Enjoyable evening with friends
The little blue house on Settler Ln was so enjoyable and cozy for two couples to stay at. After dinner in town (a shorter drive than it always seems), we settled into a few hours of Sorry! over a few bottles of wine. I tried to start a fire with the available wood, but lacking kindling or any paper I couldn’t pull it off. Undeterred, we opened another bottle! It was easy to keep the temperature comfortable overnight and the beds were cozy. After a simple cleanup, out we went commenting on how enjoyable the stay was.

Wonderful and cozy cottage in the heart of the Galena Territory
We highly recommend Blue Haven for a relaxing getaway to Galena. It is clean, modern, beautifully decorated and very well appointed with plenty of coffee, spices (even cooking spray!), cookware, tableware, toiletries, just to name a few available items. The owners are very responsive and it is clear that they care about their guests. We spent 3 nights at Blue Haven and already look forward to coming back!

The house is exactly as listed and the pictures are accurate. The house is decorated very nicely and is very welcoming. We enjoyed swimming at the owners’ club and the quietness of the area. The house was exactly what we were looking for we just wish the beds were a little more comfortable.
