So beautiful! 🤗

Hot Air Balloon touching down on Lake Galena. If you look closely at the bottom of the basket it is in the water. the owner was training a pilot and thankfully I was there to capture images. What an amazing sight. 10 minutes later that balloon was at 3000 feet.
Out exploring the city of Galena. Took a little drive and found this beautiful spot.
Nice!

8.4/10 Very Good! (412 reviews)
Nice property but understaffed on holiday weekend which led to very long waits at the lounge. Also, the smoldering logs in the courtyard seemed like a cool idea but the smoke lingered and made the rooms smell and messed up our sinuses. Needs a deep clean. But overall a good experience

Wonderful property and owners were very helpful. We stayed with our three children and loved the convenience and privacy of having a townhome to ourselves at the price of a regular hotel room. Highly recommend.
