The Great Escape Lakeside was a phenomenal venue for our wedding. Our family and friends had an outstanding time with all the games and rooms. The pool slide is amazingly addictive. Andrew and Belinda are fantastic hosts with almost immediate responses to all of our questions.
The whole group had fun, but our bed in the risk room was horrific and wrecked mine and my wife's backs. Main grill is the outdoor kitchen was out and never fixed but they did provide a separate one. The pool and the slide were a big hit. You won't ever be bored or disappointed.
We had an amazing family vacation at this spectacular candy-themed house! Each room is uniquely decorated with a different candy theme, and we stayed in the “Lifesavers” room, which was super fun and colorful. The entire place is incredibly …
We stayed at Ever After a couple weeks ago! We absolutely enjoyed the gorgeous property. The host was wonderful, he made sure our stay was perfect! This place exceeded what I thought it would be. There Were so many amazing details in the rooms! Blew us away! We can’t wait to go back for another stay!
Had a wonderful time with our friends and family. Beautiful property with lots to do!
A very tranquil , peaceful stay …. I stayed at this home by myself and enjoyed every bit of the privacy and the quietness it has to offer . Austin was a great host and accommodated my needs during the stay and was great to work with . When I’m in Orlando , this is where I’m staying
Nice little apartment! We enjoyed our stay and Austin was easy to communicate with. The unit looks just like the pictures. Location was fine and you can see the lake from the house which was quite nice. It was about a 15 minute drive to Universal and 15 from the airport so not bad!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can’t wait to go back. Was worth leaving CT. I highly recommend this air bnb to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did not want to leave . The house is beautiful from every detail in the house . The pictures don’t do it justice, it’s better in person .
Our group had the best time at the Medina Mansion! We were there for a bachelorette party and the pond was perfect for just hanging out and relaxing! Would definitely recommend this place for a large get together! Perfect for large groups! The hosts were super friendly and easy to work with!
Excellent vacation location! In the woods, secluded, private, and significant space for as many as 70 people to enjoy themselves; house sleeps up to 50 people. For me, it's only 15 minutes from my house. Family visiting from several States to renew and strengthen our family bond.
We absolutely love this place! Our group was already asking when we would return. There was something for everyone. And the owner made our day showing up with a special birthday present! This is the place for the best family game nights. Definetly more than a 5 star rating.
Sweet Escape Mansion is truly one-of-a-kind! Every room has a fun and unique theme that adds so much character and excitement. We stayed with family over the weekend and had an unforgettable experience. The amenities were top-notch — from …
Incredible property. As stay like no other and memories you’ll cherish for life. This is the best way to do Orlando, relax, enjoy nature and a beautiful estate! We stayed there with our three children and absolutely loved our stay! Highly recommended!!
Fantastic location for our wedding! I couldn't imagine another location for our special day. Lake view its amazing for pictures! The tree is perfect for a beautiful ceremony. Management are amazing, ask for anything and they will work with you! Don’t think about it and just book it!
Great hosts! House was very clean and spacious, perfect for a group of people. Seth was super helpful and friendly. It is actually nice to have him on property. My only complaint is the surrounding neighborhood is a little sketchy but the property is gated. Overall great experience!
Austin is a super host, alwayes responds fast with action. The house is great and all mentioned immunities are as described and in good condition, location is super in a nice quiet neighborhood. Stayed there for more than a month, this proves what I said. For sure will stay again.
This property is gorgeous! It met and exceeded all of our wishes! Plenty of room for our large group and plenty of things to do in the area! Excellent communication from the company as well! Austin was a great help with anything we needed! We will be back!
when I first entered the house i felt at home then as i expolred the house i was beyond amazed that the pictures was to exact lets just say I have all intensions on coming back and next time its a must we stay longer than 4 days great experienced and excellent choice for a vacation
Loved it! Lots of nonstop things to do for our huge family, in house and nearby! We especially loved the pool! Didn’t even have time to turn on a tv! The hosts were super nice, accommodating and responded immediately with any questions or concerns! We highly recommend them!!
Our family (30 people!) just finished up, spending an extra extraordinary week at the sweet escape mansion. We very much enjoyed our stay. Even though it was unseasonably cold for the Orlando area, the teens in our crew made sure to play …
We took our team to The Ever After Estate as a reward trip…. Making it through last few years has been tough. I decided we needed to learn to play again and this was the perfect place to do so! The pool and slide amazing- all themed rooms …
I came with my family and there was enough room for all of us to have a bed. There’s was a lot to do on the property so we didn’t really need to leave (games, pool, etc.). We hung out by the pool a lot because there was a great view of the lake and 2 outdoor kitchens. 10/10 experience!
This is by far my favorite Airbnb I’ve been to so far. Beautiful spot with plenty of options of things to do. Austin did a fantastic job at laying out all the necessary information in advance and would answer any additional questions very promptly. Would highly recommend this Airbnb!
Austin was a great host. Prompt responses and easy check-in.
As for the place, it was exactly what we wanted in our stay. Comfortable beds/couches, foosball table, pool, diving board, and beautiful backyard. Place was clean when we arrived and comfortable for the entire group.
Incredible home and property. Our family needed a large home for our annual family reunion and this was so perfect. We had plenty of room indoors and outdoors. The house was spotlessly cleaned and very comfortable. It really set the stage for fun filled family time. We would love to come back every year now.
The Great Escape Lakeside was a fun place to visit so many games to play. It's like a giant fun house. The only suggestion I would make is that they add a commercial refrigerator to the kitchen. We had a reunion there and tons of food. There was really not enough room in the fridge.
This was a Great Escape for sure when we really needed one. Every kind of game, I mean every, for the whole family. Will be getting our name in for next time. Beautiful house, somebody has a great imagination. Escape rooms were awesome!
Thanks Andrew! (And Lois and Roger for inviting us)
My entire extended family rented the house for a week over Christmas and had one of the best times. The pool, house, and grounds had something to entertain everyone from the youngest grandchildren to our 80 year old grandfather. We loved …
What a time was had by The Monroe's! Another successful “Family Reunion” Our group of 30+ enjoyed our time at the Ever After Estate! There is so much to do that you need to stay at least a week or more. What you see on the website is …
The house is lovely, the property is beautiful! We will definitely be back and will stay longer so we can truly enjoy all that it had to offer. The pool area is stunning, and I really enjoyed the little touches around the place. Definitely recommend!
A rose hidden among the thorns, once you open the gate this location is a beautiful place to stay. Host and management were very responsive and quickly had help to fix a few small items, which made our stay live up to the expectations of the listing. Would love to come back.
The location is so beautiful, unfortunately we didn’t get to experience sitting out on the porch because it was freezing but it would have been extremely peaceful. Austin was also very easy to get ahold of. He also check in half way through the stay. Would definitely recommend 10/10
This property was amazing for me and my family it is very very huge and has so much space. This property is perfect for every event you can imagine. I would stay here again 10x! Side note host were great, responded super fast and made it EASYY!!!
FANTASTIC! My husband and I just shared 10 year anniversary with a vow renewal and our dearest friends. We played like we were teenagers. And we had special shirts made to mark the occasion using the theme from the house. We used every sleeping area and it was very comfortable for all.
What an awesome getaway home. So much fun and lots to do from the great pool and lazy river to all the outdoor activities in the spacious backyard. Really cool themed rooms. I would highly recommend staying here with a bunch of friends and family. We will definitely be back. Loved it!!!
What a fabulous weekend at the Sweet Escape! Our daughter got married at Bridlewood…(beautiful venue!) and the Sweet Escape was the perfect place for our friends and family to gather together and enjoy this special time. The staff was …
This house is a MUST to vacation at! We are locals, that looked for months for a fun unique wedding house that would not only be of use for our out of town family, but also an unforgettable experience. This property was PERFECT! …
Right off a busy road (which means you're close to many things) but once you're in the backyard you can hardly notice, great lake view, great pool area with a bathroom, shade and fridge so you don't need to walk all the way to the house.
Our host was extremely nice and greeted us with a welcome gift on arrival
I travel to Orlando a lot and I've stayed at other properties hosted by Austin and they are always great! I loved the quaintness of the place, it was nice and cozy, but also super close to downtown. The view of the lake is great and the whole house is gated in so that was very helpful.
We had a fantastic stay here! The place was spotless and well maintained. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, pool, and fire pit. The host was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The location was also great, just south of downtown Orlando. Highly recommend!
We rented this property to house our 14 person bridal party. Our church and wedding reception was nearby.
It is very spacious and has everything you need. We would definitely stay their again. It is a perfect retreat house for a large group.
The Great Escape Lakeside offers a great getaway for board game lovers and resort lovers alike. There’s really no reason to leave the house as it’s filled with TONS of amazing activities. Our host Alyssa was a star and responded to all of our needs. Would highly recommend staying here!
Staying here with my family was an amazing and unforgettable experience. The Great Escapes team really outdid themselves in terms of decoration. It's impossible to be bored and stay here. Fun was had by all, from the 1 year old to the 50 year old. Would love to stay at another location 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 …
We celebrated my daughter’s sweet 16 with 25 teenagers and it was absolutely perfect! Boys stayed in guest house and girls stayed in main house. We had room for everyone to dine in the main house, the beds were comfortable and the …
We stayed at the Ever After Estate
and it was truly incredible. Every room had its own unique theme and the entire property felt like a private adventure. The kids loved exploring the game rooms, …
The house is absolutely beautiful. The outdoor space was great. So much land and plenty to do. Austin was responsive and answered all our questions immediately. My family had a great time. I definitely recommend the home and will come again.
If you are looking for a well maintained spacious house for 10-12 people look no further. This place has beautiful sunsets on a lake, a pool and hot tub and a homey vibe to make you feel at home in Florida. I will definitely ask to book here again when we return next year!
A very nice house in a great location only about 10 minutes from the downtown area. Austin was easy to contact but there was nothing with the house that needed his attention. The hot tub was very nice to relax in and both the hot tub and the pool were very clean. I’d recommend staying here.
This place was amazing! My group of friends and I had a getaway weekend and genuinely didn’t need to leave the property.
It was so fun but also clean and felt like a home.
Austin was a great host and very responsive!
This vacation was very memorable! There was always something to do & we absolutely loved all the details and designs throughout the house. We could see the love and thought that was put into this beautiful experience! I highly recommend The Great Escape for an amazing time!
Went on an amazing family vacation, had adults and children of all different ages and everybody always had something to do! Having a big family with a place to sleep 40 people was hard to find but with The Great Escape house they accomplished everybody needs. Definitely coming back in the future!!
Incredible vacation home! We’ve stayed at several
Themed homes around the Orlando area and this property is the absolute best! The theming is incredible throughout the home inside and outside. This is perfect …
The warmth, the heart, the detail and mostly the FUN is all over this remarkable estate. Bravo to Andrew and Belinda! And thank you!
Austin and Emy were extremely responsive. The home is beautiful and having the 100 year history along the staircase was so interesting. They were great hosts and very gracious. We would definitely rent from Austin and Emy again. Thank you.
Our group really enjoyed our weekend at Clear Lake. The house is very comfortable and was great for a much anticipated 4th of July getaway. We really enjoyed our time on the lake, in the pool and hot tub as well as our meals. Seth and Kylee were great and very responsive.
House was in great shape and very clean for our arrival, 24 hour check-in helped since I couldn't get my group to make up their minds (and Hurricane Matthew changed plans). Was easy to find after address was confirmed and there was a nice park nearby that we went running in, which was great.
We booked the Medina Mansion as our wedding venue and we had a great experience. The house was clean, had all the amenities we needed and fit all our guests comfortably. We would love to stay here again in the future!
Our family has been to Sweet Escape twice and Ever After once, this is our first time at Great Escape Lakeside and it was a HUGE hit! We absolutely love these homes and the attention we get from the owners making sure all of our needs are met! Would highly recommend!
I don’t even know where to begin. I will update after our complete stay, we are halfway through now and it has been amazing. All the games, the extra touches around the house, the themed rooms, pictures don’t do this place justice! Will update with more pics and a longer review at the end of the stay!
This was our second visit to Sweet Escape, the first being 10 years ago.
We had a group of 30, including our kids, grandkids, extended family and …
Words cannot begin to express the awe and wonder we are still soaring off of from our time at the Ever After Estate! …
This property has so many options whether it be a wedding, private event or just hanging out relaxing and enjoying the amenities. We had my wife’s 50th surprise birthday party here and it was perfect. Friends and family stayed over night and we spend the rest of the weekend by the pool. Would recommend this property 100%
The place was amazing! Everything is just as advertised or maybe even a little better. I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a relaxing vacation away from home. Hosts were quick to reply and very cooperative with everything. You won’t be disappointed!
Our stay was great. The space was large, clean, and well stocked with towels! We really enjoyed the pool and hot tub and Austin was very responsive to any questions we had. We also relished in the peace and quiet. We really enjoyed our weekend here and would have no issue booking this place again.
This house was amazing. It was impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities we needed. The layout was spacious, the hosts provided thoughtful details, and the location offered both tranquility and convenience. Overall, it was a truly excellent stay, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Perfect for events too.
My entire group have had the time of our lives. I have been to 3 of the Great Escape homes and never disappointed. The service if needed is top of the line. The owner is hands on if needed and will do all he can to improve your stay. Thanks for another great adventure.
The absolute BEST vacation!!! The house is amazing, full of entertainment, and all-around gorgeous! On top of that, they are the most hospitable hosts you will ever encounter! Any single thing you could possibly need, they will provide! Endless fun and forever memories! This is a must do experience for all!
Super fun afternoon for my best friend's birthday. There was so much to do here. Mini golf and arcade was all we had time for but will def be back.
It was a very nice stay, out of the ordinary for Orlando. Very big house, they should allowed more ppl to stay to make your moneys worth. Watch out for bugs!! Paul, the property manager was very accommodating and helpful when needed.
Great house with a ton of space. Pool, hot tub, large living area and a nice dock to fish and catch bass! This house has it all and was in a reasonable distance from all Orlando has to offer. The hosts were responsive and helped make our stay great. I would definitely recommend staying here
This place is incredible. The stairs can be a little daunting if you have limited mobility, but the views of the lake you get in return make it all worth it. Very clean, very safe neighborhood. I recommend 100% The hosts were quick to respond and very friendly.
The property is really lovely and there were plenty of options for sleeping for our group of 18. The kitchen was a great place to gather and the outdoor space is quiet and welcoming. The event space allowed plenty of room for our meditation and yoga practices. The property management team was responsive and helpful. The overall experience has made this our groups go to destination!!
My family loves this place. It's a great place to truly relax. No need to run crazy going to theme parks as there is plenty to do here. Things are well thought out & no detail has been forgotten. Even the dog is enjoying himself. Thank you for making such a wonderful place for us to escape to.
We had a 3-night stay for my wife's birthday, and we had a lot of fun. The pool was amazing with the awesome lazy river. games and activities all around the house, inside and outside. check in check out was seamless. Definitely coming back. Thank you.
Loved this place!
Beautiful lake side large house with a huge and very nice backyard, great place for large group gathering . The host was very responsive and friendly. We are a group of 7. All had an awesome experience of staying at the property.
Would certainly recommend. We had a large group and it was able to accommodate us very comfortably. The view of the lake is great, we went paddle boarding and had coffee on the dock every morning. Pool was clean and lovely, we would be happy to stay here again!
Recently stayed at the Lake Jessamine property for a family get together. Loved the ample space for our group and clean rooms. We enjoyed the amenities and lake front views! Centrally located in Orlando made it a breeze getting around to our planned events!
This spacious property is absolutely perfect for a large group, offering plenty of space for everyone to feel comfortable and at ease. Austin was fantastic; his attentiveness and dedication to ensuring we had a great experience truly made our stay memorable. I give this place a well-deserved five stars and highly recommend it to any large group looking for a well laid out accommodation
Our family had purchased tickets ahead of time to visit the theme parks. Once we got to The Great Escape we realized what a mistake that was. All the fun at one place and no long lines. We had a wonderful experience at The Great Escape. We highly recommend it .
This is honestly one of the best experiences I’ve had, there is so much to do! The games are so fun, the pool is amazing, and the rooms are unlike anything you have ever seen before. I did not want to leave, I highly recommend booking your stay here
My family was stunned!!! Best airb&b we have ever stayed in and I have stayed in a lot!! This place was beyond cool and so much room!!! The pool was AMAZING!! And we only rented the guest house!!! I am definitely saving up to rent the main home for my next family vacation, I wouldn’t even mind the guest house again! I can’t even put into words how amazing this home was it was the highlight of our vacation and I enjoyed being here more then I did at Disney world! The host was beyond friendly and helpful and my dogs loved all the room to run. I will recommend this home to ANYBODY traveling to Florida this is the type of home I hope to own one day! I have nothing but great things to say not one single complaint! Please stay here you will not regret it!
What an awesome house! If you have a large group of people (10+) this is an ideal place to stay! The owner was extremely fast on response times for any and all questions that I had. Very simple check-in, check-out process.
How was Great!! Very spacious and comfortable. The home was organized and clean when we arrived. Austin was an amazing host, very responsive to calls and emails.
Boat worked out great, very fun time on the lake
No issues whatsoever, highly recommend!
Gracias por las Atenciones amigo Austin!! Estuvimos un par de días disfrutando de los Parques de atracciones, así que la ubicación, la tranquilidad del área donde se encuentra la casa fue muy buena!! Gracias por estar al pendiente de nuestras necesidades!!
we had a great stay everything was perfect!!! the hosts were responsive and easy to communicate with. we could not have asked for a better experience.. thank you
There wasn't enough time to do every activity this house has to offer! I stayed in the Pac-Man room and was not disappointed. Every room was intricately decorated and designed and it was fun just to tour the house! There are indoor as well as outdoor activities so no one will be bored on your stay!
We have stayed at The Great Escape Lakeside and The Great Escape Parkside, both of these houses are amazing. The service is out of this world. The adults have had as much fun as the kids. The slides at both houses are definitely a highlight of the houses. Before we left we already booked our stay for next year. 😁😁😁 …
This historic property is very unique. There is a beautiful lake view with a pool and hot tub. This is a huge area to hang out with a large group. There are plenty of themed bedrooms with private bathrooms. We especially loved the bistro area off the kitchen. The house was clean. The hosts were very responsive to any questions we had.
The place was absolutely wonderful. Completely quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the city, despite the central location. The lake and boating was spectacular as well. I can’t recommend Orlandos hidden gem enough. We can’t wait to come back
This was the ideal location for us. Halfway between the airport and downtown. Universal was about 20 minutes away. There is plenty to do on Austins property, we went paddle boarding, had a bonfire, did some putting, went swimming, used the hot tub, and grilled out. All in all, very happy for the price.
This place was nothing short of amazing! The property was beautiful and the house itself had everything you could want and need. We took a before school starts family vacation here and the kids all loved it but the whole time was thinking how great it would also be with other couples or for a girls trip in the future :) Would highly recommend for a large group to spend time together in luxury!!
This was a great experience, the service was amazing. We had a large group children ranging in age groups from 1 to 18. They all enjoyed them self and loved the pool and outdoor games. We found the staff very friendly and they loved the estate and it showed.
