Betty, the owner, was very welcoming. Rooms are large and well appointed, I especially appreciated having the vanity and sink area outside of the bath. Breakfast was yummy! We would return.

I left four messages and sent two e-mails over a period of about a week and a half. The innkeeper never responded. I had every intention of staying there. My husband attended Knox College and was excited to get the chance to show me around Galesburg. He had heard great things about The Great House. It looked like a lovely place and I was very excited. Unfortunately the innkeeper dropped the ball and we had to plan a completely different trip.

This is one of the nicest places we have ever been to. Betty, the innkeeper, makes you feel MORE at home than any where else we have been (and we love to stay at B&B's.) It is elegance in motion -- absolutely beautiful, with very large rooms at a reasonable price. The back porch is delightful in the summer. We are going there now in the winter and can't wait to see the Christmas decoations - she was decorating when I called to reserve. It is one of the few places that we wanted to spend extra days, just to relax -- when we didn't have them! (Other place's reviews say that, but this really is it!) We recommend that you stop there whenever you are enroute to anywhere nearby. It's worth even to go out of route!
