An outdoor patio with a wooden bench and table, a view of a grassy field, and a distant body of water.

Location: Galena
Review: My husband and I celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary at Lefevre Inn and we couldn't have chosen a better place. The resort is small (only 11 rooms and a few cabins), so it is quiet and low-key. The location is wonderfully removed from downtown Galena, but still close enough to everything to make day trips easy and relaxed. Our room was perfectly located, on the second floor facing the woods and overlooking the pool. This room was truly the most peaceful place I have ever stayed!

Wyndham Garden Galena Hotel & Day Spa

A covered walkway leading to a building entrance with brick walls and a wooden ceiling.

Location: Galena
Review: The stay was good. We were celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary and wanted to be alone, away from the kids. There was only one small problem: we were in a room directly across from a couple with about five children; they would not stay in the rooms and spent a lot of time screaming and running up and down the hallways. No one seemed to care, and that was both nights between 11-11::30pm. We are elderly; afraid to go out of the room for fear of being knocked over by one of the children.

Chestnut Mountain Resort

A group of people seated on outdoor furniture with a view of a river and hills in the background.

Location: Galena
Review: Quaint and out-of-the-way, very unexpected from what I thought it was going to be like, but in a great way. It felt very secluded (maybe because we drove in at night during a Severe Thunderstorm) and private, which led to the fun and adventure of family vacation! Although the rooms and bathrooms are dated - updated as well as they can be within the footprint of the layout - everything was super clean! My husband even noted how clean the grout was in the bathroom, which is something rarely seen..., by Cheryl, June 28, 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent
