Dear YELP Readers,…read more This is what I wrote to Ramona of Le Fevre Inn and Resort in Galena IL after the 4 Sista Girls Spent a wonderful Weekend retreat there !!!! The Sista Girl Club Can't Wait to Go BACK to LeFevre Inn & Resort and Galena given it's awesome scenic, quaint, friendly, and culturally diverse surroundings. It started about 6 months out when the owner Ramona responded to my many inquiries quickly and with great suggestions and discounts. We actually spent Friday, October 6 through Sunday, October 8th, 2017 there which was in the middle of the County Fair which was an unexpected added bonus. The ~ 3 hour drive was priceless as we drove up to paradise. The photos don't give it justice; the Gazebo, Pavilion, outdoor fire pit, indoor fire place, and our all equipped cozy inn with the cute balcony and "BAR" : that's another story for another time ;) and private parking was more than accommodating. Even the cloudy, misty, partly sunny, 60 to 70 degree weather didn't deter the four of us from having a great time. The quick easy 2 x a day drive into Galena downtown was full of wonderful surprises starting with Denise and our highly recommended Tri-State Trolley one hour tour back into Historical time and our driver/tour guide Johnny was full of character, fun facts, and great stories. Shopping at Poopsies for sum thin sum thin you never thought you would want; you'll get IT when you get there;was hilarious and the sales people jumped in to make us feel HAPPY and the discounts were priceless. Brunch at tasty Las Aztecas and Dinner at the Famous Fried Green Tomatoes was fabulous with quick friendly, service, cozy welcoming ambience, plenty of food, and huge variety of drinks. Twice we just had to stop and return to Galena's River Wine and Cheese where owners Bryon and Julie and the gang treated us special; great free tasting of wine, cheese, olive oils, dips...specially made. We did leave a lil sum thin sum thin behind for y'all to purchase. We will be back and I'm preparing my Sista Girl Scrapbook to share our experience with our family and friends. Love and Hugs, Sistas Belinda/Heart, Sheila/Free, Darlene/Sunshine, and me, Linda "Too Tall"/Happy I would love to try and take advantage of your very generous offer...I will pass this along to the other Sista Girls to see if they can afford it. I may need to pass since I have to pay for a destination wedding in 6 months...for a friend :) Love and Many Hugs, Sista Linda Too Tall Happy PS: Have also shared the Good/G-D news on Trip Advisor too.

Exceptionally slow greens and bunker maintenance was lacking. Waited for grounds crew instead of them waiting for us..first time I experienced that at a resort!

Instead we chanced it and my 6 year old ended up with crazy hives on our last day, after 2 days of waterpark. Doctor confirmed it folliculitis from the waterpark and said she also treated another kid from the same one some time ago. The TVs were straight out of the 90's no ability to stream as even cheap hotels do now. You had to wait 30 minutes to go up or down on the elevator. The continental breakfast was an absolute joke with a line that was an hour long. Literally worst waterpark hotel I have ever been to. Stay away!

My review is based on the excellence of a member of Grand Harbor Resort's reservations staff -…read moreAntoine McGee (sp). I won't go into too many details, but I inadvertently booked our reservation, along with our friends' reservation, at the wrong hotel!! Thanks to an assist from Bill Griffen from Boyd Gaming/Grand Harbor, the hotel switch was made. However, we will be traveling with good friends and they were having difficulty making a reservation. Nothing is simple! Needless to say, this became complicated, but Antoine completely understood the situation, booked all of our rooms with very good rates and I'm so happy he answered my call! A total professional who took the time to listen and understand our complicated reservations. We are looking forward to our stay this summer and, once again, thank you, Antoine!!

This place is magic! My family members really enjoyed interacting with all the critters, and Roger…read moreand Sabina were wonderful hosts, setting everything from horse rides to campfires and even capturing the perfect family photos for us. I'd say it's best to visit as part of a group. The experience is especially great for kids. The decor is homey, cozy and involves lots of rugs, so if you have allergies, I recommend bringing your allergy meds. The place is really interactive - little dogs in sweaters greeting you as you drive in, pigs available for pets, chickens you can feed, and of course the horses and goats you can visit. The beds were comfy enough, and each room has a different theme (horses, under the sea, etc). It's a quick drive into town, but also great for outdoor activities. We did a bit of bike riding but it was a bit too cold for us to venture onto the water.

