I loved the beautiful surrounding area and nearby trails. I would have liked some information in the room or at the front desk about hiking and biking trials in the area. Also, information about things to do in nearby towns. Also, it did not seem to be handicap accessible, I could not find an elevator. I was disappointed that the pool and hot tub were under maintenance during my stay.

Perched high on a Mississippi bluff the views were outstanding at this time of year with the leaves changing. My room on the 4th floor had a great view of the river and slopes. The room was nice and the bed was very comfortable. The dining room has great views and there are great outdoor seating options that overlook the river valley. The down side of this property is that the halls and common areas need a lot of updating and cleaning. Also, an elevator would be a good addition.

The property is a bit tired judging from the carpet in the hallways and the rooms are basic but clean and the beds were very comfortable. The area surrounding the resort is gorgeous and we had a great weekend here. I hope to come back and ski!

The view was beautiful. Limited food options at restaurant. The staff that checked us in was not impressive. It took a long time for check in and they couldn’t give us keys. They said they would bring them to us but we had to go back to the desk and ask for them.

I’ve always looked at this property when planning a trip to Galena. It finally worked for me this time! It did not disappoint! Friendly staff, affordable, clean and comfortable room, delicious food, so many amenities, and a GORGEOUS view of the Mississippi River! I will for sure visit the Chestnut Mountain Resort AGAIN! Highly recommended!