Amazing staff and super tasty food with the best lake views and cable wakeboarding to watch from their extended outside patio that wraps around the building. They even have an outside bar and so many outside tables. Cute ducks and baby turtles to see with the kiddos as well. This is definitely a great place to visit!
Beautiful property and we had an amazing time. We hosted an event here and it turned out great. Lots of space in the backyard and pretty lake view. Lots of bedrooms and new bathrooms. Only thing is that there is construction that we were unaware of going on the outside of the house. Overall great property and worked well for our event.
Austin and Jason were amazing host! The house was amazing and location as well. We had 11 people and we all were very comfortable. The sunsets and sunrises were gorgeous. The property was well maintained and very secure. The pool and hot tub was perfect. I would suggest this property to anyone and already have.
We stayed in Austins house 2 days right before attending a business conference . Everything was as described and Austin is a perfect host who is very responsive and flexible. Thank you Austin for hosting us in your house, the good tips and recommendations and the nice trip with your motor-boat. Best Sebastian
Awesome place to stay! Huge space. Great for a large group of friends or family to gather. Convenient location. Host is friendly and communicative.
Worth the price. My family rented it for a week and we hated leaving. Every one had a great time, from ages 5 months to 92 years old. Not one utterance of I'm bored from the teens/young adults. Great quarantine vacation place. Looking forward to going again.
I stayed in the Scrabble room and had a major slip in the tub. I fell out backwards and hit my back and hip and side on the tub. It was reported but the statement made was, "there should be floor mats." There was not a mat in the tub to …
Thank you for hosting us. We had a beyond than stellar time as a family and are still talking about our experience. The house was amazing and the views at sundown were so picturesque. Thanks again and we’ll be back soon!
the location is amazing to relax, bird watch and enjoy the spa pool or lake. the place is super safe since there is a gate for the property. it seems you are in another location for the calm and peace as opposed to being near the Orlando downtown.
My group and I (8 guys) planned a golf trip and were looking for a property where we can all stay together and be able to enjoy a relaxing time when we got back. The playroom and pool area did the job for us!
I’d recommend this place to anyone staying in the area or looking to book a trip with a lot of room.
This is our second year that we were staying there for the weekend. Large space, perfect for groups and large families.
Would come another time
What a blast!! Brought 30+ people and everyone had a great time! There is something for everyone; regardless of age! You MUST. do the Escape Room! I was honesty surprised at how intricate the clues were. I love that it was NOT as easy as I anticipated! Would highly recommend and gladly give FIVE STARS!
The ruiz family checked out today it was sad to leave we had the most fun and relaxation in the great escape parkside my kids are all ready talking about our next trip they rather just do the house for a week next time instead of Disney …
The venue was beautiful and my family had a wonderful time! It exceeded our expectations ! The property manager was amazing and answered any questions or needs in a very timely manner.
I would definitely go back!
We had an amazing stay! There was a group of 12 of us staying for EDC and the house was perfect size and location for our crew. Jason was very easy to get ahold of, the rooms were very spacious and the house was well stocked with everything we needed! We’ll definitely try to stay there again for next year’s EDC!
Very clean and large house with plenty of amenities in a central location that is great for large groups. Rooms and house were as picture and met all expectations. Tons of fun and games for everyone to enjoy. Would love to stay here again soon!
We really enjoyed our stay at Medina Mansion. Our family enjoyed the pickleball, inflatable kayaks, ping pong, media/movie room, HUGE kitchen, and beautiful surroundings/landscaping. The beds were comfortable, we felt safe, and the house was stocked with everything we needed (cookware, washer/dryer, dishwasher, etc.). We are definitely considering coming back again for another family reunion - it was perfect!!
This was the best time my family and I had in a long time. We truly didn’t have to go anywhere because Great Escape Lakeside had it all. The attention to detail and extremely pleasant service were top notch. I’ve recommended this place to several friends.
Recently stayed at Great Escape Parkside. What an amazing place, and run by amazing people!!! My kids and I as well as others in the group had a blast ! Will defiantly be booking with them again have a few more houses to check out! :-)
Place was awesome and experience was great! The only negative thing i can comment is that the people prior filled the trash bins to the brim and never put them out to be collected. So we unfortunately had to leave our bags of trash on the floor where the bins were since we put them out on the street to be collected. Aside from that amazing experience!
Great size for a large group. The outside space is amazing! Great hot tub, great pool, fire pit, put put! The inside of the house is older and has various signs of wear but the bedding was all clean and super comfortable. There are plenty of gathering and hang out spots inside. The pool table was a great surprise!
Me and my children absolutely love our stay. Although we didn’t get to go out on the waters with a boat. They had fun in a pool. My son got into the cold plunge to see what that was really like. That was hilarious. We also spent some time in a sauna. Overall, it was a great experience for me and my children. Thank you.
Great spot for a large group to get to stay together. Beautiful land and property. Spacious house with plenty of space and bedroom options.
Recently stayed at the great escape house and it was absolutely amazing!! So many fun rooms! Everything is so detailed oriented! Andrew and his family did a great job! The escape room was so much fun! The pool and outside area is so relaxing! Would recommend this house to anyone who wants a great escape!
I wish I could describe how engaging the game mansion is! I was there for four solid days of the StepAwayAndPlay conference, and there was barely time to both learn what I was there to learn and to take advantage of the house itself. Every inch of the place is entertaining and immersive. Too great. I can't wait to return.
We had an excellent experience
House was Super clean
Very comfortable outside kitchen was amazing wish it wasn’t raining
Austin was very helpful and answered all are questions. I would stay again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The house is quite comfortable, just like the photos, and the garden area with a view of the lake is very beautiful. The sunset there is fantastic. It is 30 min away from Kings Landing Park, well located in Orlando. The host was incredible!
This house was very spacious for our group of 13 adults. Renting the whole house gave us both levels with two kitchens, laundry, and many bedrooms. Plenty of space for everyone! There are many upgrades in the house that lead to great aesthetics! The hosts were very responsive if anything came up and were pleasant to work with.
Our stay was amazing at Medina Mansion, the property is very spacious and accommodated our large group very well, I really recommend it.
Wonderful family vacation. We never ran out of activities and games to play while we were there. And we are already planning a way to come back! Andrew was professional and extremely accomodating for the entirety of our stay, thanks for the great weekend!
Our party of 20 stayed here for three nights and we had a great time! The pool was probably where we spent the majority of our time. The lazy river was a favorite with the group. All my questions were answered quickly by Alyssa, she was very helpful and polite. We will definitely look into booking another trip in the future!
Lake Lucy is by far the best place to go if you want to just lose yourself for a moment in time. Austin has modernized the Villa, but at the same time managed to keep the Villa in its natural state.
Check in was super easy. The house was very clean when we arrived, and the view of the lake is worth every penny. Communication was excellent throughout the stay. I would recommend this house to anyone looking to have a relaxing stay.
We loved our stay at this house over the weekend. It’s the perfect summer house with fun amenities. We will be recommending this house to anyone looking for a beautiful house that is lake front. Thank you again to the host and team.
Austin was an awesome host, he was friendly, responded right away, very helpful, and we enjoyed every moment of his beautiful house.
Second time staying at a luxury estate with my family for vacation and have loved every minute of it! There are so many amazing things to do inside the house and out! Great way to spend time with a big group of people - always something new to do each day! My favorite thing was the largest word search 🤓 …
The great escape lakeside and park side are both awesome locations for big gatherings of friends and family we have been there 3 years in a row now and plan on booking the 4th as ASAP. Great place and experience I highly recommend.
Great for small groups of friends to stay at! The house is its own resort! A great place to rent and stay in and enjoy the space. One of the most beautiful and fun airbnbs I have ever stayed at
If you are looking for a place to rest and relax, this house is the one, finding a pool, Jacuzzi and sauna in one place is wonderful.
Unfortunately we had little time to enjoy it, but our next vacation will be in this beautiful house.
Awesome place to stay, very safe community, and very convenient to Orlando area. Highly recommend this place. The large deck is awesome to sit out on and relax, the view is incredible.
Good restaurants and things very close by.
This was a beautiful home, with tons of room for larger family. We had a great time by all
We had a great time on this vacation. Their communication, attentiveness, and problem solving was outstanding from the day we booked until the vacation was completed. I HIGHLY recommend this vacation home rental. My only critique would be, the pedal boat, kayaks, and canoe's were kept in poor condition.
We stayed here for a family reunion and it was amazing! Alyssa met us at check in, showed us around and answered any questions we had. There is so much to do and no one complained about being bored! We had all ages…infants to 80’s.
The home is absolutely beautiful. It was everything we hoped for, for a quick relaxing getaway. The host was quick to respond and kept in communication with us. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
The house was amazing. Great views and a pool with a screen cover that made it a little more private. Each room clean and spacious. Master bedroom bathroom was huge and the shower was wonderful. Balcony off the master bedroom was a nice great as well as the views from the master bedroom at night are gorgeous. Would recommend.
Austin was a great host even though they had just been hit by the hurricane.We loved it not far from all the parks if you have a car and great to come back and just relax with a beer by the pool.we will be booking again next year.
The house was large and spacious. We had a a family get together and it worked out great.
We are having so much fun! Playing new games that we didn’t even know existed and lots of the classics! The theater is awesome and everyone has enjoyed it at one point or another. We are really enjoying our stay. This is a really great idea for a group of people to get together, play, and enjoy a stay.
Truly enjoyed our adventure at Great Escape! The pool and lazy river were my favorite and the kids hardly had enough time to enjoy all the activities. Set in very peaceful surroundings. Highly recommend for large groups, so much space to spread out but also accommodates when everyone wants to eat and hangout with each other too.
Austin was a great host who responded promptly and helpfully to our questions. The house was well-equipped for everything we needed during our stay. Location was perfect for site-seeing. The grounds are incredibly scenic and allow for an escape from the business of Orlando. I’d definitely recommend this house, especially for a bigger party seeking a long weekend getaway!
Nos hospedamos 6 amigos que viajamos en plan de golf. La casa es excelente, cuenta con todos los servicios y esta muy bien equipada, la ubicación es excelente. La atención de Seth fue impecable. Sin dudas un lugar para recomendar.
Great location, great owners. They really respect the point of renting. Everything will be as stated. Had a couple things with some appliances not working but overall everything else was great! Thanks so much for the stay!
Great place to relax and to enjoy privacy.
I've stayed at The Great Escape Lakeside twice and The Sweet Escape once. Andrew has always been fantastic to me and so was Alyssa. Check in was a breeze! The property is always well maintained and gorgeous! Plenty of things to do! We are locals and go away for mini staycations. We always have a great time!
I haven’t stay yet, and I already love the owner Andrew Greenstein. You can tell by the comments and review, what a professional gentleman can’t wait to stay I try to call no answer will wait for the call back att Jonathan Perez
We had a wonderful time at Austin's even in the middle of a hurricane. Austin was incredibly communicative and helpful! Would definitely stay again! Thank you for everything!
my stay was pleasant only minutes away from downtown bars and clubs. the guy you rent the jet skis from super friendly as well. the space was clean hidden gem is an accurate description!! I will be coming back for the main house
At Austin's, we had a wonderful time! We would definitely stay agian! if we are in the area. The place was very relaxing! Spacious and clean! Very quiet and peaceful location. I would definitely recommend Austin's Airbnb!
Beautiful home awesome experience!!!!
At first it was a little disappointing. I was the first one there and I came to game! As the others began to arrive I couldn't get anyone to sit and play a game. The house is so fascinating that everyone wanted to tour before they would play, The great time I had anticipated turned out to be - EVEN GREATER!!
If you stay here, you're never going to want to leave. To go to the theme parks or to go home. It's amazing, there's everything a family could need to keep them and the kids entertained while they stay. It's awesome, I love it.
This is my 2nd time renting this property, and I absolutly LOVE it so did my guest! The house is stunning, and grouns are amazing. I will defenetly rent again next year.
This house was absolutely amazing! It looks like it’s in a rough area, but then you get behind the private gate and the house is like a hidden gem. Jason was extremely responsive to all my questions and incredibly accommodating!
Austin’s place was amazing. We came out here to look at some neighborhoods and take a vacation during Memorial Day weekend. It was so close to everything we wanted to do. Quiet and private place with a pool and jacuzzi!
This was exactly what we were looking for, they had a room for separate room for wedding ceremony and a big room for the reception. The house is beautiful inside and out, there's a playground for kids so the kids are occupied when they get bored, and overall look is very elegant and the property is kept at a high standard, very clean and beautiful. There are many amenities including tennis court, sauna, theater, and the downstairs is an ultimate man cave. Overall very happy that we had our wedding here, the bride has a very beautiful princess room to get ready in.
Had an amazing time at the Great Escape lakeside !!! Kids were never bored the movie theater was awesome the kids loved it! Would definitely like to come back !! beautiful family vacation The pool was amazing as well with a super fast water slide 😍 …
Had the most amazing time at this incredible mansion. The owners literally go over and beyond. We have never experienced service like that before, it was true luxury. They even sent informational emails prior to our stay that alleviated all our questions. All their houses are now on our bucket list and we can’t wait to visit them all!
Great home close to the parks and downtown Orlando. The home is beautiful and accurately pictured. Austin was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Thank you!
Fun place to stay. The master bedroom is really spacious and has a large bathroom. The pool table is a great touch. Beautiful lake view with a really nice screened-in swimming pool that is 8ft deep. Hosts had great communication.
Had a great stay at Austin's place. The neighborhood was quiet. The view from the deck was great. The house was clean and comfortable. Austin was quick to respond to any questions we had, and was an outstanding host.
The Medina Mansion did not disappoint! Large rooms full of natural light, zoned heating and cooling to keep everyone comfortable and beautiful woodwork throughout. So much to appreciate about this place!
The Medina Mansion was the perfect venue for our daughters December wedding. The bride and bridesmaids loved getting ready in the princess room. They had their ceremony in the round room, cocktail hour in the game room and the reception in the event hall. The bride and groom greatly enjoyed the unique and gorgeous interior spaces for their wedding photos- especially the speakeasy!
What a fabulous place. We had so much fun. There were fun things to do for all ages. We had family from 62 years old to 1 year. I never heard "I'm bored" or I don't have anything to do. All I heard was giggling, laughter and when can we return. What a glorious and relaxing weekend. Thank you so much. Et
This house is great fun for the whole family. Especially, for the kids or the kid in you ...😊
My family stayed for 3 days. September 8th through September 11th. You may need to add a few more days; we didn't want to leave. …
We had an absolutely wonderful stay. It totally fit the bill as we had a few days to explore the area and then a couple days to visit with family and enjoy the property. It totally accommodated kids and old people and made for a wonderful reunion. The host was very responsive as to the concerns we had when we first got there and we were able to work through it and it was a wonderful vacation.
Loved this place so much we have booked here twice! The location is great, it is close to downtown but also about 20 minutes from Disney! It has great amenities and the hosts were always quick to respond! Great place to stay!
Beautiful home, great pool and a nice neighborhood. We booked 3 hours before arriving after our flights home were cancelled. The host was great and it was a great value vs getting 3 hotel rooms near the airport.
We recently stayed here and honestly, it was an experience we won't forget anytime soon. The place was massive, with more than enough room for our large group, and every corner of the house was decked out in luxury. The host was super chill and responsive, giving us all the tips we needed to make the most of our stay and the local area. The pool area was a total hit, especially with the kids, and the kitchen had everything we could possibly need to cook up some epic meals. Sure, the place had a couple of quirks – a squeaky door here, a tricky light switch there – but it all added to the character of the mansion. All in all, it was a fantastic getaway, and we're already plotting our return next year.
Fascinating. It's like being in a movie. Each room is decorated with a different theme. It has play areas for both children and adults. The pool is very inviting, and you can go boating on the lake. The house has all the necessary amenities and is beautiful. It's a dreamlike place, in direct contact with nature.
We just spent 6 days here at the Great Escape Parkside and we had a great time with the family!! The water slide and lazy river were the best part of it all. We also did the Clue Escape Rooms and it was a great experience.
We had a great time celebrating my wife's 40th Birthday! The home was exactly what we were looking for with amazing 100 year old features as well as modern touches.
This house is amazing! Was a great spot for me and my buddies to stay on my wedding weekend.
Their communication was swift and we had a great stay!
The surrounding neighborhood is somewhat off putting and could be unsettling for some, but the neighbors and the house itself could not be any nicer and I would definitely stay here again!
Very good experience. Nice and quiet neighborhood. Austin was very friendly and helpful. Always super fast response. Awesome opportunity to get wakeboard lessons from a world class athlete. Highly recommended.
We traveled with our flag football team and coaches. We couldn’t have found a better place for our group of 22. The house was the perfect size to give everyone privacy but also allowed the boys to let their energy out with so many options for activities. From skipping rocks to fishing, running around outside playing football, the game room inside, the poker room in the basement, the movie theater, the fire pit for s’mores, soaking in the hot tub and sauna.
The rooms were spacious and bathrooms were perfect for sharing. The kitchen was the heart of our meals making us feel right at home.
We had an event daily an hour away in Canton but couldn’t find hotels with 3 star reviews or higher. Book the Medina Mansion, it’s so worth it and the price was a great values for our group to be under 1 roof. The hosts are extremely responsive and made our stay 5 stars. Book it, you won’t regret it. The memories made here are going to last our 14 Maui boys a lifetime. Mahalo Nui loa Medina Mansion!
Thank you for the great time- the family really enjoyed the stay over all. The ideas were just fantastic and well thought out. Your escape room was very difficult lol but so cool. The staff was very nice- everything was clean and well maintained.
We are here now and this is a great vacation place for family, friends and for all ages and we plan to continue this and try all the locations. Thanks for a great experience and the coustemer service here is exceptional.
We held a family reunion there and the property was perfect for the event. We also stayed an extra week and just relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful views.
Communication was great. They were understanding, the place was awesome. We bbq’d, took a boat out on the lake the water was amazing. Hit the pool, jacuzzi, relaxed, great Bday... Wish we could stay longer. Thanks again.
Jessamine lane was perfect for my sisters Harry Potter bachelorette weekend! Whenever we had questions or an issue, Austin and his team were responsive and helpful. I’d definitely recommend staying here!
I booked this for my 40th birthday, and couldn't have asked for a better time! Alyssa was fantastic at check in, and was beyond welcoming. All of the amenities were amazing, especially the lazy river. Can't recommend Great Escape Lakeside enough!
It was really fun theres so many cool rooms and arcade games and the pool in the back is really big too and it has a lazy river with a slide it even has a movie theather i really suggest coming here for a family vacation
We had a wonderful experience booking Lake Lucy Estate for our wedding. It was a very intimate ceremony and reception with more than enough room for our family, friends, and caterers. We loved having our wedding party with us the night before, it truly made the weekend more special for me and my husdband. The grounds and house are so well kept and clean; it truly is a beautiful house with a lot of history.
Had a wonderful and relaxing weekend fishing the lake and watching the sunset while fireworks went off from disney were visible as well and made our view amazing. Very clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend.
