Let's do a little #throwbackThursday in the Somerset Cottage. The Somerset is our largest cottage with a separate bedroom. It looks just a little different from when it was first built, circa 2004. #GalenaIL #GalenaIllinois #Galena #GalenaCountry #EnjoyIllinois #Midwest #MidwestExploring

Not sure who is enjoying the sunshine more, the goats or the chickens. #goats #chickensofinstigram #RelaxRestoreExplore #BreakfastInTheBarn #GalenaIL #GalenaIllinois #Galena #GalenaCountry #EnjoyIllinois #Midwest #MidwestExploring #MidwestMoment #MidwestIsBest #GalenaBedAndBreakfast

The Gazebo is open for the season! Everything has been powerwashed, and the screens are up. Enjoy the sights and sounds of nature while relaxing in comfort.

We are just a couple of weeks away from our first #springwedding of the year. Hopefully, the weather will be as nice as it was for last year's first spring wedding. #EventBarn #WeddingBarn #GalenaIL #GalenaIllinois #Galena #GalenaCountry #EnjoyIllinois #Midwest #MidwestExploring #MidwestMoment

Nothing says rise and shine like a homemade breakfast. How about our Lemon-Blueberry German Pancake with some Bacon and Maple Syrup?

That magic moment as the last of the sunset is still in the sky. There is a soft glow about Hawk Valley Retreat & Cottages.

After the storm, the sun streams through the willow, lighting it up.
