This was a terrific vaca home for our family! The location is beautiful and a quick drive to the Territory amenities. The kitchen is large and well stocked with kitchenware. The high ceilings, spacious windows, large bedrooms and bathrooms, multiple social areas indoors and outdoors, hot tub and lawn made everyone very comfortable! It is very clean and well maintained. Communication with the owner was prompt, and access and use are explained clearly. We would stay here again!

Great family experience

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.

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!
