About the host
Hosted by andrew greenstein
The Great Escape Lakeside is just one of 3 mega estates.
I created The Ever After Estate for my own family in 2003. We love to travel and are away from home as much as 130-140 nights per year so, late in 2009, I began renting it out during our travels.
Renting Ever After became so successful... It was on HGTV's "Most Outrageous Homes In America..." and I couldn't accommodate everyone who wanted to rent it sooooo we created The Sweet Escape -- a candy themed mansion w. an ice cream pool (hot tub is the 'cherry on top') to have one we could rent out full-time. Sweet Escape was also heavily noticed by national & international media--and became popular quickly.
Our family had always tossed around the idea of creating a game-themed estate home--filled with luxury and over-the-top fun. Our kids were approaching their tween & teen years and I wanted them to witness (and participate in....) how a dream can be taken from mere concept--to tangible reality. So early in 2015-- we set out to make The Great Escape Lakeside possible.. We broke ground in June of that same year..and opened for business in early March of 2016. We've been booked almost non-stop ever since... Now, you can also rent other subsequently designed themed mansions like The Great Escape Parkside or The Lake Louisa Chateau too !

Why they chose this property
It's without a doubt--one of the best and most sought after properties in THE WORLD--and, quite possibly, in the world (said modestly!!)...
Aside from being a gorgeous 13 bedroom lakefront estate on 10 privately gated acres, it has its own $23,000+ commercial LASER MAZE. It has a REAL, commercial grade ESCAPE ROOM GAME. It has a commercial level high speed waterslide, lazy river, and kiddy pool! There's human bowling, human foosball, soccer billiards, giant connect 4, and so much more-- I'm barely scratching the surface! You won't find a rental like this ANYWHERE else...
