Came out to the Goldmoor Inn and Galena for me and my husband‘s one year anniversary! What a secluded and peaceful place. We stayed in one of the log cabins and they were so cute! Everyone at the resort was very kind and eager to help. Very accommodating as well. The breakfast was so cute and very tasty. We tried the massages at the spa as well. I had a great massage, but unfortunately, my husband didn’t have a great experience with his. But overall, we had a great stay! Highly recommend.