Austin's house was exactly as described! Super clean and everything was super accessible. We rented the jet ski and boat for the day and it was the best decision ever. Def coming back with friends!
A great place to stay where all your guest can be under one roof. Fun for both kids and adults. There is so much to do and see that it’s hard to fit it all in a long weekend. We will have to come and spend a longer time. The property is stunning.
This place is a blast! Our entire family ages 1-65 have not been bored or should I say “Board”...There is always something to do. Even the kitchen table and coffee table are games. This is the ultimate Themed vacation home. We are already planning our next vacation.
We have 8 families represented this week. We hope to add more next time!
Great house for quick weekend trip! Had a concert to attend at the fairgrounds which is a convenient 15 minutes away. You could actually hear the music from the backyard. Plenty of space for our large group.
Spent most of our time in the pool and got tub since…Florida. Was also an easy trip to Winter Park and Winter Garden for some afternoon cocktails.
Recommend the house and the hosts. Great trip.
The stay was great my friends and I truly enjoyed the weekend. The hosts were very responsive and helpful with whatever we needed. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a weekend on a lake.
This place was great, clean, & felt homie! Area was peaceful & felt safe. Austin answered all my questions in a timely manner & has a list of recommendations for any first timers visiting Orlando!
This was the most fun I’ve had on vacation in years! I love that our whole group was able to stay in one location with TONS of onsite fun. With little kids, this house was a huge win! We personally spent hours playing with the human bowling …
Our group had an amazing 3 days at The Great Escape Parkside this week. So many things to do; couldn’t even put a dint into the activities offered.
Everyone loved it.
When I get pictures from everyone I’ll post them.
My family was in need of a beautiful location for my late mothers memorial service. We had people flying in from 6 different states and some of out of the country. Lake Lucy was the literal perfect venue for a memorial service that honored my late mothers strong desire for family and family gatherings. Staff was superior in taking care of all of our needs and the home was just perfect. I would recommend to anyone.
The house is beautiful & incredibly spacious with amazing sunset views! Our group had a spectacular time staying here and we would definitely stay here again it was close to everything we needed for the weekend!
Beautiful place! My family and I had the best time at Austin’s place. We rented jet’s skis and they brought them right outside the lake. The house was very spacious. We will definitely be back.
I mean, seriously. There is no way NOT to have fun here! So many games to pick up and play, so many activities to try. Our group ranged from preschool to high school to my parents in their 70s and everyone had fun. The escape room is a must …
We came for our friends bachelorette/bachelor party it was fun for all ages! From toddlers to adults! We highly recommend this place for any get together with a big group! Plenty of space and every room is amazing!!!
We hosted a corporate retreat here this past weekend and it did not disappoint. We all had an absolute blast and we would for sure go back!!
The house and view of the lake was beautiful. Very comfortable, spacious, and clean inside. The hosts were also clear with instructions and they were easy to communicate. I definitely recommend this location!
Great spot. Austin is a very good host and an even better wakeboard coach :-). This is a great spot if you want to take time to enjoy Florida Living away from the madness of the theme parks.
Had a great time during a recent stay and this was the first place I’ve been on a family trip where there was enough to keep (almost) all of the kids away from their mobile distraction devices and actively engaged in playing. That pool and …
Had another great visit to the Great Escape locations! The rooms are clean and very detailed with themes, games, and visual variety. The pool at the Parkside resort is top notch. Fun for family and friends, all!
This place is magical. Austin was attentive and a friendly host and all our needs were anticipated ahead of time- we cant wait to return !
The place has a great view from the master bedroom! Everything was extremely clean and the hosts are extremely helpful with any questions we had! I definitely plan on staying again if I’m ever in the area.
This property was absolutely perfect for our golf trip! Spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed to relax after a day on the course. The location was ideal, with beautiful views and easy access to local amenities. The host was attentive and made sure our stay was seamless. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient getaway!
A bunch of my friends and family came here to celebrate my 40th birthday. The place was amazing! Everything was very clean and in proper working order. The owners were very friendly and were prompt to respond to the couple of minor issues we had along the way. Overall great experience, and would highly recommend!
This is a great place to visit with your family, it have everything y’all will need,15 bedrooms 2 refrigerator a full grill area with outdoor activities 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 and much much more, so please do check them out …
We really enjoyed our stay here. The hosts were so accommodating for our specific needs for this trip and the venue. Highly recommend!
A clean, beautiful house with an amazing outdoor space. We spent almost no time indoors with that screened in porch and pool. The whole group loved every minute and we can't wait to rebook for next year!
A fantastic stay at a lake house in Orlando! The place, pool, and hot tub were clean. Great to be on the lake and took advantage of the boat rental. Perfect location to the Orlando Airport, Disney and Universal. Austin was a wonderful host and very responsive. More than enough room for seven of us and our dog. We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!
I live Directly across the lake from The Great Escape and y'all just put on an INCREDIBLE fireworks show. Saturday 11/23. I would really love to come do a tour of the property and post it to social media if you would let me! We hear you guys partying from across the lake and I always wish I was invited to that party!
Just came back from a few day stay with a smaller group of friends and we all had the most amazing time!!! The house is super fun and very clean! Pictures online don’t do it justice. The owners are fantastic and always available during your stay for any questions or concerns. I highly recommend The Great Escape Parkside! We will definitely come back
The house was super nice. Great view. House was beautiful. Clean. Communication was good. Perfect location. Happy with the stay. 9/10
If you are wanting an escape with a beautiful view and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors, this spot is for you. The sunsets on the lake and the hot tub being so accessible are huge pluses. While it sleeps up to 15, it’s also a great place for couples or a few friends for a calm retreat. And, if you like birdwatching or stargazing, bring your binoculars!
We are a family of 5 and spent a week in Austins place visiting family as well as going to local attractions. Austins place is a great location near downtown Orlando as well as the parks and beaches. There was alot of attention to detail in the house, and Austin was always quick to respond to our messages. I would highly recommend staying here, and hope to do so again soon.
The Great Escape Lakeside was amazing!! My sister and I celebrated our 40th birthday with a group of 25 friends and family. We spent a lot of time in the pool with a beautiful lake view. We also LOVE playing human foosball, Family Feud and …
We found all of the Monopoly Properties! It was a fun activity for everyone here!
I loved the never ending game. So creative! The lazy river was amazing!
You had lots to do for everyone! We hope to be back!
Enjoyed the stay. Great place for a reunion. Lot's of space and beds to spread out. House is beautiful and the pool area is great.
The space worked out great for our quick gathering in Orlando. Beautiful setting on the lake with stellar sunsets both nights we were there. Hot tub was a plus on the cool evenings during our stay.
It was a great vacation stay! Just as advertised it’s beautiful, spacious , and very clean. The communication was excellent they got back to me in very little time at all with any questions I had . The pool was definitely my favorite (it was my sons first time in a Swimming pool and he loved it)! I would definitely recommend this place! I would love to book with them again!
What a vacation! From the start, the owner was so nice and communicated with us every step of the way. Andrew was so informative and helpful. The property was absolutely beautiful and the whole group loved every minute. So kid friendly and …
My family has vacationed at multiple Great Escape properties and every time has been AMAZING! We have loved every minute and keep coming back for more! Would highly recommend for any family or large group!!
Spacious and fun property that met all our needs! Great pool, yard, kitchen, and living area that made hosting easy and fun.
This home is exactly as pictured. The views are amazing. The dock was perfect for us. The home was spacious and clean. The hot tub was relaxing. The host is very responsive. I highly recommend.
House was very clean and comfortable. Host was very responsive and timely with communication. They are on a great lake to rent the pontoon boat for the day. Would stay here again.
We just stayed with 6 families for our kid’s Mardi Gras Break. From ages 9-48 we all had a blast! Family feud, the giant word search, the slide, hot tub and human foosball were a few of my favorite things! So much fun we wish we could have …
3rd time staying here at one of the great escape vacation spots. Great place to spend family vacation once a year we will be customers forever! Can't go wrong with this spot! All 40 of us feel the same way!
Host is great at answering any questions you may have about the home. House is beautiful and the pool area is a great touch.
We rented this location for a golf trip in early October. The house was very accommodating to all of our needs and sleeping arrangements! We had no issues gaining access and no issues while we were there. They made the checkout instructions very simple and easy to follow as well! We're already discussing getting this same place for our trip next year as well!
This rental was very clean and owner was very accessible and accommodating. And, if you are looking for a rental near the cypress grove estate house, this is the perfect place
We had an amazing weekend at the Great Escape Lakeside celebrating my dad’s 50th birthday with 26 of our closest friends! Every detail was both intricate and intentional, and three days was NOT enough time to experience everything in full. …
The Great Escape Parkside is an adventure the second you walk through the door. A challenge in every room! Amazing games even outside! I challenge everyone to book your next vaca here! You will love it!
La casa es muy grande y espaciosa el patio y la parte de atras muy bonita y agradable,pero la casa necesita ser remodelada.
What a cool place! Loved the indoor pool, hot tub and water view from the deck. Close to the parks and sleeps a large group comfortably. Thanks Jason for allowing us to stay and enjoy your home!
Austin was a great host. He was very prompt in responding to our inquiries and questions. I'd highly recommend Austin's house for families and groups of friends alike !
Great Escape is fantastic. Seeing pictures and the website video beforehand, you actually go there thinking it's going to be pretty great. But in person, it surpasses even the highest expectations! It's awesome. Plenty to do during day and …
Great themed Airbnb! Impeccable attention to detail. There are so many things to do, truly you can't possibly get bored. You don't even have to leave the property. Perfect for family vacations or reunions!!
Great house for large groups, very unique house. The outdoor area is awesome and so was the detached bar next to the house!
The place is a great place to stay for a group Family vacation. It’s spacious and It has a wonderful view! We had the opportunity to catch a beautiful sunset while chilling by the outside deck.
A very quaint neighborhood with its charm and a feel of being in real suburbs, while only 15 min away from the big city and entertainment. Lake access presents many opportunities for water sports (Austin offers it all!). All necessities are available to make your stay comfortable away from home. Easy access, check-in, and timely host communications helped to make our family stay enjoyable.
This is our second stay at Andrew’s luxury estates. The first was Sweet Escape a few years ago. This time we stayed at Great Escape Lakeside with our 5 children/spouses, 4 grandchildren, and a few other close relatives. We stayed 8 nights …
This place is insane!!! The owners are awesome! I can’t wait to go back. You don’t even have to be a fan of games to enjoy this place. And the backyard!!! Wow just no words of how great our time was here!
Wonderful home with tons of space and amazing amenities to accommodate my large family and venue needs. Highly recommend.
We had a great stay at Clear Lake Oasis...and it is appropriately named...an oasis in the middle of Orlando. The view of the lake is beautiful...especially at sunset when the light of the sun setting dances over the lake. Austin and his team are very responsive. Would definitely recommend this property and look forward to coming back! Definitely a five-star review!
Myself and other employees travel throughout Florida. And enjoy the stay at this Airbnb, pool was clean hot tub was immaculate. I would suggest that everyone stay here
The Great Escape Lakeside House was the perfect get away for our group friends! We are local to Orlando, so it was an easy vacation. We felt like we were in a different place, but we were not too far from home. The game themed bedrooms …
It’s a great big house where you can share lots of memories with your whole family and friends we have a great time in the pool playing games and cook outs nice place to stay if you have lots of people
You are not going to find many place like the Lake Lucy Estate. It has about 3 acres of private space with large rooms and full bathrooms in almost every room. Lake Lucy Estate is such a unique and beautiful property. It’s is close enough to everything Orlando has to offer but when you are on the property it’s like your own private oasis. We grew up in Orlando and come to visit often and definitely will be returning to Lake Lucy Estate.
We had a great time during our stay in Orlando. Clear Lake Oasis is definitely an oasis in the middle of Orlando...the property itself is beautiful...the view from the master bedroom...the sunset over the lake...all in all the space was perfect for our needs and we look forward to visiting the oasis again! Austin and his team were very responsive...definitely 5 stars!
Amazing experience! Great view, very helpful and friendly. I only wish I had more time to do a full day of wake boarding. I'll gladly be back again in the future.
I stayed at the Great Escape Lakeside a few weeks ago with a bunch of friends just for a mini vacation to celebrate a friend’s 40th bday party. Initially I had no idea what to expect. But it honestly couldn’t have been better! We stayed 4 …
This escape house is incredible. Better than five star hotel! The n owners are phenomenal , helpful, respectful, pleasant and go out of their way to make your stay the best it can be. Looking Forest to
Beautiful property, easy to communicate with host and 100% satisfaction with booking. Would definitely book again!
Booked on very short notice and it still felt like home! Guest house was super clean and they were flexible with check in time! Response time to any question I had was fast! Thanks again
Great find for our extended family!! Place offers plenty of togetherness spots and space enough to retreat away from the group. Putting green was our fam fav!!!
We had the MOST AWESOME friends “bubble group “ vacation ever. This place is the PERFECT place to do a pandemic vacation. Our group were all COVID tested before coming. The owners have super cleaning procedures! Staff awesome! We had 8 …
Was a great time. Had a company cookout and my family also stayed and our kids from 2-16 all had a blast. Great place to spend as a family! The staff was also great and accommodating. Highly recommend!
Everything was a success, super good communication. without any problem and always on time to get there and leave.
Austin's place was great! And Seth, the property manager that lives on premises, was very nice. It is a very spacious house, with a beautiful view of the lake. We were able to take advantage of the awesome hot tub, and the pool looked inviting but the weather was too cold to be able to enjoy it. We will definitely look this place up again if we need to stay in the area.
Home was very welcoming and clean! The perfect space and distance from anything I had put my mind to! I would definitely recommend and reserve this house again!
I am blown away by the Great Escape Family. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was the best it could be. The facilities were clean and the grounds were well kept. The entire house was so put together— it was beyond impressive. …
This was a really fun vacation! The kids really enjoyed the pool and the midway, the escape rooms where fun, and the Xbox room was killer! The theater room was always used. We had an absolute blast!!
Love our stay enough rooms for family beautiful property. Definitely will stay and would stay again
My family of 7 truly enjoyed this property. It is very spacious, and equipped with everything you may need. It is located close to downtown Orlando where there are plenty of restaurants and shops. The beautiful lake in the back was perfect for our early morning coffee. It was exactly as Austin explains in the listing. I will definitely be going back when I visit Orlando again.
Place was great, we loved the pool and the lake. Convenient to downtown and the theme parks. The how’s was super and everything was nice and clean as described.
Great Escape Lakeside was amazing! We had a group of 19 adults and everyone had a blast! The Clue escape rooms were challenging and fun. The giant word search kept everyone staring at the wall finding words every time they walked by. The …
The house is beautiful and very clean. It has a lot of activities and games to keep you busy. The pool is fantastic especially the lazy river. Highly recommend staying at The Great Escape Parkside!
Absolutely great stay! Austin was responsive any time we needed something. Property was beautiful.
Awesome place! Everything was as advertised. The hosts were very kind and quickly responded to questions. Beautiful home and very peaceful location. We'd definitely stay here again.
This was a great place to stay. I truly enjoyed the peacefulness and the view of the sun rise.
I will on scheduling another trip and reserve this home again.
I can't say enough about how much fun my family had here! We had a large group but never felt like we were crowded. It's well appointed and the kitchen is very well stocked. The kids loved the pool and all the games. Their staff went …
The Great Escape Parkside was by far the best vacation I've ever had. I didn't want to leave. There are so many entertaining games to play that it is impossible to be bored. The time flies when your having fun and 4 days is just not enough time to experience everything. We couldn't decide who was having more fun, the kids or the adults. This place is amazing!
Love staying at this beautiful location, was such a a comfortable stay and the host was amazing.
The House was in the Perfect location for us, plenty of Room and the Amenities it offers were great, House was very Clean and as sohown in all the pictures we were not disapointed
I stayed here with a group of my friends for the weekend and we had a great time! The set up of the house is very unique and super fun for hanging out.
Such a fun game house. As an avid gamer, it was nostalgic to see a number of old arcade games that I’ve never even heard of before. It’s a family-friendly place for all ages. A very challenging escape room. A pool with a slide and a hot …
Unbelievable home. Plenty of room for groups, so many things to appeal to any guest of any age. The service is absolutely top notch. Exceeded every single expectation. Can't wait to come back!!!
Had a wonderful stay it was such a beautiful scenery. And so many activities around the estate.
Wonderful house on a beautiful lake with amazing amenities - pool, hot tub and dock. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy all that the Orlando area has to offer. Definitely recommend.
great location with quick access to cypress grove. Hosts were very hospitable and went above and beyond to welcome us and ensure we had a great stay!
Just back from a great, long weekend at Great Escape Lakeside! We had three generations together for a reunion, and everyone had fun. The lazy river and water slide kept kept different ages playing together. The human bowling ball was a …
This place is amazing. You will not be bored in this house. There are so many things to do. The pool and lazy river is one of the coolest things I've seen. The water slide was so much fun and really fast. Also the clue escape room was so much fun I didn't want it to end. I cannot wait to try one of there other houses! I will be back try the great escape lakeside!
Beautiful property and Austin communicates well. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity.
Villa has amazing facilities, beautiful pool and great location. Everything was super clean, communication with host was smooth and overall experience very, very pleasant.
Austin was a great host. He responded immediately to my questions before my arrival. The place was clean and the pool view is so peaceful and private.
The great escape was the most memorable and awaking experience we had with family and friends. We celebrated my sons barmitzvah. We even had a special visit from Skyler the lab who goes down the water slide for the kids. We saw baby …
Absolute, great time for the whole family. Can’t wait to experience the other properties. Also the owner was very down-to-earth, professional and helpful. Excellent all-around experience.
The property and the precious people who run this property are one of a kind. Truly were the best part of my entire wedding planning process from day one. On the actual day of my wedding, they had everything and more, prepared for us when it came to information and guidelines. All the guest loved it and we even had a friend who said “this truly is the Florida experience summed up in one place.” My now husband are already talking about booking again for an anniversary!
This was such a fantastic place to rent. The service of everyone involved was incredible. Ghita and Austin, along with Charlie ensured that our stay was totally enjoyable from beginning to end. If I needed anything, what so ever, the team was INCREDIBLY helpful and professional. I actually would love to come back to this location and do it all over again for a much longer period of time.
Austin was a great host, quick communication and available to answer. The home is perfect for families with an open floor plan and pool! Thank you!
We recently stayed here and it was AMAZING! We had so much fun with all the different games and super creative rooms. It was truly nonstop laughs and endless exploration. The amenities are seriously unreal, and the entire property is so …
This place is perfect! So much fun! So much to do and the pool large enough for everyone! Scavenger hunt is so much fun and gets the whole house involved as a team! Highly recommend!
Great location and serene surroundings! Plenty of space for our team, we felt at home.
If there is one word that I could describe this place: oasis. This is truly a diamond in the roughs. The view of lake from the master bedroom in the morning and afternoon is breathtaking. The beds are more than accommodation for larger groups. Also, there were too many amenities that we were not able to take advantage of. If you are planning for more than a weekend here, look no further.
