Galena Lodging offers a solution!
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.

Ready, Set, Fall into Galena Fun
This Galena bed and breakfast is always a step above a Galena Hotel or other lodging.   Here are some photos of the recent Labor Day Weekend.  The Bakers enjoyed playing pool while celebrating their first wedding anniversary, and frequent guests the Lautzenheisers were a great audience!  New guests the McFarlands joined us from Ohio and took advantage of the great Fall weather to relax on the front porch with a glass of wine.

Fun in Galena IL
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.

Galena Bed and Breakfast offers Spring relaxation
Check out the Spring bed and breakfast packages on our website.  The flowers are coming up and the trees are starting to bud.   Spending a relaxing evening rocking on the porch, or walking to downtown Galena and enjoying a fine restaurant is a perfect getaway at this time (or any time) of year. AND, no Springtime visit would be complete without a stop at Murphy’s Gardens to check out the gorgeous plants and flowers.
