Longwood. What can we say? There is a feel to it. Secluded, private, relaxing. The vaulted ceilings, the custom woodwork, all owner built and managed. There is an attention to detail that gives this home its feel. It's perfect to entertain or just to get away and enjoy the Galena Territory and surrounding communities.

Room for the whole crew. 🏡✨

6 bedrooms of space to spread out, vaulted wood-beam ceilings overhead, and a chef-ready kitchen built for big breakfasts and late-night conversations. Longwood is where reunions, retreats, and long weekends turn into memories nobody wants to leave behind.

🌅 This is what the end of a great day looks like at Longwood.

Nobody designed this room to look good in a photo. The owner built it to feel good in person — and there's a difference you notice the moment you walk in.

Six bedrooms. Owner built. Owner managed. Every detail intentional, every stay personal.

🏙️ 12 people. Two 6-bedroom homes. And less than 20 minutes to all of this.

When you book Longwood or Blackhawk, Dubuque comes with it. Walk the Mississippi Riverwalk, grab dinner on the waterfront, try your luck at Diamond Jo Casino or Q Casino, and still make it back to the hills of Galena in time for a nightcap on the deck.

You're not choosing between a peaceful retreat and a good time out — you get both. That's the Stay Galena difference.

🐿️ He found the peanut plate and he is not leaving anytime soon.

Honestly, same energy we want for every guest at Longwood and Blackhawk — pull up, get comfortable, and stay a while. No one's in a hurry here.

🍽️ Some gatherings deserve more than a restaurant.

A table set just right. The people you actually want around you. A home big enough that nobody's rushing out the door at the end of the night.

Longwood and Blackhawk are owner-built and owner-managed — six bedrooms across two homes designed from the ground up with exactly this kind of moment in mind. No property management company. No cookie-cutter experience. Just a home someone built with care and still looks after personally.

Whatever you're celebrating, celebrate it here. StayGalena.com

🐿️ Word got out about the snack plate.

One squirrel, a couple of chipmunks, and apparently a standing reservation nobody told us about. They pulled up, sorted out who gets what, and got right to it — one happy family.

This is the Galena hills in the summer. The wildlife is thriving, the snack bar is open, and there's always room for one more at the table. Longwood and Blackhawk, 6 bedrooms, 6+ baths, plenty of entertaining space and room for everyone at the table.

🇺🇸 America turns 250 today - and we can't think of a better place to celebrate than right here in the hills of Galena.

Good food, good people, and fireworks over some of the prettiest countryside in the Midwest. That's the kind of 4th we're here for.

From our homes to yours - Happy Independence Day! 🎆
