Charming 1-bedroom house - 2beds - in delightful Hanover with WiFi, AC

10/10 Excellent

"Easy check-in and clean space. It was exactly what we needed for our trip."

LUXURIOUS RANCH, 360 VIEWS, NEAR GALENA TER., 300 ACRES, TRAILS, PONDS, ANIMALS

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed a long weekend stay at the Brixton Ivy Ranch! We were there for a family reunion celebrating our golden wedding anniversary. We had 19 people, and we never once felt that the house was crowded! There was room for everyone. Our host, Mark, was on site and ready to answer any questions that we had. There were animals for the kids to go and enjoy petting and being close to. There is a giant hot tub that provided lots of enjoyment for everyone! A beautiful sand volleyball court was enjoyed by a bunch of us! There is a fun golf course with milk cans for holes!! The Vista overlooking the property is breathtaking! We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets!If I had to say we had any issues, we felt there was not quite enough towels for showering and using the hot tub, however, there are several washers and dryers in the house, so we could run loads as we needed to refresh the towels. If we would come in the future, I think I would bring some additional towels- maybe hot tub towels. Like I said in the beginning- just a wonderful place to stay!!"

The (Veteran Owned) Hanover Hangout Guesthouse - cozy cottage w/ privacy + fun

10/10 Excellent

"House was perfect with a lot of spread out space. It was only myself and my husband but if young kids were with, the upstairs space would make for a nice hideaway. We are very outdoor people and enjoyed the backyard picnic bench to hang and enjoy meals. Lots of amazing things.. like a real jukebox. We didn't use it as we were adventurous in local neighborhood towns. Bringing foil was good as we cooked in to save money. A grill outside was provided but the night was rainy so we just cooked in. Travis was willing to allow us to do a fire outback but the rain kept us in. He has tons of DVD movies to choose and lots of games. We did love the front sunroom and sat in there the evening it rained. The place is not far from Elizabeth where we went to the antique mall.. Galena , where we walked town and went to the Great hot air balloon race. We even took a road trip to the Dubuque botanical garden. next time we'd visit the crystal lake caves in Dubuque as well ,we just didn't have time.Travis is reasonably priced with his home and we prefer the more spread out feel over a hotel. If cooking...bring ziplock bags and foil. Everything was as described. We would definitely stay again when in the area. Drive way was steep but he States in description. We were fine in our escape. I believe he stated street parking was allowed as well. We would definitely always support our veterans and this was a great way to do just that. So book and Don't forget ,thank him for serving!!"

Perfect Summer Escape- 54 Acres of Trail and Pond

10/10 Excellent

"This property was perfect for our family! It was very spacious and clean. There was plenty of things to do for adults and kids. We really enjoyed hanging at the pond sunbathing and fishing. The location was close to everything. We definitely will come back!"

8/10 Good

"The house was beautiful, very clean, and comfortable. Sandy was very nice and answered our questions quickly via text. We were able to use the fire pit one of the evenings, and they stocked the wood, pre-built the fire and helped us light it. The breakfast Sandy cooked for us on Sunday morning was delicious. We did not realize that the house is an actual bed and breakfast, and that the home cooked breakfast meal was part of the rate. That was a lovely bonus. We also did not realize that the hosts lived on the lower level of the house. It turned out to be helpful for helping us with the fire pit, but definitely took us by surprise."

Minutes to Galena. Bird Cottage @ Sorriso Vineyard Galena Illinois

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Two couples and a dog -- we all look forward to returning to the Bird Cottage! The views of rolling hills and sunrises are truly breathtaking. Hearing the birdsong and sitting on the deck overlooking the vineyard is so peaceful. The cottage is immaculate and easily accommodated the four of us. We cooked meals in the full kitchen and also ate out in nearby Elizabeth and Galena. Enjoyed fishing and hiking at Apple River Canyon State Park. The best of all vacation worlds!"

New luxury lodge, 10mile views, on ranch next to Galena Territory, pool, animals

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the ranch for my husband and I’s elopement weekend. It was the perfect space for 14 adults and one toddler - the ‘apartment’ downstairs was perfect as a separate space for the little one. The space is gorgeous, we had catering one night and a private chef for the wedding and the kitchen was excellent for both. The views from the back porch and walks through the ranch properly cannot be beat. Hosts were lovely, communicative and helpful throughout. "