The home was conveniently located between Epic Universe and WDW - about 20-30 minutes to each. We loved the heated pool. As listed in other views, the home (furniture) are well worn. If you are looking for new, this is not the place. We knew what we wanted going in - pool, pet friendly, outside space, some privacy. The hosts - Epic Vacation and the property manager - were very responsive, friendly and helpful.
Awesome weekend with the family at The Great Escape Lakeside. We had kids of all ages in the pool and lazy river for 3 days straight! The slide is now a must have for all future reunions. The kitchen was awesomely stocked with cooking …
This house is AMAZING!!! Coolest thing we have been to and the hosts are also amazing with support and everything! Will be making this a regular trip to each of the other themed houses
This house was the absolute perfect location for my bachelorette party. There was plenty of room for me and my girls, plus the pool/hot tub/lake area was awesome. I also loved the kitchen space, the uniqueness of the rooms, and that the rooms had tvs (we cuddled and watched Disney movies). This was the perfect reset space after doing parks all day! Thank you Austin and hope team for taking such great care of us. 10/10 recommend if you’re planning an event in the Orlando area!
This home was nothing short if a dream come true. The views ti the lake from the lanai was breathtaking. All the bedrooms had extremely comfortable beds and I slept like a queen. I would recommend this place to anyone that needs to get away and relax. My family and I will definitely be coming back. The communication between me and the hosts was always fast and effective. Thank you Austin.
The location was perfect! Loved the amenities. Pool, hot tub, golf hole and a fire pit. House was big enough to accommodate my family comfortably.
We had a blast with a group of adults here. Tons to do and never get bored. Would be incredible for kids as well. The hosts were very responsive and even brought us some mattress pads the same day we asked for a couple beds that were a little stiff. Recommend for any group that likes games. Pool and slide were amazing too.
Just spent an amazing 4 nights at the Great Escape Parkside with 35 family members! Great customer service and great accommodations!! From 8 months to 80 years old, all had a blast!
We had a wonderful time and the property is gorgeous, can’t wait to go back!
We celebrated our birthdays and had access to amazing amenities and an easy drive to downtown Orlando and the surrounding attractions. We had a great and relaxing stay.
We had a wonderful weekend staying here. The house was spacious, comfortable, and beautiful. The lakefront view provided a relaxing environment.
We had a big family Thanksgiving here and had the BEST time. Ages 7-85, something for everyone! Highly recommend!!! The owners and staff are the BEST I’ve had. Thank you! We will be trying one of your other places next time for sure!
Had an amazing time and was so impressed with all the details. I had to share on social media for everyone to see and have been asked by different people already who are interested.
Austin and his team were wonderful. Very quick to respond and willing to help with any issues and also gave very clear instructions to enter. Check out was a breeze. The house is old so keep that in mind but it is part of the charm of staying there. They have updated A LOT. The kitchen is beautiful with new appliances. The AC works wonderfully. We held a luncheon for our non-profit out by the pool and it was beautiful. Plenty of space for a party of 50 and a great view on the lake!
This house was perfect for us! Close to the theme parks but also a hidden gem on the lake. Pet friendly and managed by two awesome people who were welcoming and friendly. Their dogs became best friends with our pup and it was truly a highlight of our trip. Felt like we were staying at a friends house. The house had everything we needed, pool ans hot tub were amazing. Would highly recommend
This was our second time staying at this house and yet again we were not disappointed! Thanks again for an amazing stay and being a great host!
We had the BEST experience. We stayed at the Great escape lakeside & can not complain. From before getting there and taking to Ginger getting everything we needed, to arriving and meeting Harley which is just as wonderful as the house …
Omg we had the best vacation at the great escape. So many things to do for the whole family. The hunt for the lotto ticket was fun and holding the record for the fastest time to complete the world’s biggest maze is exciting. I completed it in less than 10 mins!!!! It was so much fun and the kids are still talking about it. Great Escape is awesome. You won’t regret booking it!!!!
Thé pool is amazing , big , relaxing , private and beautiful lake view.
We had 2 families stay here and had a blast! The pool was the best and we were able to get to Universal studios with ease. We loved the balcony and the patio as well.
Austin is a warm and friendly host with a spectacular location for renting, he also answered all of our inquiries immediately. Sparkling clean and myriad amenities for our enjoyment. Space for days with just our party of two. The private pool with hot tub and the proximity to the lake + every Orlando attraction honestly make this a must book for renting parties small and large. You've gotta stay here if you're able!
The Great Escape Lakeside was worth every $$ spent. If your looking for a great getaway for a big family reunion or just with friends this place will not disappoint you I promise. The home with all the games will keep you busy not to …
This place is amazing!! We have LOVED being able to bring the families together with the comforts of a home. Highly recommend for families looking to be together and comfortable!
We loved staying in this house and the seclusion it offered with a pool and on a small private lake- so nice to wake up and have coffee overlooking the water and seeing florida wildlife.
It was only a 20 minute drive to universal which was convenient and less then 15 minutes to a cute area of shopping and restaurants called Winter Garden.
Check in was simple and the home is on a big fenced in property so you feel like you’re in your own little world.
Overall had a really nice time !
This was the perfect pick for a lake weekend. It was clean and had all the amenities we were looking for. It felt safe with the security gate and seemed hidden away when entering. The sunset view from the hot tub was beautiful and boating around Clear Lake was fun. The only issue is that you need a key for the boat ramp but luckily we acquired one from a friend. We also loved how tropical it felt.
Had a great stay here with a large group. Was a very clean and spacious place with great amenities. Highly recommend if in the Orlando area!
I did this for a 30th birthday blowout and wow was I glad I did! It was about 20 of me and my friends and all our minds were blown even just on getting there. There was so much to do, so many amazing things to see, and even got some …
This place is simply “insane”. I stayed with college/post college kids and their friends. The laughs and fun shared playing the seemingly infinite number of games was priceless.
Beautiful place, perfect for a large group. Nice and relaxing.
most beautiful place! great location, peaceful and quiet. and they provide you with everything. communication was on point. thank you so much for hosting us.
The communication from epic rentals was great, fast replies on all my questions, House was very clean and big.
Highly Recommended!
We totally enjoyed our stay at the Great Escape Lakeside. There was something for everyone. The house was clean, everything worked and the host was awesome and available if we had any questions. We definitely plan to come back!
Went for a family vacation. My daughters turned 11. This place was awesome we enjoyed the pool the most. The kids wore them selves out and we have already booked our next trip.
Great place. Will definitely book again. Thank you so much .
This house was awesome! Renting the boat is a must…highlight of our stay. Jason was great with communication and super friendly. Thanks for everything.
Everything was great! The pool and hottub were awesome to have available to us. The house was very clean and perfect for our group!
Had a really good time here on a family vacation- my only complaint was Google Maps not getting you as close to the house as would be helpful. I've since submitted a correction, and think that should resolve the biggest issue. …
What a fantastic place. So much to do, we never had a dull moment. They have thought of everything here. And if we needed anything they came as soon as we called. Great place!!
Incredible place, clean and homey. Great for group stays
This place is fantastic! There was plenty of room for all of my groomsmen and it was a very convenient drive to downtown Orlando where the wedding was.
Nice spot in a quiet neighborhood close to everything! Austin is always quick to respond to messages and the house was super clean!
We scheduled our family reunion here and I'm so glad we did. This is a great space for a large gathering. We never felt cramped and the diverse activities kept kids and adults well occupied. We're already planning another visit!
A truly remarkable house, something to do for everyone in our group! From ages 2 - 75!
The detail and workmanship put into this house is amazing! We hope to come back one day!
Great place! Super responsive host! Would recommend.
We stayed one night for jelly roll concert at Kia Center and the owner was very helpful and accommodating. We had a short stay but really enjoyed it.
This property is absolutely stunning. Hosts were prompt and very responsive. Has everything you need - the sauna was incredible and the hot tub became a nightly gathering for everyone. The split plan (upstairs unit and downstairs unit) having 3 bedrooms, kitchens, dining, living spaces, etc created enough space between all my guests so everyone was able to enjoy the needed peaceful moments on the trip. CANT WAIT to stay again!
Stayed at the great escape lakeside for a weekend 2/26 wedding and it was amazing....there was something for everyone...tons of games and the pool area was the BEST!!! dont underestimate that waterslide👌
10/10 would go again …
All I can say is WOW!! The detail of every single room is amazing. They even have an escape room “clue” that was challenging to solve. This is definitely a must see and stay.
Beautiful home,
Great host, definitely coming back
It is a true oasis with the outdoor pool area, right on the lake! Great size for the home. Lot of space! The lake / pool view was really relaxing.
Austin’s house was so beautiful and clean in a perfect location with an amazing view. We loved everything about this house. A+++
Great time here even in the rain. Plenty to do for folks of all ages. We have people here from 4 to 74 and no one was bored for a moment. Lots to do both inside and outside. Very creative venue. Escape room was a lot of fun. My grandson set a record getting through the laser room in 9.0 seconds!!! Would come back again for more fun.
We have had an amazing vacation at the Great Escape Parkside. Our party of ages 18 months to grandparents all had lot and lots to do. The swimming pool and hot tub are large and well designed!
It’s been a wonderful place to reconnect with family while playing, laughing, and exploring. Andrew and Belinda have a beautiful vision for lovely spaces and places to enjoy each other’s company.
Everything is as advertised! Book with confidence!
The house itself was beautiful! It was also only 12 mins away from universal which was so convenient. My friends and I absolutely loved staying here.. we loved watching the sunset on the dock/ patio. It was in a safe gated area. Honestly one of the best weekends we’ve had and the house just made it 10x better. This is an 11/10 place to stay and you’d be crazy if you didn’t stay here aha. Definitely coming back !
Nice place next to park and attractions . Austin was great with communication and the amenities were nice for family and kids.
So amazing!!!! Clean organized so perfect for families, or fun with friends. Can't not say enough positive things about this place!! I would come back a million times over. Thank you Hreat Escapes for an amazing weekend!!!
My experience at The Great Escape Parkside was phenomenal. The amenities are outrageous and really make you feel like a kid again. A great place for family and friends.
Best host and property in Orlando ! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved it , the only thing is wish the water was hot when I took a shower it was not hot besides that definitely coming back for the main house
We loved staying at this property, the host were really friendly and the house was beautiful. We would love to come back soon!
This was a family Christmas gift and couldn’t be happier with it. Beautiful setting, great accommodations, something for everyone! Our party of 30 was very comfortable! Would definitely recommend for people of all ages!!
My family had a great time at the house and everything was great the pool was fun and the lazy river too and the games in the backyard was fun thanks for everything
Very relaxing. We had a great time.
The house itself was honestly perfect, was clean and a very clean/fun set up. Plenty of room/beds and was awesome being on the lake. We also rented the boat which was a ton of fun. The only issue with the house was the surrounding area however it was fully gated and had plenty of cameras for security. It's not really in their control
I definitely would recommend and would go back if I needed to be in Orlando again.
Great location,10-15 min to get anywhere. Very spacious and large enough for 6-8 people Will stay again if back in Orlando.
Absolutely amazing stay here. The entire house is a game , definitely a vacation itself. The waterslide and pool is phenomenal. If I could leave 10 stars I would , cause this house is a piece of art. Highly recommended!
This place is amazing!!! Staff is incredibly helpful and the house was very clean. The kids are all making memories that they will always treasure! 100% worth it!
Great lcoation for a large group!
The house was beyond beautiful, clean. The view is soooo beautiful!!!
The property manager Jason was attentive. I recommend this property!
Austin and Lisa were incredible hosts; a great, beautiful home where I believe any Orlando visitors would love to stay.
Booked this house for my bachelorette and it was so amazing! My group had an amazing time and the owner and his team were extremely responsive and attentive to us. Highly recommend this place! I can’t wait to come back!
You couldn’t ask for a better place to gather with the family!! We had the most amazing time and the staff was very helpful and attentive to any needs we had.
Great house with great amenities!
Austin, Seth & Kylee were very responsive and comprehensive to our needs for check in / check out. We had great communication all the time.
Clean and comfortable space in a nice location, convenient to downtown. 1 king bed, 1 queen bed, 1 twin bed, 1 futon.
we had a fantastic time at this house neither myself nor family was ready to leave this was by far one of the best choices for my family vacation i will definitely be coming back but next time to stay longer than 4 days
All the game options are amazing. House is well equipped and comfortable. Lazy river in the pool is really nice. Great option for a large group to enjoy.
Everything was set up nice
Our family of 5 had a great week at this house. He owner went above and beyond to answer any questions that we had. Great location too!
Great place to stay! Everything was clean and it’s a great place to stay with kids. Really enjoyed the pool and view!
If I could give 10 stars, I would! We hosted an event with about 60 people from around the world and it went so great! Everyone had a blast playing all the different games, swimming, and exploring the wild property! …
Thank you for the remarkable design!
We had the greatest time! Every room is full of joy! Truly enjoyed our time there!
Can’t wait to see the others!
Amazing location. 10/10.
Amazing place!!! Had so much fun with my friends. The pool was amazing, they were so quick to respond, and would definitely book again!
Austin's place was just as you see in the pictures. A very clean house and very comfortable for more than one family. There were clean towels in the restroom so we could use and the house overall was all very clean. The house is also in a very good location in a nice neighborhood being close to the theme parks and downtown Disney. Austin also replies very quick so if there are any questions, he always makes sure he replies as soon as he can.
Stayed here for the first time this weekend. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time! So many games, activities and fun to be had. Great for spending quality time with the family without having to leave the house.
They’ve done something awesome here! What a fun place. Great for any age. Our family had a blast and we’ll definitely be rebooking in the near future!
Beautiful place!
The house was awesome and the host was great. It was everything we expected and more. We booked this house for a bachelor party. Plenty of room for 6+ men. The pool and hot tub was a nice touch and the house was very clean with zero problems. Would book it again. It's not located in the greatest neighborhood and we didn't know that before booking but I had zero problems with anything. The house is gated and we felt safe.
The owners were always quick to respond to and questions we had and were helpful in anything we asked about.
The property itself is in a nice peaceful neighbourhood with some lovely properties surrounding it.
Backing on to the lake with the fire pit to sit around in the evening is just beautiful.
We loved our stay just wish we had it longer but as regular visitors to orlando we will 100% be back in the future.
Thank you for having us.
Across the board - absolutely outstanding "escape" for the whole family (or group outing). Something for everyone, no matter their age.
Harley gives a great overview. Owner Belinda added a special and much …
What a fantastic place. This is the best vacation place for family and friends. Everything was great from check in with Harley to the sad goodbyes.
Excelente todo !
The house is really close to camping world Stadium, it was absolutely perfect for us! I don’t know how suitable it would be for young kids, but we had a great time. I love it coming back to the house and relaxing by the pool with the view of the lake.
We had 13 people and had plenty of room for everyone. The house was gated in and we felt separated from the neighborhood. Once you're here it really does feel like an oasis
Great stay for one of our managers. He loved the place and had a great time while here in Tampa. Thank you!
We celebrated my girlfriend's 50th birthday. We had a great time. There were so many things to do and there was something for everyone. It was relaxing and exhilarating all at once!!! I would love to come back!
I wish I could give this house 10 stars!! it was as incredible in real life as it appeared in the pictures online! We had ages ranging from 8 to 77 and they all had a blast. There is some thing for everyone. If being together with your family and spending quality time together is important to you, this house is perfect for you. Also, they were very responsive when we needed anything, and that was much appreciated!
Family loved it
The house near the lake is very good and quiet 、Austin and Ghita yeah really nice ! Had a great time staying here for my Orlando trip
I loved it here !! It was so beautiful! And the boat was amazing . The house was super clean and gorgeous!!
We had our wedding here and it was the perfect venue! Plenty of space and activities for everybody of all ages to enjoy. I highly recommend The Great Escape Lakeside for any event or vacation you are planning.
Best place to spend quality time with family and friends. Kids and teenagers hardly were on their electronic devices!!! It was the perfect!!!
We throughly enjoyed all the period themed rooms and extra care to decor and snippets of historical facts. All beds seemed to be very comfortable. The back lawn, vegetation and views of the lake are so amazing! The place was very clean when we arrived, and hosts were super responsive and friendly. The hot tub and outdoor area is very nice. It’s near a very busy road, but this is actually convenient when scooting out for excursions or running out for “supplies”. We had Thanksgiving and had plenty of cooking supplies with their well/stocked kitchen.
It’s was a nice place only stayed for a day … few things could be better if I was staying more days but for one night it was good
Beautiful home and was a great place to stay. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet relaxing time!
Words cannot describe the fun that we had! We celebrated my triplets 16th bday with 30 of their friends. We stayed for 4 days. The kids never got bored and barely slept! We are already planning another stay!
Literally the best vacation I’ve ever been on! A game broke down and they brought a new one that same day!! Also very nice. My bf proposed!!
Amazing
A really nice quiet set up! It was a bit warm but to be expected in Florida. The lake view was beautiful and the house was cozy
Great stay in for family and friends. Great welcoming. With great price. Really close to nice attractions.
This was a great birthday present for our about-to-turn 10 year old. There were so many activities and games to keep us all occupied. And Alyssa was very responsive, and took good care of all of our issues.
Came here for my 50th birthday...was way beyond our expectations!! They thought of everything when creating this house. Had a BLAST!!!
We had a small wedding with the family at the Historic Lake Front state, and everything was beyond my dream!
The house accommodated everyone comfortably, and the historic vibes made the most beautiful pictures I could ever wish for! The centenary tree in the backyard was the perfect place for my ceremony! I will never forget this incredible time.
We had a chance to keep the family together at the game room, around the fire doing marshmallows. The kids enjoyed the jacuzzi even though was freezing outside! I have nothing to complain, only say Thank you for this time at the house!
This was surprisingly well tucked away from the city. It was peaceful, beautiful, and relaxing. House was well stocked, clean, and well kept. Hot tub and pool were clean and felt wonderful. Seth and Kylee were there when we needed them, but otherwise gave us privacy. I enjoyed watching their water dog occasionally swimming in the lake. Their dogs were very well behaved, and got along with our small dog very well. Highly recommend.
Austin was a great host! He provided everything we needed. It was a beautiful place! Highly reccommended.
This house is AMAZING! Our family had such a great time. The owner Andrew and property manager Alyssa, are so easy to work with. They made our experience so wonderful! Can't wait to visit the next property!
This property offers an exceptional family vacation experience, featuring engaging activities in every room and life-size games throughout the grounds. The property provides clever, entertaining games suitable for all ages, ensuring enjoyment for both adults and children. The pool area is particularly noteworthy, boasting a large slide and a lazy river. Overall, the residence offers a comprehensive and enjoyable experience.
Orlando Epic Rentals were stellar host! They communicated virtually immediately whenever I had a question or concern. They were always professional and polite. The property was just as advertised. It gave my daughter and my new son-in-love everything they wanted for their special day. From the amazing vintage vibe and country style setting to all of the attention to detail in every corner of the estate. We were completely fascinated with the overall history of the property. The estate was clean and very well maintained. I would definitely book again, perhaps for their one year anniversary!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spacious house with beautiful views of the lake. Enough room for everyone and comfy beds/couches. Would deff stay again!
