How Does The Great Escape Lakeside Sleep 45 People In 13 Bedrooms?Check out the house's website for a floor plan to understand the basic layout of the King/Queen/Twin/Bunk beds in our 13 bedrooms. The beds you see on the floor plan accommodate the first 34 guests. Additionally, the estate has 6 twin rollaway beds and 2 twin sleeper sofa beds. There's also 1 futon and at least additional 2 people usually sleep comfortably in the Jumanji theater where the luxury seats recline fully like beds. (Teens & young adults LOVE falling asleep in the theater while watching movies on the giant screen). In sum, our permanent beds sleep 34, and you can get 11 more in our sleeper sofas, rollaways, etc; Plus, there are 2 pack-n-play cribs!2. How Much Does It Cost?VRBO will provide you with correct rates for any dates you choose Nightly rates vary from $1295-$1845/night (a bit more for the weeks of Xmas, New Year's, Thanksgiving, etc;). Departure cleaning is $888 and taxes are 11%.3. Can The Rates Be Negotiated?Nope, sorry! To keep our prices fair to all, the rates we advertise are the actual, final prices that everyone pays. Remember: It's usually far more cost effective to rent The Great Escape Lakeside than it is to rent a comparable number of nice hotel rooms.... When you consider the abundance of luxury & entertainment amenities at The Great Escape, you're sure to agree that our rates are more than fair.4. What's The Cancellation Policy?You can cancel your reservation at The Great Escape up to 120 calendar days prior to your scheduled check-in date. The only penalty for doing so is a $285 cancellation fee (and any credit card fees if you used a card to make your deposit). If you cancel with 120 or fewer days until check-in, your deposit and any additional money paid would be forfeited. Before or around check-in, a security deposit hold is put on a cc card and then voided after checkout (less any damage in the unlikely event it occurs).5.

We'll also email you a rental agreement to initial, sign, and return to us--finalizing your reservation!6. Do you allow weddings or other events on site ?Absolutely! We can even help refer experienced local caterers, photographers, table/chair rentals, and more! Our own website has a section dedicated to weddings--along w/ some photos from past events.7. Can I book only 1 night or 2 nights --rather than the 3 night minimum?While we can never do a 1 night stay-- 2 night stay are sometimes allowed. The only time they become possible --- is when we have a 2 night GAP in our calendar. If, for example, one guest leaves on another guest is scheduled to arrive on Sunday... THEN, you can book THAT Friday-Sunday to fill the 2 night gap. Some sites may still not allow you to select fewer than 3 nights online-- If you experience trouble filling a 2 night gap, email us or call us for assistance!8. Is The Estate Pet Friendly?It's case-by-case! Definitely* no cats-- Usually.. only dogs... At minimum, your dogs will need to be hypoallergenic and potty-trained. There is a $48/day fee for pets.
