Our family of 10,ages one year to grandparents had a restful,wildlife filled week at Our Great Escape. I can only imagine the beauty this Fall. The screen porch was a hit for guilting and a game of Uno Attack. Grandpa enjoyed reading out there. We were blessed to have found this home so well furnished, thank you.

Dear Rob,
Words cannot properly describe the enjoyment that we had up north at your beautiful home on Lost Land Lake. Your place is deluxe and the accommodations were near perfect. We saw lots of wildlife, caught a few fish, and simply enjoyed. The pontoon boat we rented was great for fishing and cruising. My sisters, their husbands and Bunny and I wish to thank you for allowing us to rent your "Great Escape".
Next year we hope to have our children join us and rent "Our Great Escape" in late June or July. We'll let you know soon.
Thanks again,
Salem and Bunny Markos

Comment Text: “Our Great Escape” is just the right combination of modern convenience and rustic beauty. Located in a choice location on Lost Land Lake, this spacious cabin comfortably accommodated our group of 10. While the men were fishing for Muskie, Northern, Crappie and Bass on one of the area’s premier “quiet lakes,” the ladies enjoyed sunbathing, swimming, relaxing on the porch, bike riding and scenic walks. One morning we were thrilled to see a red fox as we walked along one of the many paths in the area. And what would a vacation be without shopping? Nearby Hayward is full of northern charm, sporting some interesting shops, a delicious bakery, some of the best ice cream in Wisconsin and a Muskie Museum for the diehard fishermen in our group. At night we enjoyed sitting around the fire pit eating smores, relaxing in the great room playing one of the many board games provided by the owners and enjoying movies on the 42” big screen television. We can confidently say that the owners of “Great Escape” provide every special ingredient necessary for making your vacation in Wisconsin one of the best ever! We whole-heartedly recommend “Our Great Escape” to anyone looking for an enjoyable week away from the hustle and bustle of life.

"Our Great Escape" was our family's first introduction to vacationing in Wisconsin and what a fantastic first impression! Winding along the tree lined road encircling the Lost Land Lake we were captivated by the beauty of this forest setting. What a pleasant surprise as we turned into the circle drive and pulled up to an immaculately maintained property. Once inside we were equally impressed with the decor featuring a stunning great room, comfortable furnishings, top-notch kitchen, and special amenities that made our stay so enjoyable. We particularly enjoyed the screened in porch with an unrestricted view of the lake. From the porch we could read a good book while keeping a close eye on our kids swimming at the beach or fishing off the dock. Space doesn't permit us to list all the things we liked about "Our Great Escape." We look forward to returning soon!

Upon arrival, my first impression of the Our Great Escape rental was how well maintained the house and surrounding grounds were. Large trees provide the natural beauty of the woods yet cleared enough to avoid feeling crowded.

Once through the door, to my surprise the whole house appeared newly remodeled, top to bottom. The entire layout of the kitchen and living area is what you would commonly see built today. I wish my own home was as updated and nice as this place.

The Great Room is entirely conducive to those desiring to spend quality time with family and friends. Plenty of seating and room to lounge. Everything was very clean, comfortable and beautifully done.

Once outdoors, you begin to appreciate the natural beauty of this lake and the surrounding area. Being a “Quiet Lake” allows you to enjoy God’s awesome creation without the distraction that modern water sports bring. The boating observed on this lake is calm and not a nuisance. The sound of loons and the observation of bald eagles fishing really took me out of my suburban world. Truly a great escape!
