Just wanted everyone to note their cancellation policy. We had given over 70 days notice that we were unable to make our trip this year, but it doesn't matter the $50.00 is their set cancellation fee. I would also mention that the air quality in the log cabins is awful!! We opened our windows, bought air fresheners and nothing got rid of the musty moldy smell that permeated the cabin and irritated our sinuses and lungs. This was not a one time experience, we noticed the smell on at least 2 of our stays among several cabins. It was so bad that the last reservation (cancelled one), we had all booked their other cabins, not the log cabins. I have told our group to count me out if they decide to go back, just left a bad vibe with me.

129 Walnut Hill It…read moredoesn't really take much to make me happy...and on a weekend getaway, I'm only really looking for 4 things. I want to sleep in, I want a hot cup of coffee in the morning, and I want to be able to watch TV during down time, and blow dry my hair after a shower. Renting this golf villa, I was hardly able to do any of that. First off - aside from the couch and rug in the living room, the whole unit is dated. To the tune of the 80s. The 1st floor bed may have had my great-grandmothers hand made lace sheets on it, and shades on the window so paper-thin, it was almost awkward to sleep there. The shower curtain with tie backs should be put back in the '91 JCPenny catalog they came out of. We pulled some extra blankets from the closet, they may have been purchased and washed in the same year...gross. A Macy's one-day sale would cover all the updating needed. Coffee maker? Junk... My luke warm black water wasn't going to do it for me. I get that this is a rental unit, but there should be some minimum requirements to meet before entering the rental program. (Put one of these on the Macy's list too). There were two grills on the patio...which led us to have hope at least one worked. One had a knob missing, and some sticks in it from who knows when, and no LP tank attached. Maybe it's time for that one to go?? The other (same brand/model) thankfully worked. Trying to sit down and enjoy a cocktail while your steak is cooking is another story... This bargain hunters gem of a POS table and chair set may have set the owners back all of $50 during a Menards 11% sale. Not at all comfy, but the clear result of a 'eh, this'll do' moment. Don't worry, there's no view to speak of here anyway...completely wooded back yard. There's a fairway back there, but you aren't going to witness any golf, only the screams and splashes in the close by pool. Cleanliness was also an issue throughout our weekend getaway. Though this may be the fault of the rental company, and not the owners. Most of the dishes and glasses we first grabbed were dirty. I ended up throwing everything I could into the dishwasher for a round of cleaning (and I'd thought I left cleaning at home for the weekend). The bathrooms were half decent, but visible dust, hairs, and other miscellaneous debris were evident on the counters, sinks, and tubs. There was also no blow dryer to be found. I guess I assumed there would be one, my bad. The towels all had a mildew scent to them, and were also thrown in the washer/dryer to pre-wash while we ran out for some groceries. Again, things I didn't think I'd need to do while away for the weekend. TV? Ha. There are about 10 channels to chose from, and zero wifi, or cellular service for that matter. Being able to disconnect from life is one thing, but wondering if you could even call 9-1-1 during an emergency is another. Standard cable and wifi should also be a requirement on these rental units. Everyone has down time during their vacation and wants to watch tv or catch up on Twitter. The Walnut Hill pool... Part of why we decided to rent this unit for the weekend was that it had its own pool (separate from the Owners Club) and since it was late July, we figured we'd avoid some of the crowd there. The pool area was nice, lounge chairs and patio tables with umbrella were not skimped out on. Though the one we chose wasn't in optimal working order, go figure. The pool water was cold for late July, and definitely needed a cleaning. The bottom was filthy, and I saw a band-aid float by at one point. This unit will not be on our list of future places to rent from.

It was like we had a gourmet meal unlike our usual breakfasts when we go out and certainly not like what we eat at home.

Sometimes we spent up to two hours or more just sitting around talking with them. The host even went out of her way to purchase beer for us which made it extra special touch for us. Thank you so much for making our first experience a good one. Highly recommend!

The location is excellent; at the end of a quiet street yet 3 blocks from all the shops in downtown Galena. Very close to a couple tourist attractions.

Things we especially liked about the house were the delicious bed linens, the wide range of books in the house (many from local authors!), and the overall cozy cabin feeling. Cozy, in this case, is not code for "cramped" -- in fact, it was spacious with lots of light streaming in through the ground floor windows. Coleman was a wonderful host and his years of experience in the hospitality industry are evident in his attention to detail throughout the property. Onhand was a good stash of guides to nearby attractions with emphasis on birding and cycling, regional-focused magazines, and even some homemade jam. We visited in winter and spent our time skiing and snowshoeing around the property, returning to the Inn for a fire and a glass of wine. We will definitely visit again.

For some reason I had thought these cabins where going to be spaced a little further apart, the where relatively close to each other, kind of like a city neighborhood. I don't know where I got that impression, but they never advertised it that way. We stayed in the Grant cabin, it was the smallest log cabin they had and it was perfect for the two of us. It was nice and cozy. The cabin was clean and waiting for us. The owner/operator welcomed us cheerfully and explained the amenities. The cabin comes with a microwave, fridge, Jacuzzi tub, TV, fireplace and firewood. There is a couch and small table and chairs to eat at. They supply you with a cork screw, coffee pot/coffee, wine glasses and tumbler glasses. In the fridge was a delicious loaf of homemade blueberry bread and two bottles of orange juice. On bench that served as a coffee table between the couch and the fire place there was a guest book where people put in their stories and a binder with fliers and menus for local business and restaurants. One of the neatest part was the history of the building, not just how old it was but the impact of various guests. There were pennies and corks wedged into the walls at different places, left by guests as a reminder of their visit. Keep this in mind when you show up so you don't get annoyed like I did that someone jammed a cork someplace and the owner didn't clean. My wife and I left our own mark. I loved the location and the feel and can't wait to go back. I will say that at $228.00 after tax a night is a little pricey, but well worth the ambiance and experience.

This was the vacation spot I was most looking forward to and the one I was most disappointed by. The best parts? 1- Mt. Horeb is an amazingly wonderful small town we will be sure to return to. 2- The radiant heat throughout - no cold floors. 3- An iPod with 6,000 songs hooked up to a nice stereo system. Our beef? At $110/night, we strongly feel the Gonstead Guest Cottage is overpriced. We resented the 2-night minimum stay once we got there, and hated learning that we would be charged $10 to use their wood (we got a cord of wood from the gas station down the street for $5). We thought the price would guarantee us a nice stay. We were sadly mistaken and will not stay here again. Yes, clean (if you overlook the cobwebs) but you can't escape the strong smell of smoke from the fireplace. No problem, right? We'll just air it out. Sadly, that's not possible as the owners removed the hand cranks from the windows. Yes, they have bikes for you to use, but no air in the tires (even after promising to remedy this). Yes, they have a full kitchen with nice cookware but if they are charging so much it needs renovation. We'd also been told there would be cereal avaialble for us but nothing was there. We did love the town and will be back to visit it. We'll just seek alternate accommodations next time :) As a frequent B&B customer, I know my money should go further than it did here and am sorely disappointed in my stay.
