About the host
Hosted by Kathleen Brennan

Hi I am Kathleen. My husband Bruce and I are thrilled to share The Great Escape with families and friends looking to make unforgettable memories at Lake Gaston!
As a longtime lake lover, we know firsthand how special time on the water can be—whether it’s early morning coffee on the dock, kids laughing on the water trampoline, or evenings by the firepit under the stars. That’s why we love this home and have poured so much care into creating a special place that’s not just a rental, but a true retreat—beautifully furnished, thoughtfully stocked, and designed for fun, comfort, and connection.
We take great pride in maintaining The Great Escape to the highest standards, ensuring it’s always clean, welcoming, and ready for your stay. In return, we ask that guests treat it as their own—respecting the space, the lake, and the experience for future visitors.
Our goal is for you to feel at home from the moment you arrive and to leave with memories that last a lifetime. I’m always just a message away if you need anything, and we can’t wait to host you at Lake Gaston!

Why they chose this property
Before finding The Great Escape, we spent years visiting Lake Gaston, renting different homes in search of the perfect spot. Time and time again, we were drawn back to this exclusive neighborhood in the southeast quadrant of the lake. It offered everything we loved—breathtaking main-lake views, a quiet cove for safe swimming, and a wonderful sense of community.
We knew this was where we wanted to be and when we finally found this beautiful home, we knew it was the one. We’ve since poured our hearts into making it a comfortable, welcoming, and fun-filled retreat for our family—and now, for yours.
Just a short drive from The Great Escape, downtown Littleton is a hidden gem with small-town charm, great dining, and unique local shops. Stroll through Main Street and explore boutique stores, antique and artisan markets filled with one-of-a-kind finds.
Food lovers will enjoy delicious local restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries, while craft beer enthusiasts can stop by Lake Gaston Brewing Company for a refreshing drink. Don’t miss the Lakeland Cultural Arts Center, which hosts live performances and events throughout the year.
We truly believe this is one of the best locations on Lake Gaston, offering the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, fun activities, and easy lake access. We hope you love it as much as we do!
