Sandy is a super hostess! Quick to respond to all our questions. Very friendly and helpful and, yet, very respectful of our time and privacy. Breakfasts were outstanding! A nice evening getaway from the hustle and bustle of Galena. Elizabeth has a charm of its own.

Lovely place to get away

This is a charming apartment that is wonderful for a getaway. The beds were comfortable. The house was bright and cheery. Sandy was so friendly and helpful - and the breakfasts were wonderful. Sandy was also very accommodating to our special dietary needs. It was a quick drive to Elizabeth, but we were there for a writer's retreat, so we stayed home most of the time. I would highly recommend it.
