I had an incredible stay at this resort! The atmosphere was peaceful, the staff went above and beyond, and the studio suite offered so much more than a basic hotel room. However, the water had a noticeable sulfur smell, which was a downside. Still, the amenities and comfort of the room made up for it. I'm excited to return in the future, especially once the improvements are all complete.

The studio suite was spacious and much more than just a basic hotel room. It had a comfortable Murphy bed and a nice kitchen setup, but keep in mind that the murphy bed might not be the most comfortable long-term.

Nestled in a quiet, wooded area, the location is beautiful. It felt really serene, but it is about a 15-minute drive to the nearest grocery stores, so plan accordingly.

We cooked most of our meals, and the kitchen was well-equipped. We did try Happy Joe's pizza, which was disappointing, but Casey's Pizza nearby was a hit!

The resort has great facilities including a spacious game room and a movie rental area. The indoor pool and hot tub looked promising, although some parts were under renovation.

I had an excellent experience at LeFevre, where the spacious three-bedroom garden apartment was immaculate and nicely decorated. The large veranda with beautiful views was a real highlight. Unfortunately, my experience at the Wyndham Worldmark in Galena was quite the opposite; the lack of water and cleanliness issues made it a very disappointing stay. Overall, LeFevre stands out as a perfect spot, while I would avoid the Worldmark location.

We had such a delightful time at the resort! The place was clean, and the rooms were quite comfortable. The amenities, especially the indoor pool and gym, added to our enjoyment. However, there were some minor issues with the layout of the kitchen and some construction happening that was a bit distracting. Overall, it's a lovely spot for a getaway, and we appreciated the great service from the staff.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. The location was nice, nestled in a quiet wooded area and right next to a golf course with beautiful views. My room had a spacious layout and a balcony that showcased some great scenery. However, the lack of hot water was a huge letdown, and I expected better cleanliness standards. Overall, it was okay but definitely not as luxurious as I hoped.

My stay at the resort was overall enjoyable with a peaceful atmosphere and fantastic staff. The studio suite was spacious and comfortable, especially with the Murphy bed. However, there were some issues with the well water and cleanliness that could use improvement. The location was delightful, surrounded by beautiful nature, but a bit of a drive to town.
