Mary & Shane, Where to Begin...... The Grand Escape far exceeded any expectations we had. EVERYTHING was perfect! The condition of everything was pristine, from the comfy furniture to the amazing appliances, we "wanted" for nothing. The expansive space was large enough for us all to be together, but the bonus rooms also allowed us to have a place to go for a little quite time too. Due to the weather we did not have a lot of opportunity to be outside, but to have the lake at the home level was really a plus. We hope to be able to come back to the area next year, and hope to be able to stay at one of your properties again. This was our first vacation with Grandchildren and one we will never forget. Babies in pajamas......there is nothing better! Thank you so much for making this memory possible. Diane and Dave

While our family was vacationing at the Lac Courte Oreilles Lodge, we really appreciated the TV's and internet access. Both worked perfectly...especially for the Olympics! The massive dining table was wonderful not only for eating, but for gathering and game playing. The kitchen provided much conversation about the utensils..it had just about everything we needed. And you were right about the lake, it is amazingly "gin" clear! We found the Lodge vintage and charming. I'm sure The Lodge could tell many stories, and we have plenty of our own. See you next summer! -Cellene B.

Mary & Shane:  Thanks so much for extending the New Years rental, our group had a fabulous time! From airplane rides over the lake to cross country skiing, cooking in the commercial kitchen to hanging out hearthside. It was a great gathering place and very cozy. You now have 10 more Lodge fans! – Mary C. MN

Hi Mary, It was another great week at the OCC (Old Chicago Club). Thank you for providing a facility that is perfect for our annual reunion. This was our 40th year, and the OCC is hands-down the best place for our family to hold it. The memories held by each one of us are kindled each time we turn off County K, and see that gorgeous lake for the first time down the lane through the trees. Thanks again for making the OCC Available to us! Joe

Dear Mary & Shane, I haven't told you how very perfect our week at Grand Escape was again this year. Perfect weather, and so precious that both our "children" and their wives, and ALL the grandchildren could be with us! Again just outstanding fishing. Everything so special. Thank you again, Mary. Have a glorious fall and cozy winter! Your grateful guest, Lynn

After vacationing to the Lodge/Y-Camp in years past, we could not even believe it was the same place! The property also passed my smell test! We had a wonderful time at this accommodating and revitalized retreat. Carol V.

Oh, the fun you missed if you weren’t along for the long weekend of March 9-11 at the Old Chicago House located just outside Hayward, Wisconsin!! Our group arrived late on Friday afternoon. The accommodations were absolutely spectacular......15 bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms - - beds enough to sleep 45 people, and some bedrooms had their own bathroom! A well-appointed kitchen the size of a small gymnasium; kitchen/dining tables enough to seat a small army; several fireplaces; lots of gathering places; a very large room with a pool table, a ping pong table, and a large-screen TV (none of which we used because we were too busy having fun); and a huge, enclosed front porch. And as if all that wasn’t enough, the house sat just a few yards from the shore of Lac Courte Oreilles (French for “Lake Short Ears”, and pronounced “Lake Couderay”). It was amazing and we had a fabulous time!

What a beautiful relaxing anniversary weekend! The house was gorgeous & comfortable. The view from here is amazing! We had lots of fun fishing & sunbathing out on the lake, and cooking a nice meal at the end of the day and watching the sunset from the balcony. We will be back! Thanks for a relaxing time!

We had a fabulous week: lots of fishing, grilling, games, puzzles, pool, dinner at Old Hayward and rented a pontoon boat from Earl's (excellent service and very nice people). The lodge is beautiful and very spacious(and clean). Went into town (Hayward) to visit the shops and purchased some homemade candies. Spent time each day on the lake and our dog Lucy- black lab- was in 7th Heaven. The cheese basket, candies, and coffee were much appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed! The sunset view is fantastic. Our only regret is that the week is ending and we will be returning to reality. Thank you for a wonderful time!
