For my wife and I, this was our first stay at a bed and breakfast. We thouroughly enjoyed the time we spent there.This 150 year old historical mansion is beautiful inside and out. The owners, Dave and Bernadine were very warm and friendly. Dave made us feel at home the moment we walked thru the door. Dave not only wanted to make sure we enjoyed our stay in their home, he also took special interest in our first visit to Galena and provided some insightful suggestions and nice map with special points of interest.

The breakfast was outstanding! The meals were well prepared and presented.

The location of the home is across the street for U. S. Grant's home and just within walking distance of the downtown area.

For our first visit to a B&B, I think Dave an Bernadine set the bar high for others to be compared to.

My future wife and I needed a quick getaway from the city and we luckily decided to spend a night at Stillman Inn. Its a beautiful place with wonderful Inn keepers. The location was great and the experience was wonderful too. The breakfast is definitely a winnder and the all you can eat ice cream bars are great touch too! We will stay again!

My fiance and I had an amazing and romantic stay at the Stillman Inn. Dave's friendliness and hospitality MADE the trip to Galena the most perfect place for my fiance to propose to me. The breakfast was GREAT, the rooms were clean, and the walk to downtown Galena was gorgeous. We will always remember our romantic trip and will stay at the Stillman Inn each and every time we visit Galena!!!! Thank you Dave!!!

It was my wife, Rosemary and myself, first time to a B&B and this place is just beautiful. The hostess and host, Bernadine and Dave, are just beautiful people who run a beautiful operation. You are "family" from the time you walk through the door to the time you walk out. The rooms are very clean and the breakfast is better than most restaurants. The time spent is very well worth it and I could not imagine anyone being disappointed. We felt very comfortable staying at the Stillman Inn. Keep up the GREAT work and we will be back!
