This full-service resort is located eight miles southeast of Galena on a wooded palisade overlooking the Majestic Mississippi River. Amenities include an indoor pool, whirlpool, sauna, and on-site restaurants & lounge.
Perched high on a wooded bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, Chestnut Mountain Resort is a premier four-season destination where adventure meets unforgettable scenery. Just minutes from downtown Galena, this full-service resort offers year-round experiences—from heart-pounding outdoor recreation to relaxing stays with sweeping river views.
In the winter, Chestnut Mountain transforms into a Midwest favorite for skiing and snowboarding, featuring nearly 20 trails, a terrain park, and lessons for all skill levels across 220 acres of rolling terrain. When the snow melts, the resort comes alive with warm-weather adventures including the Alpine Slide, Soaring Eagle Zipline, mountain biking, hiking trails, river cruises, and more—all set against the stunning backdrop of the Mississippi River Valley. Whether you’re chasing adrenaline or simply soaking in the scenery, Chestnut Mountain delivers a one-of-a-kind Galena Country experience.
