Please
see our floor plan for a layout of the
King/Queen/Twin/Bunk beds in our 13 bedrooms. Those
beds sleep the first 34 people.
The twin beds in the War Games & Monopoly
Bedrooms can be combined to become Kings. Additionally, The Great Escape
Lakeside also has 6 extra twin
beds (rollaways or trifolds) 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
fully recline like beds. (Teens & young adults, in
particular, like to fall asleep in the theater while
watching movies until the wee hours). In sum, our
permanent beds sleep 34, and you can get 11 more in
our sleeper sofas, rollaways/tri-folds, etc;
Absolutely! The Great
Escape Lakeside is a high-end 13 bedroom lakefront
home with superior finishes and extremely
comfortable bedding.
The 40,000 gallon pool is huge and provides limitless opportunities for
extreme relaxation. We often rent to adults-only groups
who choose The Great Escape for company retreats, SuperBowl events, milestone
birthdays, etc; Our adult
clientele LOVES the waterfront,
fishing,
canoeing,
the outdoor kitchen,
the deluxe movie theater, etc; Most
adults also are emphatic about
the giant word search wall,
the
CLUE Escape room game, and
the TV Game Show Studio.
After all, who doesn't like competing to be
first to hit the
buzzers in a high-intensity game of Jeopardy or Family Feud?
Human Foosball is another fun team builder
in which adults have to work together to compete
against like-minded opponents. In short, there's
absolutely nothing at The Great Escape that fails to
"wow" adults-only groups...whether you're looking to
just hold meetings in the formal areas, spend your days
alternating between poolside loungers and the lazy river, do some boating,
or even enjoy some of our larger-than-life games &
activities, you'll find that everyone in your group
absolutely LOVES
The Great Escape Lakeside--regardless of their age.
Simply put: Children
will have an unforgettable time and experience
something fun, wonderful, and even inspiring. We receive reports all the
time from clients who tell us that they asked their kids mid-stay if
they'd prefer to stay "home" at Great Escape or go to
Disney...and the kids choose Great Escape...every
time. From small toddlers to grade schoolers,
younger guests will find themselves surrounded by activities and "wow" areas
that capture their full attention and imagination.
They'll spend hours trying their hands at
our giant OPERATION game, creating works
of art on
our giant LITE BRITE wall, competing in
Pictionary, participating in events at
the TV Game Show Studio,
swimming in the lazy river, using the
kiddy waterslide, trying to move our giant teak chess
pieces, watching family movies in
the Jumanji theater, going out on our 5
person pedal boat, scoring better in
our laser maze than the older kids
(because they're so small they can walk right under
more of the lasers without much effort!),
playing video games,
singing karaoke, and so much more...
Your teenagers will be
posting non-stop photos and information via social
media (The Great Escape has great wi-fi!)--bragging about where
they are to their friends & followers. Teens
LOVE
the pool,
go nuts over the giant waterslide, can't get enough of the
multi-speed lazy river,
adore laser light race,
enjoy soccer billiards,
go ga-ga over human foosball,
competitively play our other
sporting activities, chillax with our abundance of
video games,
test their skills at the
laser maze, attempt to make it through
the CLUE Escape Room
Game, get themselves VERY into the
TV game
show studio, spend time in
Trivia Hall...sing
their hearts out at karaoke, try in vain to complete
the
world's largest word search.... and they usually have
to be pulled out of the
Jumanji movie theater. They can even
Bluetooth their music to any of our sound systems so
your whole family can hear all of their favorite
songs! Like everyone else in your group,
teenagers never seen anything like The Great Escape
(because it doesn't exist anywhere else!)--and
they'll have dropped jaws from the moment they first
arrive.
Yes! It's a fully
stocked kitchen!-- We have all common appliances
you'd expect to find in the kitchen of an upscale
home plus a few extras. There's also a coffee maker
and a Keurig, as well as silverware &
service for dozens and dozens and dozens of people.
There's even a second/spare refrigerator in the
garage for additional food storage. Additionally,
our outdoor kitchen has service for many dozens of
people AND
has an extra dishwasher and even an ice machine!
During the off season, renting
The Great Escape Lakeside starts at $1495/night + $888 departure
cleaning and 11% tax. In peak season (summers and certain
major holidays), it's $1695/night+ tax & cleaning.
Mid-Season's (certain February-April Spring Break weeks)
base rate hovers around $1595/night....In all seasons, it's an
additional $185 for weekend nights. A flat $488 amenities
fee is added to all bookings to cover frequent replacement
of linens and a number of other maintenance items that
require periodic attention to keep the estate looking so
amazing! If you're booking a 3 night Friday-Monday stay
during the off season, you would calculate your total price
as follows: 2 weekend nights at $1680/ea= $3360 + $1495
(for Sunday night) + $888 departure cleaning + $488
amenities fee + 11% tax= $6,916.41. That's barely $50 per person per night if you fill the house! The deposit to hold a
reservation is 30% of your total and the balance isn't due
until 2 weeks prior to check-in. That price grants you
exclusive rights to the entire 10 acre lakefront estate,
sleeping space for up to 45 guests, boating, fishing,
pool/lazy river/hot tub/waterslide use, unlimited laser maze
& escape room game play, and all of the dozens of other
amenities listed on this site!

While we understand
that some consider negotiating to be a commonly
accepted way
of doing business, it's simply not our way!
