Goldmoor Inn

We stayed here to celebrate our birthdays at the Irish Country Cottage. The entire staff, grounds and food were perfection! The beautiful river stone used around the fireplace was continued into the bathroom shower as a secret in shower waterfall. The room had so many sweet touches from the cookies at checking in, to our in room dinner and breakfast. We absolutely loved everything we had the pleasure to eat here! The food was AMAZING. The view from our private porch made this cottage extra special. We observed all kinds of wildlife and got to watch the horses play in the stables too. It was a magical stay! Rooms: Themed suites. Jacuzzis. Great views. Nearby activities: Galena is less than 15 minutes away. There are tons of shops to visit. Gorgeous city to explore. Walkability: Beautiful grounds to take a stroll. Abundance of wildlife and nature to view. Food & drinks: Best birthday dinner ever. Perfectly cooked. Room service available. Worth every penny.

A profoundly embarrassing and disappointing experience. I made a reservation for my wifes birthday. She has been missing unique American fare so I decided to make the 1.5 hour trip to go to the Goldmoor. She was ecstatic once she saw the menu, as was I. We arrived and were greeted by a gentleman (perhaps the owner, which makes recalling the interaction even more infuriating), who asked us upon arrival if we were sisters. I politely said no. He then went on to say, I could have sworn you were sisters. After saying a second time we werent, he said, are you sure? By the time, I was over the evening already and we hadnt even been shown our table yet. There are three profoundly important questions for the owner (?) to consider: First, is this a standardized question for every twosome that walks through the door? Put differently, I would be curious if the two couples around us were asked the same question. If not, then what is the explanation for asking two women if they are related and then more or less badgering them about it when they said no the first time? Second, this man then went around and asked every table around ours if they were ok and enjoying their time. He skipped our table every time he walked around. What is the explanation for that behavior? Third, what has happened in the past that has led someone to believe that they are exempt from making an impact on others with their behavior? This ridiculous interaction set the mood and tone of our entire $200.00 meal. Unfortunately, we do not support or recommend places that have staff who carry out microaggressions. This was an embarrassing and uncalled for interaction. My wife and I just wanted to celebrate a birthday, but instead we were met with weird questions about if we were related, then not believed when we said no. This place is interpersonally gross and I regret not walking out the second this person opened his mouth and failed to apologize. For reference, my wife is from the Middle East and Im a white red head from the Midwest. Two women walk into a restaurant. Thats it. Thats the sentence. Grow up.

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary in the Leafland cabin. It was amazing! The inn was beautiful and the cabin was wonderful! Everyone was so nice and really paid attention to the small details. When we opened the door to the cabin, a warm fire and Christmas music greeted us. We spent the weekend in our own little world appreciating all the thought the inn put into our stay. I definitely recommend this for a wonderful getaway!!

My husband and I stayed at the Goldmoore Inn during NYE. We had a wonderful suite overlooking the beautiful estate and the service and food were outstanding. We will definitely visit the Inn again!
