10 Acre Lakefront Mansion Sleeps Up to 45 - Waterslide & Lazy River



This isn't just another VRBO home. It's been on EVERY major news network, featured in The Guinness Book of World Records, talked about on the Today Show's website, shared in viral videos all over the 'net, and so much more.

It's called "The Great Escape Lakeside" and it's perfect for family reunions, vacations, and corporate retreats.

EVERYthing is “game” themed at The Great Escape! Walk in and play on the giant formal chessboard built into the living room floor… Unravel the mystery message spelled in tiles in the Scrabble bedroom… Solve an interactive “escape room” mystery in the two Clue game bedrooms… Practice your international spy skills navigating the world's first residential LASER MAZE....Enjoy classic Atari (and other) games in the Pac-Man bedroom…. Write on the walls of the Pictionary bedroom….

The 40,000 gallon “go fish” pool, giant waterslide, kiddy waterslide, & multi-speed lazy river also features an outdoor kitchen and entertainment center. There’s fishing, kayaking, canoeing, outdoor TV, a Jumanji themed movie theater, family game show themed arcade w/ actual game show booths, a giant LITE BRITE wall, giant Operation game wall, a candidate wall for Guinness Book’s “World Largest Word Search record,” an in-floor piano, carnival games, disco light w/ karaoke, the world’s first residential laser maze, arcade games, a giant inflatable light chase/race arena, human foosball (Google it!), basketball court, tetherball, volleyball, outdoor giant checkers/chess, soccer billiards (another one to Google), and so much more!

Up to 45 people can sleep comfortably at this 10 acre lakefront estate home.
The Great Escape is luxurious and fun for ALL ages, & designed with incredible attention to every detail. There are 13 bedrooms. 8 have ensuite bathrooms, 4 share Jack-N-Jill bathrooms, and 1 uses a 1/2 bathroom across the hall.

ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1. 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?
Homeaway will provide you with correct rates for any dates you choose. Nightly rates vary from approx. $1495-$1745/night (a bit more for the weeks of Xmas, New Year's, Thanksgiving, etc;). Departure cleaning is $888 and taxes are 11%. Last minute dates with less than 4 weeks to go are sometimes much less!

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.

5. How Do I Reserve The Great Escape?
You do it right here on VRBO....You can pay your deposit by any major credit card, check, or direct deposit. We'll also email you a rental agreement to initial, sign, and return to us--finalizing your reservation! You can also find tons of information about our estate by searching "Great Escape Lakeside" anywhere on the 'net!

6. Can I book only 1 night or 2 nights --rather than the 3 night minimum?
The only time this is possible --- is when we have a 2 night GAP in our calendar. If, for example, one guest leaves on Friday...and 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 here on VRBO, message us for assistance!

7. Is The Estate Pet Friendly?
It's case-by-case! Definitely* no cats-- only dogs... At minimum, your dogs will need to be hypoallergenic and potty-trained. There is a $45/day fee for pets.

Some of the equipment didn't operate properly

Kitchen needs a few more items. Game show didn't operate properly. (And we had IT people in our family) Laser room wasn't working properly. Outdoor speakers didn't function properly. We used our Bluetooth speakers. One washing machine wasn't functioning late in our stay (contacted prop. manager) Grill, 3 burners wouldn't light without a lighter. Water pressure from War Room shower would stop. Happened once. Storage in some bedrooms could be improved. So games could be more accessible. Larger trash cans or more needed. Flies were bad on the patio by the pool. We were a clean tennants as well.

Pacheco Reunion 2019

The home provided exactly what we needed! It was a great time for us all. The only thing I would comment on is to add pictures to your book of instructions -- we stumbled a bit with the karaoke setup, but figured it out. P.S. You should know that there are cards missing from the escape room.

My husband and I rented this as a Christmas gift for the entire family. Ages ranged from 6-70. There were 29 of us and EVERYONE loved it!! Beautiful, well kept venue. Just a bit odd that you have to go buy toilet paper and garbage bags if you run out. Seems like they would supply enough for the rented time for a place that holds 45. Everything else is absolutely amazing!!

Wonderful Family Vacation

The house was amazing and the time flew by so quickly! We were completely entertained the whole time and we had ages 10 weeks to 75 years! The family games were the best because we could all play together! We would love to do this trip again in the future. Every room is an adventure and the outside pool and living area is so relaxing!

Unbelievably awesome

I don't think anything else like this exists in the world......From the moment we first arrived, we were in board game wonderland...Loved the fast waterslide, lazy river, movie theater, human bowling , human foosball, laser maze, giant word search ...and quiet time in the kyaks or hanging out by the firepit Met the super nice owner Place was very clean Will be back for sure

Fun place for a company trip.

We had our company trip there. So much to do for adults, teenagers & toddlers. The only downfall was the oven was very dirty so when the Caterer cooked breakfast on our last full day there it smoked up the whole house. We had to open all the doors to get smoke out. The prior days we had it catered they brought the food in already made & just had to set it up. That was the only hiccup to our trip.

The perfect place for a special celebration!