Great spot, nice neighborhood, convenient location, beautiful view,
and all the comforts of home.
So fun!! We stayed here with a group of 22 (three generations) and all had a blast! So many fun on-site games and activities. I think the in-house theater and the arcade games were the biggest hits.
This place is so fun! Plenty to keep entertained. The pool was the best pool I’ve ever been in and they made check out super easy.
We rented Lake Lucy Estate for our wedding weekend and rehearsal dinner and we were EXTREMELY satisfied with our stay. The home is absolutely beautiful and made the rehearsal dinner absolutely everything we have dreamed and more. The house is like a never ending maze- rooms just kept popping out of nowhere, each one cooler than the next. The place was absolutely spotless and property managers were super attentive and answered any questions we had promptly. I highly recommend booking this property for any event or even just a weekend stay, it's truly Orlando's best hidden gem. Thank you to the property management team!
Great accommodations. Our group was very comfortable in the rental home. The area around is typical of big city living. It felt safe and comfortable to drive around. We loved the flexibility of spreading out in a house versus separate hotel rooms. The view was amazing and perfect distance to Universal. We were able to navigate around easily and perfect amount of parking. The grounds were nice and the deck and hot tub were great.
Big, nice, clean house. Communication with Austin was very good. Wish we could have stayed longer!
This was so much more than we expected!! Alyssan was awesome, beyond awesome!!!! Thank you for a great 50th anniversay!!! What a wonderful time!! We loved all the games!! The pool was beautiful!! 😍 …
We had a fantastic time. The attention to detail in each room is phenomenal. Can’t wait to get a group together and do it again!!
The home was large and accommodated our group well. It was located right off Silver Star Road so you could hear some traffic going by. I felt more comfortable with the gate.
The kitchen was newly renovated and had an open airy feel and there was ample room to spread out. We booked it for a gathering of teens and family during the holiday. Having a separate area (game room) was convenient for the older kids.
We catered our event so it made clean up easy and no real mess! The sprawling yard was great for a game of soccer and the property has a chain link fence to separate the lake (from unwanted critters). The pool was a little cold but the kids swam in it nonetheless. The hot tub worked fine and we were able to use it. I suggest bringing a citronella candle to prevent mosquitos. We loved being able to bring our mini Aussie too!
The host was very accommodating and the place was very peaceful and quiet place to stay near the lake
It was beautiful
Absolutely wonderful stay! The home is spacious and very clean. It comes with all the necessary amenities that you will need and having private access to the pool/hot tub is a great addition. The location is perfect for families looking to attend Universal Studios or any of the other amusement parks in that same area. The hosts treated us kindly and were quick to respond to any messages that we sent. Would stay again for sure and definitely recommend to others.
Our family just spent three nights at Great Escape Lakeside and had an amazing time! We had ages 5 to adult and everyone had something to do! The kids swam in the heated pool for hours. The slide is so much fun! Kayaking was beautiful, even in January. And now our kids want us to build a human fooseball court in our backyard! We couldn’t recommend this place more!
Most fun house I’ve ever stayed at, super clean, tidy, and impressive. Perfect way to have some fun and bond with everyone there.
Our experience with this venue exceeded all expectations. The attention the host gave to our needs was exceptional, ensuring every detail was taken care of. The feedback from our event attendees has been overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the atmosphere and ambiance of the property.
We are truly grateful for how the company accommodated our needs on such short notice. Despite making our reservation late in the afternoon and contacting them with a pressing situation, they responded promptly and efficiently through email, text, and phone calls. Their dedication and grace in handling our requirements made our event a success.
The feedback we've received about the property, its layout, and amenities has been phenomenal. A five-star rating hardly seems sufficient to express our gratitude for everything this company has done for us. Thank you for your outstanding service!
Super Amazing Stay! Fun with lots of space for multiple people to have their privacy. Right on the lake and very chill.
Our family came to Orlando to visit my son, daughter-in-law and 2 mo. old granddaughter. Austin's house was the perfect place for us to relax, unwind and enjoy each other. The house was fully equipped. The pool area was very nice and Austin allowed us to have a photographer come so we could have family pictures made. Austin was always prompt in replying to my emails. I would definitely recommend Austin's place to anyone wanting a house to stay in Orlando.
This house is so fun! All the rooms are very detailed and unique. It’s so cool to walk around and see all the different themes everywhere you go. Amazing get away from the cold weather at home!
Great house for the weekend trip, the host are very attentive and friendly. They had no issues accommodating to us with anything
This property oozes the "Old Florida" vibe with the creature comforts of the 21st century. The sleeping arrangements are varied and flexible, to accommodate just about any type of group. The gourmet kitchen was well-stocked and with a little creativity, I was able to cook meals for 11 people for 4 days. There was even a blender for a special dessert. The property is 2 miles from a Publix grocery so anything we needed was just around the corner. The host supplied K-cups for the Keurig coffee maker, which was greatly appreciated. The group spent a good amount of time around the pool, and the outdoor kitchen, full bath, and outdoor seating area. made it a lovely place for us to visit with each other. I was extremely impressed with our host - he was polite, prompt, and professional with all communications. This visit was my first at a virbo and I'm looking forwad to many more.
It was a relaxing and captivating area. Very nice place to get away from the big city life to enjoy time with family.
Host was very communicative. Home was very clean with a ton of activities to keep you busy.
This place was so amazing we stayed at another place they own to and we are planning on going again the owners are super friendly everything is clean and upkept our whole family loved this trip
Best vacation ever. Pictures don’t do it justice. The owners are so accommodating no matter the request. Highly recommend! 10/10
A specular Home and venue. This gorgeous historic home has true Florida charm, sitting on the large Lake Lucy. The Owner and home coordinador helped to pull together the most picturesque Wedding of the century. They were both so helpful and always only a call/text away. Each room was carefully decorated, and the beds were super comfortable! The outdoor area was peacefully scenic with the pool contrasting the lush greenery, yet had a full outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and covered patio that added functionality as well. Inside the chef’s kitchen was made for large groups, the tremendous island allowed for everyone to help.The separate theater room with a full bar, projector, and full bathroom allowed for the electronic entertainment on one side and in the main living area the family gathered for conversation. Overall, I would highly recommend this property as a home away from home or an event venue that will exceed all expectations.
This house blew my expectations out of the water. Great host and a piece of paradise once you got through the gates
Great and lovely place. Enjoyed staying here. Everything was as expected and had no issues.
Celebrated my friend's 25th wedding anniversary w/friends. Had a Wonderful time. All rooms, except the dungeon room had their own bathrooms. We all had our own rooms. I stayed in the Operations room. Beds were comfortable. The house was well stocked w/everything that we needed (washer/dryers, kitchen supplies, bedding, bathroom supplies, & of course plenty of games).
This place was absolutely amazing. We were here for a Teacher conference on gamification and it did not disappoint. We worked and hand fun, we had fun and we worked. Sometimes we couldn’t tell which we were doing. The rooms are awesome- you actually feel like you’re apart of the game system. Young or old you will completely be engulfed in the action at every area in the house and outside of the house… we hope to come back again.
My amazing husband and I and our two fur babies, stayed two nights at this beautiful place due to having to evacuate from hurricane Idalia. This was such a great place for being an unplanned trip! The Speak Easy is an open room with two very comfy beds that pull down from the walls, an adorable kitchen, bathroom, and there is also your very own movie screen theater in the room! You have access to all of the amenities that the main house has! The beautiful pool, Hot tub, kayak, and paddle board right on the lake! The views are beautiful! We loved laying in the hot tub and swimming with that view! Not to mention you are surrounded by tropical trees and on a huge property! It felt like a little private oasis!! We also had the property to ourselves since no one booked the main house! This place is definitely a must experience and is in such a great location! We would love to come back and highly recommend Speak Easy! Thanks for having us!
Great property with a lot of amenities. Boat ramp is very close to the property. Definitely recommend staying here.
Clean place and very comfortable. Well equipped and recommended for groups of three people.
We had so much fun!! Andrew was so helpful and very quick to respond to any questions or help we needed. Would definitely recommend! Already planning our next trip to one of his other houses!
So awesome! Such a cool and fun place and they take such good care of you! The house is amazing and you never get bored here!
Words cannot even begin to describe what an INCREDIBLE AirBnB this was! I have stayed at many different hotels and AirBnB’s and this has to be the absolute best one ever. My boyfriend and I rented out the Speakeasy for his birthday and because the main house was not rented out we had the pleasure of getting to enjoy the huge and beautiful 3 acre property all to ourselves. From the incrediblly huge and private backyard with the most beautiful and serene views of the lake, in addition to the hottub and the pool, the kayaks and the paddle board and the mini golf and everything else that was here, it felt like we were living like royalty having the entire property to ourselves. I could not recommend this AirBnB more and most definitely cannot wait to come back and book again soon. If I could give this place 100/10 stars I would. Don’t think twice about booking - the hosts were extremely communicative, kind and helpful, and this property truly is one of a kind. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
This is a wonderful getaway home with beautiful views and spacious layout. Our family and I had an amazing time and we knew what to expect because the listing is honest about the condition of the house and reviews mention the community that it’s in. You come here for the view and the space, not an elegant 5* star stay. If it doesn’t take much to make you happy and you enjoy just being close to the water and nature, this is the house for you!
Definitely a great stay, and everything was a good driving distance. Highly recommended!
We stayed at Great Escape Lakeside with family and had a blast! There was something for everyone. Not one person was bored
the entire time we were there. We will definitely be staying again!
Amazing house and the games were awesome my family had fun in the pool we will definitely recommend this house to my friends
We booked the Lake Lucy estate venue for a gathering of friends for a "Friendsgiving" celebration. It was a wonderful venue to allow us all to gather and celebrate the time together. The house had a wonderful pool and hot tub and the green lawn accommodated fun games in the afternoon - soccer, bocce ball and other games.
The property is fenced from the lake - which prevents critters from being unwanted guests.
The kitchen was modern and accommodated our needs for the dinner celebrations we held.
To make life easier we catered both dinners and desserts but being able to package up and store leftovers was great. For anything we forgot we used Uber and had it delivered easily.
I would suggest bringing your own citronella candle outside to ward off mosquitos (since you're by the lake) - and bug spray but otherwise it is a great facility for a gathering and fun memories to be made! The house was very charming.
Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate a big group. Wifi was great and the house had a few board games and a game room so that was fun too!
Great stay with beautiful view of lake and pool from house. The kitchen area was spacious to cook and feed guests
Austin is a great host, friendly to talk to and very quick to respond to my questions!
Great Escape Lakeside is everything it looks like and more. I googled “fun Airbnb’s in Florida,” to host our 13 year old son’s birthday weekend, also inviting six of his closest friends. …
Amazing time!! Staff is incredibly helpful and the accommodations are like nothing I’ve ever seen! Can’t wait to come back
I hosted some of my cousins for a family gathering, 9 stayed the week and 5 other local cousins visited during the day. I couldn't imagine more accommodating hosts, they allowed us a 30-minute early check in which was extremely appreciated since I'd just walked out of Publix with 8, 1/2 gallon containers of Haagen Dazs! (THANK YOU, THANK YOU)
There was the perfect space for everyone to sleep; my 30-something male cousins thought the SpeakEasy was "da bomb", my cousin who appreciated her privacy loved the ensuite 40s room, and my other cousin who had trouble walking stairs took advantage of the Bridal room, swam in the saltwater pool each morning and used the shower in the poolhouse to freshen up for the day. I ensconced myself in the 30s room and read every piece of history available. The entire house oozes "Old Florida". It doesn't take much to imagine what it felt like to live in that house when it was new; the only giveaway to the 21st century was the central A/C, which I couldn't imagine living without.
The kitchen was immense and had everything I needed, including a blender for the Romanoff sauce for the strawberries. The Keurig was supplied with plenty of coffee and tea for everyone, and the big farmhouse sink with a spray faucet made clean up a breeze. I reveled in my private time each morning in the French patio, watching the fountain and the lizards scurry around.
I was in contact with our host a few (hopefully not too many!) times before and during our stay. Each time, I received a prompt, pleasant, professional reply. Every effort was made to address any question or concern; you can't ask for more from them. If I ever have another need for a family gathering in Orlando, Lake Lucy will top the list. If I ever have another need for a gathering anywhere, I'm going to check with Epic Vacation Rentals FIRST!
I felt so comfortable in this place. It’s like my own house. If I ever come again to Florida, I will stay there.
Excelente lugar para pasar un buen momento , volvería sin dudas a esta gran estadía .
Fantastic family fun. Incredibly attentive host throughout our stay, willing to do anything to make our stay easy and enjoyable. Tons to do, fun for kids and adults alike. We will be back.
This place was absolutely insane. We had sooooooo much fun and could have stayed a couple more days without getting bored.
Great place for our Self Quarantine! We enjoyed the lakefront view and some fun in the sun. Wonderful hosts. Thx
Great house & location. Loved the view & hospitality, definitely would recommend.
Great place for a group! No reason to leave once you are there! Human Foosball, Playing game shows and the pool were all favorites. You could always find someone at the word search wall.
Had a great time. Tons of detail spent in design. Staff was great on response time for any questions we had while here.
Such A Perfect Location & A Beautiful House ! Definitely Will Be Booking Again . He’s Very Nice & Replies Fast !
Austin’s place is amazing. The pool and hot tub were great for our little group.
Just had my brother’s barmitzvah and celebrated here for the weekend. The place is more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Also, Skylar(the dog) is so cute going down the slide!
My Family and friends had such a great time here. Lots to do for kids and adults. Best place for a vacation 10/10!!!!
It's a gated compound in the hood. I mean that in the best way possible. This place is what Airbnb was made for
It had everything we wanted, and it was clean, comfortable, and by everything.
Just stayed for my friends Bar Mitzvah.. it was absolutely amazing! There were activities for everybody & enough space for each person to do their own thing. I would love to come back.
I thoroughly enjoyed our 7 days in this play house! We couldn’t even fathom the idea of being bored. During the covid19, we wanted a place that would entertain without leaving. It was a great place to celebrate just having friends & fun! We definitely look forward to checking out the other properties! If you’re thinking about it..... Just book it! Memories were made! The kids will never forget this wonderful experience in such a crazy time!
This is the perfect lake house for a large group. My ideal vacation is anywhere my friends can all stay to eat, relax, and just be together. This house was great: secluded, private, and many large gathering areas with plenty of seating. The kitchen is well stocked and the bedrooms are spacious. There are so many comfortable sleeping arrangement options!
Jason was such a great host. Great response time, helpful, and gave very clear instructions.
Everyone loved the jacuzzi and the pool. And the view of the lake was amazing
We had a wonderful time at the Great Escape! The property is very unique and the kids were entertained at all times. Andrew was extremely helpful with questions and recommendations.
Awesome place. Very detailed in all rooms. Most awesmazing place to visit. So many different types of games to play.
The home was beautiful with a great sunset and sunrise view. We really enjoyed ourselves. I would stay again.
House is clean, location amazing and definitely enjoyed the pool & jacuzzi.
GREAT PLACE to vacation the videos does the house no justice. Kids has a ball and was entertained the Whole Weekend ... This Def a must do. Would Love to plan a vacation again here .
Had an amazing time! Had our 25th wedding anniversary vow renewal dream wedding and the house was perfect for it!
Perfect location for visiting Universal Studios. Was just right for two families with kids. Amazing sunset!
The host did not allow for a later check out, which was a bit of a hassle.
This house was a huge hit. We recently had our wedding here and stayed for 3 nights. The views of the lake were amazing and so great for photos, plenty of room for our event and slept several of our guests. Everyone young and old enjoyed it! The owners and staff are very responsive to any requests and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for such a memorable wedding!
We had the best time ever at the house. Memories were made between cousins, friends, and family that will last a lifetime. We spent 4 nights and 5 days trying to do everything the house offered and never came close to playing everything. We never had to leave the house and were entertained more than any of us ever thought. A huge thank you for the owners of The Great Escape Parkside for giving us this opportunity that will never be forgotten .
Owner was very understanding and communicative. Very beautiful house and had plenty room, we loved our stay
Great hosts! The few minor issues that we had were immediately addressed!
Wow! We celebrated my dad's 80th birthday at lakeside! We had a blast. It was the best time! Now we are going to make it a yearly tradition! We are going to try different houses
This house was amazing! We rented it to celebrate our two son’ birthdays with all of their friends, and it did not disappoint!! It was very clean. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and right on top of anything that we needed. There was so much to do for both kids and adults. There was not one second of boredom, and we were all sad to have to leave. We are already thinking about the next time we’ll be able to go back for another visit.
Beautiful house, Well maintained, the lake is wonderful, the pool and spa is a plus, hardly recommend!
Outstanding home and location and the amenities and host were great
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! Can’t wait to come back! Our whole family loved all the games & it fit perfect for all of us!! I especially loved the paddle boats & hot tub.
Had a blast with my family here! So much to do, and the details are amazing! Can't wait to try them all
Great and fun spot to be for the week! Lots of amenities at the house and great lake front and dock!
Great location close to I4 hottub was very nice had a lot of fun!
What a great place to escape to with your family and friends. Very comfortable accomodations. So much thought went into this place. So much fun, we will most certainly be back.
This was an excellent place to have our family retreat. The attention
to detail was amazing. We spent
Hours in the lazy river. Every single room had something exciting to offer. Having the ability to play music in every part of the house and outside was nice. The only thing that would have made this stay a little better is a giant couch in the common area. There are plenty of places to sit inside and out but only a couple small couches. Would stay again.
It’s great house if you want to lose all the stress this’s perfect great hospitality and very clean
Austin was great! Amazing house. Will be back. Thanks Austin!!!
Awesome experience. There is plenty of fun for everyone! Staff was also extremely polite and very helpful! Will be coming again as soon as we can make our calendars coincide !
Such a fun place :) recommend 10/10!!! Kids never Wanted to leave and I could have stayed longer too!
Beautiful view of the lake, and plenty of room to bring the whole family. Don't miss the sunsets!!
Plenty of room. The view was amazing, we had a great time.
This place was AMAZING!
We spent three days with 26 of our closest friends and family to celebrate a 50th birthday party. It was perfect. Just what we wanted. A central place where everyone could relax, have fun, talk, hang out and have a great time all at the same time!
Definitely recommend and will probably do again!
The lazy river, human foosball and karaoke were group favorites
This house is amazing. So much to do that you can't do it all in one trip! We must come back again.
Everything was as described! Beautiful location. Great get away for a few days with your friends.
Austin was an amazing host. Couldn’t have asked for better
We had such a great time here!! The attention to detail was by far the most amazing thing. The kids loved the pool and the spin top chair! Looking forward to our next trip!
We are here now and definitely will be coming back and plan on visiting some of the other locations.
The place was beautiful the pool and hot tub just needed to be clean besides that it was perfect
La casa se encuentra en buen estado y buena ubicación.
