My fiancé and I came here to spend the weekend in Galena and had a blast. The room was big and had a nice view out of the back door onto the deck. The pool and hot tub were an added bonus so we had some relaxing time without driving into town. The place is located relatively close to town and other amenities. We will definitely look into staying here again on our next trip.

The location and room was good, issue was the room was not clean and the door was ajar, looks like someone started to clean but never finished. Dirty dishes in the sink and bathroom was not clean and bed was not made.

We had a great time. We were highly disappointed when we went to check in on time and sat outside our room for 35 minutes waiting on them to clean it. The pool was closed. And we bought groceries to make breakfast so we could save a little money and we put them in the fridge and we woke up the next morning and they were warm. I got an I'm sorry.

We paid $585 for 2 nights, the first room the fireplace didn’t work so they moved us. Not the cleanest place, not the worst, carpet stained, shower tiny and not clean on top of door which is the only place to put your washcloth when you shower, nor clean around the outer edges of the floor. It was ok place to stay. The Murphy bed not comfortable.

Convenient location, clean and very quiet.

The property was spotless, situated in a quiet resort community setting, and extremely clean. The owner stated the room had a Murphy bed; however, it was just as comfortable as a mid to upper-level hotel.

This stay was a last minute couples trip to ski at Chestnut Mountain. The proximity to town and the ski resort was close enough for us and right on a main road which made finding the place at night easy. The checkin/out process was easy and the place had the basic necessities. We enjoyed the jetted tub after our long day of skiing. We would stay here again.
