Great room. Owners were very outgoing and nice. Close to a fee gas stations. Check out mt.carroll while you're here... Cool haunted house and nice restaurant. Great hot tub. Very private also. It's a little pricier than the surrounding places but definitely worth the money. I would come back again for sure

The owners were very friendly and make us feel comfortable on their property. We've been to many cabins in the midwest and these were among the top of the list. We will definately be back. Nice little winery a bit down the road was quite fun for even those like myself who don't drink wine. It was a nice change... More

We stayed for four nights and had a wonderful time. The location is perfect to visit Galena and the surrounding area. The owners are so helpful...any issues were quickly taken care of without hesitation! It's a peaceful setting in the woods and the grounds are maintained. I was traveling with a special needs child and the owners paid careful attention... More

This is a great get away for families without young childern. Adult activities like bags, vb, and the hot tub sooth the adult traveler, but there isn't really anything for little children to do. What this resort is missing is a pool.

We just returned from a weekend stay at Hickory Hideaway. Everything was terrific - the luxury cabin, the grounds, the hosts (Sherry and George) - and we would return without hestitation! This is a wonderful place to unwind and slow down. We were looking for a location that would offer some activities but we wanted privacy and relaxation too. This... More

I cannot say enough good things about this place. The cabins are immaculately clean, cozy and extremely comfortable. The rate was amazing for the amenities. The owners were friendly and nice, while still giving guests more than enough privacy. I would highly recommend the hideaway for romantic getaways.

The only thing I could say about our stay that I didn't like was that it wasn't long enough! The pictures on the website didn't do the place justice. I was extremely impressed with the luxury cabin that we stayed in. And it was a trip for our anniversary, and Sherry and George made our stay even more amazing. They... More
