Wonderful
We had a wonderful time at The Great Escape. The space was perfect for our family of four (teens to adult). The setting is just so quiet and refreshing.

Great stay
Super clean and great for 2-3 people. My mom and I enjoyed the patios and seeing the deer in the evening. We had a great stay and would love to come back. Please note there *IS* an AC wall unit upstairs and it helped keep the house cool even though it wasn’t central air. VRBO Property manager had said there wasn’t AC so that was confusing.
