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

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’

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.

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!

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!

Birthday Weekend Getaway
We were very impressed with the property and appreciated the cleanliness of it. We had 14 adults (ages 23-28) stay and there was plenty of space to spread out. The 5.5 bathrooms was also a perk. The kitchen is stocked with most utensils and plates needed and the appliances were clean and easy to use. The washer and dryer came in handy when we went to Dittmar Farms on a rainy day but we still enjoyed ourselves! There was plenty of propane for the outdoor grill and spare tanks for use. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our time and our only complaint was only staying for the weekend!

It was a wonderful home. I would highly recommend this home. In fact, I plan on staying there next year. The individuals in my group thought the house was perfect for us. The home owner worked to accommodate us. She was pleasant to work with and always got back to us in a timely manner. Wonderful experience for our group.

Family Fun
We enjoyed the fire pit and the pool table. Several people used the hot tub and enjoyed it. The kitchen was well stocked. On the whole the place was very nice. There were a couple of things that were not up to par. The door going to the sunroom had a tendency to stick snd was hard to open. We could not get into the unit with the code I was given. We had to call and get a new one to enter the property. A floor strip came up between the bedroom on the main floor and the hallway. I would say everyone did enjoy the house and the club. The passes were used by the young people and there is a lot to do in the area. I would recommend the location snd the house. We had a very nice time snd are planning to return to the area next year.

Anniversary trip
Our family gathered in Galena for my parents 60th wedding anniversary. The property had enough room to accommodate our family with comfort. Enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, time on the large deck with the fire pit and lower level screened hot tub. Took the little ones on a goat trek and wagon ride. Access to the recreation center was a plus. Kitchen was well stocked to prepare meals for the crowd. Overall a great stay.
