I just returned from taking myself to a fitness ranch/spa in honor of a rather significant birthday!! I decided that a celebration was in order for getting there!! And as I worked out and enjoyed some spa treatments, the thought crossed my mind: a few days at Wild Clover and the Irish Cottage could do great things for one's health and wellness without traveling as far as I did. Staying close to home for vacations and holidays has a much greater appeal these days, for many reasons.
So as I thought about that idea, here is what I came up with: 1. a fabulous pool and workout room at the hotel would allow you the chance to work out as often as you wished. 2. there is a great trail for walking, biking or jogging right along the river in Galena for some outdoor fitness work. 3. rent a canoe or kayak at Fever River Outfitters for some great upper body work. 4. the hot tub at the hotel will take care of those aches and pains after a vigorous workout. 5. And the spa..yes the spa...two or three days would give you plenty of time for self care and relaxation with a luxurious pedicure, fabulous massage, a delicious scrub or wrap and a facial to get that skin ready for the coming fall. How about trying a new style or color? And have you tried mineral makeup, speaking of healthy!!! 6. shopping and eating opportunities abound in Galena; artists and galleries are everywhere. You can explore Jo Daviess county for many other treasures. Check it out at www.galena.org or talk to one of our spa experts to help you plan your time. Romantic getaways or girlfriend getaways or just a one person retreat...we can help you !!1
We all deserve and need a break; this year come to Galena and have some money left to spend on yourself and your renewal, whatever that may look like!!! As I write this, I think to myself: I have this in my own location so I am going to do a "spa-cation" every week (well maybe not every week!!)
