Free advertising from trolley riders going through our parking lot. Friendly community, scenic landscapes. During a down time for most B&B's over the past 6 years we have continued to increase our gross income due to the stately attraction of the building, location and above average amenities for our guests. Current 7 guest rooms, we are allowed to have 8. The separate restaurant operated successfully as a Tea Room and Dinner Lounge for three years when we added the "Galena Wedding Chapel", the only wedding chapel in historic Galena serving small ceremonies. We can serve up to 100 guests for a reception. We are located 3 houses away from General Grant's home and the site for a potential presidential library which would only increase our visibility. We have excellent location to attract valuable "walk-in" business and two trolley companies pass by the Stillman Inn every 1/2 hour during peak season. The sky is the limit on building up the restaurant end of the business. Cash sale - we are not interested in financing.
