Once again we visited Hawk Valley, only this time, with our mother's in tow!.. They loved it just as much as we did. The owners go out of their way to make sure that your stay is perfect! I cannot ask for anything more.. And once again, the pancake breakfast (get the blueberries!) was out of this world including their... More

We visited here last weekend. We had a fabulous time. My husband and I spent the weekend and wished we would have stayed here the whole time. We met Hal and Wendy when we checked in and they are the sweetest people in the world. They were very helpful all weekend long. The breakfasts were amazing and the cabins adorable.... More

This was our second trip to Hawk Valley. We stayed in the Pines with our two daughters. We loved it. Wendy and Hal are awesome hosts (not to mention great cooks!). It is so restful and peaceful at Hawk Valley and only 2.5 hours from home. Can't wait to go back again.

Hawk Valleg Retreat is the best place I could think of to stay near galena. Staying at Hawk Valley, you have a private cabin with a king sized bed (tons of pillows included), a mini kitchen, porch, board games and movies provided free, and a freaking hot tub!! The grounds are superb, with long paths leading you through scenic fields,... More

Wendy and Hal were so hospitable and sweet! They had a dream and made it happen with this B&B and what a WONDERFUL dream it was/is! 7 acres of it! Our stay was relaxing, the house immaculate (and re-decorated I might add, more modern look since the old owners prior to April) and the breakfast was AWESOME! Bacon & Tomato... More

We had a wonderful time in our Hillside cottage which was, I think, on the most beautiful place! We had jacuzzi, small kitchen, fireplace, beautiful bathroom, balcony, trees all around the cottage, etc. The service was awesome, Wendy and Hal are great people, very very nice. We were there for New Year's Eve and we had our 2nd anniversary. It... More

This place is just the absolute chill. The proprietors are laid back and down to Earth, and everything is what a B&B should be. If you're looking for some lax, go to the hawk valley retreat.

The grounds at this B&B are beautful. The fall colors made for a gorgeous backdrop. So glad we chose to stay in the country away from the hustle & bustle of the town. The innkeepers served two wonderful breakfasts during our stay. The homemade granola was delicious and the thin rolled crepes were especially yummy. I would highly recommend this... More

Great B & B off the beaten path. Fabulous location. Quiet. Romantic. Full of nature. New host & hostess in April 2011 are doing a SUPERB job! Breakfasts could not have been more delicious. Homemade granola was off the charts! We loved it, recommend it and will definitely be back!

Hal and Wendy are the new owners and they are doing a fantastic job. Don't miss the breakfast - it was awesome and very generous helpings. The Quiche could have been featured in a gourmet magazine. It's a quiet and relaxing secluded area. Highly recommend for a nice romantic getaway.