Absolutely fantastic time here. No need to leave the property (unless you need food and/or drinks). There is so much to do, and so much fun to be had. Never a dull moment, and constantly something else to do with your family and friends. You won’t run out of things to do, I can almost guarantee that. The Easter eggs will keep you looking, the word search will keep you well, searching. 10/10
We absolutely loved this place. It was a blast! Plenty to do and amazing details everywhere you go.
We had a great time here. Love the place. Will surely come back again.
Austin was a great host.
Good place to sleep and cook. Lots of places to sit.
This venue is so much fun for the whole family (which ranges in age from 4-74 years old) . With each day that we spend here, the more we all want to return next year!
Had a great time! Played lots of games throughout the house. Clue escape room was a good challenge.
the place was very convenient to downtown, less than 10 min and the view of the lake was great!
Notre séjour était merveilleux
La maison est super !
We had an amazing time. We played with everything and got $400 total credit for our next visit by playing and completing certain games throughout the house. The owner is excellent at making sure you feel right at home. The artwork and detail that go into even the bathrooms will amaze you at times. If your on the fence about this vacation home dont think too much. No one will leave disappointed
This place is unbelievable!!! So many things to do. Clean and beautiful. Fun for the whole family.
Airbnb was dope. Really enjoyed ourselves. Location right on the lake and 10min from downtown.
Austin's place is awesome and at a great location.
We had 12 adults and 12 kids and this house was the perfect size. The property was large, but not too big. If you want some alone time, there are many places to hide out. The property managers were very prompt to respond to any issues. Everyone had a great time and will be back in the future. I actually felt like I got a vacation, instead of running around stressed out. So happy we could do this.
Had a blast definitely a fun house you could never be bored staying here there’s so much to do!!
Easy stay. Appreciate the host quickly approving our last minute travel plans. Thanks again!
Putt putt, pool, jacuzzi, fishing all in one spot!
The Great Escape Lakeside was everything you need in a vacation home! It’s clean, well maintained and offers plenty of activities for all! I would def recommend!
Loved the stay at the great escape Parkside last week!!! Can’t wait to visit the other homes ❤️
Seth was great! And this house is awesome, very secluded and beautiful views! Thank you!
Great space, very clean and open. Felt at home 🤙🏼
Great place to stay with a group. So many great things to do for both adults and kids. No one had a chance ton complain of boredom. Great, unique experience.
Phenomenal place! The kids had so much fun, and the pool was AWESOME. 10/10 memories were made.
Everything that’s on it is accurate. I’ll DEFINITELY COMEBACK. Amazing View Of The Lake.
Can't say enough good things! the deck was beautiful, the neighborhood was very safe, lake view was awesome, the airport was only 15 min away, and it was 10 minutes to downtown.
Some of the other things that i liked was the attention to detail on all the furnishings. you can tell when people just piece mail a unit or when they put effort in and this place definitely shows some effort.
ghita and austin were also both very friendly and answered all my questions right away. definitely worth the 5 stars!!!
This is the first time I've ever been to Florida and did not have the desire to go to the beach!! This house has EVERYTHING🥳🥳 Best house EVER - Beach Barbie …
Our family has enjoyed more than one Great Escape location, and we keep coming back because they are the best trips ever! It is the perfect way to vacation with families - especially with little ones! We have a 3 & 6 year old and there is never a dull moment! From countless games to play, to a personal movie theater, and no one could miss out on the amazing personal pool with a lazy river and slide! We simply LOVE vacationing at all of the Great Escapes locations.
Great house! Plenty of beds and showers! Would definitely recommend for any large group!
Wonderful place! Perfect for the family get away.
I have been in 3 of the homes in this property and I'm always surprised to find something new. Great location for family reunions, weddings, anniversaries etc
Where do I begin??? This place is Amazing and Beyond expectation!!! All I will say is WOW!!!
Nice and peaceful property, would definitely stay here anytime I’m in the Orlando area.
We had a nice stay, and Paul was very attentive!
Our party of 12 kids and 12 adults had a fantastic time on our Mardi Gras getaway. Human foosball was so much fun. A vacation that all of us will remember!
So this house needs it's own TV show! Every room has a different theme (laser tag, Mrs. Pacman and Clue just to name a few) and each one is as fun as the next. The attention to detail used in everything from the paint schemes, to detailed instructions, to extra batteries everywhere you look, made this a definite spot to return to as well as one of my favorite trips in a long time. Hint: take a look at the pool from the patio on the second floor. Kudos to the owners!
Great hospitality!! Hosts were amazing and renting the boat on the lake was so much fun
Had a great stay, would definitely book again!
Such a cute place!! I loved it had so much fun in the pool and in the giant inflatable ball! Went for a wedding and I now want to find any excuse to rent it!
Really fun and exciting place! So many games and fun things to do! Can’t wait to go again
It is a great place to be in. The location, the view, the hot tub everything is amazing
The house was prefect for us enjoyed it a lot
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!!! 10/10 I recommend! The way all the rooms are decorated is GENIUS!!! Such a fun experience!!! I’m already planning a trip back!!!
Place was so amazing! Better than I imagined. Can’t wait to return again for more fun!!!!
Home is just as described! Comfortable with great amenities and convenient location.
Place was outstanding.
Def coming back again
It was amazing! so many things to do for the kids, and adults alike! look forward to come back again. I want I movie theater like that at my own house!
We had an 80s themed 40th birthday party for my husband and had the best, most relaxing and fun-filled weekend. It's the perfect house for whatever you feel like doing. Half of the group can chill at the pool/hot tub, while the other half plays games. Our karaoke night may have just been my favorite night! They have truly thought of EVERYTHING and our whole group was wowed. We found the hidden lotto ticket. We won another game and got 2 free pizzas delivered. So FUN!!!
Jason took care of all are needs and was super friendly in every encounter with him!
Cozy place. Hosts were great to work with.
We had an awesome time at this house, I only wish we could have stayed longer. 4 days is not enough time. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and the pool.
Fantastic place. We had a great time. What a fun house, thank you for the Great Escape!
I mean the pics looked nice. We didn’t actually get to go though. Good communication
Great location & communication from host.
This house is incredibly cool and so much fun. All of the art and detail put into the theming and design will blow you away. Wish I could stay longer.
You can tell a lot of thought was put into making this place reach its full potential!
Definitely a hidden gem!! A must if you are looking for tranquility and seclusion.
Great all the way around! Wonderful stay!
The house is so pretty! I love the lazy river and the life size bowling. The hammocks are a great touch by the fireplace and the upstairs is so cool!
Very very nice place to stay enjoyed it it was beautifully decorated m. Had a blast
Great home and great area! Beautiful view and lots of space for family or friends.
great place,and awesome view from there
To all our great listeners of The Bourbon Speculators we would recommend staying here. A great opportunity for sampling bourbon and enjoying cigars.
Exceeded my expectations... granted we just went through a storm, but the owners were great with their communication throughout the night and ensuring we were safe and were promptly up the next morning getting the premises back in order for our family. Very kind and supportive the entire time. The house was stocked with everything dishes, towels, laundry soap, etc. Karaoke was a family favorite as well as finding the clues to win prizes throughout the house. Best time ever!!
Great location and well managed place! Gorgeous scenery with plenty to do nearby.
Space was great - exactly as described!
This place is so nice! However the lazy river motor and ladder are so tight together so you always get stuck and the Hot tub heater was broken
The Great Escape Parkside is a wonderful location to host family parties!!! The house is full of a TON of games and activities to keep the kids and guest occupied for Months!!! Outside they have a beautiful pool, equipped with waterslidesand Jacuzzi. The area is remote and your party will not be interrupted. So play your music, dance, eat, live, explore, play basketball, watch a movie, play ping pong, etc... You will defiantly not want to escape from this amazing destination!!
This was the most beautiful and comfortable place, right on the lake shore and with a screened in back patio with a hot tub and a pool, plenty of sleeping space inside and a beautiful interior. The gated driveway made everything seem very secure, and the goldfish ponds and guest house are such a enchanting bonus to the property. The owners were extremely responsive and motivated to address any questions and keep us comfortable. Very highly recommend you consider staying here!
Amazing house!! High recommendations!!!
Had a great week with extended family, kids loved the pool and all the games. They're already wanting to know if we can come back next year.
fun and interesting - lots to do! Clean and well kept grounds and facilities.
Amazing place loved the pool seth was super helpful with everything we needed !
Very kind people, appreciate the stay!
The estate was amazing.. There is so many hidden games and fun never a dull moment.. The pool was second to none. We will definitely be back
Amazing house and staff were so helpful. Would highly recommend it to anyone.
The hosts were very polite and kindly helped with all questions, recommended
Amazing location and great amenities.
Wonderful place with an amazing backyard scene as well as tons of activities inside to keep family and friends occupied. Will visit again.
Fun place to be! So many things to do so much fun can’t wait to do it again!!
This space is so great for large groups and the lake is absolutely stunning!
Great spot for gathering of friends.
There was about 30 of us adults, kids, teenagers… this house was fun for everyone! Love that all the bedrooms have their own bathroom. The kitchen was big and had plenty of refrigerator space. Everyone enjoyed the movie room, lazy river, endless games and the lake! Truly fun for everyone. Andrew and his gang are a pleasure to work with, last year we did the candy land house! Next year hopefully we get to visit parkside!
Great place to unwind. Very responsive owners. They cater to your every need.
Amazing hidden gem will be returning with my family again I recommend 1000%
Great stay. Private peaceful place!
Lots of fun! There are SO many different things to do, there really is something for everyone. Plus the pool and waterslide are great :)
We visited here in December! Everyone from kids to adults had a great time!
Beautiful property. Great Host. Highly recommended. Very good security.
Nice place , good house near parks
This house was great for our family vacation. So many things to do in the house and outside - kept everyone going from morning to night!
The perfect spot for a family vacation! Will definitely be booking again!
Beautiful setting. Yes area coming in looks rough, but felt very safe.
Its a good house and amazing pool
This place is amazing relaxing enjoying family time playing games. Definately would recommend to others great place for kids to enjoy!!!
Amazing place to stay! By far the most creative and thoughtful design of any home you can rent. We were only a group of 5 which allowed us to take full advantage of everything the home has to offer. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone! With two young children it was also nice not having to leave and go to various attractions, this is thE attraction! Thank you to Andrew, Alyssa and the whole team. They are all top notch and I promise anyone reading this you will have the time of your life!
Great value & communication. Definitely recommend for larger groups.
Nice place to stay I recommend
Great house, so much fun. Wish we stayed longer! We got married right in front of the stunning lake view. Would definitely recommend!!
Lots of fun!! Amazing details. Kids loved the pool and the Xbox room.
A large pool with a deep end, clean hot tub, great view, safe area.
Very nice felt just like home.
Moments with my kids and Family!! This place is Epic and the slide is insane. Will be back next year. Great host, thank you Andrew.
This was the perfect place for our family reunion. We will be back!
We had a wonderful stay! Beautiful location with beautiful sunsets!
Nice house great host
Really fun place to spend time with Family and Friends!! You’ll find a game in every single corner literally, even the restroom 😅😂 …
This was my second time staying at The Great Escape Parkside. The house is a blast for our entire group- multiple families with ages from toddlers to grandparents and everywhere in between. It is evident the owners have put a lot of time and effort into all the game options and home decor. There is always something to do. My child is happy to spend all day in the pool going down the side or floating around the lazy river. I love the air hockey table and movie theater. I can't wait to return!
Everything As promised. Very good communication and quick solving.
Amazing hosts and beautiful scenery. A great place to relax and reconnect. My only mention would be to read the entire description when booking. Since it is two separate units certain areas are shared and off limits to upstairs guests. I usually go by photos and reviews skimming the description so it seemed a little misleading. (Since my family prefers private housing when using vacation rentals).
Aside from that that We would definitely stay at another property with ORLANDO EPIC RENTALS.
They even supplied the wood for the fire pit.
We held 6 seniors for their graduation combo grad bash and bday had a wonderful time and the owners are wonderful people great fun
Excellent place for the entire family we went to the game house
Very good ! Everything is perfect in this house ! I recommend it !
Great place to stay
Pool was soooo cool! Our kids wouldn't get out of the pool. Clean, big, fun house inside and out. Loved it! We will def be back.
An amazing experience!! Once in a lifetime! Loved it all!!
We had a wonderful time. If you love sunsets this place is for you
Very hospitable
Had a great time with my beautiful family definitely lots to do every day and enjoy all the games and the amenities every day
Loved the pool and the theatre! Enough room for everyone.
wonderful experience from start to finish. the hosts were very responsive and helpful. you feel like you have your own oasis at the end of a private road (although note the sign does say "dead end" and the surrounding houses closer to the main road do need a little TLC). We loved using the hot tub and pool during our stay as well. There is some superficial work that could be done but for the location, value, friendliness, and amenities you can't beat this property! Would easily stay again.
We had a blast!
We chose to host a family get together at this house. There was plenty of activities and the hosts were very responsive!
Amazing can’t begin to describe this place! My family created lifetime memories in four days. The theme in each room and attention to detail was the key. Our favorites were the Jumanji Theatre, the midway carnival and the lazy river. We barely slept because there was so much to do. We ranged from ages 3 to 81 and there was something for everyone! The staff (especially Harley) was accommodating and I would return in a heartbeat. Thank you Great Escape Parkside for the memorable family bonding time!
This is a fantastic airbnb location. Wonderful, secluded property.
Great place!!!
Awesome place! So many family activities you can do here, your little ones should never get bored. Will be coming back!
Great place for a family vacation. Will be coming back!
Great location close to downtown and all Orlando has to offer.
Awesome stay
This was an amazing place to have a family reunion... so much fun for kids and adults! Would go back in a heartbeat!
The pool and lazy river are fantastic, worth the stay.
Beautiful place in a great location and very responsive host.
10 outta 10
AHHHH-MAZING!!!!!!! No other word can express how much our family and friends LOVE this place.
Where do I begin... …
If you’re thinking about doing this, YOU SHOULD! The house is incredible but what really made our stay unforgettable was the team that runs this house. If we needed anything, they had it delivered to us. I couldn’t figure out the music surround sound and Alyssa showed up to teach me, whack a mole wasn’t working properly and Gary was there to get it fixed. Etc. Every interaction with their team was amazing and truly added to our stay. Thank you so much for creating this play land and running it so perfectly!
Amazing time , very private once on property beautiful views
Clean!
We had an awesome time. All the kids had a blast and so did we adults. We are already planning our next stay. …
Wow what a fun time my uncle had a wedding there and with plenty of family there it made for a perfect setting. There is like 100 games or things to do here if you have kids or if you like to have fun and play games take a trip down here pool was amazing games were fun I loved it. Just make sure you bring a ton of people with you so all the activities are enjoyed. It is pricey I've heard but if you bring enough people to fill the rooms and help pitch in for a couple days you got yourself some good memories 👍
Gorgeous lake view! Great place for a large group of people!
Nice!
Had a great time. House was great, games were great, people operating the house were great. Would come again
GREAT GETAWAY TO ENJOY WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS
Amazing place and fantastic hosts! A hidden gem in Orlando!
..
Absolutely incredible!! One of the most amazing experiences ever!! Loved the theater room and the lazy river!
Awesome home with fun for the whole family!
Easy to find, clean place, beautiful location on the lake!
👍🏾
Here for a family bar mitzvah. Unbelievable place. Family owned and impeccable. Do not hesitate, book it now
We had a family group of 50+ people from ages of 18 months to 90 years old. We stayed for a week and everyone was totally entertained the entire stay. There is just so much to do. Of course, my favorite was the lazy river around the pool. Many hours of relaxing were accomplished. I would say that our family used just about everything the house offered. The house is well stocked with everything you need. The owners are the best and immediately took care of any issues that came up. We are talking about doing it again!
It was super nice, everything was alright, thank so much!
The place was exactly as described and Austin was a great host. We didn't need to meet him in person, as we had no issues whatsoever, but he responded quickly to our messages which made the check in and check out process a breeze. The place was perfectly clean, modern and comfortable. Neighborhood was safe and private while still being a quick drive to any part of the city. Even though the weather didn't hold out for us to use the pool, we really enjoyed the hot tub Austin allows his guests to use. Whenever I come into Orlando again I'll look first for this place. Thank you!
Such a fun place to stay with family. Loved the challenges offered throughout the house and cool amenities.
I had the best time of my life!!!!!
We had a great time here and we can’t wait to come back!
This is a great place for medium to large groups to go enjoy the Orlando parks. The place is renovated for the most part with nice and comfortable furnishings. It is very well stocked with kitchen essentials, 2 coffee makers and all cabinets are labeled , it has a washer and dryer which came very handy after a rainy day at the parks. The location is great to go to the parks, just a 15 to 20 minute ride to both Disney and Universal Orlando resorts . It is located on a quiet neighborhood and has a lake on the back. The pool and hot tub are a nice addition to relax after the parks . It is close to grocery and convenient stores .
So much fun! We had great grandma down to the great grandkids, all had a blast and plenty of room for all.
Awesome place. So much to do here.
Couldn’t have been happier staying here! Beautiful home.
We had a perfect stay at Austin’s house. #jessamine dream. The house was just what we needed for our party of five adults, six year old and dog. The location was close and convenient, minutes from I-4. The kitchen was completely equipped with modern cooktop, oven refrigerator, coffee makers, filters, dishes, flatware, wine glasses, utensils, pots and pans, soaps, plenty of extra towels. The AC was plenty cool, and the pool and hot tub were wonderful. Several choices of pool floats. We brought so much that we didn’t need. We are not water sports people, but the lake was beautiful and quiet. No noisy boat traffic, just peacefulness.
MAAANNNN THIS PLACE WAS SO AWESOME! My family, friends, and I plan to make this an annual vacation spot!
Lots of fun. Never a dull moment.
Great location and very private. The family enjoyed it.
We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home! It comfortably fit our group of 13 with plenty of space to spread out, thanks to the 7 spacious bedrooms. The house was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.
The private pool and hot tub were a huge hit with everyone, especially in the evenings. One of the highlights was being able to fish right off the dock—such a peaceful and fun activity for both the kids and adults!
The kitchen and common areas were well-equipped and perfect for group meals and hanging out together. Overall, this home was the perfect setting for our family vacation, and we would definitely love to stay here again.
Had an amazing time at the house. Our favorite thing to do was the escape room. Definitely recommend.
Great trip will be booking again!
Great house, beautiful lake. Perfect isolation place
Austin and his property manger did a fantastic job hosting the property. The property is in a great location...even close enough for a quick Disney visit. The pool was very refreshing and the hot tub was nice to relax in at night. We rented both upstairs and downstairs for a group of 16. It was a little tight for 16, but accommodated us with our needs! it was a great week, and we enjoyed staying at Austin's property. Any issues that came up, Austin and his team were right there to help! We also rented the boat for a day and the lake was amazing! The kids had a blast tubing and skiing. The fire pit for inviting at night and the kids and adults enjoyed the outdoor games. Thanks for being a GREAT Host!
Great place for a family get together! Plenty of space, lots to do and the kids loved the pool!
