Across reviews, guests describe Stunning Log Home, 6 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, sleeps 11 on 10 secluded acres as a spacious, comfortable retreat well suited to large groups, with multiple gathering areas, plentiful bedrooms and baths, and a well equipped kitchen.
Many note a quiet, secluded setting close to Saluda, though the steep gravel driveway can be challenging. Feedback on cleanliness is generally positive, but several reviews mention lapses such as kitchen upkeep and deeper cleaning needs. Service is typically responsive and check in and out are straightforward. Overall, expect a roomy, well supplied mountain getaway best for groups seeking privacy.

The Escape was exactly as billed! Beautiful, secluded, spacious, clean and perfect for group. My family gathered there for my son’s wedding at the picturesque Glassy Chapel. There was plenty of room for socializing, and eating, but the size and location of the bedrooms, two living room and outdoor deck spaces allowed for smaller group activities and personal space. Four couples can all have a suite and the kids and/ or teens can have the 2nd floor loft rooms with a full bath to share. The main and lower half baths were also conveniently located. The large home is accommodating, yet very cozy. Saluda is a very quaint small town with a variety of shops and restaurants, but everything closes up pretty early. Fortunately, we planned to mostly cook in and everything we needed was there.

After negotiating the effects of Hurricane Helene, we were so happy our stay in “The Escape” worked out! The house was perfect for our family of five siblings and spouses celebrating together what would have been our Dad’s 100th birthday. The house was awesome, everyone had their own bedroom and bath and having two living room spaces and two refrigerators really added to the comfort. The parking area was very spacious, and the fire pit with a lot of wood stacked up certainly added to our fun. Thx for a memorable weekend!

This house is beautiful as is the quiet setting. The layout of the house allows plenty of gathering spaces but private bedrooms with comfortable beds. We were a group of 7 women and it made the perfect getaway. 2 minutes to the pretty town of Saluda.

Very nice property. Clean, well supplied. Prompt responses from host. After a hard rain, there were limbs on the driveway which we had to move into order to get up to the property. Drive is steep but manageable. A little more gravel/smoothing out would make the driveway easier to navigate.

The Escape was fantastic, looks and feels new, grounds are well kept, ample parking space, kitchen is well equipped, as is the entire home, accommodated our group of six guys comfortably, and we’ll be back. It was perfect for six old friends who get together annually, and have known each other for 45+ years. The fire pit was great for late night music & conversation, there was a perfect spot for some ultra competitive corn-hole during the day, and the basement was ideal and set up beautifully for a Saturday full of college football. Over the years, we’ve stayed in homes from Bryson City NC to Lake Lure, but none have been any better than The Escape in Saluda NC. Our group unanimously voted to return next year. Thank you Grier for being a great and responsive host! BZ

The Escape was very private and roomy! Very well maintained and supplied. We loved sitting outside in one of the covered porches. My daughter discovered the Merlin app and was able to find 18 different birds one morning. Great experience. We would definitely book again. It's hard to find a place that fits our family of ten so well, but there was a space for everyone!

This is the third time I have stayed at this house. It is great as far as the space and it is in a secluded location. I wish there was a pool table or other game tables in the basement. A hot tub would also make this house perfect. I must say the kitchen needs a deep cleaning - the counters were very dirty and the stove and back splash were nasty. The dishes had been put in the cabinet dirty (coffee cups had coffee residue like they had been used and just put away). The large sofa needs to be cleaned or replaced also, otherwise the property was clean. We really like this house and would stay again, hopefully if some much needed maintenance was done.

When we got there the pool was dirty wit towels and toys on the deck. The pool was covered with leaves, and the walkway to the pool was also covered with leaves! However, we called about the problem, and they were there that afternoon to fix the problems we complained about!! The oven was filled with grease , so we had a Smokey house for a few hours. The rental company wanted us to take the trash to the street and the driveway had a 45 degree angel so it was not easy taking the trash up.

This home is beautiful and in a great location BUT….. we walked into this home and at first sight we were in love. They left a bottle of wine and two wine glasses on the counter for us but unfortunately it was set on top of a pile of crumbs probably left from the prior guests. We opened the refrigerator to put our food away and it was filthy. Our first night we were preparing dinner and when we opened drawers looking for cooking utensils we noticed mouse droppings. We took everything out and put in dishwasher. The next morning when preparing to make breakfast we opened the drawers to again find mouse droppings. Mouse droppings were also found in a bed and on lower level floors. Upon leaving we notified the property manager about this and got NO RESPONSE. So as long as cleanliness is not important to you this is a great home.

The Escape was a great size house for our adult family of 10. Having multiple “master suites” was perfect for our 4 adult couples. The twin beds turned out to be very small for our large college-age boys, but they made it work. We did not really make use of the large downstairs family room, but loved having the 2nd full refrigerator to store food and drinks. Our together time was spent in the upstairs family room connected to the kitchen.The overhead lighting in the large family room is not enough - a couple of lamps would really help. Also the kitchen is very dark. Undercounter lighting would really be helpful. We enjoyed grilling out, and made use of all three porches. This is not a mountain house with a view. If it is isolation in a wooded area, this is the place for you. The gravel road to get to the house is very steep and slippery . . . you definitely need a running start! But it is a very comfortable and beautiful house, and it is well stocked with all that you need. We made some great family memories. The house is also conveniently located very close to town, and an easy drive to the Green River, where we enjoyed a full day of kayaking.