To keep our prices simple and fair to all, the rates we
advertise are theactual and final prices
that everyone pays.
Remember: It's
almost always more cost effective to rent The Great
Escape Lakeside than it would be to rent a
comparable number of nice hotel rooms and when you
consider the abundance of entertainment amenities
you get to enjoy at Great Escape, you'll surely find that our rates are
extremely fair.
Comparing other
vacation rentals to The Great Escape Lakeside would
be like comparing a Monopoly tournament to a
knitting class! Along with our
sister properties,
The Sweet Escape House &
The Ever After Estate, we're truly in a
class by ourselves. No one who charges less has our
sleeping capacity, hardly any have our acreage, and
certainly no other home has our unique level of
"wow" amenities & attractions. From the
laser maze to our
giant waterslide,
full-escale escape
room game,
word search wall,
arcades,
movie theater,
outdoor kitchen,
lazy river,
boats, dock,
sports
courts, and beyond, no expense has been
spared at The Great Escape Lakeside when it comes to
making sure we've created the WORLD'S most unique
and entertaining luxury estate rental. Any other you might rent is
really.... "just a house."
Standard check-in is 4pm and standard check-out is
10am. We often have same-day guest transitions and
our housekeeping, pool, & maintenance crews
definitely need every minute of those 6 hours to
prepare The Great Escape for your arrival. When we
do not have a same-day transition, we may be able to
accommodate an early check-in and/or a late
check-out for an additional fee---but we often
cannot know for sure if this will be possible
until a week or two prior to your arrival.
You can cancel your
reservation at The Great Escape Lakeside 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.
In most cases, purchasing a travel insurance policy
will protect your deposit in the unlikely event that
you get sick and need to cancel at the last minute.
Sorry! Just like any
major hotel, cruise ship, or travel destination,
your dates cannot be officially held with only a
verbal request. Every booking requires a
completed rental agreement and 30% deposit. Please
understand that it simply
wouldn't be fair to turn away other potential guests
while your group decides whether or not to book the
estate. HOWEVER, if you're SURE you want to reserve
The Great Escape but simply need a little time to
collect money from each person in your family/group
and don't want to lose your dates in the meantime, then we
DO have the option to hold
your dates with a signed rental agreement and a
non-refundable partial deposit of $500 (normally,
your 30%
deposit would be refundable if cancelled up to 90 days
prior to check-in). You'll then have 14 calendar
days to pay the remainder of your 30% deposit to
keep your reservation.
We surely can...
Click the link at the top of this screen to add
yourself to the waiting list...but
please know that cancellations are *extremely*
uncommon. If your dates are unavailable and aren't
at all flexible, then we recommend checking
availability at one of our "sister" properties
managed by Orlando Area
Luxury Rentals (just like this one!). First try
The Great Escape PARKside, it's almost like a mirror image of Great Escape Lakeside but with two extra bedrooms and some alternate themes (i.e. the Pac-Man room was changed to the MS. Pac-Man room!)
Our other properties are also just unique and over-the-top as well! In fact, Travel
& Leisure Magazine called The Sweet Escape House (www.sweetescapehouse.com)
"...more fun than Disney World..." and HGTV featured
The Ever After Estate (www.theeverafterestate.com)
on "Most Outrageous Homes In America!" Be sure to also look at The Lake Louisa Chateau (www.lakelouisachateau.com), a sports-themed mansion on 54 waterfront acres with boating!
Check out the above homes if Great Escape Lakeside is
unavailable for your dates! You can see an availability calendar for ALL of our estates at once by clicking HERE!
Use the "RESERVE"
link on our menu and select your dates. Enter your
contact information and a short time later, we'll call
and/or email you to confirm your booking and then
email you a rental agreement. Initial, sign, and
return the agreement with your 30% deposit (via your
choice of any major credit card, e-check,
Zelle, Paypal, Venmo, wire transfer, or even direct
deposit)...Once you've done that, you've got an
officially
confirmed reservation at The Great Escape Lakeside! *If you need some time to collect the 30% deposit from everyone in your group but want to hold your dates immediately (to avoid losing them), you can opt to put down a non-refundable $500 now and then pay off the rest of the deposit within 2 weeks. To do this, simply enter 500now (all lowercase) as your "existing client access code" on our reservation payment form.
There are plenty of stores and restaurants within an
easy 5-10 minute drive (and two restaurants within a
2-3 minute drive or a fairly short power walk!). The Great Escape is located
right outside the sprawling Orlando suburb of
Clermont which has a Super Target, Kohl's, Wal-Mart,
etc;--even a BJ's Warehouse! (CostCo and
Sam's Club are further though--roughly a half an
hour from the Estate). It's only about 35 minutes from
the gates of The Great Escape to the main gate of
Walt Disney World. Orlando International Airport (MCO)
is about 45 minutes by car.
On a case-by-case
basis, we do allow guests to bring
hypoallergenic, potty-trained dogs. (In short, this
means nearly any dog CAN come!) Guests are required
to have their pets pre-approved. There is a $49
fee per pet per day.
The Great Escape
wasn't specifically designed for wheelchair access
but we've had wheelchair guests stay on site--and
they've loved it! The entire downstairs can be
accessed with only one step up onto the front porch
but most wheelchair guests probably will not be able
to go upstairs (See our floor plan
to learn which attractions are upstairs and which
ones are downstairs). The lower level does
have two walk-in showers in the 2 master suites--
with only a minor step down to get in to either of
them.
