My partner and I enjoyed our stay here in Hanover, IL. We loved being able to look out to the Apple River and watch the birds in the mornings. The space was perfect for us. The bed and living area was very cozy, the bathroom met our needs, and the kitchen was great for us to make our breakfast in the morning. Communication with Liz & Shane was easy. They always responded promptly and provided an amazing list of suggestions to meet our needs. The check-in and check-out process was also very easy.We absolutely enjoyed our stay here and definitely recommend for others if they're visiting the area.
It was the decor that sold me! The vibe of the apartment was so chill, it was exactly what we needed - and it was exactly like the pictures. Liz and Shane answered every message promptly, the place was super clean, accommodating, and cozy. The attention to small details were full of thoughtfulness and kindness. We went horseback riding at the Shenandoah Riding Center, which we highly recommend. It was a beautiful drive to Galena, and although it's about 20 minutes there the scenery made it seem shorter. The neighborhood folks were so sweet, and we felt very safe in our surroundings. It was the perfect stay, and we would highly recommend Liz and Shane as hosts and their accommodations.
Great location in a quiet town mid way between Mississippi Palisades State Park and Galena. Great views overlooking the Apple River outside our windows.
Very cozy, âwarmâ, inviting property. Nicely decorated and well put together. Has everything you need for a nice stay + comfy bed. Hosts were very thoughtful including all the personal items you may have left at home. Extremely quiet and private stay!
Hosts were very accommodating and a breeze to work with. Will definitely stay again.
Liz and Shane were great! They gave multiple recommendations for food (Fried Green Tomatoes was delicious) and the recommendation for hiking delivered as well. The place had all the amenities we needed and then some!
My husband and I stayed at the apartment for 3 nights. It was very cosy, clean and near the center of Hanover. We liked it very much. Liz and Shane were very friendly. Thanks a lot!
Perfect place for my best friend to meet me for a girls weekend. Galena was 20 minutes to the north and Savanna was 10 minutes to the south. Loved the proximity to Mississippi Palisades Park as well as kayaking on the Mississippi!
The apartment overlooks the river and was easy to access. Hanover is a quiet town and a little bit off the beaten path, which is what we were looking for. With just a short 20-25 minute drive to Galena, we were in close proximity to restaurants and the shopping area there, as well as some nearby nature areas in Hanover. The hosts were available when we needed them and the apartment had all of the basic amenities we could ask for.
We enjoyed our stay!
We loved what we called the Best of the Brady Bunch stay : )
Nothing to do with the landlords but there were a couple yelling last night that made us wonder if we should go out. Once we did the yelling stopped.
Thank you again!
I attended training at a local FWS refuge. The apartment was only a few miles from the training site and what a great spot!
Quiet, Peaceful, Scenic, and a welcome place to unwind. I definitely recommend this spot if you want a small town quiet setting. Waterfall outside of the window doesnât hurt the vibe.
Owners are super responsive and everything was as advertised.

Everything was 10/10 for my partner and I. The place was amazingly clean. My Gf and I loved the mid century theme. Access was super easy, although a little confusion on my part. But the property owners were quick to respond and help out. I loved the quiet atmosphere of little hanover. Even though we didnt need anything. Every little detail was thought out and supplies were provided. Great places to eat all around and not too far to drive. All in all, we will definitely be staying here again and urge anyone thinking about booking this place, to hurry up and do it. You will not regret.
We stayed midweek early May before the tourist season starts. There isnât much going on in Hanover - itâs a very quiet community off the beaten path. The apartment was decorated in a mid-century style with large picture windows that offer a beautiful view of the River. The host thought of everything, 2 charging stations, ample toiletries and extras if you forgot anything. I forgot deodorant. There was also a large vintage suitcase filled with puzzles and games which is a really thoughtful addition. The kitchen was well prepped with anything one might need and we loved the vintage look throughout. One of my favorite rentals ever!
