Nice house on a great location. Lots of amenities and very responsive owners.

We are so lucky to have been able to stay at this beautiful place for a third time. The space is gorgeous - lots of areas to spread out and enjoy nature. We loved paddle boarding and kayaking - the sunsets cannot be beat. The kitchen has literally everything you could ever imagine needing and is very easy to work in. The standalone ice maker is the absolute best thing! Having the choice of water sports, corn hole, basketball, ping pong, etc made sure no one was ever bored! Having the lovely Rosemount Vineyard so close by is such a bonus. Communication with the very responsive hosts is always a pleasure. Stay here only if you want to have a perfect, wonderful time!

Our party of 6 adults absolutely loved this place. We found everything that we needed plus much, much more. You won't run out of things to do here and you can't help but admire the wonderful decorating in the house and incredible landscaping on the property. The view and location are great and we thoroughly enjoyed the firepit by the water in the evening, and fishing from the dock during the day. We were very happy that we chose this place for our get together.

We enjoyed our stay. Very well provisioned kitchen! Everything was as promised. We were there less than an hour when everyone asked if we can come back next year.

We planned a family gathering at this property for Christmas. We had 7 older children and 9 adults. Despite the weather being colder, we still had a wonderful time! We were able to take the paddle boat out, fish, and go on walks to explore the neighborhood with our dogs. It was an amazing experience!

Super Host, beautiful property, fantastic stay!

The Great Escape is an awesome home for a getaway. My family thoroughly enjoyed it! It's a beautiful home inside and out. Kitchen was fully stocked. The best was excellence in customer service! From the time we checked in Teresa made us feel welcome. She answered questions that we had promptly. She was very accommodating! Thanks for sharing your lovely home!!! If you haven't stayed, you should give it a try!

Some friends and family wanted a quick get away and I'm so glad we selected this house! I can't say enough great things about it - inside and out it is perfect. The landscaping is beautiful, all the outdoor spaces are well planned and accessible - and we used them all! It was nice to have a choice of a gas firepit or a wood fire! We used both. The boat house is great with the second level deck. That fact that the home is situated on a peninsula makes it very private and secluded. The house inside is very well stocked and has everything you need for a couple of nights or a whole week. The beds are comfortable, it was clean, the screen porch is wonderful and the home is very spacious. We didn't have any kids but it would be GREAT for family with a bunch of kids. Teresa was very responsive and is a great host. We will be back!

A great vacation home with nice amenities! My family an I enjoyed our stay here. The owners were very responsive when we needed to reach out. It was a nice plus for there to be two refrigerators plus an extra ice maker. The large pantry made it easy for us to store all of our food. There is a wood burning fire pit plus a gas one; we utilized both. The large deck made for a great space to play corn hole. We would come back for another stay.

Lots of rooms and great water toys!

My daughter said after we left “this was the best vacation ever”. I think this summarizes how everyone felt about our stay. Everything with the house was perfect. And our host was very helpful and responsive. We would definitely go back again.

Teresa and Pete went above and beyond communicating before we arrived. The house was beautiful, unbelievably clean, stocked with everything that you could need, and an open layout that everyone loved. We really appreciated having access to the kayaks, paddle boards, etc. The yard is beautifully landscaped, and the bird feeders were an added attraction. My favorite part was sitting on the screened in porch. I highly recommend this house and really appreciate Teresa and Pete sharing their house with my family.

We had a beautiful week. The house was perfect. It was fully loaded with all the appliances gadgets and even spices. It had an abundance of water toys at your hand for relaxing or paddling around. We had one small issue with the sink faucet being lose and Pete and Teresa immediately handled the problem. They even checked on us to make sure everything else was good. I highly recommend this property and am looking forward to spending more time there.

This is our fifth year in row staying at The Great Escape! We will continue to stay here in the future. Pete and Teresa are the most AMAZING HOSTS!! They continue to improve the property every year even when I think it can't get any better!! Staying here is my family's Happy Place!! We are already looking forward to next year!!

Grand parents and three adult children, their spouses and children. Plenty to do for all three generations. This was our second year and looking forward to next year.

This was our second stay at The Great Escape. We loved this property so much that we came back. The location is perfect as it is on it's own little peninsula on a side creek of the main lake, making it ideal for floating in the lake all day long. We used the SUPs, kayaks, and pedal boat daily! The house has everything you will need including TWO refrigerators and a stand alone ice machine. So many beds to accommodate are large extended family (9 grand children!!). My favorite room was the screened in porch for morning coffee (especially nice when it had rained overnight). The hosts were wonderful and easy to communicate with. Thanks for a great family vacation!!

