Beautiful home and setting

The Great Escape is lovely, well decorated and comfortable. The beds are roomy queens and soft. Spacious porch is great for early mornings or evening relaxing. Tastefully decorated and adequate supplies for guests. Driveway is a little treacherous -- on the hillside parking and tight turn around. Pet friendly is a great attribute and we enjoyed the stay and walks with our furry friend. PS, bring your own Keurig cups.

Great getaway for long weekend

We found The Great Escape to be excellent. It was clean, beds and sofas were comfortable, furnishings were on the new side. The front deck is huge. The house sits up in the woods and feels private. Communication was seamless. We hope to come back!

The Great Escape is a great escape!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Great Escape! The house was very functional, very clean, and very pet friendly. The houses in the Retreat are spread out enough to allow plenty of privacy. It also felt very secure, as it is in a gated community. I would highly recommend staying at The Great Escape! It is definitely a 5 Star rental!! Thank you for providing us such a great place to get away to for the weekend. We will be back!

Well stocked, quiet and close to hiking trails

This cabin is very spacious in the main room with a very well stocked kitchen which we appreciated for cooking. The location is close to some of our favorite hiking trails as well as Tracy City and Monteagle for eating out. A nice enclosed space for a dog. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to a future visit.

Relaxation Getaway

The Great Escape is just what we needed for a weekend getaway. This home sits off the main road just enough to have privacy. The home was extremely clean and well designed. The fenced yard was a plus for our dog. Would highly recommend staying at this home especially if you have a fur baby!

Clean Cabin in Beautiful Nature

Highly recommend this cabin. Have stayed at several cabins in NC and TN, this one was super clean, in a beautiful and safe neighborhood. Would have loved to stay longer. Driveway is a bit steep for regular cars, our Jeep had no problem though. Amazing patio, perfect for grilling or relaxing.

Quiet neighborhood

New neighborhood, quiet and peaceful. I was ahead of schedule and contacted the host and was able to check in a little early since family coming from the south was caught in traffic. Very clean home and dog friendly (reason we chose it). GPS doesn’t recognize the address but it is easily findable without GPS!

Wonderful retreat!

This house was perfect for my family. We loved the wooded setting with huge front porch, private firepit and outdoor cozy lights. The stars were beautiful! The fenced part of the property allowed my dog to safely run around. The home was immaculate with great furniture. It was spacious, stylish, and had everything we needed. (If you need conditioner for your hair, be sure to bring your own - just a heads up for my curly girl friends) I highly recommend staying at this perfect little retreat!

Perfect Stay for a Weekend Away

We’re hesitant to leave a positive review because we don’t want anyone else know about this gem! The home had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend and it was made even better with the quick and detailed communication from the Retreat team. The home had enough space for 2 humans and 3 dogs. The loft was a nice bonus which we really only used to setup a laptop to pretend we would be doing some work (didn’t happen). The bedrooms have just enough space for the full-sized bed and they are comfortable with a refreshing ceiling fan. If I there was any drawback it would be the bed size, but that’s a personal preference, not a complaint against the home. Overall, the inside was enough space for us. We can see how 6 people could sleep in the home, but it will be tight with only one bathroom. Just spend most of the day lounging outside and come in for shower and bed! We appreciated the privacy of the home: it is one of the few in the community without neighbors directly around it. It is setback from the street with lots of tree cover. It is not on the “main” street so there is minimal car traffic. However, the common area and pool are mapped out to be a few doors up from this home. The community as a whole was very quiet with a few fast cars driving up to one of the houses. We saw a few people walking or with their dogs; otherwise, you could only hear nature. Thank you so much for the Retreat’s hospitality and making sure we were comfortable throughout the weekend. We cannot wait to visit this home and the area soon!
