The Great Escape is appropriately named! We chose this house for its location, view, level entry, and pet friendliness. From grandma to the teenager, there was space for everyone (8 people total). Our adventures included Sugar Mtn, App Ski Mtn, Grandfather Vineyards, Blowing Rock, and dinners at Casa Rustica and Woodlands-all of which were very accessible from this house. If only the Gamekeeper next door had been open during our stay! Highly recommend ordering firewood from the rental company. Kitchen was adequately stocked with appliances, pots, pans, etc. (BYO spices & paper products). Beds were comfortable and the teen loved the loft! We saw lots of deer and the sunsets were amazing! Glad we didn’t get too much snow/ice, though, because the drive in/out could have been tricky. We did have a 4WD! We hope to stay in the Great Escape again!
