With 80 guest rooms at the inn and over 150 distinctive homes and villas located throughout the 6,800 acres of rolling hills, vistas and the beautiful Lake Galena and its waterfall, we have the perfect accommodations to be your “Home Away from Home.”

The great thing about a trip to Galena Country is that it’s your story to write. Take on an outdoor adventure along the Mississippi River. Spend hours exploring the nooks and crannies of our many historic sites. Tap into your inner foodie and indulge in rich local flavors. Browse endless boutiques and shops featuring exquisite works of art from local artists. Soar the skies in a hot air balloon. Take a trolley around town. Or tee up a round of golf on our championship greens.

Simply put, Galena County has something for everyone. So drive, run, hike, bike, or soar over here. We guarantee you’ll leave this charming destination with a story to tell.
