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.
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!
We had a great stay at The Sweet Escape with our multi-generational family. The house was clean and accommodated all of us comfortably with several spaces to hang out and enjoy. Great communication with easy arrival and departure instructions. We will be back!
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!
Very clean & wonderful space for our large family. We enjoyed the deck and fire pit. Nice working kitchen where we could cook and all gather. Large dining table perfect for games.
For our annual gathering to celebrate our birthdays, this house met all our needs. Itâs wonderful to find a place that can accommodate 7 individuals comfortably.
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 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.
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
We started hosting vacationers in 2018 and love it! It is fun to welcome different groups into our home so they too can explore this beautiful area and enjoy the peace and nature that abounds in the Territory.
We live in Dubuque, Iowa and come over frequently to this area to relax.
We loved the layout of the home, large kitchen and the screened in porch around the hot tub. The privacy of the trees and the wildlife that it attracts is fun to watch.
Included with the rental of Sweet Escape are 10 passes to The Galena Territory amenities. This includes indoor and outdoor pools, tennis courts, fishing lake, playground equipment and over 24 miles of trails.
