Eagle Ridge in Galena is really nice.  There are many shops and restaurants in town.  Lake Carroll is also in that area and is a really pretty area.  I'm not sure if they have cottages available for rent, though.

I know Galena has winery places and has a big wine tasting weekend thing coming up.  Check that area out!

Yep; it's about 2hr45min west of Chicago.  We went there for NYE and had a great time.  I'm not sure about rental properties there; but I think it would be fun for a girls wknd!  If you go, eat at Fried Green Tomatoes; delicious!

We stayed at the DeSoto Hotel downtown; which is nice because you wouldn't need to drive anywhere then.

We were at Benjamins at midnight; it was a mixed crowd.  It kind of was like a towny bar, but there were girls in their mid 20's in heels dancing too.  I believe there are wineyards near by you could do a tour of.  There's a winery in town than has a bar/samples.

One eleven main was also a bit more upscale for food and bar: <a href="http://www.oneelevenmain.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.oneelevenmain.com/</a>
