Let me start off by saying there were so many beautiful things about the Great Escape! The location, view from the balcony, and hot tub were our favourite parts. We also loved how fully equipped the kitchen was. Huge bonus. That being said there were a few things that seemed a bit strange to us.
Only providing one garbage bag. When asked if there were more I just received a message from the host saying “sorry, there are not”. Then after asking where I could find more she never responded.
The detergent or whatever is used to clean the bedding & towels. We both got a bit of a rash from the bedding, specifically the pillows. The smell was so strong I woke up with a headache and we both had a hard time getting to sleep. The smell isn’t bad, it’s just super strong. We also had to put a t shirt of our own overtop of the pillows to sleep on to cover the detergent.
There is damage to the electrical socket closest to the couch that was also pre damaged before our arrival. That didn’t seem safe for kids or animals.
No pets allowed on furniture. That was one thing that bummed us out because the dog sleeps with us and sits on the couches with us, etc.
screen door was ripped. We figured it was an old door or something. We had only used that door once though.
Minus the few things we found to be a bit of an issue, everything else was fantastic. The propane fire pit we used every minute and the hot tub is awesome. We also both loved the lights and little touches to the outside as well as the gated patio! Perfect for dogs. View, etc.”
