Hawk Valley Retreat & Cottages Bed and Breakfast

You are invited to relax, restore and explore our Galena Illinois Bed and Breakfast at Hawk Valley Retreat & Cottages, a nature lover’s destination. We are located just 8 miles east of downtown Galena. Stroll our 10 secluded acres of meadows and gardens. Complete with a pond, walking trail, panoramic valley, and sunset views. Watch the birds, enjoy the porch swing, or relax in our gazebo, and make it your own private haven.

At Hawk Valley Retreat & Cottages your accommodation choices include three rooms in the main house or four private cottages. We also have a renovated barn that is available through full property rental or for day events.

Each morning, wake up to a hearty full breakfast with home-baked pastries which is served in  our renovated turn of the century barn 

Looking for an Elopement or Micro wedding?  We have the perfect spot to make your day special. 

"When we decided (and it was a quick decision) that we wanted a lifestyle change, we decided on a Bed and Breakfast. We traveled the country and finally found Hawk Valley Retreat. After that, it was never a question about where we would settle, and we have never looked back.

We invite you to join us in our little retreat away from life, where you can relax and pretend that the rest of the world doesn’t exist (at least for a few days)."

John and Jim, your hosts
