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.

Memorial Day weekend 2022 my family stayed at Pine Point Lodge in Potosi Wi. The cabin that we…read morestayed in was "Bullwinkle". First of all the cabins are located close to town, close to a main road yet secluded. Where do I start...the cabin itself was very nice. It was decorated to give you the cabin vibe. It was very clean and provided everything that you would need except for your food and clothing. I mean there is even spices to cook with in here! More dishes than you would need and a dishwasher (including soap!!). A very nice fire pit area with nice wooden chairs and benches (no need to bring your campchairs). There is a first aid kit just in case. Bedding and blankets provided so no need to bring yours, plenty of blankets and pillows. These folks have gone over and above to make sure that you enjoy your stay at Pine Point Lodge. Mark and Jo, you get a 5-STAR rating from us!!

We were trying to get out of Minneapolis for a weekend to kayak but no campgrounds were open in the…read morestate due to covid. We discovered Iowa's campgrounds were open and stumbled upon this beautiful campground only three hours from the city right along the upper Iowa river. Luckily it was early in the season because they said they fill up fast during summer months. Heads up, there is no cell phone service here but some free wifi if needed. They booked us a tent site right on the rivers edge! The sites were all marked well and were well shaded with trees. Each site had a picnic table and fire ring and gave you enough space between sites. The office has some food for sale and other needed things like firewood. There is also a man made swimming hole/small lake for families to enjoy because the river is hard to swim in sometimes. They have kayak and canoe rentals to enjoy on the river. I highly recommend doing this! The scenery here is beautiful! Way better then we expected. They can shuttle you to either a four hour run or six hour run down the river. We did the six hour run which did get quite long. The water was a little high but it was still very safe for a beginner. I also heard that fishing is great here when the water is clear. The owners are so nice and accommodating. Prices are very reasonable and you and the family will have such a great time here!

We used their shuttle service to kayak the upper Iowa river and had a fabulous time - spotted 30 plus bald eagles, one of which had a brand new fledgling peeking out of her nest. The resort has a small lake on site, Wi-Fi, and is close to a small town if you need to get back to a little civilization. We were treated to a gorgeous fish filled river with eagles flying up and down the water on a regular basis.

The Old Jail and FIrehouse Guest Suite is a a one-room suite complete with kitchen, dining area,…read morequeen bed, day bed/trundle and small fold-out bed. There is a quiet courtyard as well. When we arrived in McGregor, we were immediately greeted by Richard and Charlene who made sure we parked in a safe location. Richard helped with our bags. As we entered the suite, our senses are bombarded with an Americana motif taken to the nth degree. Almost every square inch is decorated by images and pictures of the old jail and firehouse. The Palucci's will fill you in on the history of the jail and some interesting stories. in addition, there are old trickets and toys representing firemen and the jail theme. Charlene's father was a fireman in Chicago and she has a tribute of him displayed in the kitchen area. Just about every square inch of this room is covered with something. Even the ceiling is wallpapered. If you have sensitivity to sensory overload then this is definitely not the place for you. But, if you appreciate the time and care that went into trying to make this one-room reflect the history of the town, then you will really appreciate the decor and ambiance. Although not officially a Bed and Breakfast, the Palucci's have generously stocked the fridge with pastries and cinnamon rolls, milk, juice, jellies, etc. The pantry has coffee, teas, and snacks. Richard and Charlene have gone out of their way to make sure you can make your way through all the switches and amenities that the place has to offer. In fact, they have written directions for EVERYTHING in the room. There are directions for which light switch is for which area of the room, how to turn the key to open the door, how long to keep the A/C running. You'll either find it endearing or eccentric. Another consideration is the location to Main Street. The room itself if just feet from Main Street and the Mississippi River is only about 4 blocks. But, with the big picture window open, all passerby's can see in. Not a big deal since you can close the blinds for privacy (there's even a note on how to do that). Overall, we really enjoyed our visit at the Old Jail and Firehouse Guest Suite. We found it clean and comfortable. We really appreciated the friendliness and care from RIchard and Charlene. We would definitely stay there again!

Shout out to the staff at Cedar Valley Resort, especially Lucas! Recently we were biking the Root…read moreRiver Trail and heard the sounds of laughter and fun coming from the Cedar Valley Resort. The place looked so inviting. The first things I noticed were a sand volleyball game going on, ladies out riding bikes around the trail in front of the resort, a caregiver and child out for a walk on the trail, a fun giant chessboard game on the yard, beautiful well kept cabins, well maintained grounds, and very organized area stocked with bikes, kayaks, tubes, and supplies while riding up to the convenience store and office. Attention had been paid to every detail from signage, to landscaping displays, and definitely to the training and choosing of staff. Every member of staff that we spoke with treated the resort as if they were the owner and we were their most important client. That kind of hospitality training is hard to come by and rarely seen. This place is a gem and the offerings that go along with it are breathtaking. Scenery for nature lovers, photography, birding, and artist refuge for painting. Trails for biking, hiking, and snowmobiles. Water activities whether floating, kayaking or fishing. Within blocks or a few miles of museums for history buffs and a block away from world famous homemade pie that is absolutely delightful. There is absolutely something for every person of any age. Then to absolutely top it off, Lucas, from the convenience store office after hours delivered our keys to us at our campground that we inadvertently left when we stopped on our way back to our campground in neighboring town. With staff that goes above and beyond like that for people who they met for 10 minutes and remember them from the numbers of people who come through every day is astounding ... Well done Lucas, your generosity and kindness moved your 5 star resort to an over the top resort that has no competition. You have a loyal fan base that is willing to spread the word far and wide.

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.
