My boyfriend planned a get-a-way weekend for my birthday at the Stillman Inn. Once we arrived, the Stillman Inn is breathtaking. It is gorgous on the inside and out! The 'keyhole staircase' is sure a site to see. I was a little nervous about our first stay at a B&B, however all of our nerves were subsided the minute we... More

My finace and I celebrated his belated birthday at Bernadine's Stillman Inn this weekend. We had a fantastic time! We stayed in Room 6 (the first room on the left which used to be the ladies' parlor) and it was even more beautiful than the pictures. I'd definitely recommend this room. We were overwhelmed with Dave's hospitality and genuineness from... More

My husband surprised me at Christmas with a week-end get away in Galena for this month. I didn't know where he was taking me, so arriving at the Inn was exciting - such a beautiful place! When we walked through the front door I was awed by the 3 story oval staircase. Dave said it is called a "key hole"... More

... Then you would enjoy the truly generous efforts of hosts Dave and Bernadine. I enjoyed many a good conversation between my girlfriend's and my visits to downtown Galena. Located across the street from Grant's home (and one of the best vistas to view Galena) and a period graveyard (suitable for a great Halloween night walk by with a friend),... More

I decided to surprise my husband and take him to the stillman inn for Christmas. We have stayed here a few times before, this would be our 4th. As always was a wonderful stay. We absolutely love it at the stillman! Everything about it is perfect! The house, the food, and of course breakfast...which you get plenty of. The best... More

This was our first time staying at a B&B and it was good overall. Dave is very personable and will provide directions or information for anything you ask about. He has a wealth of knowledge about the area. Rooms - The rooms were small as one would expect for being in a period home. The bathrooms were tiny too but... More

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... More

This was our first experience at a b & b. I was especially hesitant, didn't want to feel like we didn't have our own space but..... our experience was unforgettable. We arrived and were greeted by Dave; he gave us the tour, recommended restaurants etc. Our room was great and breakfast was amazing. Evenings in the courtyard or on the... More

This was our first experience at a bed and breakfast and it was great! Dave was very welcoming, but not overwhelming. Our room was very nice and the breakfasts were great. Dave even made reservations at some of the more popular restaurants in Galena for the guests to make sure we were taken care of. We highly recommend a stay... More
