Accommodations

The Eagle Ridge Resort and Spa is located approximately 6 miles from the town of Galena.  The Resort is located on 6,800 acres in the rolling hills of an area left untouched by ancient glaciers.  The results are dramatic rocky bluffs, gently rolling hills, and wooded valleys that are home to diverse plant and wildlife.

Accommodations for Symposium participants have been arranged in hotel rooms in the main Inn and in two- and three- bedroom townhouse Villas. All reservations will be assigned based on arrival/departure dates, requested accommodations, and availability.  Once all Inn rooms are filled, you will be partnered (by Fermilab) with another guest in a shared Villa.

All Inn rooms are just steps away from the indoor swimming pool, fitness center, Stonedrift Spa, Woodlands Restaurant, Pisano's Cafe, and many other amenities.  All Inn rooms include:  coffee maker with complimentary coffee, iron and ironing board, hairdryer, bottled water, LodgeNet movies available for a fee, and plush terry-cloth robes available on request.

Each Villa is fully furnished with a living room, fully-equipped kitchen, fireplace, barbecue grill, microwave oven, Color TV/VCR and or DVD player, daily maid service, complimentary "welcome coffee" and 24-hour security.  The Villas are located within easy walking distance to the Inn.  Participants will share Villas with each participant having a private bedroom and bathroom.
