Wendy and Hal were so hospitable and sweet! They had a dream and made it happen with this B&B and what a WONDERFUL dream it was/is! 7 acres of it! Our stay was relaxing, the house immaculate (and re-decorated I might add, more modern look since the old owners prior to April) and the breakfast was AWESOME! Bacon & Tomato... More

We had a wonderful time in our Hillside cottage which was, I think, on the most beautiful place! We had jacuzzi, small kitchen, fireplace, beautiful bathroom, balcony, trees all around the cottage, etc. The service was awesome, Wendy and Hal are great people, very very nice. We were there for New Year's Eve and we had our 2nd anniversary. It... More

This place is just the absolute chill. The proprietors are laid back and down to Earth, and everything is what a B&B should be. If you're looking for some lax, go to the hawk valley retreat. More

The grounds at this B&B are beautful. The fall colors made for a gorgeous backdrop. So glad we chose to stay in the country away from the hustle & bustle of the town. The innkeepers served two wonderful breakfasts during our stay. The homemade granola was delicious and the thin rolled crepes were especially yummy. I would highly recommend this... More

Great B & B off the beaten path. Fabulous location. Quiet. Romantic. Full of nature. New host & hostess in April 2011 are doing a SUPERB job! Breakfasts could not have been more delicious. Homemade granola was off the charts! We loved it, recommend it and will definitely be back! More

Hal and Wendy are the new owners and they are doing a fantastic job. Don't miss the breakfast - it was awesome and very generous helpings. The Quiche could have been featured in a gourmet magazine. It's a quiet and relaxing secluded area. Highly recommend for a nice romantic getaway. More

As soon as entered the long drive into the retreat I felt knew that enchantment of the surroundings was going to be the bewitching element of our stay. And so 8t was. The fishing pond with numerous species of birds fleeting about and then the warm greeting from Wendy and Hal, our hosts. Then there was the tastefully decorated cottage... More

Hawk Valley was a good value. Terrific breakfasts, spinach, ham, and cheese egg roll ups one day, and baked french toast the next. Yum! The area is very quiet. Wish we had gotten one of the cottages with a jacuzzi. It is about to change ownership. Hope the new owner is as good a host and cook. Jane gave us... More

If your looking for a nice relaxing time, this is the place. The cottages are huge, very well decorated, very clean and a very comfortable king size bed. All kinds of stores & resturaunts in town which is about 12 min. away, 15min. to Walmart and if you want to drive 30 min. there is a casino called Diamond Jo's,... More

Upon extensive research for a B&B in Galena, we decided upon Hawk Valley. This ended up being a great pick! We had intended on skiing at Chestnut Mountain during our stay but due to inclement weather were forced to change our plans. Instead, we spent two days in downtown Galena. We enjoyed the convenient access to downtown from Hawk Valley... More
