The hot tub at the room doesn't work and I wasn't told about it. One of the reasons that I took that room is because we're looking for a room with Jacuzzi. That's why we're very disappointed. If a knew that before my trip,for sure I'll be asking for a refund

Lovely stay

Beautiful mansion and our innkeeper, Kerrie, was a wonderful host. Her attention to detail ensured we had everything we needed, and her passion shined as we learned a lot about the history of the mansion and surrounding area.

We enjoyed our overnight for our anniversary. The staff was very professional and accommodating. We had a plumbing issue and they resolved it while we were at dinner. Breakfast was delightful. We enjoyed the Blackhawk room.

Innkeeper Kerrie was kind and overall helpful. The building is beautiful. She has generally concerned about our ability to get to the third floor and helped us relocate to the coach house. One TV didn’t work in the space and the lighting in the coach house was pretty dim. The breakfast was good and she was willing to accommodate our special dietary needs. I do feel like some aspects of the house and yard could have been cleaner. Parking can be a challenge.

Liked for all the reasons noted above. Disliked due to difficulty finding the property. On-line maps from website very poor. Once in the Galena area, little to no cell service available to get directions from Google Maps. Frustrating!
