Review Steamboat House Bed and Breakfast, The, Galena, IL

Photo Album

The Steamboat House main parlor.  Join other guests for dessert or wine and cheese served informally.A wonderful place to relax, or mingle with others, the billiard room is a very popular place with our guests
Enjoy a fabulous full breakfast served with sterling silver flatware, crystal and china.The Lene, with its 4-poster bed, fireplace, and private bathroom, is bright and cheery.
The Viola is our most-requested room with its exquisite antique furnishings, private bathroom, and fireplace.Amanda is very romantic.  A fireplace, private bathroom, and richly colored Victorian decor make this a favorite.
Our premier room, with a view of the wooded bluff behind the mansion, the Elsie is true luxury with its private bath and gorgeous fireplace