Our family has been vacationing at The Great Escape numerous times over the last 7 years. We love the house, and the location of the property on Lake Gaston. The house easily accommodates our 4 families and the kitchen has everything we need to make breakfast, lunch & dinner! We were delighted to see an additional full size refrigerator added for our use! Days are spent floating in the lake by the boat dock. Mornings and evenings are enjoyed relaxing or fishing on the point. Sunsets are gorgeous! We just love this vacation home. Pete and Teresa are the best hosts. They care very much about their guests and do everything they can to make sure we enjoy our stay. We can't wait to come back next year!

Loved our stay! Owners are amazing! Enough room for 4 families.

Pete & Teresa are great hosts! Each time we have stayed there have been upgrades to the home & property! They communicate well with us & are very responsive to our questions. They appreciate it when you let them know of a lot problem. This year was our smallest group. The most recent upgrades were mindful of the groups the house can handle! Thanks from all of us!

We continue to stay at The Great Escape because it is the best on the lake. Pete and Theresa are amazing hosts. We had terrible weather and still managed to have a good time. Can't wait to come back for year 5!

This is our fourth year staying at The Great Escape and it was exceptional again this year! This home is perfect for our large family, and the gentle slope of the lot makes it manageable for our parents. The owners continue to make beautiful improvements - new this year is a stamped concrete walkway down to the point and around the side of the house. Everyone in our family had a wonderful time- can't wait to go back next year !!!!

The outdoors of the property are gorgeous, with many places to sit and enjoy the scenery of the lake. The water is clean and deep for enjoying all sorts of water activities. The house is clean and spacious with plenty of extra sleeping space, extra tables and chairs, room for a very large group to fit comfortably and not feel cramped.

We had a wonderful Mother’s Day retreat with our only living aunt that’s 85. It was her daughters and all of her nieces. We had a wonderful time. We laughed. We cried we prayed we sang we danced. We made some beautiful memories. We didn’t want to leave. The home had everything from spices to great cookware. It is fully equipped. The owners were very helpful and kind. We will be returning.

The owners really seem to have spared no expense nor - missed any detail for providing an exceptional experience. The kitchen equipment, the furnishings, the attention to detail all combined to provide a completely relaxed and enjoyable stay. Four bathrooms enabled us to have each couple and each single have private baths. If the 5th bedroom is used, a bath will need to be shared, and this is accommodated well by having two bathrooms with both en suite and direct access.

Three generations of our family stayed at the Great Escape for a week. If you are looking for a large lake home for a large group in the Lake Gaston area, this should be your top pick. The house is clean, roomy and well appointed. There are plenty of table and cook ware, small kitchen appliances, two full size new refrigerators and an ice maker, large pantry, etc. that make meal prep easy and fun. The house and the gorgeous and large yard have many seating areas and places to wonder to find a quiet place for yourself or conversational spaces with others. The dock was a terrific bonus for many of us for fishing, swimming (and yes, jumping into the lake from the high deck!) and catching some rays. The Internet runs through fiber optic cables-so no need to worry about not having great connections. The owners are easy to communicate with and seek to make sure your vacation is as smooth as possible. The owners have a detailed notebook with instructions for everything on the property indoor and out that make getting online, locating the lake toys, linens (an additional cost), etc., a snap. They also communicate with you well in advance on how to open up and close up the property. There is no garbage service; dumpster is only two minutes away near the Citgo station. Be aware the upstairs loft is open to the great room below and has no window coverings. They are three twin beds in this room. Our teenagers (16 & 18) found it a fine place to sleep. Bring your own coolers.

Could not have ask for a more beautiful location. The house was wonderful with lots of space and comfort. Our group had 11 adult women.

Wonderful experience. Beautiful property with all the amenities you could want. Owners very accommodating. Loved this rental.

Great big house with lots of open areas and beautiful views of the lake. Loved the fire pit and big tables for board games. Used the driveway for spikeball and had a great time. My only complaint was that there was is a seemingly strict seven car limit with restrictions to “not park on the grass or the street” for the driveway for a house that holds 19 people. We were all coming from different directions and some at various times so we were originally going to drive separately but had to carpool and drive out of the way to pick each other up so we could adhere to the limit. When we got there the driveway is huge and there is no grass for people to park on so it was just frustrating to have a limit that seemed unnecessary. Other than that, gorgeous place.

Everything was as described. Overall good experience!!

Property is perfect for a large family gathering. This is the second time we have stayed here for a Thanksgiving week and hope to do it again.

My cousin and I both turn 60 in November, so we booked this home for a 3 night girls' weekend. The number guests ended up being 19, but no one ever felt crowded. I would love to book this home during the summer, so that we can take advantage of the water sports. The only thing that would have made it better was more refrigerator space. We loved the two ice makers, the screened porch and the fire pit. We felt safe the entire weekend and could not have had a better time. The hosts were excellent and we stayed in touch with them over the weekend.

House was well equip with all the necessary to have a great family gathering . Easy to communicate with the owners . Best lake house we stayed so far .
