Great Stay

This is a beautiful, tastefully decorated, well appointed cabin. It’s tucked away at the end of a private residential road…a really nice, quiet place to unwind after a day of exploring. The space is open, modern, and clean. We enjoyed the light walking trail by the house, which was lined with flowers. The location is very convenient. Definitely a great place to stay!

Stellar stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Great Escape! Thought the Great Dane theme was cute and there was a ton of extra for our big family like the toddler bed and pack and play and lots of extra linens. We cooked one big meal and it had pretty much everything we needed. Had fast response team from management when anything was needed.

We really enjoyed being within a 15 min drive to most of the bays in the area. Admittedly, we weren't at the house much during the day, but it is a great quiet spot to end a long day of fun. The property was very clean and obviously well cared for. As someone who likes their privacy, it doesn't get much better than this.

Super clean and great for 2-3 people. My mom and I enjoyed the patios and seeing the deer in the evening. We had a great stay and would love to come back. Please note there *IS* an AC wall unit upstairs and it helped keep the house cool even though it wasn’t central air. VRBO Property manager had said there wasn’t AC so that was confusing.

Great experience at The Great Escape

The Great Escape offered a clean, well decorated, comfortable home while we toured Door County, Wisconsin. We enjoyed having a full kitchen in which we could prepare our on meals as well as hiking paths around the property to enjoy the outdoors. A couple of minor issues occurred, and the property manager responded immediately and was very helpful. The location is ideal for exploring the northern portion of Door County. We enjoyed our time at the great escape with our two adult children.

Quiet Log Cabin Style Home

We enjoyed staying at this property! I The log cabin style architecture was very fun, the furniture was comfortable, and it was at the end of a very quiet private road. Being just a few minutes outside of Sister Bay made it very convenient to get to everything, especially Washington Island which was a fun adventure. The fast wireless Internet allowed one of our party to get in a required day’s work. The only downside was that there was no central air, just a single window unit in the upstairs with a ceiling fan to blow it downstairs. Also, we found the thick foam toppers on the bed to be too hot and too soft for our particular taste. Overall, it was wonderful, though!

Loved our stay. Had everything we needed. My only complaint would be it's a 2 bedroom, not a 3 bedroom, and there was not any air conditioning, but it did get cooler at night and made sleeping bearable. Would stay here again.