I have stayed at Great Escape Lakeside and twice at Great Escape Parkside. This past weekend my entire family came for a Family Reunion. I can’t think of anyplace that could have been better. Youngest was 5 months and my Father was the oldest at 93. All of us were in the pool and had a weekend none of us at every age will forget. My 5 year old grand daughter cried when we left. You can’t replace memories made for a lifetime. Thank you so much Andrew for thinking of an incredible place for people of all ages to enjoy.
Great stay would definitely come back and recommend
AMAZING!!!! 5 stars all around. What a lovely home, well taken care of and so much to do. We did some fishing in the lake, had a fire in the fire pit, played put put, and of course went swimming a lot. We loved having the two kitchens so our group could keep everything separate with each family. We had a couple questions right when we got there but Ghita answered them super fast.
We went downtown for dinner one night and it was only about 10 min away. However, there were a lot of good restaurants right around the corner so that didnt matter too much. The teenagers stayed in the 4the bedroom downstairs that was disconnected from the house and it was perfect. We grilled on the patio one night and had a gorgeous view. Perfect vacation for sure!
This place is an amazingly fun place to hang out for a few days- never seen anything like it.
Awesome experience for everyone!
Great Place! Book if you want the summer get away!
The lake house was in a lovely location - close to lots of restaurants and shops, but in a very quiet neighborhood. The dock looks out upon beautiful Florida - palm trees and Spanish moss everywhere. It’s a lovely lovely spot to chill after a days work or play.
It’s nice that it’s a duplex so you can get some separation in your group if you need it. We were there for work on a video shoot with our crew, so the space really allowed for everyone to have ample privacy, and great getaways to take Zoom calls and work, but also a nice central spot downstairs to meet and have a drink at the end of the hard work day.
The hosts are a management company, and are very lovely and responsive. They worked to communicate well about our needs. Overall, I would stay here again and am glad we made the decision. :)
Such a fun place to stay - loved all the old school video games and the Pac Man themed room.
Great place with TONS to do!!!!
Great hosts, and a perfect place for our needs!
We booked this place last minute and it was perfect. First of all, the neighborhood is great. It's right off of orange ave and it feels very safe. The house is right on the canal of a big lake and the views are very nice. There are separate entrances for the upstairs and downstairs, but that was ok for us because we had 12 people so it worked out.
We used the grill upstairs and enjoyed dinner on the deck which was very nice. The kids loved swimming in the pool and the adults enjoyed the hot tub.
we had an issue w/ the fridge cooling and they immediately sent someone out to look at it. it turned out to be nothing major.
in general Austin and Ghita were extremely hospitable and so quick to answer our questions. We know homes are a lot of maintenance and we really appreciated how hard they worked to keep us happy.
I had an amazing time! I loved the giant games and awesome water slide. Highly recommended.
It’s a creative masterpiece!
This place is soooo great! Booking again soon!
We had a great time at Austin's place. This house has a perfect location in a nice, safe and quiet neighborhood at the center of Orlando. We went to my nephew baseball tournament "the won", in Lake Mary 30 minutes away and visited Disney, a 25 minutes drive. There are many places to dine in the area like my personal favorite, El Taino Bakery. The house was very clean with extra towels and pillows for the 10 of us. The A/C works great and the kitchen has plenty of everything. The teenagers loved the outside bedroom playing board games well into the night letting the old people like me sleep. With all the amenities like the jacuzzi, pool, boats, a big lake and back yard for the dog, this is by far the best option around. On top of all of this Austin is a great host, he will respond fast in a professional and friendly way. All this things together made our first Airbnb experience a wonderful one.
We spent eight days at the great escape Lakeside and it was one of the most enjoyable vacations I’ve ever been on. What a wonderful way to enjoy your family all in the same house together with endless activities to entertain yourselves with! The movie theater was a big plus and we used the kayaks and canoes almost every day. You will be hard-pressed to find the same quality of lodging that has this many bedrooms anywhere else for the same price. Highly recommended!
Great spot… bring bug spray
Amazing view and amenities. Had a great time.
Definitely worth a trip from Anywhere, USA. You could spend a week here and not get bored.
This place is amazing! We stayed for 4 days for a wedding and the entire wedding party was able to be housed. We did not even come close to being able to finishing all the games that are available! The pool area was unbelievable and that's where you found most of us! It was a once in a lifetime experience and I was so thankful to share it with the group I went with! The staff goes above and beyond to assist with your comfort and stay. I cannot recommend this place enough and I'm considering using this for functions in the future.
Great stay. Tons of room. Beautiful lake view
I loved it! I went here on a girl’s’ getaway, and we had the best time! This one had plenty of games and things to do both inside and outside, and we could have probably stayed a month and still not used everything!
You could take boats out on the water or go swimming in the pool, you can play any of the board games found in various places around the house, and you can even do an escape room!
Kids would love it here, but we were all adults and had an amazing time!
This place was absolutely amazing! We've been coming to Orlando for 5 years on a family vacation & this is by far THE BEST place we've been to! PLENTY of parking..which sounds silly but if you know these places in Orlando you know there's no parking. Stunning night skies bc you are secluded on 10 acres. Pool was amazing. Lazy river is not so lazy...it's fun & shoots you around the pool! Slide was scary looking but an absolute blast for everyone. Inside the rooms are nice & cool & all the games are fun to play. We will absolutely be back :)
Great place unique will definitely come back
GREAT time for our group!!! Having a heated pool on those cool days was a good option! …
We had an epic vacation at the Great Escape Parkside! Everyone loved the "pool" pool with waterslide, hot tub, lazy river, plenty of outdoor chair and table space, pool table, music, outdoor kitchen, and beautiful trees & sunshine. The rooms are very creative, and we had a great time with the escape rooms and laser room. The house had everything we needed ... towels, cribs, high-chair, dishes, lots of fridge space, laundry facilities. So much to do! We were well-entertained for the four days we stayed ... and no one was ever tempted to leave.
Awesome place, will definitely come back.
They had a lot of games to play with and plenty of rooms and the pool was awesome 👌 …
This house was AMAZING!!!! The details the owner put into each room, hallway, picture and decorative was like nothing I have ever seen. There is something for every age! We were a large group of over 20 people but it was never crowded and there was always someone playing some game. From a simple game of air hockey, settler of Catan, or ski ball to life size bowling, wack a mole and a pool with a lazy river this house has everything!! For you next party celebration or even just a weekend with friends... this house is the place to be! Blown away.
The best place to spent with your family!
FUN FUN FUN and nothing but FUN!!!!! Just stayed here 8/24- 8/27 hope to visit again
My husband and I chose the Great Escape Parkside for our joint bachelor/bachelorette celebration. We absolutely LOVED our stay and all of our friends and family had a great time! Unconventional for a bach trip, but truly perfect for us! Andrew and Belinda were super attentive to us all weekend and were sweet enough to congratulate us with a cake in celebration for not only our joint bach, but also my graduation from law school (which they remembered!). Thank you both for helping to make our bachelor/bachelorette trip everything we wanted it to be!
Great place to stay with many amenities!
We celebrated my brother's and his fiancee's bach party here. Everyone had a blast!
Amazing is the word we will use for the Great Escape Parkside!! Our family just finished our 3 day weekend here and no one wanted to leave. Our only regret is it wasn’t long enough. The attention to detail in each room is incredible!! There was something for everyone in our group. The family interaction and bonding is like no other. The house is packed with challenges from the speed lights to who can sing better! The clue escape room was spot on. We created once in a lifetime memories that will be talked about for year to come. We would definitely visit again , only longer!!!
Great host overall, nothing but positive
Loved every bit of it! Truly amazing and cannot wait to check out the other houses!
Family Reunion May 2024
I wanted to share a recent experience my family and I had at the Great Escape Parkside house. This was our first family reunion in many years, and I’m so happy we decided to have it there.
Any questions or concerns we had were addressed right away, and Alyssa was great! The house was everything we thought it would be and more. Our experience at the Great Escape Parkside house was awesome, and the whole family enjoyed their time.
We will definitely be doing this again!! If you're thinking about booking this place, don't hesitate any longer. Book it! You won't regret it!
Awesome place and great accommodations!
Great escape was very relaxing. This is our 2nd time using these properties and can’t wait to go back. Andrew and his team are very reliable, quick to respond if anything needed and Johnny on the spot if something need to be fixed. It’s almost like an all inclusive. Once your there, no need to leave. Can’t say enough nice words about these vacation homes. Few minor things that could be adjusted but nothing to keep me from returning.
It’s your loss if you don’t check it out.
Beautiful property, what an awesome rental location. My favorite rental property so far and we have rented many properties in the past all over central Florida. The amount of things to do in this house will keep you and the kids busy. The gamers and movie buffs will love the theater. You like karaoke, they have that. Chess, there were like 3 different types of chess boards, maybe more. You just want to have drinks and hang out, the outdoor fridge and grill right by the pool/jacuzzi can keep you busy all day while you soak, drink and eat. We stayed about 4 days but next time we will be staying a week or two.
Great stay and a even better location.
Awesome property! Everyone (children and adults) had a wonderful time! Thank you.
We just left today after a 5 day vacation on The Great Escape Parkside House!!! We had such an amazing time! I have a 8 and a 1 year old and they had the best time ever! The pool is amazing, the house is very clean! Andrew is so attentive, he checks on you almost daily and personally delivers things if you request them (last year we suggested bigger pots for big groups and they brought them that day and this year we needed tables to play cards and he brought them that night!) Great customer service is hard to find these days so that is a huge plus! I definitely recommend this house! Can’t wait to go again next year!
Great place to stay. Recommend to all
Amazing experience houses are beautiful amenities are awesome 5 starts for sure
We had such an amazing time celebrating my 50th birthday last weekend! There were about 50 people, adults and kids, and everyone had so much fun!! Some of our favorite things to do at the house were the lazy river, the giant water slide, the Not So Bored Game, the Twister room, the laser room, skeeball, all the carnival games (especially the speed of light), the Pac-Man room, karaoke, & the escape room!! There was so much to do that we all wished we could stay a few more days!! Since we got home, all my family and friends haven’t stopped talking about all the fun they had, and we all plan to go back again soon!!🎉😃🎈
Excellent spot for a bachelor party!
We stayed here for Thanksgiving with 25 people. We all had an amazing time. There was something to do for everyone. Andrew & Belinda were awesome their communication was outstanding from the day we booked till after. I had forgotten my blow dryer they so kindly returning it with a little surprise departing gift as well, which is very thoughtful and kind. I HIGHLY recommend this vacation home rental. Everything was clean and in working condition. We will definitely book again!
There are so many words to describe the Great Eacape Parkside but one stands out above the rest. Creativity. Pure genius. There is not a detail that wasn't thought about. You can spend hours just looking at all the details that are in each and every room. The games are a blast from young to old. If you are bored then that's your own fault. There is something for everyone!!!!! What an experience! The owners were so hospitable, communicative and just all around great people. If you are planning a vacation you really need to consider the Great Escape Parkside. You will not be disappointed. It's better than any theme park'
Good place to stay!! I’d come again
Super friendly hosts everything was amazing will definitely be coming back!
This place is amazing! Every single thing has so much attention to detail. There are so many great rooms, with themes of specific games from your childhood. I think my favorite was the twister room with the fan as the spinner. My husbands favorite room was pac man but he didn't really want to give me a favorite because he also loved the scrabble carpet and the Jumanji movie theater. The pool (billiard) theme pool is so unique as well. This place has so many games and activities to keep everyone busy for days! Even has a built in"clue" themed escape room, which was a lot of fun and challenging. A game lovers dream house!
Jaw dropping view. Best airbnb yet.
It is a beautiful home and there is alot of stuff to do with the kids.
"Amazing" was a word that was used many times in the YouTube videos i watched before staying at the Great Escape Parkside!! After me and 40 other family members stayed here in June 2022 I can also say it truly is AMAZING! We are now wondering how we would be able to top our 2022 vacation. Probably only by returning to one of the other locations or repeat Parkside. The only real issue we had was closet space. Everything else was great. Everything you need in the kitchen, access to the laundry and the many towels available for the pool! We had an awesome and wonderful time leaving us with long lasting memories!!! Thank You for your creativity!!!!
Great place to stay in the summer.
Absolutely an amazing house. Would definitely recommend this property.
We recently celebrated our 20th anniversary with 54 of our closest family and friends at The Great Escape PARKSIDE and it was the most amazing time!! We spent 5 days making memories to last a lifetime for us and our kids/their cousins! The house was non stop fun! We all played from sun up to sun down. It is spacious and clean! The escape rooms are so fun and the waterslide and lazy river was loved by everyone! We can't wait to book again! If you are thinking of booking, DO IT!! The owners and Alyssa were amazing hosts and answered any questions I had basically immediately! Thank you so much for the awesome experience and making our anniversary one for the books!
Our big family had a fantastic stay! It was the ideal spot to host our UCF grad’s celebration with family and friends from near and far.
The house’s layout and space worked well, outfitted with multiple beds and baths, plus a large screened in pool area for fun without interference from pests. Our teenage kids loved the media room, playing endless games of pool, appreciating having their own space.
Our guests raved about the coziness of the home. And the guesthouse is a fantastic bonus.
We would highly recommend!
Sooooo cool. Me group and myself had a great time. Totally worth it
We just returned from our second annual family vacation from "The Great Escape Parkside" and we had an absolutely wonderful time. There were 36 of us and we all fit comfortably. There is so much to do for the kids that you barely know they are there. They stayed so busy having fun that we had to keep checking on them because they were always playing in one of the many themed rooms or game room. The "Jumanji Theater" is so cool. We brought a movie ( there are movies there if you don't bring any) and watched it there and it was even better that a real theater plus the swimming pool is just perfect. We have already booked our next years vacation at "The Great Escape" and trust me... You should too.
It was exactly what we needed!
You guys this Place is a one stop shop you will absolutely love it
OUTSTANDING place for a large family gathering. This was my third vacation at the Great Escape Parkside and I’m looking forward to booking another stay at Parkside or one of the other fabulous homes! We spent 11 nights over the Christmas holidays. The house was clean, the games indoors and outdoors were played many times over, but the best thing of all was the heated pool, lazy river, hot tub, slide and outdoor kitchen. So much fun had by all ~ 28 the first 5 days and 24 the last 5 days. Alyssa, Andrew, and all the team responded quickly to all my many requests from booking the house through checkout. I highly recommend GE Parkside if you are looking for an out of this world experience for young and old.
Awesome time. Highly recommend
Never have I ever been to a more perfect family vacation spot!! This house is incredible!! The property is so secluded and peaceful and the rooms are like something from a dream. Everyone in our group (from month old babies to old grandparents) had an absolute blast. And to top it off, the owner stopped by with a beautiful cake to thank my father for his military service. So thoughtful. The management staff was so friendly too. Everything was above and beyond expectation. Highly recommended
I celebrated my 40th birthday at The Great Escape Parkside with family and friends and could not have asked for a better place to stay for a few days! This house provided endless entertainment and laughs for everyone. No one wanted to leave and numerous people from our party said it was the most fun they have ever had. Andrew and his team were extremely helpful from the moment we booked through the time we checked out. They sent out several communications and helpful tips about the house prior to the stay. Harley, was our key contact throughout the stay and kept in touch just to see if we needed anything. I would stay at this property again in a heartbeat and would definitely recommend anyone looking for a fun and unique experience to stay here!
Great house,views and lake.
Loved every minute of my vaca at this wonderful property! Awesome
I'm a 2-time Great Escape-er. I know most people use these locations as vacation destinations for their big families or extended families, but we used it for a corporate event. It was AMAZING! A PERFECT location for an event focused on game design and creative problem solving. (check out Stepaway.design if you're interested in that sort of thing)
The staff is wonderful. The collection of classic games and other electronic toys and gadgets ALL WORKED! I can't even get most of my gadgets and tech to work in my own home. The attention to detail in all aspects of the interior/exterior design blow my mind. It's impressive on so many levels that it's hard to write a short review.
If you're looking for a unique vacation spot for your family... especially if you have kids... this is THE BEST SPOT!
fit for purpose, thank you
It was so much fun! I’m ready to see the of the properties! 😊😊 …
My fiancée and I held our joint bachelor/bachelorette here and we had an absolutely amazing time! This house is incredible! It's even more impressive in person than it is in photos/videos. All of the facilities are very well maintained and everything works. The team and especially Alyssa are delightful to work with. During our stay, Alyssa was attentive and made everything so effortless. The functioning lazy river was a hit and the slide is so fun! The slide is safe enough that anyone can do it but fast enough that thrill seekers will thoroughly enjoy it. The only bummer that you'll experience is the fomo from not taking advantage of everything that this house has to offer because there's just endless things to do. Highly highly recommend The Great Escape Parkside and we can't wait to experience the other properties that they have to offer!
Thank you enjoyed our stay
LOVED IT!!! Awesome stay, my family really enjoyed this place !!
We just celebrated a family event (a Bar Mitzvah) at the Great Escape Parkside. We had the most amazing experience! We had some minor concerns with the littlest things, and they were all taken care of within hours. We could not be happier. From the pool to the little touches around the house, we used every aspect of the house, and were wonderfully entertained for the 3 days we were there. Our youngest was 4 months, and we went up to 6 grandparents. I was surprised how easily we could create memories with even the "little things" (for example, the large chess set was used multiple times, and the vertical chess set was used throughout the weekend, as was the scrabble). The kitchen and outdoor grill worked great, we could easily cook for the crowd we had. The kids were so entertained, the adults got some time to themselves! I highly recommend Great Escape Parkside!
The place is cute and exactly as pictured. Surrounding area is a bit gritty but you are literally 10-20 mins away from downtown and Disney! The place is gated making it very private. People rent the main house so you share a driveway and backyard with anyone renting the main house. The lake is nice and we even caught some fish during our stay! Austin was very responsive and if there are any issues he is quick to make necessary fixes. If you are looking for something different that is close to downtown and Disney, check this out.
Lots of things to keep the whole family busy, very nice place..
The Great Escape Parkside blew us away once again! Last year, we came with a group of 29, and this year it was just 11 of us — and honestly, it was just as incredible. Whether you're coming with a huge group or something more intimate, this place delivers beyond expectations.
The rooms are pure fun — each one a new adventure that kept everyone smiling. The pool and lazy river were, as expected, a massive hit, and the weather couldn’t have been better for all-day lounging. The game room upstairs? It still feels like an arcade dream come true — nobody wanted to leave.
What stood out this time was how seamless everything felt. From booking to check-in, the staff had everything perfectly dialed in. We also followed their catering recommendations again, and it did not disappoint — delicious and on point!
If you're looking for a place to make unforgettable memories with your group, The Great Escape Parkside is it. Whether you're 11 or 29 strong, it guarantees endless fun, relaxation, and incredible service. Already looking forward to next time!
Hidden gem on Clear Lake.
This place is amazing! I enjoyed this even more then Universal!
