Little Cabin in the Woods

After a LONG last few months, Greg and I went away for a little weekend retreat. It turned out to be just what the doctor ordered. We stayed 2 nights at this log cabin at the Goldmoor Inn just outside of Galena. It was very nice and a great compromise between luxurious and homey. They definately have the fine details down to make your stay extra special. When we pulled up to the inn the innkeeper came out to greet us at the car. Then after check-in she met us at the cabin to show us around the place and how everything worked. All of the extra little amenities provided in the room were nice touches. It was definately the CLEANEST place I have ever stayed. The bed and bedding were top notch. In fact, we loved the bedding so much that it is what we asked my parents to give us for Christmas! They are always looking for ideas and this was something we BOTH loved--COZY! If you are looking for great little getaway for two I would recommend the Goldmoor, no doubt! They have two of the cabins, a couple of cottages and then the main inn has several suites. Breakfast was included with your stay. You can eat in the main dining room or have it delivered to you. The first day they noticed we hadn't eaten and called our room to see if we were ready to have it delivered. And, it was great food! The refrigerator was stocked with water, soda, and juice--all complimentary. We headed to downtown Galena a couple of different times. It was about 8 miles away. The fireplace, the whirlpool in the living room, the cute little kitchen, nice bathroom, the most comfortable bed, the privateness all made this a perfect getaway. And, on Sunday when we woke up it was snowing--made me wish we were staying one more night!
