A must stay if you’re in DL!
This house was absolutely the cutest! It was so close to the lake and restaurants for our group and was the perfect size for our group of 5! Chris is such an attentive host and responds so quickly if you ever need him and is one of the best hosts I’ve ever worked with! 10/10 would stay here again if I’m needing a place to stay in Detroit Lakes!

This was my second stay at this VRBO and again the owners, Chris and Kensie were great. Their home is beautiful, immaculate and easy to check in. The Pavilion, the lake, restaurants, many shops and clinic/hospital are all within walking distance. I highly recommend this VRBO!!

Exceeded our expectations
The house was perfect for our family of 5. The pull out bed was perfect for our son with a disability and we appreciated having everything he needed on the main level. The hosts really go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable as possible. We appreciated the “little things,” laundry soap, shampoo, etc; Would definitely stay again and share with friends and family.

Great Weekend Getaway
My friend and I stayed at this property over the weekend and surprisingly were able to stay within a 2-block radius the entire time. In one direction you have the lake, beach, and bars/restaurants. In the other direction, you have shops, a cafe, co-op, bookstore, brewery, and restaurants. The house was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. For two women, we felt safe the entire time and had a wonderful stay.

Wonderful Girls Weekend at Escape on Lake!
My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our recent weekend stay at Escape on Lake. We found the home very clean, comfortable and well stocked. The location was perfect for walks down by the lake and very close to downtown for shopping and restaurants. The host was very responsive when a small issue popped up while we were there. Don't hesitate to book this place for your next stay in Detroit Lakes!