WOW! If you want a truly unique experience, this is the place to go. There is something to do for all ages. There are many super sized outdoor games like Human Bowling, a gigantic outdoor dart board, Wack A Mole, Chess and my favorite the Never Be Bored Game. This is a huge interactive board game that incorporates activities like Yahtzee, Connect Four, Jenga, Marble Race and Tether ball. You could easily play this game for hours, hence living up to it's name Never Be Bored. There is also a volley ball court and basketball as well. Worried about rainy days? No need to worry. The interior features multiple unique interactive rooms like Scrabble, Clue, and Xbox. Yes Xbox! With six bunks each having it's own game controller and TV so you can play each other from the comfort of your own bed! It's a gamer's dream. There is a Jumanji themed movie theater and a Carnival Midway Games room that you have to see to believe. The owners are very hospitable and responsive to requests. I would say this is a once in a lifetime experience, but I can guarantee after your first stay you will definitely want to come back for more.
Awesome palace to relax!
Loved it! Had a great time with my family...great hospitality
My family spent this spring break at GEP and it was the best vacation I've ever been on! My sister and I have been dreaming of vacationing here for years and it did not disappoint.
First, the staff is awesome! We had a wandering toddler and inquired about a baby gate for the stairs. Andrew and his team didn't just say "no there are none at that location" but "none at the moment, but I'll get one to you by the end of the day" and they did. We had some miscommunication regarding some charges on our reservation but the staff was quick to respond and get it fixed for us. They even called on some soothsayer friends to perform a rain dance and keep the rain away for one more day 😂
The location is great and not too far from nearly anywhere you want to check out in Florida. We didn't wander too much though as we were having such a great time at the house.
There are so many things to do at this house... We didn't even come close to doing everything we wanted, even being there for 7 days. But there was zero boredom, tons of play, and countless memories we will cherish for years. Guess we will just have to come back to get the things we missed, but not until we check out the other estates!
Would definitely stay here again. People in other reviews are a bit dramatic with respect to the location, you are totally secluded down this road and there is a secure gate and wall to get into the place.
The lake is beautiful, the dock is awesome, the pool was great. If you are a large group of friends, this place is ideal. Plenty of beds and plenty of space to move around and even separate if you are tired of them.
If anything is not to your liking, I promise Jason will work hard to rectify anything. Would definitely book again.
Great escape with family tons of good fun in great environment
BEST TIME EVER AT GREAT ESCAPE!! 25 FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND EVERYONE THRILLED! we probably had the craziest party that anyone had there since we all had to wear goofy clothes and props every day, we had theme days (ie: tiny hat and mustache day), we had every meal catered by local restaurants, we had a craft table all over the kitchen table, our ages were 26 thru 70 and there was something for everyone, we had many competitions, we had our own "passports" that had to be signed by the winning person you played a game with, we filled both refrigerators with extra food, we used every inch of the resort, it was a 40 year old birthday party, the slide was used alot and while you were sliding down you had to yell a greeting to the birthday girl, the huge games outside were used even in the light rain, the beds were totally comfortable, we marveled at each game room, the theatre was a nice break from the crazy music we blasted 24/7, we had so much pool time and there were huge piles of towels for us, the lazy river was used almost 24/7 by someone (even middle of the night) and everyone had silly head animals or crowns, or headbands with things bobbing on them going round and round that lazy river, along with boas and tutu's and hats.
the huge chess game in the big open space was a hit, there are actual boxed games glued to the ceiling pointing the way to the room with that theme, there are games inside of games!!! creativity was at the highest level. we had people come from a few different countries and from all over the U.S , so quite a melting pot and the resort was the best days ever for everyone. 5 stars bar none.
感受很不错,一次不错的经历,风景很美
I must say this home was everything I expected and more!!! The host was very polite and professional. My 45th birthday could not have been any more memorable. My family and friends enjoyed every room, games and pool. We even had the luau package as well. The only issue was with the surround sound. I had to keep my phone close to the theater room in order for it to stay connected. I definitely want will be reserving the other homes of this owner. You will not go wrong with reserving this home!!!
Beautiful home!
Amazing house, pool, and activities. 5 stars all the way!!!
Great location
100% loved this place! Tremendous family memories were made!
Awesome place!
Great place to use for a family vacation. Highly recommend!
Awesome stay
This place was just magical for everyone who stayed here ✨️
all is greaf
We had a great weekend! So much to do and never got bored.
amazing home
Great place to have a family reunion or big family getaway
Great place!
Lots of things to do. Perfect way to spend a long weekend
Great stay
The place is amazing. Never ending fun. So much to do.
I honestly cannot say enough great things about our stay. The hosts were super down to earth and easy going. We were previously planning on staying in a different air BNB in downtown and the guy cancelled on us with no explanation. Throughout the entire weekend we constantly talked about how lucky we were that the original host cancelled so we could stay at this amazing place. The house was just gorgeous and was such a nice place to hangout that we actually decided to just stay in a lot of the time instead of going out to the bars as originally intended. 10/10 you want to stay here.
Great time had by all!! Staff is awesome to work with!
The mother-in-law suite has charm and a lot of potential. The garden area with the putting green and the koi pond definitely needs some maintenance. We enjoyed relaxing lakeside next to the fire pit.
There are some essentials that the home away from home lacked. There were no extra wash towels, no hangers, ironing board or iron. There is also no broom and not an adequate amount of cooking essentials. The freezer on the refrigerator was not working properly as it was iced over. The toilet is on a septic tank so you have to be mindful of the flushes or risk having the toilet backed up.
Fun and exciting place . Entertainment all day long.
Guys, this place is legit! You’d never know you’re in the middle of Orlando just a few minutes from downtown—it’s peaceful. House is great, we packed 15ish people into it during the weekend and it never felt overcrowded. Our hosts were super flexible with check in/out and make it a really enjoyable weekend for all of us. We brought the dogs too and I think they had more fun than we did! Also highly recommend renting the boat out for the day—Josh and Alex are amazing and taught all of us how to wakeboard and wakesurf for the first time!! Overall, 5 stars. Check out the Hideaway Bar too while you’re there for some good vibes and good food.
Great family vacation.. will definitely come back.
Our family stayed here for a week. I was a little nervous about the location however, we did not have one problem. We were able to get Ubers, and grocery delivery no problem. It was quiet and private. The parking inside the gate was great.
The view is beautiful and we loved the sunsets!
We used the firepit several times at night.
Having the guest house on the property worked out great for our parents. They could get away from everyone and relax on their own. Having that extra refrigerator also helped.
We enjoyed the bocce court and putting green.
When we had a question for the property owner, the responded quickly.
We spent a lot of time boating on Clear Lake!
The slide in the pool was great. Had a great time.
The hosts were also responsive and friendly and very clear in communication. I appreciate the their candor and honesty regarding the location. I felt prepared walking in with its gritty surroundings, and the information up front combined with the gate and security features of the property definitely put me at ease and I enjoyed my weekend immensely. The house itself was also as described and a perfect spot for a quick weekend staycation. We actually didn’t have much trouble with getting a ride share/cab and we close to all the downtown activities we had planned. The kitchen, the pool, the sheer number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the lakefront property were exactly what we were looking for.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Will be booking again!!!❤️
We will 100% rent here again. We had such a great time, and for us the location was
perfect. We were visiting family and wanted somewhere close enough to the parks where we could see them and do a park in the same day.
I was a little worried about the pool because I had read a review about it being dirty, but it was clear the whole time. We spent a lot of time swimming in the pool and hanging out by the lake. There is a nice fire pit on site, too.
The one negative i will say is that it looks like they are building a bocce ball court or
something and its not quite done yet. It
didnt really affect us at all though. There is a nice putting green, and the kids had a ton of fun playing on that. If I could give 10 stars, i would!
Ample space, fun activities, and cool decor.
This place was exactly what I hoped it wouldn’t be. It was incredibly misleading from the photos. Truth be told, the photos just don’t add to how misleading the post is to rent this home. It’s misleading because the pictures don’t provide accuracy to how beautiful this place is more outside than inside. The sunset and rise over the water that can be viewed from the bedroom balcony of the pool area is something g that idk if I could have put a dollar amount on. The pool is cool and the jucuzzii was nice as well. The space could have used more cleaning because it was quite dusty inside and the bedding would need to be upgraded to match the quality view. I look forward to returning back to this Corry property to experience the privacy coupled with the priceless outside experience.
Had a Great Time here with a College group
We had a wonderful experience with Orlando Epic Rentals! Their team was so responsive and kind to communicate with before our stay. I had several questions along the way and they always responded promptly and politely!
When we arrived for check in we were a few minutes early and actually got to meet the property manager and he was so nice and helpful upon arrival!
Our stay was wonderful! The house is very private and gated so we felt very safe! Between the main house, guest house and the size of the property it was very roomy! The pool was incredible, the view was unbeatable and honestly we could’ve spent a whole week at the house and been content.
However we did go shopping and to Universal studios while we stayed and the drive to get there was super easy and convenient!
In conclusion, we highly recommend this stay to anyone considering and would love to return in the future! Thank you Orlando Epic Rentals!
This place was AMAZING!!!
Whether you want to relax and take your time going through every game, or if you rush through all of them then relax by the pool, this place is THE Dream place to take your whole family!
We had people aged from 3-86 here, and every single one of us had an absolute ball of a time! There was something for everyone to do!
Every room was well themed, and put together. The hidden games were amazing, and the CLUE escape room was phenomenal!
1000/10, would Highly recommend for every vacation!
Okay, so I've rented from Austin before, along with many other hosts, and I seem to have excellent fortune with all hosts. HOWEVER, Austin, simply, is a cut above the greats. He and his team are absurdly great! They're so attentive to any questions I have, are VERY clear and informative of how to make the house easy to navigate, prepare for a great weekend, and even to close up and check out is simple, easy and not stressful in any way. I actually want to do another house rental from him that is a different house, because I've done the same house twice in a row over the last two birthdays, and the house is literally amazing, but I just feel at this point, I'm missing out on other properties he may have!!
Seriously, I mean every word. We live in a society where honesty seems to be a thing of the past at times, and responsibility is a game of blame. Austin and his team, truly make you feel at home, even when you're away from home.
We've been to both the sweet escape and now the great escape lakeside. Both experiences were wonderful. We loved the layout, we were amazed at all the art and activated and wildly entertained with all the added subtle comments and clues all around the property. When we had a question they were right there with a quick answer. They even came out in a rainstorm after dark to help us find a simple light switch. I would highly recomend staying for a more than memorable experience. This is much Better than a theme park.
Great fun place for large group to stay.
Great experience and fun for all ages!!
Awesome place for a family vacation. Close enough to the parks for those who want to go but you definitely don’t need to leave the property to have a blast. The owners are spot on checking in via text to make sure everything is perfect. We had a problem with an a/c condensate pump and they had it fixed within hours of telling them. We encountered the pool and groundskeeping staff while there and they are super friendly too. 10/10 would recommend for almost any gathering and can’t wait to try one of their other homes.
Bitter Union trip! Had a great time.
Decided to do 2!!!!soooooo much fun
Fun time there! Lots of activities!
Had a great family vacation !!!!!
Great place for family and fun!
Very cool house! A great time!
Nestalgic. Love the atmosphere
Had so much fun at this house
We rented for a weekend birthday party. The place was great. They were attentive to anything that went wrong. A couple of the machines were down and the lake was low but in no way did this damper the fun. Would love to return at some point to another of the properties. The outside games and pool were endless fun even though it was a bit chilly while we were there. The only downside is that the bed in the dungeon and dragons room is quite uncomfortable so I slept a lot in the Theater (extremely cozy). Thanks for the great time.
Rented this for our Bachelor/ Bachelorette weekend and it was great! Everyone had enough space of "their own" but there was plenty of common space to bond. There is so much thought put into every space in this home. We had a blast with Human Foosball and us girls really enjoyed the escape room. The owners/staff are so friendly and helpful. Anytime we had a question or needed something, they were quick with replies/answers. An amazing experience. One to always be remembered. I would recommend this to anyone and would rent again
My friend Joseph lives here
Everyone had a great time!
Great place, lots of fun.
What a fun house! Great place for a large group to come, play and relax. Each room is a different theme. All are based around classic board games. Prices are reasonable when split with others. A great place for family of all ages. We went on a work retreat here and all ages enjoyed the games and time spent. It is on a beautiful private lake with abundant wildlife and great photo spots. The rental comes with kayaks and canoes and the lake is full of fish! Highly recommend this spot for a family reunion or a get away with family and friends.
My family and friends has an amazing weekend at Great Escape Lakeside! So much to do and see that 3 days were not enough! The home was big enough and more then comfortable for us 21 adults and 7 kids. The slide, pool, and lazy river were a hit for everyone! Kitchen was well stocked with everything you would possibly need, including crock pots which made preparing meals so easy!
Lastly, all staff were great! Easy to communicate with and Harley welcomed us to the home and did a great job showing us around! Will definitely book another stay soon!
Best vacation EVER! We eloped here with 15 other of our closest friends and hosted everyone for a long weekend. Such a phenomenal property. You literally never run out of things to do in this place! The detail that was put into every nook and cranny of this home is absolutely insane. This home is the perfect mix of fun and relaxation. It worked perfectly to host our little ceremony. The hosts were super helpful and recommending local places as well asbusinesses and other add-ons that were available for on site extra entertainment/food. Would 10 out of 10 recommend
This is the second year in a row that our staff has enjoyed our annual retreat at the Great Escape Lakeside. Whether you're having fun in the game-themed house, in the movie theater, an escape room, playing games, or singing karaoke or enjoying the outdoors, swimming in the pool, playing human Foosball, laser tag, basketball, kayaking, canoeing, or fishing on the lake or relaxing by the lake, taking a walk, or lounging in the hammocks, there is literally something for everyone. The house is clean and well maintained, and the management team is excellent and responsive. I highly recommend this property, and we look forward to returning!
We spent 2 weeks at The Great Escape Lakeside and had the most amazing time! Kids as young as 2 and up to 12, young adults ages 18-20, and adults 30s-60s. There was so much for everyone. The house was clean and well maintained. I was a little concerned about being able to run and operate all the games etc, but the check in tour was so helpful going over everything AND there was a QR code with directions for everything! Owners and staff was always very responsive for issues (texted over front door code and the hot tub and got an immediate response with resolution). This is the perfect place for large families, reunions, and wedding parties!
I stayed here for a retreat with middle school students. I highly recommend for kids, families, friends, parties. The house is clean, well kept, and the kitchen had everything we needed. And the themed rooms are so thoughtful you’ll be excited to use of all of them. The highlight for us with the swimming pool with slide, hot tub, and lazy river. We loved the hammocks by the fire pit at night. Don’t forget your bug spray! The customer service was top notch, you can text throughout your stay with any questions and they will email you suggestions for local activities and connections. We can’t wait to book again in the future. It was an unforgettable weekend!
We went here to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary with family and friends from ages 6-80, and we had a fabulous time! There was so much to do inside and outside! The rooms are amazing with games of all kinds, and everyone enjoyed the gigantic Word Find on the wall! The staff was absolutely amazing--thank you Alyssa--and made us feel at home. You can call on them at any time and they really wanted you to enjoy your stay. I highly recommend a family vacation here! The grandkids definitely enjoyed the pool and slide! It is isolated but at the same time close to stores and restaurants. Can't wait until our next visit! Definitely more than a 5 Star rating!!
This house is beautifully decorated. My family really enjoyed staying here. It was everything we expected and then some. We were greeted for a walk through by the owner Andrew( whom by the way , I loved talking to), and by one of his staff members, Alyssa. She was very knowledgeable and sweet. All throughout our stay Andrew and Alyssa either called or texted to make sure we were enjoying our stay and make sure we didn’t need anything. Great hospitality!!!! Would definitely recommend this place with a thumbs up. Look forward to visiting one of the other houses they offer. Also the kitchen was stocked with everything imaginable you could ever need! Thanks Andrew and Alyssa for everything
We just came home to Philadelphia after a six night stay at the Great Escape Lakeside and wish we could have stayed another week. We absolutely loved it and had so much to do and so much we didn’t get done. My family is very large and the vast property accommodated us well. The owner Andrew and property manager Alyssa were very accessible and helpful!!
I thought the human foosball was going to lame but it ended up being my favorite activity there along with the “Clue” themed escape room. And so many more activities to do. There was never a shortage of options. Half the family binge-watched “stranger things” in the very cool Jumanji Theatre while the others played games or relaxed in the pool. I highly recommend renting out this property. We definitely want to go back but can hopefully stay longer next time!! Thanks Andrew!
We had an absolute blast! There was more than enough space for our entire group. We had all manner of ages, and everyone enjoyed themselves and had something to do! The property itself was awesome. There is no reason to be bored in this house. The kids had fun chasing armadillos...lol. The pool was a hot spot for many in our group. I was going to add photos, but I realized I was busy having fun, that I didn't take any!
The staff was amazing, and very responsive to any and all of our needs. We did have an issue with the pool that was not anyone's fault, but is was resolved way quicker than expected. They were communicative the whole time, while also giving us interim options, and we were happy with the ultimate result.
We as a group are already planning another stay at one of the other properties they own!
10/10 recommend staying here!
34 friends all together in one place, it was so much fun! It was nice to not hear "I'm bored" from the kids! It was rainy when we arrived, but that was no problem because there was SO much to do inside of the house! Our kids favorite indoor activities were the laser maze room, arcade, the giant chess set, the escape room, and the Jumanji theater room! The parents loved being able to hang out, not having to worry about the kids, knowing they were safe and contained in this huge home!
Once the skies cleared everyone went outside to enjoy the huge go fish pool, lazy river, and slide....then when they were done with swimming they tried out the human bowling, canoes, and paddle boat! We wish that we would have had more time to do everything....this was definitely a memorable experience for the whole family. Hope we can make it back out soon!
Ridiculously Fun for All Ages!
We came as a family of 12 to celebrate a milestone anniversary. Due to COVID-19, we took the added precautions of wearing masks inside, but even that didn't deter our fun. What an amazing place! Every time you turn around you'll find another clever detail. There is too much to do to get to enjoy it all-- even with several days here! Highlights include the Clue-themed "escape room," laser maze, and human bowling. Games (board games, brain teasers, arcade games, outdoor games, video games, etc.) for every age, skill level, and interest!
The service is outstanding. We mentioned to the owner that it would have been nice to have a reading lamp in one bedroom and his response was "we'll have one installed within 46 minutes!" (And we did!). Can't recommend highly enough... everyone in the family is trying to figure out when we can come back and try one of the other houses!
5 stars *****
I was married here & have several positive things to say. It is a beautiful place to have a wedding &there is plenty to do for entertainment. As an Army brat we have traveled a lot. Many of our closest friends live far apart. It was wonderful to gather together in a place where everyone could enjoy. Between the pool, mega theater, lake, endless games, more to do than we could ever imagine, I could rest assured that my guests had entertainment while I was busy getting ready and trying to mingle with loved ones. The Estate is mind blowing and I am glad everyone enjoyed the countless entertainment options. Family that traveled from far away were able to stay together, with rooms to spare. It is a beautiful estate and I have so much to say about this stunning location. It is a perfect venue for a fun, unique, family focused and small wedding. It was a magical day and a fun fun fun place to tie the knot. Getting married is one of the biggest life events I will ever face, I am so blessed, so lucky, so grateful for the special day and the memories we will always share. The pictures fall short from its beauty & the options for memories that will last a lifetime.
