Something for everyone
The actual house and surroundings totally lived up to its reviews and information. It was perfect for our family, from the youngest at 8 to the oldest at 71. The Owners' Club passes were a great benefit for the kids and teenagers.

Perfect Accomodation
We had a large group get together, the location to DT Galena was quick and easy, the home was large with plenty of space for everyone. The hot tub was a bonus! The owner was super responsive and so helpful. Would love to stay again in the future!

Family Retreat
Sweet Escapes is an amazing! The house was clean, spacious and accommodations were perfect for 5 couples. We sat around the fire pit, rented a pontoon, some went into Galena to shop, we played bags (we brought), played games, enjoyed the hot tub, and just enjoyed being together. Everyone wants to come back next year! Thank you for a wonderful experience’

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!

Overall it was a great stay! The home is gorgeous, just like the pictures. Owner was very easy to reach and work with. Love that it is sort of tucked away and not super close to neighbors.

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!

Family Thanksgiving
This was our fourth time staying! We love it in the late fall just as much as we do in the early summer. Enough space for older parents and three familes with adult and young adults to stay comfortably. Kitchen well stocked with the pans and things we needed to cook a large Thanksgiving dinner and house was clean! Perfect stay!

Good Christmas getaway
11 members of our extended family stayed for a few days between Christmas and New Years. House was plenty large for all of us and had a large dining table which we needed for meals and games. Pool table and cues were in good shape and hot tub was great.
