The room itself was so cozy and comfortable. We got the queen room for the huge tub and it was SO WORTH IT! The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I am a morning person and went for a stroll down by the lake at 6am and it was just magical ♥️

Lefevre Inn and Resort is a hidden gem in the Galena area. It was easy to find, just a short five minute drive from downtown. Check in was easy, and staff was super friendly. The room was clean and had amazing country views. The chairs and table outside our room was nice for coffee and relaxation. This was the perfect spot to be close to shopping but far enough outside of town to be extremely peaceful and away from the crowds. I heard the occasional cow or rooster but not much else. It was very quiet and just what we needed for a great weekend!

We planned a last minute trip to Galena, but we wanted to bring our dog with us, and we came across this place. They definitely made our experience unforgettable! It's a bit out of the downtown area (like 3 min drive so not bad at all). However the area, the view, the peace made it the perfect place to stay. Upon arrival, they gave our dog a little bag with treat (homemade in a farm close by), and a little toy which he loved, also the room had a little area for his food and water bowl. The room was super spacious, clean, comfortable, and the fireplace made it even more special. They had a lot of extra amenities like the coffee machine, glasses for wine, magazines about the Galena and Dubuque. Definitely going back there every time we visit Galena.

This trip was planned as just a relaxing getaway for me and my two pups. It turned into a weekend of making connections to a special person in my life. This was a wonderful place to make memories with this special person. We are already talking about coming back in the fall to experience the fall colors and the beautiful sunsets. Our room was amazing and intimate and it was wonderful to be able to bring my two pups to be a part of the weekend’s memory making adventure

This place is a hidden gem! Perfect for a couple's getaway and close enough to downtown Galena to enjoy that area, then get away from the business to an amazing sunset view.

DO NOT STAY HERE. Save your MONEY
The location is beautiful but the resort itself was not good. Its very old and dirty for the price they charged us, It was not worth it. I would rather stay at a Marriott and save my $$. There were bugs in the room. There was no one at the register during checkout to complain about the same. It was supposed to be a getaway for me and my husband after a long time and it was not a great one!
