The sun is shining, the weather is delightful under spinning ceiling fans on the porch, and the gardens are beautiful in Galena at The Steamboat House.
Congratulations to Sue and Jeff Schmitz and Kristina and Rimas Gilvydis who won the Great Galena Getaway Giveaway this year!   This contest was created by a cooperative effort between The Steamboat House Inn in Galena IL and Musical Expressions music studio in Naperville IL.  The winners will each receive a free night in Galena at our inn.   Here are photos of the lucky winners with Musical Expressions’ beautiful owner, Susan Good.
For those of you who love your pets like we do, and feel guilty about leaving them while you enjoy a romantic Galena getaway, we have a solution!   Elite Pet Sitting right here in Elizabeth, IL, offers a high quality vacation experience for your special friends.   We toured the facility a week ago and were really impressed.  With a limited number of “guests” Elite offers fenced outdoor spaces, well designed interior places, and, best of all, no kennels or cages.  Just lots of love and care from an extremely experienced owner and staff.  Elite only hosts well socialized, healthy pets, so there are no worries for you, and your furry buddy will have a great getaway as well.  When you make a reservation at The Steamboat House, also make a reservation for your animal friend(s).  Then, just drop them off at Elite on your way into Galena.  Perfect!   Check them out.
And remember to check out our latest specials and offers while you visit the Galena site.
At The Steamboat House, your hosts make sure that guests are informed of the many events that Galena has to offer all year long.  This past weekend, guests enjoyed themselves at the annual Murder Mystery weekend! Check the site at VisitGalena.org to learn of upcoming events and for more information.
What could be more fun than a glass (or 2) of wine and some fine cheese while playing a game of pool?  Add the most beautiful billiard room you’ll ever see, a walk to town location, and luscious breakfasts, and you have the ingredients for a terrific Galena Hotel Getaway.   Your stay includes “wine time” each evening and 3-course breakfasts every morning.

The City of Galena has begun a summer promotion entitled Summer Savings.  Visitors who stay during the week can redeem their paid receipt for Galena Dollars at the Visitor Information Center.  That’s it!  Just stay any 2 weeknights between July 18 and September 1 2011.   Rebates are as follows:  2-night stay = $25; 3-night stay = $35!     What a fabulous chance to visit The Steamboat House.      Lower weekday rates PLUS a rebate from Galena.  Sounds like a plan!
So much fun when a talented guest begins playing the piano during wine time and the other guests start singing along! The difference between a Galena hotel and the Steamboat House Bed and Breakfast in Galena is that guests have a choice between enjoying their privacy or meeting new friends and having fun during social times.
