Amazing little getaway!
The kitchen is amazing! Love the open concept, hot to hangout while making awesome food. Unfortunately didn’t get to use hot tub due to weather, but got to do some s’mores on the deck! Kids had a great time!

Amazing!!
The pictures do not do justice to how amazing this property is! This place was better than we imagined. My family stayed here while visiting Gettysburg. Perfect location, great view, beautiful home, great communication. The only bad part…this property has set my expectations of all other VRBOs. I’m not sure we will find another place this amazing.

Gorgeous house with a view
This was a beautiful house that was meticulously maintained. The fall leaves made the mountain view even more gorgeous and the weather was perfect to sit outside on the porch and enjoy it. Our only complaint was that we were there for a wedding so we didn't have much time to spend in the house!

Birthday weekend
We had a wonder, relaxing time in the Great Escape. Everything is as pictured, if not better. We enjoyed visiting apple orchards, driving the back roads, and chilling at night over a nice glass of wine and a good meal. Will definitely be back again.

weekend with friends
The house was very clean and well kept. There was plenty of indoor space to spend time in. Unfortunately due to torrential rain, we didn't get to really enjoy the outside space and beautiful view.
