Great family experience

Place for all 10 of us to play games together. Also provides a space for the teenagers to hang out together in the basement. Has everything one needs in the kitchen. All the things to do at the clubhouse ten minutes away is a big plus for the kids 9-22 in the family.

Family get together

The only concern we had were the showers. The floors were very slippery and almost dangerous. There were some no slip strips but they did not cover enough of the surface. Overall we loved the building and the spaciousness. Even with so many people it never felt like there was a crowding of spaces. We loved it!

This was our third stay at this property. We are a group of friends that visits every year.

The property is great and accommodates our group of 10. The only issue we have is the heating system. Hope the owners address this.

Perfect for Family Holiday

Our extended family of 11 stayed here in December and the place was perfect! Even though the weather outside was frightful, there was so much right on site to keep everyone entertained. We especially enjoyed the pool table, hot tub, fire place, and big dining room table for family games. It was also great to use the pool and game room at the club house. The beds were all very comfortable and well-arranged in the house so that families could claim some private space and still hang out together in the shared areas. All around a wonderful place for our family to celebrate the holidays!

Great for large groups

4 families with adults and kids ranging from 1-15yr stayed here and we had an absolutely fantastic time. We visited the Galena area yearly; this was the best house we stayed at. From the hot tub, to the large family room, to the multiple bedrooms/bathrooms,firepit, and gas grill, we all loved our time in Sweet Escape and will come back to here again every year!

Post Christmas Getaway

Our extended family had a great stay at the Sweet Escape! Each adult couple had their own bedroom and bathroom and there were plenty of common spaces for playing games, watching TV, and doing puzzles. The hot tub was a bonus, as were the passes for the indoor pool and fitness center. Recommend this stay for large or small groups!
