Cozy cabin

Such a nice getaway and so very cozy. We spent the weekend here as a getaway following our wedding. It was a quiet area and the layout was great for me with mobility issues and the yard is incredible and a great place for dogs, we had our service animals with us and the amenities they provided for dogs were great too. We will definitely try to stay again.

Another Perfect Escape

We have stayed in the Great Escape multiple times. It is always clean, comfortable, inviting, and well stocked. The neighborhood is quiet and a short walk to the National Forest. Our dogs have a wonderful time playing and exploring in the large, securely fenced back yard. Communication with the host is great, they are very helpful and responsive. I travel to the area to visit and do family research fairly often. The Great Escape is always my first choice for lodging.

Perfect Mountain Home Away from Home

We have vacationed at The Great Escape more times than we can count. We keep returning because it is a wonderful cabin. It has everything we need - fully stocked kitchen, very comfortable furnishings, convenient location, etc. It also has some very nice extras including a nice hot tub and a fenced in backyard, which is great for the dog. Don and Lina are excellent hosts and make communication easy. We hope to return yet again soon!

Great Stay in Shenandoah Area

We just got back from our 5 day, 4 night stay in the Great Escape. We loved the cabin. It was super clean and comfortable. We were able to hike in Shenandoah easily from the cabin and experienced the greatest night sky on the back deck every night. The kitchen was a great plus as we cooked breakfast every morning. We highly recommend and are already planning on our next stay.

Quiet and Relaxing

Open concept cabin with beautiful fenced in back yard. Very clean and very cozy. We made dinner almost every night and the kitchen had everything we needed including grilling utensils. We loved the hot tub for relaxing after our hikes and the front porch to sit and chat. The bed was very comfortable and having two bathrooms was super convenient. My husband and I have stayed at many VRBOs and this one is in our top 2. Thank you Don and Lina for a wonderful vacation experience! Susan and Roger

Relax and Unwind

This is the cleanest and most organized VRBO we have ever stayed at! Don and Lina were very responsive everytime we had a question. Their property is located within 30 min of Skyline Drive and several caverns and has a gated yard our two small dogs loved. Front and back porch are great to relax on!.

Perfect relaxing family vacation spot!

The cabin was perfect! Clean with lots of space to relax. The hot tub was relaxing each night, the kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals and the daily visits by deer and bunnies was a highlight for our daughter. Very comfortable! Highly recommend for any family visiting the area!! The owners were flexible and even let us extend our stay!