This home is beautiful and in a great location BUT….. we walked into this home and at first sight we were in love. They left a bottle of wine and two wine glasses on the counter for us but unfortunately it was set on top of a pile of crumbs probably left from the prior guests. We opened the refrigerator to put our food away and it was filthy. Our first night we were preparing dinner and when we opened drawers looking for cooking utensils we noticed mouse droppings. We took everything out and put in dishwasher. The next morning when preparing to make breakfast we opened the drawers to again find mouse droppings. Mouse droppings were also found in a bed and on lower level floors. Upon leaving we notified the property manager about this and got NO RESPONSE. So as long as cleanliness is not important to you this is a great home.

Location
Secluded and quiet yet convenient to Saluda; multiple guests note the steep gravel driveway can be tricky, especially after rain.

The Escape was exactly as billed! Beautiful, secluded, spacious, clean and perfect for group. My family gathered there for my son’s wedding at the picturesque Glassy Chapel. There was plenty of room for socializing, and eating, but the size and location of the bedrooms, two living room and outdoor deck spaces allowed for smaller group activities and personal space. Four couples can all have a suite and the kids and/ or teens can have the 2nd floor loft rooms with a full bath to share. The main and lower half baths were also conveniently located. The large home is accommodating, yet very cozy. Saluda is a very quaint small town with a variety of shops and restaurants, but everything closes up pretty early. Fortunately, we planned to mostly cook in and everything we needed was there.

This house is beautiful as is the quiet setting. The layout of the house allows plenty of gathering spaces but private bedrooms with comfortable beds. We were a group of 7 women and it made the perfect getaway. 2 minutes to the pretty town of Saluda.

Very nice property. Clean, well supplied. Prompt responses from host. After a hard rain, there were limbs on the driveway which we had to move into order to get up to the property. Drive is steep but manageable. A little more gravel/smoothing out would make the driveway easier to navigate.

The Escape was a great size house for our adult family of 10. Having multiple “master suites” was perfect for our 4 adult couples. The twin beds turned out to be very small for our large college-age boys, but they made it work. We did not really make use of the large downstairs family room, but loved having the 2nd full refrigerator to store food and drinks. Our together time was spent in the upstairs family room connected to the kitchen.The overhead lighting in the large family room is not enough - a couple of lamps would really help. Also the kitchen is very dark. Undercounter lighting would really be helpful. We enjoyed grilling out, and made use of all three porches. This is not a mountain house with a view. If it is isolation in a wooded area, this is the place for you. The gravel road to get to the house is very steep and slippery . . . you definitely need a running start! But it is a very comfortable and beautiful house, and it is well stocked with all that you need. We made some great family memories. The house is also conveniently located very close to town, and an easy drive to the Green River, where we enjoyed a full day of kayaking.

The mountain log house was in a good location, brightly lit and had more than enough space for my group. We loved our stay there.

The cabin was just as described and wonderful for our group. What made this cabin better than some of the others we've stayed in were the little touches and details that were added to make your stay easier. The road to the cabin is lined with lights which makes it easier at night. The amenities within the cabin were nice, things not normally seen in other cabins. The cabin was ready for us, snow was removed from the walkway and the heat was on when we arrived. I would stay here again and our team agreed. Highly recommend this cabin. It is located near the town of Saluda and only a few minutes away from Hendersonville if you need a bigger town.

Amazing. Nice sized bedrooms and individual baths. The log cabin look was impressive. The kitchen and the family rooms on 1st and 2nd floor were excellent. Loved the gas grill. The overlook at night was breath taking.

We were blown away by this rental. We came as a large family with our kids to have Thanksgiving, and were completely comfortable. Also it is just picturesque and so beautiful. Every corner is lovely and cozy. The hosts were quick to help if we had any questions. We felt totally comfortable and private. Highly recommend.

The Escape was very private and roomy! Very well maintained and supplied. We loved sitting outside in one of the covered porches. My daughter discovered the Merlin app and was able to find 18 different birds one morning. Great experience. We would definitely book again. It's hard to find a place that fits our family of ten so well, but there was a space for everyone!

The Escape is the quintessentially perfect, warmly inviting, private, beautiful location for those who appreciate a large amount of space for important gatherings requiring all of the things noted in its description. The natural setting is wonderfully peaceful. Host was great. A great location for outdoor enthusiasts, local shopping and excellent dining in Saluda, Tryon, Landrum, Flat Rock, Asheville within very reasonable driving distancea. A nice trail hike (or brief drive) will bring you to the Orchard Inn (a favorite). We chose The Escape for a very important occasion and it exceeded our expectations.
