Our upscale Ranch style home sits just 50 feet back from 183 feet of sugar sand beach featuring a Western view of soaring bald eagles, loons, and spectacular sunsets. Our panoramic front porch is located in Wilson Bay just inside Green Point on the quiet waters of Lost Land Lake, and the Chequamegon National Forest is our surrounding Northwoods home.

  • My wife and I along with my son, his wife and my granddaughter recently spent a wonderful week at this property. The property is even more beautiful and functional than shown in the the VRBO listing and the owners website. We have rented numerous properties found on VRB0 in the past, but have never worked with someone as organized and responsive as Rob. Everything is detailed for you and the house is set up perfectly and well supplied for your stay. Cooking in this kitchen is like being at home. The great room is not only funtional but also very beautiful. The bedrooms and bathroom facilities are top notch. The screeened in porch lets you enjoy the quiet and beauty of the lake without having to worry about the evening bugs. The word quiet lakes is used to describe the 10 mph speedlimit but can also be used to describe the quiet and peace found in these surroundings. Wildlife including deer, fox, otters, eagles, loons, ducks and geese are abundant, and are usually the only sounds you here on the lake. This is a first rate property with a first rate owner, and is one of the few vacations we have ever taken were we came back totally rested and relaxed. This was a first class experience highlighted by the home and the overall experience.

  • We vacationed from July 11 - July 18 at Our Great Escape with our children and grandchildren. Rob and his staff have renting out a vacation home down to an art - no details are overlooked! From a Great Blue Heron walking on the dock to the fox running through the yard (and a BEAR sighted down the road along with deer with fawns) - what a nature adventure for us. We packed about 3 weeks of fun into our 1 week vacation. We would recommend this "vacation spot" to anyone - bring your smiles and adventure caps with you!!

  • Awesome time in Hayward, WI on Lost Land Lake. This place is beautiful and the setting is serene. Fox, deer, bear, turtles....and even a few muskies! This piece of luxury in the north woods was a great find.

  • Dear Rob, Again we would like to thank you for letting us share "Our Great Escape". It is our second trip to your lovely home. Our children and grand children were delighted with the luxurious and spacious "Up North" accommodations. The kitchen and dining area were perfect for our large family. The huge, comfortable great room area was enjoyed by everyone...espically by our grand babies. One of them did her first crawling there! What wonderful memories! It was a perfect setting for our family get-together. We saw three fox, lots of ducks,loons, and other wildlife. The pontoon boat we rented was perfect for fishing and cruising. All and all we had a wonderful time and made lots fond memories. Thank you for everything, Salem and Bunny Markos La Crosse, WI

  • We loved every minute of our week in this sunny and welcoming home on Lost Land Lake. The sunrises and sunsets are breathtaking and the wildlife viewing is terrific. We spent hours on the screened porch or just sitting on the dock reading, fishing and feeding the baby ducks. At night it was cool enough to make a fire in the beautiful fieldstone fireplace. The cabin is perfect--everything we needed was right there. We were able to rent a pontoon for the week from Wilson's Bay and Lost Land and Teal Lakes are perfect for cruising and fishing. We're hoping to return some time in Sept. or Oct. to see the beauty of the lake and woods in the Fall. We also enjoyed a trip into Hayward to see the shops and try out the restaurants. We had a great time and can't wait to return to Our Great Escape!

  • If you are on the fence about Our Great Escape, fall off and sign up! The brochure pictures do not do this fine lakehouse justice. We absolutely loved our week at "the house". The grandkids loved the beach area. They enjoyed feeding the ducks, and fishing off the dock. As a side show, it was funny watching the fox kit chasing the ducklings in an attempt to capture its own meal. It even sunbathed on the dock a few times. Fishing on the lake is wonderful as well. Excellent for pan fish, bass, and musky. Our stay here was a wish come true for us, as we have loved looking at the home for years from the lake, as we would fish our way around the bay. The quiet, wildlife, and the true hominess of Our Great Escape made for a dream vacation. Make it yours!

  • This was our first time at Our Great Escape. We stayed four days. Upon arrival, we noticed how bright, airy and clean the house was. The extra effort that was taken to make you feel welcome was apparent. We felt at home right from the start. Jim fished, I read, we walked, we watched the ducks, loons and deer. Our only regret was that it was over way too fast. Next year, Lord willing, we plan to stay a full week. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us.

The screen porch was a hit for guilting and a game of Uno Attack. Grandpa enjoyed reading out there. We were blessed to have found this home so well furnished, thank you.

  • Comment Text: “Our Great Escape” is just the right combination of modern convenience and rustic beauty. Located in a choice location on Lost Land Lake, this spacious cabin comfortably accommodated our group of 10. While the men were fishing for Muskie, Northern, Crappie and Bass on one of the area’s premier “quiet lakes,” the ladies enjoyed sunbathing, swimming, relaxing on the porch, bike riding and scenic walks. One morning we were thrilled to see a red fox as we walked along one of the many paths in the area. And what would a vacation be without shopping? Nearby Hayward is full of northern charm, sporting some interesting shops, a delicious bakery, some of the best ice cream in Wisconsin and a Muskie Museum for the diehard fishermen in our group. At night we enjoyed sitting around the fire pit eating smores, relaxing in the great room playing one of the many board games provided by the owners and enjoying movies on the 42” big screen television. We can confidently say that the owners of “Great Escape” provide every special ingredient necessary for making your vacation in Wisconsin one of the best ever! We whole-heartedly recommend “Our Great Escape” to anyone looking for an enjoyable week away from the hustle and bustle of life.

  • "Our Great Escape" was our family's first introduction to vacationing in Wisconsin and what a fantastic first impression! Winding along the tree lined road encircling the Lost Land Lake we were captivated by the beauty of this forest setting. What a pleasant surprise as we turned into the circle drive and pulled up to an immaculately maintained property. Once inside we were equally impressed with the decor featuring a stunning great room, comfortable furnishings, top-notch kitchen, and special amenities that made our stay so enjoyable. We particularly enjoyed the screened in porch with an unrestricted view of the lake. From the porch we could read a good book while keeping a close eye on our kids swimming at the beach or fishing off the dock. Space doesn't permit us to list all the things we liked about "Our Great Escape." We look forward to returning soon!
