This was our second stay at The Great Escape.. and it probably won't be our last. Kim does a great job of ensuring your stay feels like a home away from home while still giving the privacy, cleanliness and convenience of a well managed property.

Thanks for the great review! Come on back any time to the Great Escape in Black Mountain. We'd love to host you all again! Take Care!
My cousin and I stayed here for 4 nights and absolutely loved it. Excellent location, less than a mile to downtown Black Mountain. Quiet neighborhood, fenced in yard for my pup, and a super clean home. Everything was well labeled and easy to use. We would absolutely stay here again!

So glad you all enjoyed yourselves! Thanks for your kind words - come back and see us any time!
The house was very cozy & comfortable! It truly felt like home away from home. You can tell they put a lot of thought into all the small things that make a big difference. We truly appreciated getting to stay here. Only critique is the showers water pressure was very weak, still got the job done, just took a little longer to do it.
The home was lovely and just as pictured. Our pup loved the fenced yard. The owners considered everything you might need plus many extras. Very convenient to downtown Black Mountain. We loved sitting on the porch!Jeff & Donna