I choose the Great Escape to celebrate my 60th Birthday and my daughters 30th Birthday. Here's what some of the 36 guests had to say. Our Birthday celebration was fantastic. Trying to accommodate a large group is a challenge but the Great Escape handled that task fabulously. My favorite moment was flying down the water slide at midnight as I turned 60 years old. Wonderful Memories were being made with the people I love!!! Thanks for building such an awesome space to share! - Harold The Great Escape was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday with all my friends from around the country. My favorite part was being secluded -- we didn't have to worry too much about waking up the neighbors on such a big, beautiful property! And the water slide was sooo great. I felt like I was 10 years old again back at the waterpark! Hope to go back for 40 - 70, 50 - 80, and 60 - 90 birthday celebrations! :) - Hannah L Whether I wanted to relax by the pool, sing karaoke upstairs, go kayaking at sunset, or play human foosball (or more!), there was always something to do for everyone at any time of the day. It was clear that the owners paid attention to every detail - I'm sure there were more treasures that I missed. I guess that just means that I will have to come back! Coming from rainy Seattle to sunny Orlando truly was a Great Escape - thank you! - Mandy Kayaking/canoeing the lake was peaceful and beautiful! The house was a great space for group activities, inside and out, and the grounds were super well maintained. Obviously, everyone loved the pool, hot tub, and lazy river. The attention to detail with all the themed rooms and small "game-like" touches around the house was incredible! It's clear that this property was created and maintained with the utmost care. Definitely not just a money-making venture! The TVs/ gaming systems/ karaoke set up were refreshingly easy to operate and trouble shoot! - Hannah T Trying to describe my experience at The Great Escape is like reading the back cover of an epic adventure novel! I dodged lasers and solved murder mysteries. I surfed the raging river and relaxed in the fish eye hot springs. I sang sweet melodies from the rooftops and paddled the smooth lake waters. I balled like King James and bent it like Beckham. But most importantly, I made memories and stories that my ancestors will sing songs about for generations to come!" - Davis L

BEST RENTAL EVER!

We rented this home for our wedding weekend. EVERYONE HAD A BLAST - adults and kids. There was never a dull moment, the kids were always active and never bored - same with the adults. The property is a great size for the amount of people it can hold - you never felt cramped. Everyone still talks about the house and wanting to go back.

What a fun, unforgettable experience spending time with loved ones at this amazing property! The fun is endless and you will never tire of finding something "new" down every hallway that you missed the first time, or second or third! This place is magical and because of that deserves to be spent with your closest friends and family! We will be back without question so we can contine to create a lifetime of memories! The owner was on call and available for anything we needed--which happened to be very little! 6 stars! MG

Fun, Fun and More Fun

We just finished a family reunion at Great Escape and it was.....AWESOME!!! We had a large group of 45 people from 5yr to 85yrs and everyone had plenty, plenty to do. Its hard to remember just how many activities we did there, but the favorites were the Human bowling, Human fooseball, Canoeing, Pool, Game Show and outdoor kitchen. Our host, Ginger, was incredibly helpful, constantly checking in on us, and ready to pop in for any technical assistance to get something going. Real world class customer service. Thank you Ginger! My only hesitation in recommending this place to others, is that it will make it that much harder for me to rent this place as it may be booked ;-) Fun, Fun & More Fun

Spectacular private getaway!

The Great Escape Lakeside is the most amazing place I have ever stayed! Andrew was amazing at accommodating us on short notice and helped make our stay one we will never forget! The long scenic entry opened up to perfectly manicured lawn and gorgeous lake view! My husband and I played the laser maze too many times to count and had our first experience doing an "Escape Room". We felt like we were actually IN a game of CLUE. It was tricky but with a little help from your partners and few hints we were only a few answers away from escaping! I can not describe just how amazing this home is! It is an incredible work of art and ingenuity. EVERY room is themed and meticulously thought out from top to bottom! The craftsmanship is well done and well maintained. We can not wait to visit with more friends and family in the near future!

Fantastic place and very well done!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the Great Escape Lakeside. It was our first visit and we hope to return, but need to stay longer to take advantage of all of the great games and fun. Our weather was unseasonably cool so we couldn't enjoy the pool and outdoor activities as much as we wanted, but it didn't matter... We were thoroughly entertained with all of the activities inside. We especially enjoyed the upstairs game room with karaoke and the Family Feud game. Our concierge Ginger was most hospitable and did a good job with her orientation, grocery shopping in advance and helping us understand the electronics. We highly recommend this house of fun and adventure for families with children of all ages. Thank you Andrew Greenstein for providing our family with such a wonderful Florida vacation!

Awesome place for a weekend getaway or celebration

We were a large group of almost 50 celebrating our mother's 90th birthday and the resort made it very memorable and a huge success. Property was amazing just as described on their website, very clean, well-managed, great layout and loads of amenities to enjoy. It was spacious even to a large group, never cramped and very comfortable. The property was well-equipped and had everything we needed for this special occasion. The pool with the slide and lazy river complimented the resort and was everyone's favorite hang out. Property location was perfect and very private. Most importantly, the owner, Andrew Greenstein, and the property manager, Ginger, were nice, pleasant and a pleasure to deal with. They made our stay very comfortable. Great customer service. The whole family would like to thank Great Escape for an amazing and memorable long weekend. We would definitely recommend it to our friends and relatives. Well done!

Best place EVER!!!

My 30 person group just spent four days at the greatest scape Lakeside, and none of us wanted to leave. This house provided us everything we needed to have fun filled days, and great bonding time with all of our friends! We were traveling with a special needs group, four of our group use power wheelchairs, and there was plenty of space and accommodation for everyone to have a great time. The house is everything it is advertised to be, the pool was the greatest feature! We plan on going back next year, if you were looking for a great place for a large group to have a great time this is the one.

We had a good size group (my whole family ages 10-63) & we had left over beds that were never slept in. It's huge & soooo comfortable. But its more than that! This place was amazing. We had the best time!!! I have traveled the world but this vacation was the most fun I've ever had!!! The place was clean & there's just so much to do. We never left the property! I highly recommend it!!!
