A short drive out of town from Galena, Hawk Valley Retreat and Cottages has all the peace and quiet of a rural setting, combined with the convenience of a quick drive into town. The innkeepers, Hal and Wendy are passionate about their place and go the extra mile to insure their guests have a superb experience.

This scenic B&B is awesome! Wendy and Hal are so nice, and great about being friendly and sociable, but letting you and your partner have the alone time you came to get in the first place. The cottage we stayed in was beautiful, clean and had great amenities! Plus, the breakfast was delicious!

The room was beautiful and clean, the breakfasts fantastic, the hosts down to earth and social, the location quiet, breathtaking, and nature-filled...what was not to like? My husband and I decided that we would make this an annual trip! Thank you so much Hal and Wendy for an exceptional trip!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Love the option of staying in a room in the main house or cottage, if you want more privacy. Surrounding landscape is very pretty and serene. Breakfasts were amazing, delicious and very filling. Hal and Wendy were terrific hosts. Made us feel very welcome our entire visit. They're also very knowledgeable and provide great suggestions for activities... More

This was a great combination of private cottage and B & B amenities. We had our own space but also had a lovely breakfast in the main house. The setting was beautiful with a private porch, nice views, a walking path, wildlife and a pond. I spent an entire afternoon on the porch, reading and listening to the breeze in... More

Hawk Valley combines the best of a Cottage Retreat and a B&B. With your own cottage (three rooms are available in the main house if you prefer) you have privacy, fast internet and satellite TV, and don't have to visit with strangers in the hallways - but also get the caring attention of the Inn Keepers, Wendy & Hal at...

My husband and I lucked out to get last minute reservation because of a cancellation when we went for an impromptu get away weekend to Galena. Lovely hosts, wonderful accommodations ( clean, comfy, pleasant) and beautiful grounds and surroundings. Breakfast was amazing...we loved the Marshal Fields pancakes. We will most definitely be back and make reservations ahead of time so... More

My girlfriend Ashely and I had an amazing time visiting Hawk Valley Retreat! We rented the Somerset cottage for a weekend getaway and it was worth every penny - and then some! The cottage was beautiful and the view... Breath-taking. Coming from the city it was a breath of fresh air (literally & figuratively!). Their cooking and hospitality were top-notch... More

Truly a delightful experience. Breakfasts were delicious. We opted for the candlelight dinner. It would rival any gourmet restuarant. Hal and Wendy were the quintessential hosts. We can't wait to go back with friends. Cannot say enough great things! Mike and Clarice Leonard
