Beautiful home and perfect for a getaway. Great location and can’t beat the views!
This was a beautiful house that was meticulously maintained. The fall leaves made the mountain view even more gorgeous and the weather was perfect to sit outside on the porch and enjoy it. Our only complaint was that we were there for a wedding so we didn't have much time to spend in the house!
We had a wonder, relaxing time in the Great Escape. Everything is as pictured, if not better. We enjoyed visiting apple orchards, driving the back roads, and chilling at night over a nice glass of wine and a good meal. Will definitely be back again.
Lovely piece of land. Great place to say if you have a wedding the next day.
The house was very clean and well kept. There was plenty of indoor space to spend time in. Unfortunately due to torrential rain, we didn't get to really enjoy the outside space and beautiful view.
Beautiful house in a serene location! Great place to unwind and get away from it all. Heather (property manager) was excellent to interact with.
Wonderful
We came here to have a nice relaxing time in the mountains and it was just that! We had 6 people ( 2 kids ages 3 and 8) and it was perfect! The view was amazing and the house came stocked with more appliances/kitchen equipment then most Vrbos we have stayed in. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I booked the house for a two father-son golf trip and we had a blast. The home is immaculate and the view is stunning. The kitchen had everything we needed. Feels like a high-end home and I've already told friends about this gem. We were in the hot tub at night and looked up at the stars and were so happy to be out there with peace and tranquility.
The Great Escape Lodge is an absolute dream to stay at! Beautiful property, kind host. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
A small group of friends wanted to do some hiking and then have a fun night to hang in, play games, get in the hot tub, etc. This place fit the bill as there are numerous hiking places nearby and the accomodations were perfect for our group of 6. We enjoyed our stay here! It's in a beautiful location and the open common space layout was perfect. We did cook dinner and then breakfast together and found there weren't as many large pots/pans as we had hoped, but we made due. Beds were very comfortable and place was very clean!
Booked this place last minute when we wanted to visit Gettysburg. Fantastic stay, nicely equipped, and the decor is... extraordinary.
The property is brand new, even has that wonderful new house smell. It was immaculately clean. We loved the open floor plan which made for spending time with everyone so easy. The kitchen is quite big and has many amenities to prepare meals. There is a nice sized basement but we did not spend time there as we enjoyed the large living room. Overall the house was amazing and we really enjoyed our time there.
The Great Escape was just that. It gave us the opportunity to relax and regroup.
