Notes:
Give Wrangler Roger your updated arrival time (at 608-331-0000). This helps us time our chores so we are ready to properly greet you on arrival. 
——–
We’ll come out with our friendly dogs for a “sniff and greet.” Bessie is a German Shepard, Nala and Simba are mini Dachshunds.
——–
We will expect you to arrive at your scheduled time. Please keep us updated if your arrival time changes so we can plan accordingly. Please don’t arrive early. If you get ahead of schedule and have a few minutes to kill, I recommend driving south one mile along scenic River Road to the bottom of Chestnut Mountain ski resort. They have a nice pier that they allow the public to use.
——–
Please, please, watch for our little dogs, pigs, ducks, and chickens as you come and go in the parking area, especially backing up. The dogs often stand or sit in driver blind spots under tires. Please do not pet our neighbor’s horses or go onto their private property. Please don’t let kids chase the ducks or chickens. Please do not feed any of the animals unless supervised by a wrangler. They can develop bad habits or become ill.
 If you are using Google Maps
Google Maps erroneously directs users into the driveway of the Goldmoor Inn on the hill above us. Enter 2691 S River Road, Galena IL and you will get correct directions.

We are working to get this glitch corrected on Google Maps. Sorry for any inconvenience.
