This was my husband's and mine first stay ever at a B&B. I don't think we could have picked a better one. Dave Anderson is a great host, he made sure we were well taken care of. Their homemade breakfast was to die for! I'd definitely recommend this lovely place to anyone! Its so close to downtown Galena.

My girlfriend and I needed to get away from Chicago for a few days and relax. The Stillman Inn was a perfect choice. It is a nice change from chain hotels and it's history and period restoration make it a great change of pace. Our room was spacious, very clean, had a working fireplace that we enjoyed very much, and we loved the colors of the room and the way it was decorated. The food was really good and we had the good fortune of having breakfast every morining with some really nice and enjoyable other guests. Another good reason to stay at the Stillman Inn was the great hospitaliy we were shown by the owner and his staff. His positive, "how can I help make this a great stay for you?" attitude, was refreshing. We had a great experience and plan to return.
A friendly and merry host.

My girlfriend and I discovered bed and breakfasts early last year, so by the time we'd reached The Stillman Inn Halloween weekend, we'd thought we'd seen it all. How wrong we were, and delighted to be so! Dave welcomed us into his home as though we were long-lost friends, and the comfort we felt in our room (and at the breakfast table) was of considerable quality. Located across the street from U.S. Grant's home (and one of the best views of Galena), and conveniently located just off IL-Rt 20, Dave & Bernadine made our visit to Galena a fond memory and story to share. Affordable, comfortable, and vegetarian friendly!
Great First Experience

This was the first time we had ever stayed at a Bed & Breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were comfortable and the food was great. Most of all, we enjoyed visiting with the other guests at breakfast. We may never see these folks again, but we felt a real connection with each of them.
Very Warm and Friendly!!

This was not only our first time at a B&B, but it was our mini-honeymoon as well as my husband's birthday...and it was a perfect weekend thanks to Dave (the owner). I wanted to surprise my husband with a cake in his room and asked Dave if he had any ideas as to who could deliver a cake. Wouldn't you know, he went and bought a cake his self and had it put in the room for me! Other perks were wine hour, a homemade breakfast and friendly conversation. By the end of the night he felt more like 'uncle Dave' rather than an Innkeeper. Very personable, sweet and kind couple and we will always return to The Stillman Inn whenever we visit Galena :)
