From the moment we made a reservation, the owner contacted us to welcome and offer if we need any information about the area. Jana and Mike are not only great communicators they are lovely, open people. As the property is across from their horse farm we also were able to tour the stables with them. About the property itself it is Beautiful, Spacious, Spotless. Location and landscapes are unbelievable. the Beautiful, large deck is the perfect spot for morning coffee, panoramic views, incredible sunset and in our case for morning yoga, and afternoon sessions.

This property is truly a gem, making us feel at home yet at a 5-star resort! We traveled for a last minute July 4th holiday visit to see family in Dubuque and hit an absolute jackpot in the Galena Territories! The house was perfect for our three 20-something kids, spouses, and our first 7 month old grandson. The rooms are all huge, the beds were extremely comfy and there were so many special little touches! Mike and Jana were amazing hosts, providing yard and board games and helpful suggestions of local events and attractions to maximize our experience. They thought of everything from having a pack-and-play in a built in quiet room for little ones, a comfy nursing chair, to a shower chair for senior or injured guests. The view was impeccable and they created a perfectly manicured walking trail on the grounds. The hosts live across the way where they have beautiful horses to admire. Their love of horses inspired their theme for the lodge. We felt very blessed to spend time in this home to celebrate our matriarch’s 83rd birthday! ![Our amazing hosts brought us champagne to celebrate their first guests.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/99d16947-2245-4f4a-a738-cdd980413217-1751941314420.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![What a beautiful deck to watch the sunset!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e1231f99-6980-44b8-b3bd-f174ffd178f0-1751941314224.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![A beautiful trail to go hiking, just off the back yard. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aba49b1e-02e3-449d-adad-a34d5f42aa7f-1751941314639.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tammy N.