We had the best stay ever! Stayed at Riverview Ranch to ski at Chestnut Mountain (7 minutes away)…read moreresort and was pleasantly surprised by everything. Apartment was spacious, kitchen had everything possible you need, same with shower. Windows had amazing views, and we got to enjoy beautiful sunset every night. The best thing about our stay was owners and their animals. The best hosts, accommodating, friendly, went beyond to make us feel comfortable. We enjoyed hanging out with them. And now, their animals! Animals are well taken care of, some of them were rescued. They have chickens, rooster, ducks, 2 pigs, dogs, goats, pony and horses. It was amazing and therapeutic at the same time. Children enjoyed horseback riding. This was truly one of the kind experience, and we can't wait to go back in summer. I highly recommend it!

Walnut Ridge - "Back again" Hand Hewn, 1800's log cabin is a hidden gem, expertly restored and…read moreappointed by your hosts, Jill & Chuck Staab. This was just a quick "get-a-way" to chase another fine Wisconsin Supper Club listed in our Wisconsin Supper Club book by Ron Faiola. The quaint accommodations at Walnut Ridge caught us off guard - honestly we didn't expect something this charming, quietly tucked in the rolling hills north of the University of Wisconsin Platteville and only 90 minute drive from our home. We are not B & B people, however, Walnut Ridge is not your normal "communal" accommodations - "Back Again" is an 1100 square foot cabin, well appointed - privately and quietly welcoming it's visitors from nearby tourist locations like Galena,Dubuque, Platteville, Prairie du Chien, Madison, Spring Green, Mineral Point, Dodgeville. "Back Again" is a respite for the weary traveler and casual guests - radiant floor heat, fireplace, stocked kitchen, whirlpool tub - neatly finished in an expertly restored 1800's log cabin - set in an iconic, rural, Wisconsin wooded lot of 5.5 acres. Check in and check out was unobtrusive - we never saw our hosts. Drive in, kick off your shoes, mix an Old Fashioned, and run yourself a warm, relaxing soak. Ah, even a bathrobe waiting for you in the sun room. Enjoy - we did.

We stayed one night in the Cabin Life rental. Overall, the experience was enjoyable. Below are the…read morepros and cons of our experience. Pros 1. The cabin was beautiful and very clean, and the surrounding scenery is gorgeous. 3. The jetted soaking tub in the bedroom was wonderfully relaxing - a highlight of the stay. 4. Check in and check out were hassle free, and as other reviewers have mentioned, we never even saw our hosts during the visit. 5. Jill was responsive to our questions and was able to recommend a nearby area for a scenic walk. Cons 1. The website describes the cabins as private and secluded; however the owner's residence and cabins are all within 100 yards of each other, so the feeling of privacy was limited to the interior of our cabin. Cabin Life is also quite close to the road, so traffic noise could be heard even while inside. 2. The website advertises a "continental deluxe breakfast" delivered to the door of Cabin Life each morning by "the breakfast fairy". While the breakfast fairy did exist, and delivered on time, we did not feel that the contents of one small fruit tart, 2 banana muffins, and a scant palm-full of raspberries were up to par with our expectations from the website description. We chose to dine at the Country Kitchen in Platteville instead, which had good food and pleasant service. 3. Hair conditioner was not included with the bath products provided, which resulted in our evening being interrupted by an unplanned half hour round trip to the Platteville drug store.

The rooms were clean and the bed was clean and comfortable!! They didn't skimp on the pillows there had to be 6 on the bed! There were so many towels!

Across the moon with him the staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the area so they helped us navigate what we should see first! We will definitely be back! I didn't take pictures I wish I had!

This was a kinda last minute get away with the hubby. While the place had its own little charm,…read morethere were definate issues that need addressing. 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.
