The place was amazing! It was well done; had everything you could need; and immaculatly clean. It was everything we hoped for and more, including the hot tub! We ended up having to cut our visit short because of a sick daughter, but we hope to come back sometime in the future.If you are coming to the Shenandoah National Park, this is a great place to rent.

We have stayed at The Great Escape numerous times and love the cabin. It is perfect for a long weekend in the mountains. During the days, we enjoy hikes in Shenandoah National Park and the George Washington National Forest. In the evenings, we relax in the hot tub, prepare dinners in the very well-equipped kitchen, and sleep soundly in the comfortable bed. A fully fenced in back yard for dogs and a washer and dryer are two of our favorite amenities. Don and Lina are excellent hosts, making sure the cabin has everything we need and always being accessible.

This property was exactly as depicted. The king size bed was comfortable. The television was easy to control and we were able to watch baseball and our football team. We spent a lot of time at Shenandoah National Park. The house was also located within a half mile of Catherine’s Furnace in George Washington National Park. Good hiking! The neighborhood was nice and quiet. The backyard was large and fenced. We were comfortable. We appreciated the To Do book the hosts had put together. The food recommendations were spot on.

Loved that we could take our dog with us,and with the fenced in yard, it was perfect. The hot tub was nice to relax in. The property is very clean, and the beds were very comfortable. The hosts couldn't have been nicer, with many of the starting essentials like toilet paper and paper towels provided. They even provided essentials for our pooch! Thank you so much - we loved Skyline Drive!
