I recently saw someone wearing a t-shirt that said "I would rather be in the mountains". No kidding I thought. The mountains are where the stars are brighter, the air is cleaner and the quiet is even quieter. Does that tempt you to make "The Great Escape"? This lovely custom built home is equipped for family fun in every season. Bikers, hikers, boaters, bakers and even couch potatoes will love the location in every season. Guests will enjoy WIFI, multiple TV’s, two gas fireplaces and an outdoor hot tub. The open floor plan makes cooking, dining, visiting and TV watching all social events. Teens and tweens can escape to the loft or downstairs family room for some “parentless” peace and quiet. Go ahead and make The Great Escape to the mountains! Reserve online or call and let a member of our staff take care of the details for you.

  House was clean and everything in good working order. The floorpan works well for larger groups with plenty of sleeping space for kids in basement and loft. It is a short drive to the ski lodge, or walkable if parking is an issue.

  This was our 3rd year in this rental. We love all the extra room for our big family ski trip. The location is within walking distance to the lodge. We can also access the slips from here.
  The house is showing its age and can use some repairs.

  The location is easy to access existing trails and numerous venues in CV. It is a large accommodating cabin with and plenty of indoor and outdoor gathering spaces. There were 12 individual beds and none were bunk beds. Several of the mattresses may need to be replaced as well as some of the kitchen cookware but didn't impact our enjoying the property.

  Very nice, spacious, and convenient home.
  Very often parking is a problem for over 3 vehicles, but this home could park 5 vehicles without a problem. hot tub was nice, and outside grill was piped directly to gas. Hot water heater was behind locked door, but seemed to be on demand, so hot water was endless.
  We have been coming to this area for family reunions for many years, and this was one of the best places we have stayed. Thank you very much for sharing your home!

  We rented this house for a long weekend of skiing. It's very convenient to the slopes and the ski room in the basement worked out great to store everything. We had 3 families here with kids and there was plenty of space to spread out. The only negative was the tv in the was missing the extension cord, so it didn't work. We will look at booking this house in the future.

  The home was great of our group! Four families had plenty of space to relax together and separately. The kitchen was a good size and had many tools, spices, coffee and everyday items that helped us make our meals. Having 4 full bathrooms was great too! The hot tub was used and enjoyed by the adults. The location was great for our skiers/boarders! The downstairs exterior door and mud room was perfect to contain the wet boots and clothes instead of tracking it all in upstairs. Our group hopes to stay there again in the future.

  Spacious house with ample sleeping space. 200 ft. walk to Winterset slope made it easy to stop by the house for lunch while skiing. Hot tub was in perfect working order. Basement entry room on the rear of the house was perfect for entry/exit to/from skiing. The only improvement would be to renew some of the mattresses. Some are new and in good condition while others are older and saggy. Overall the house was a good choice.

  a guest from East Elmhurst, NY recommends this vacation rental

  The Great Escape was a beautiful house, it may not look as such from outside but once you get in is enchanting. The big glass windows allow the light to shine in and one can contemplate nature from the comfort of their reclanible chairs. At night you can see the starts and moon through your window giving you the sensation that you are outside.
  The only thing I found unpleasant was the noise of some neighbors. Quiet time is at 11, however there were people that did not respect this rule and if you are outside you can hear their noises and no one came to implement this rule. The noise takes away from the natural sounds surrounding you while you having a fire outside. Once inside I did not hear the noises.

  Beautiful House and we had a wonderful stay
  The House badly needs some minor maintenance though as fireplaces (2) did not work, lightbulbs missing, downstairs freezing, no signage outside so very hard to find BUT a lovely lovely house and we would stay there again.

  • Manager Responded on 12/2/2018

    Just a note to let you know that our maintenance department replaced a number of light bulbs in the house...and they are available to do that 7 days a week. They also report that both of the fireplaces are in working order. We apologize if the downstairs rooms seemed cold but again, a maintenance person is only a phone call away.

  Seth H from Pennington, NJ does not recommend this vacation rental.

  We’ve stayed in Winterset for 15+ years and even stayed at this property in the past. Let me just say that it hasn’t aged gracefully. The beds are uncomfortable, and the basement smelled musty. The kids who stayed in the basement bedrooms got sick. While not completely the fault of BoC, ownership needs to step up and take care of this house. It was really sad to see.

  This house has no air conditioner. This is was not informed before hand and we have struggled to sleep in the night times with family of 3 with 6 kids...I wish this should be posted in the advertisement...

  Daniel S from Cincinnati, OH recommends this vacation rental

  The cabin overall was satisfactory, great location, plenty of room for our group of 12 (8 adults and 4 children). It is bigger than it looks from the outside. It has everything you might need, grill, jacuzzi (we did not use), kitchen well equipped, etc. The check in/ check out, no problem, reservation process was pretty straightforward. Now a few things were I think the management can improve. The furniture seems like it needs an upgrade. One chair was broken, same for the railing on one of the bunk beds. The beds were uncomfortable, squeaky. Bring your own pillows (I never do and regretted it this time). Bathrooms have only a couple of soap bars, so bring toiletries (which is fine, but good to know by others). The master bedroom had a funky smell that persisted for the entire time. We thought it might have been from drains in the bathroom, but even after running the water, no change. Also the bedding in the master bedroom did not look clean. Luckily I found some clean ones in the basement. The master bedroom faces sun so you better be a morning person, cause sun it on you through the high windows. Kitchen had everything, but we could not find a cutting board anywhere. That would be good to have, since we prepared all our meals. Couches, TV, all good. It would be good to have a larger dining table considering this cabin can host so many people. One other thing - there was nongarbage bin outside, so we had to keep trash bags on the deck and bring them in inside at night. But this might be true for the entire subdivision. I have it a 4 star because we had a great time we our friends, and that is what matters.

  Sundar R from Herndon, VA recommends this vacation rental

  The house was beautiful and very clean. The beds were very comfortable, bunk beds and floor space. Peaceful and quiet on the deck with a hottub. The house was immaculate and the kitchen and restrooms was well stocked with all your basic needs. We had a wonderful weekend. Rental office communicates very clearly and responds quickly. Super easy to work with and extremely accommodating. We will definitely be returning to the area and will rent this house again.
