Chose this location due to phenomenal natural views!

Dean United States of America

The staff here are excellent!! Everyone is friendly and kind. The view and whole area is so beautiful. Rides are fun! Hotel is an older building though it is clean and maintained well.

Hope United States of America

I like all the activities that the resort offer for summer and winter. Additionally, the view is one of the best things that this place has.

Wendy Colombia

Perfect location to enjoy your vacation, breakfast was good and lunch was amazing with very reasonable pricing. The resort offers rides, a good pool, and fun activities that keep you occupied for a day then you head towards Gelena Downtime for more. For people will young kids, this is a better option than staying in Galena, as your kids can have fun all morning and can then head with you willingly to the town.

Asif United States of America

Such a beautiful place, but needs updating. Should embrace the seventies vibe, which is totally cool! The view and sunsets are spectacular. The staff are very friendly and have a great sense of humor.

Julie United States of America

The view was beautiful and the staff were very friendly! Thank you for the complimentary muffin and fruit by our door when there was no restaurant open at the resort the first morning of our stay.

Denise United States of America

stunning view from restaurant & deck. super comfy beds.

Katherine United States of America

Checked out ski resort for winter time skiing. Very quiet and peaceful as we stayed on a Tuesday night. Pool heater not working so played miniature golf on site. GORGEOUS VIEW of the Mississippi River at Sunset.

Team United States of America

Excellent location Lodge like decor Restaurant on-site Heater in room controlled by guest Clean and good shower pressure

Carissa United States of America

Staff was extremely friendly. Donna and Jose both kept the bar open later for us and other guests. Beautiful scenery. We were seated next to the windows looking out at the Mississippi River every time we dined!
