Let me preface by saying my husband and I consider ourselves adventurous travelers and we find the greatest pleasure in staying in off-the-beaten-path places and make an effort to seek them out. We have stayed in tents in Africa, 14th century cottages in France, 12th century medeival towers in Italy and many, many cool cabins, cottages and B&B's across the... More

I love this place! This is my fourth stay at the cabins. This time in..Grant..which is the "handicapped" cabin. These cabins are over 100 years old. They have a wonderful rustic charm with modern conveniences. Wood burning fireplace, hot tub, satellite TV. They are not new apartments set up to look old and rustic..they ARE old and rustic. If you... More

We stayed in the Parker House and thoroughly enjoyed it. You have to remember this cabin is almost 200 years old. However, it was very clean and well kept. Be prepared for two small loaves of delicious breakfast breads and orange juice to welcome you. These were the perfect size to get us going in the morning while we planned... More

Cabins are very cool - very log cabin/original, with updated bathrooms etc. They are very close together however, so be prepared for that. The deck on the Grant, was broken down and the deck in general a mess...table/chairs not cleaned or even able to be sat on. We received our one small load of frozen bread and 4 bottles of... More

The log cabins are every bit as rustic as we had expected them to be. It was clean and comfortable and we very much enjoyed the wood-burning fireplace. We were very disappointed in the condition of the whirlpool tub however. The surface was peeling in several spots which made it very unappealing to us. In addition, the water pressure was... More

$225 a night weekend stay, with a 3 night minimum stay since its Labor Day weekend, you'd think the least they could do is dust. Our cabin (Parker) had a seemingly neverending supply of dust and cobwebs. I understand the idea of roughing it, but once again for the price, come on! Killed quite a few spiders and wasps inside...

There are no phones in the cabin and no internet connection and the TV didn't work, so I used my cell phone to call the emergency contact number to ask what I was doing wrong with the TV. Apparently the lady who is the emergency contact while I'm staying in their cabin isn't even in the area but is in... More

We stayed in Grant #4 cabin ... Grandma, daughter, and two young granddaughters. Loved the bovine neighbors just outside the window ... soft animal sounds greeted us in the morning ... the whirlpool in the eveninig with lights out and candlelights gave just the right atmosphere for 'girl talk' and a relaxing time to chat about all that Galena had...

These authentic cabins were terrific. I spent 2 days in the Grant cabin with my mother and my 7 and 8 year old daughters. This place was perfect for us. We loved the beautiful setting in the country, however the property is just minutes from downtown Galena. We loved the warm fires (endless amt of firewood provided), and the whirlpool.... More
