We were glad that Miss Murphy…read morelives on the property and is there to handle any problems, as well as to lock up the house at night. She is very friendly, and the breakfasts she made were delicious. Miss Murphy was very accommodating about our dietary needs. The home is located in a great area, less than 5 minutes from Galena's Main Street. As with most bed and breakfasts, there is no elevator and guests need to use the stairs.

My girlfriend and I both were concerned about racism or same sex discrimination...neither! Absolutely no complaints! Amazing 3 night stay for a really affordable price. We went to Dubuque, IO for fun ad food. The city Galena is so beautiful because of the hills. There is a natural waterfall VERY close to this resort, astonishing!!

The romantic idea of having a double open ended fire place with on side being in the living room and the other next to the hot tub in the bathroom SOUNDS good, the fact that you can continually see into the ENTIRE bathroom is not a good idea. Free wi-fi but only for 30 minutes at a time to accommodate other guests? I was almost waiting for the dial up sounds. Really Wyndham? You can't afford hi speed wi-fi for all your guests even after all the time share sales? The smell of the water is a little eye opening, however they have an ice machine on each floor. No ice bucket is provided so plan on being creative. I enjoyed my time in Galena due to the company I kept and the things we did while here, but I would not recommend this location to others.

This overlook buries the lede: It's not just, or primarily, a scenic overlook, but a large rest…read morearea. That was unexpected! Honestly it's really weird highway marketing. The "scenic outlook" part of it is the drive from the freeway to the rest area. And it is a beautiful vista to be sure, but... there's not really any place to pull aside and look at it. When I've encountered scenic overlooks in Oregon, or when I was in North Carolina near the Blue Ridge Mountains, there was a part of the road set aside with the explicit purpose of folks pulling over to look. Here, you can look as you're driving along but once you get to the parking you can't see anything. There are nearly a dozen picnic tables scattered about the place, some more secluded than others. There's also a garden, which has a couple of bench swings to sit and enjoy the surroundings a bit.

Long Hollow Scenic Overlook is both overlook and rest stop…read more For the rest stop, they have bathrooms, plenty of parking, picnic areas, and scenic places to sit outdoors and enjoy some fresh air and reprieve from the road. They even have bench swings to leisure on. The scenic overlook is best accessed close to the entry. It offers a stunning view of rolling hills and tree dotted farmlands. It is seriously stunning and serene. We spent longer than we thought we might, simply gazing at the landscape, listening to the birds, and breathing in the fresh, country air. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area. Get to it!

Found out about this out of the way brewery close to Lena. It certainly is worth getting to…read more Wishful Acres Farm was growing fruits and vegetables. After a while they chose to also brew beers. They use hops from the crops, it rhymes. Coming here the first time it was kind of confusing. It's a long way from anything else. The entrance to the farm looks like you're going to someone's house. A parking area is in front. This is basically just an open area on grass. A little walk to the structure that kind of looks like a white barn. Inside it's a lot bigger than it looks. Has a few rooms including a patio in the back. In front there's a few tables. A limited but great variety of beers. It's about $6 a pint. Best one we had of these was the Overcast. This is a Hefeweizen, which has banana and clove flavors and is classic stuff. It's about $1 for potato chips. There's also popcorn. Great place for hyper local beers. It's limited space making it not a place for a big group or parties, and there's a few snacks like popcorn. They're open Fridays, and weekends.
