Sandy is on top of everything! Not to mention the amazing breakfasts. And Dave was out at 7:30 in the morning shoveling eight inches of snow from the driveway to make sure we were able to leave at the time we wanted. Second visit at Derinda House, and there will be many more in the years to come!

This was a great place to stay. Sandy made us delicious breakfast on two of our days. We wanted to explore the town for breakfast on our other day. She was very informative about things to go see and places to visit around Elizabeth and Galena. She was a delight to talk to. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area. It was only 20 minutes to Galena.
