Clean

Both good and not so good. It was clean and near the water. The area is very pretty nearby.I had googled Galena cottages and this cottage came up. I saw that it was 9 minutes away but I later found out that that is by boat. In a car this is 45 minutes from Galena. Upsetting if Galena is why you came and you don't know the area. Also this is in a sort of campground. Finding the driveway in the dark was quite difficult. The season probably makes a difference...we came in the fall. Everything inside is very old. This can be charming to certain people but I wish I had known that a lot of the outlets where made for only 2 prongs. There isn't very many outlets and the bedroom with the bunk beds doesn't have any near the head of the bed. The bunk beds by the way has a shower curtain rod as the railing for the top bunk and is in the closet and the dresser drawers are full so other than a few hooks on the wall don't expect to hang or put away clothes. The mattress in this room was very difficult to sleep on because it has a big dent in the middle and we could not get comfortable and had achy backs in the morning. There is a lot of signs around like no hot plates on the table. Nothing mean but a lot of them it made me feel like I couldn't relax. If you are wanting to sit around the fire outside you should know to bring your own chairs.

A Happy Little Cottage

We couldn’t have been happier with our choice to stay here. Janae is so kind and made our stay comfortable and easy. Location was stellar and the cottage was clean and homey. We’ll definitely return!

Wonderful Retreat

Perfect cottage by the Mississippi River with a wonderful view from the screened in sunporch. Spent mornings there with my coffee and watched the sun rise and listened the birds sing their greetings. Could not ask for a better place to unwind.

So Relaxing

Wonderful location with a spectacular screened in porch. Both mornings sat out there with my coffee and watched the sun rise over the Mississippi River while listening to a chorus of bird songs. Perfection!
