This location was very quiet and relaxing. We were also conveniently located within 20 minutes from beaches, parks, boat and jet ski rentals and lazy river tubing. We had a relaxing and adventurous week.

I am so very happy to enjoyed your stay at the Great Escape. We absolutely love it there
Our long weekend stay at The Great Escape was wonderful! We traveled with two kids under 5 and 3 adults. There was plenty of space and it was really clean and inviting. I appreciated having a washer and dryer to use as well. The internet went out while we were there and the owner was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed going to the beach nearby while also traveling to West branch, Graying and Houghton Lake. Would definitely recommend and come back again! Thank you.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
House was great, everything the listing said except we couldn’t figure out heat and couldn’t get in contact with anyone to figure it out so it was a extremely cold weekend

Thank you for noting that the home met your expectations otherwise. When you contacted us about the heat, we promptly provided additional contact information for the local guest contact, who was available to assist with real-time concerns. We did not receive further communication, but we are always happy to help guests resolve any issues during their stay.
The house was clean and had plenty of room. We appreciated the two refrigerators. It was very quiet and private, great place for a Higgins lake getaway.
Property was as listed. The kichen had all most everything we needed. It was nice for them to have camp chairs and wagons to haul kids and things down to the lake.I would rent this place again.

From the owner: "We would love to have you back. I am glad you enjoyed everything."
We had a great time. This place had all we needed from bedding, towels to dishes and pots and pans. Many games were available, WiFi and a nice TV. Garage had chairs for around the firepit, bag chairs, wagons to pull things to the beach. I can’t say enough about how nice and spacious this house was. Angelo always answered any questions we had. Nice place even if it rains. Go and enjoy it!!

I am glad you found the home well equipped for you and you enjoyed all the amenities we offer. Thank you for choosing the Great Escape
We have stayed at a few rentals in the area, and this one is officially my new favorite! I loved the layout of the house and how clean and well-kept everything was.The location was great—about a 10–15 minute walk to the Higgins Lake boat launch. We brought our boat with us, and it was very easy getting in and out. There is also plenty of parking, making it perfect for multiple families.Unfortunately, it rained for about half of our trip, but the covered porch was perfect for still being able to enjoy the outdoors and spend time together.We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely stay here again! :)

What a lovely note to read—so glad this place became your new favorite! We're happy the layout, cleanliness, and easy access to the Higgins Lake boat launch made for a smooth stay, especially with a boat and multiple families in tow. It's wonderful that the covered porch let you all stay together and enjoy the outdoors even with some rain in the mix.
