    Review Bernadine's Stillman Inn, Galena, IL

    Photo Album

    Ah, "The Jewel of Galena".  The whole place lights up with an amber glow at night.  Rated one of the Top 10 Inns of Illinois, Best Innkeeper and Best breakfast in the Midwest!No, you don't have to be on your honeymoon to enjoy this lovely suite!  1858 plaster crown molding, largest whirlpool tub and two gas fireplaces make this the perfect room to stay in!
    Most recently updated "Dreams of the Past" wins hands down as one of the new favorites!The Royalty III is charming.  Great view of the front gardens and perfectly quiet!
    Just redecorated, the "Love's First Touch" room is truly a treasure.  A place to relax and enjoy each others company for sure!Grand Romance in style with large whirlpool tub, gas fireplace with marble mantle.  This room was the original ladies waiting room.
    Simply charming the Royalty II has everything you need for a relaxing stay.  Cable TV, CD player, mini fridge with complimentary beverages and a terrific view of the upper lawn area."Best Breakfast In The Midwest" served in our Parlor daily.  Two entrees two choose from, cooked to order.  Breakfast starts at 8:30am but sleep in and come down at 9:30am if you'd like!
    The Romance Room is truly remarkable.  Fabric draped bed, whirlpool and gas fireplace makes this a favorite. Bottle of wine, good friends and a place to enjoy both.  Would you like a glass of iced tea?  Just ask!
    We don't always dress like this and my son is taller than I am now but I think this captures the Spirit of being in Galena!  We look forward to having you stay with us.Widows Watch over the top of the mansion.
    Yes, winter can be hard but take a look at this.  Isn't she just gorgeous!  Grab a good book, a cup of hot cocoa and enjoy the warm fireplace!What a great day for an outdoor ceremony.  Gardens in full bloom!
    Wedding Receptions are our specialty.  Just imagine yourself dancing on that dance floor surrounded by the people you love.Bernadine with the Mayor of Galena enjoying one of several Civial War events.
