Hotels near Upper Mississippi River Wild Life and Fish Refuge

"We gave Steamboat B & B a 5 star rating. Everything about Steamboat exceeded our very high expectations. We checked in shortly after 4 and were promptly and pleasantly greeted by Carol, the innkeeper. She was not overbearing but just the right amount of pleasantries. She gave us a quick tour then guided us to our fantastic room. Steamboat is immaculate with all the amenities, period furnishings and history we could ever ask for. The breakfast was incredible and the several daily snacks with wine, tea and coffee were unique. Carol even offered to drive us to town for dinner. Our stay was full of UNREASONABLE HOSPITALITY!!!!"

"Beautiful hotel… comfortable room and delightful staff. Breakfast was perfect "

"All of the above!"

"Everyone was super welcoming "

"Check in was fast and easy. The hotel and our room was very clean. Very close to downtown Galena, just an eight dollar Uber ride away. I will definitely stay here again."

"The one thing I will caution future guests about is breakfast. It’s one menu selection (there is no menu to choose from) for everyone every morning. So if you’re a picky eater or have lots of food sensitivities, this could be a real hassle. It is served in your room only, and delivery runs a bit on island time. So if you have timed plans in the morning, make sure to give yourself an extra half hour buffer to account for possible breakfast delays. Other than that, I had an absolutely fabulous stay. The fireplace in the room was my favorite feature. Bed and bedding were like sleeping on a cloud. Book a suite with river view if possible. The view is quite wonderful! I saw the inn keeper every day. He’s very friendly, talks to everyone, and truly wants you to have a wonderful stay. I highly recommend dinner at least once at the restaurant there. The food is exquisite! Keep in mind that lunch and snacks aren’t offered. Bring things from home, there’s a fridge and microwave in every room."

"My friend and I were very happy with the cabin. It was beautiful and located in the forest. Huge windows allowed us to enjoy the beauty outside as well. I had a little trouble locating it and the owner offered to stay on the phone with me to point out directions. I recommend this cabin to others."
