Inside the home are two bedrooms, each with a king size bed. We furnish wireless internet and satellite TV. I will email you a list of activities that are all close to our cabin. There is something for everyone at The Great Escape.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with satellite channels. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We had a wonderful stay! The cabin is super clean and stocked with everything you’ll need. Our 9 month old baby had a blast crawling in the spacious living room and our 17.5 year old chihuahua was very comfortable. They also enjoyed the beautiful lawn! We created precious memories here as a family of 3 that we will cherish forever! Thank you for letting us enjoy your beautiful cabin!

We cannot recommend the Great Escape enough! Don and Lina are wonderful hosts who provided a clean, comfortable, and calm experience. The backyard was perfect for our pups to run around in, and the hot tub was fantastic after long days hiking in the beautiful mountains. The beds are super comfy and we always woke up refreshed. If you’re considering booking the Great Escape - do it. We can’t wait to come back!
Happy pups enjoying the yard!

We had an amazing stay at this cabin. The space was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully set up for a relaxing getaway. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and the outdoor area was perfect for morning coffee and evening unwinding. The location struck a great balance — peaceful and private, but still close enough to local shops and trails. The host was responsive and made everything easy. We’d happily stay here again.
