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!

Thanksgiving Holiday
Overall the house was large and there was plenty of room for our large family. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed to prepare a large Thanksgiving meal. Everything was clean, except for the floors. They were very dirty and the carpeting also is very dirty and stained. Everyone's socks were black.The family room downstairs was spacious and nice for the kids to hang out. Everyone liked the pool table. The host was very responsive with questions.

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!
