"My wife and I decided to spend our 23rd wedding anniversary in Galena. We haven’t been to the area since middle school for field trips/school ski trips etc. we live about 2.5 hours away so it was a nice scenic drive. We booked a cottage at the LeFevre resort and it did not disappoint. Everything was exactly as described. Was pleasantly surprised that there was actually a wood burning fireplace as that was a dealbreaker. The jetted tub was also a necessity and it was perfect. Great scenery and a...

As I descended the original, narrow stairs with the low hand rails I imagined the original women in their high button shoes and hoop skirts more gracefully than me maneuvering them daily. It was a pleasant step back in time with it's antique atmosphere and original structure. It was my 48th wedding anniversary and staying at a family home made it even more...

"IlWe went in the office season and literally had the entire house to ourselves. We had our own designated room but all the other guest rooms were open and it felt like being in a home and not a hotel. The bed was comfortable with plenty of blankets and nice pillows. Every room has a gas fireplace to provide heat. The whirlpool tub was outstanding. Breakfast was included and some of the best food I have had. So much good, we never went away hungry. All around a great trip. I will...

"My partner and I had a wonderful time staying at the Stoney Creek Inn. We were welcomed by the lovely Teresa, who we found so kind and inviting. She felt like someone who we would want to be our friend, we even stopped at the front desk the next night just to chat with her! Our room was comfortable and clean, perfect for a nice couple's weekend away. We would definitely recommend the Stoney Creek Inn, and hope to be back soon! "
