This was the second time we stayed... and it was all because it is an all around wonderful experience. Well stocked kitchen, lovely floor plan with very nice decor. 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 property met our needs perfectly with its layout and location. All details were well done and we enjoyed the Fall coziness of the fireplace and bed quilts after long hikes at Morrow Mountain State Park.

So glad that you found everything to your liking Julia. We want to make your stay as comfortable as possible. If you have request for your next stay, just let me know and we will try to make it happen.
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.
