Secluded and quiet but also very close to all the hiking and places we wanted to go. Host was very good at letting us know all the checkin details as well. 5 STARS!

The location was excellent, gated community, very clean area. The house was well stocked and clean with a cool rec room downstairs. Plenty of water pressure and hot water enough for five people to shower and still not run out. Close to the town of Albermarle, only 15 minutes away, lots of restaurants and shopping options there. Teresa was very responsive and an excellent host!

About the host

Hosted by Teresa Simmons

Host profile image
I am a retired school teacher. When I retired, we moved to this lake community and have enjoyed all it has to offer. Our neighborhood has many activities for all ages to participate in, or you can just do your own thing. Love the simple things like riding the golf cart around, watching the sun set, or taking a swim in the large pool.
We purchased our 2nd home in Woodrun to have a place for family to stay when they visit. We wanted to share it with others as well.

Why they chose this property

This property was unoccupied for a year or more. We new it had a lot of potential. After renovating it ourselves over the next 6 months, we have helped to improve it's value and improve our neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

Lake Escape has access to Lake Tillery. There are beautiful views of the lake from the pool and clubhouse. Walking trails are all around. The back deck from the home is high off the ground and it appears that you are in a tree house. The views of the lake are wonderful in the early spring, fall, and winter. It is located in a quiet neighborhood. New quartz counter tops in the kitchen and main bathroom.
