Beautiful property
Excellent staff! Very friendly. The views were wonderful. There is no elevator. I missed that when reserving my room. Lots to do on property. The hotel is showing age and could use an update.

Weekend Trip For 2
The place was a bit dated, carpets were a bit rough, but if you’re not super picky and just looking for a great place to take your family or significant other to spend quality time this is a great spot. Pool is deep and indoors which is great. The outdoor slide 100% is as fun as it looks. Gf and I enjoyed the Eagle ride too. Our upgraded room was spacious. I wish I knew about the $150 or so hold that the hotel puts on your card at check in, but I do like that they let you credit it toward their restaurants and other services they offer.
The dinner restaurant on premise is overpriced in my opinion, breakfast and lunch are priced well through. Keep in mind for all of this that we went during the summer and the resort is aimed for winter guests I’m assuming.

Tranquil setting near Galena
Great resort close to Galena and wineries. Friendly staff and good food at decent prices. Rooms were clean but not fancy but overall worth the price.

I loved the view of the river from the room and the area for hiking to the river. Coming in the fall for the colors was perfect. It’s a short drive to Galena. The restaurant on site was good and convenient.

Quick ski trip
The resort was great for skiing in and out. Overall the staff was friendly and helpful. The property does not have an elevator making it hard to bring luggage and ski equipment upstairs. The building overall and the room we stayed could use some updating.
