Mountain Lake Escape was exactly as the name promised! The breathtaking view, hiking near the property, relaxing in the hot tub, and spending the evenings playing the board games provided at the cabin were just what we needed to unplug and reconnect as a family!

It was a great view. The place was very nice. It could have been cleaned better. There were rings in toilet. Looked like they had not been cleaned in a while. Everything else was very nice.

Great view!

Really enjoyed our stay at the cabin! Very peaceful and very convenient location! Only suggestion I have is that the sliding glass doors to the deck need to be replaced. Everything else was great!

Excellent views

There wasn't a single quirk about the property that wasn't easily made up for by the views. I was nervous that the rental images were enhanced, but truly they don't give the views justice. Overall, the house met our needs and the views exceeded our expectations. It was a very relaxing experience.
