It was a relaxing and charming place for the entire family. They are operational all year round.Their restaurant offered delicious foods and overlooking an awesome view of the Mississippi River. Their staffs are friendly and accommodating. Though they don’t have elevators, it’s not too bad coz their stairs are short and easy to climb. They have a decent-sized pool with dry sauna and hot tub. A great relaxation spot indeed! Outside they have a great scenery for walking, mini Golf course. And for adventure seekers,Skiing (winter Season), the Ski Lift, Alpine Slide and the Soaring Eagle zipline.

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.

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.
