Mother Daughter Getaway

We were looking for a property to share a relaxing mother daughter getaway. We found the home to be clean and comfortable and welcoming. The deck was especially nice. Area is very quiet and rural and close to great hiking trails and beautiful mountains.

Great Escape Lodge was perfect!

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!

Quick hello

College roommates together for a quick visit. Lovely property. We really enjoyed making dinner and breakfast in the kitchen (well stocked spice rack) and found ourselves gathered there around the big island. Comfortable beds. Spacious bathrooms.

weekend with friends

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.

Gorgeous house with a view

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!

Beautiful escape

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!

Surprise getaway

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.

Peaceful and oh-so comfortable

The house is huge, comfortable and well appointed with thoughtful touches throughout. The beds and linens are superior. The kitchen had any and everything you might need. And there were plenty of little extras available in case you forgot something. The property is remote from stores/restaurants- most at least a 15 or 20 minute drive. But that makes it special if you want to de-stress and relax. For adults it was perfect and the guys loved the reclining sofas.

Wish we had stayed longer

The property is gorgeous - like an HGTV dream. The view from the deck is pastoral and calm and the hot tub is great. It’s big enough that you don’t hear each other but there is plenty of space to congregate. Well stocked and bright. Will be back.
