Summary: We had a wonderful weekend stay at the Lodge with a group of 10 adults. Everyone appreciated having their own bedroom and plenty of bathrooms, which is a rare and welcome setup for larger groups. The space is impressively roomy both inside and out, offering lots of comfortable areas to gather or enjoy a quiet moment.The decor is clean and practical, no frills, just exactly what a group like ours needed to relax and reconnect. Everything felt intentional and easy to settle into. One of our favorite moments was sipping coffee on the covered patio during a rainy morning—peaceful, cozy, and exactly the kind of reset we came for. The third-floor suite is especially nice. It is spacious and tucked away for anyone wanting extra privacy. We made a day trip to Dyersville for the Ghost Game at the Field of Dreams (highly recommend for wholesome fun) and explored Galena just 10–15 minutes away, which is a charming town with great shops and restaurants.Overall, the Lodge’s quiet setting and thoughtful layout made for a perfect retreat. We’d absolutely stay again.
