It was the perfect cabin to come back to after our days of exploring. The nap on the relaxing front porch, the private & magical trials were just a few highlights to make this a hidden gem. The inside was perfect in every way.

Beautifully updated cabin... all the amenities we needed, and very clean. Love the location... peaceful and quiet... easy drive to many lovely restaurants, peninsula state park, etc. Couldn't ask for anything more. Will certainly look to stay here again on our next trip to door county.

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!

Very Nice Stay

Very clean, well-appointed house. Had everything you need for a comfortable stay. The house has A/C and you might consider updating your listing with new pictures as a lot of really nice updates were done to the exterior of the house.

After arriving at a subpar rental, I was panicked. It was high season, so I assumed we were stuck with what we got. Thankfully we found this place had a last minute opening. The agency was super helpful and got us an early check in the next day. The house was well, clean, great layout and well appointed. Plenty of dishes, kitchen and cleaning supplies. Lots of pillows and blankets to keep everyone happy. Very clear instructions for every little thing (windows, lights, automatic shades, A/C), which was really appreciated. The lot is very private and large. Our kids loved the trails out back. Small and easy walks, but kept them occupied, at least for a little bit :)

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.

beautiful house, beautiful location

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.

Great stay

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.
