and table settings were delightful! The B&B is located on a hill close to Main Street, we walked to dinner one night.

The room was fine and clean, and the bed was comfortable. One small piece of cheese put out for the 5:00 cheese and wine. Coffee is not served until 7:30 and breakfast is not until 9:00. We had to check out at 8:30 for a tee time and asked if there was anything to take with us. Even a piece of toast or a muffin to go would have been nice.

My wife and I traveled to Galena to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary. The weather was perfect for spending a few days there, and the Steamboat House was ideal, thanks to its location, aesthetics, and amenities. We both have gluten allergies, and while I forgot to mention this in our reservation, Carol, the innkeeper, was incredibly helpful in providing gluten-friendly breakfast options, which made our stay feel even more special. The house was beautifully decorated with a fall and Halloween theme, which we both enjoyed as we walked around and took in all the decorations. We highly recommend this place for couples or families seeking a cozy getaway in a historic house just off the main road into downtown Galena. We will for sure be returning in the future for another stay!
