Sandy is on top of everything! Not to mention the amazing breakfasts. And Dave was out at 7:30 in the morning shoveling eight inches of snow from the driveway to make sure we were able to leave at the time we wanted. Second visit at Derinda House, and there will be many more in the years to come!

This was a great place to stay. Sandy made us delicious breakfast on two of our days. We wanted to explore the town for breakfast on our other day. She was very informative about things to go see and places to visit around Elizabeth and Galena. She was a delight to talk to. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area. It was only 20 minutes to Galena.

The home and yard are gorgeous and meticulously maintained. The location is private, yet still convenient to everything in the Galena area . . . and the local scenery is really pretty. The breakfasts were delicious and the host is an absolute delight!! This home offers the complete package! We will definitely be back and we'll bring more friends and family with us!!

Great Location and Breakfast!

I stayed here for two nights on a girls getaway with my Mom, my Aunt and my teenage daughter. Derinda is a short but beautiful 20 minutes southeast from all the shopping and activities in Galena, nestled in the woods. Very peaceful, with room to relax and a local brewery with tasty offerings. The breakfasts were excellent and Sandy even called before we arrived to check for any food allergies! We would definitely stay here again.
