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!

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

This property does not look as roomy as it is from the picture. The layout is great and served our family reunion perfectly. We would definitely book it again.

We fully enjoyed our stay at Galena Territory again this year! This is our 3rd year in a row at the Territory's, and the 1st time at this house, which was Exceptional. Kitchen, Dinning Room, large Family Room and 6 bedrooms, what more could you ask for. Very quite area and private home, we enjoyed the surroundings. Looking forward to stay at this home again. Thank you so much!

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.

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!

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!

This property is nice but there are a lot of rules and kinda ridiculous ones too. You can only use up to 8 trash bags but they only give you six. The toilet is the Scott very cheap paper. The layout on the main floor is very odd but the downstairs is very nice. The kids loves which is the main reason we go

This property is beyond perfect for big groups with plenty of room for everyone to sleep and have their own space. The kitchen is huge and having a dining room was lovely for a large group. Jennifer was extremely helpful and responsive.

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’

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!
