Our goal with this vacation was to chill out and enjoy our family time, especially with our 2.5-year-old granddaughter. The Great Escape cottage provided a comfortable base for our activities and included all of the amenities we needed. The cottage is beautiful and well-maintained. Our granddaughter located and was thrilled by the multitude of decorative items in the cottage; we were able to keep all of them safe although possibly relocated some!!
As per the owner's note in advance the spiral stairs are TRICKY, especially for 70+ year olds!

Great location and wonderful view of the lake. We especially enjoyed the close proximity to the swimming area. The kitchen was well stocked and made meal prep easy. Regarding the listing we were counting on the 2 double futons for the kids and it's actually a couch and loveseat. There is no sofa bed. You might want to update the listing. Also wanted to mention that the spiral steps have one step that has become unattached on the inside near the post.
We enjoyed our stay.

The home was clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. We loved the big sunroom for our family gatherings in the evening. We have a boat so were very happy there was a dock nearby for us to use during the day.

Great location, quick access to the Lake with private dock through the association. Parking was a little tight but accommodated by areas very close to the house. Comfortable for 8 adults and 3 children. Close to all the local beaches and PM Park.

We loved the house, the location of Bell Harbor,walking distance to PM Park with great outdoor and indoor bar and dining. everything really. The only caveat would be the spiral staircase for your 70+ guests. Would definitely stay here again,

Had a wonderful long weekend in this house! The kids got a kick over the spiral staircase up to their room.
Had everything we needed for 9 family members from age 5 to 41 to unite and the long table in the 4-season was big enough for us to join around during dinner meal times.
For amenities,we really appreciated the amount of house and beach towels on hand so we didn't have to worry about packing so much.

Great proximity to the lake
This location provides a great view of the lake from the front decks and is about 1 block from the park and docks. The public boat ramp is about a mile from the property. The property was very clean and fit our needs well. We had a great time at Clear Lake.

Sleeping arrangements
When I booked the house I looked at the availability of beds since we had 11 people (6 adults, 5 kids). Kids are 11,9,6,6,3. When we arrived we found that there were two less beds available than advertised. I contacted the host and she said that she had changed out furniture and had not revised the website. Result was that my wife and I had to make other arrangements and could not stay at the house.

Perfect weekend retreat
A group of girlfriends gathered here for the weekend and it was the perfect place! A lovely location, surrounded by lots of charming cottages, and a short walk to the park, Tiki Bar, and Marina. The house was really comfortable with everything you need for the weekend. We also really loved spending time on the multiple deck spaces. Michele was very friendly and responsive. We are already discussing when we can come back next year.

The perfect spot for a relaxing family getaway!
My family had a great time at Clear Lake, and the Great Escape worked perfectly for our group. Although not right on the water, the very short walk to lake access did not bother us at all. It was a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Very happy with our stay!

Does not disappoint!
This is our second year at this property. The grandkids love it as they are teenagers and can find lots to do near by. You are walking distance to the marina where we rent pontoons and jet skis. The neighborhood is so friendly. We all love staying here.

Great location and great host
My family of 5 enjoyed the house. And with 3 kids, it was so nice having access to the small beach and playground within walking distance. Michele was very responsive to any and all questions/concerns I had before and during our stay.

Perfect Getaway Lake Home!
The Great Escape was a perfect location to celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary with family. As you approach the house, the yellow and blue colors stand out from the rest of the places and make you smile. The light and airiness of the sunrooms on the north and south give a peacefulness to the home. With five adults and three kids, we each could have our own space. Two good sized bedrooms on the lower level were very comfortable. Then there was the red spiral staircase that the kids loved and found many reasons to go upstairs to the two bedrooms, bath and their own private deck. The adults were not fans of the staircase, but found it manageable. There were so many pluses: the beach towels, the lake view from the quiet sunroom, the private beach with a water trampoline just a block away, the location—so close to the state park and great ice cream. We were very impressed with the town of Clear Lake—I suggest contacting the Chamber and being sent a list of what is going on each week. We attended the Thursday night activities, Friday garden activities, yoga in the park, the boat around the lake, city park and we rented a pontoon for a day. Truly, the time flew!! Even on the rainy day we found lots to do thanks to the large selection of games and the many televisions. The Great Escape is the perfect get away for a celebration or just to relax. Thanks for sharing your lake home.

Great house! Excellent location!
The house was very clean, lots of space, and great location! The house is 1 block from a private park, beach and swim area. It was perfect for our young kids. The house also has a very nice view of the lake and 3 docks very close to go fishing or swimming. Michele was very easy to communicate with.
We would definitely stay at the house again in the future once my kids are a little bigger. The only down fall for us was the spiral staircase, it was hard carrying the baby up and down the stairs.
Thanks Michele for sharing your great house with us!
