You Can Rent an Insane Home With Its Own Lazy River and Board Game–Themed Rooms
Orlando draws crowds to Florida all year long with its water parks, roller coasters, and Disney-fied eats. The only thing that might make you forget Mickey is a stone’s throw away? This sprawling 10-acre, 13-bedroom home that hosts a whopping 45 guests. The bedrooms are decked out to look like life-size board games, and the family-friendly amenities rival any resort. Waterslides, laser tag, a Jumanji-themed movie theater...here’s what you’re in for at The Great Escape Estate.
The Rooms
The Great Escape’s 13 bedrooms are decorated to look like a Toys “R” Us (RIP) aisle came to life. Themes include Monopoly, Scrabble, Get a Clue, Pictionary, and Operation, and they’re all interactive in some way or another. Beds vary by room, with kings, queens, twins, and bunks for the kiddos.
The Games
If your favorite kind of vacation is one where you barely sit down, The Great Escape has more than enough activities to keep you occupied. Guests can play giant Connect Four, life-size chess, human foosball, and classics like basketball, tetherball, and volleyball. The house sits on a lake and there are kayaks, canoes, and paddleboats to take out on the water.
The Amenities
Given how many people the house fits, there’s gotta be room to feed everyone. The home has a main kitchen as well as an outdoor kitchen with refrigerators, ovens, grills, and more.
Throughout the property, there’s an arcade with pinball machines, arcade games, and X-Box and Playstation machines plus a karaoke room, two waterslides, and a lazy river. Imagine one of Royal Caribbean’s giant cruise ships but on land.
How to Book
A space as big as this one doesn’t come cheap, so start planning your family reunion/college get-together/work bonding trip now. A night at the estate starts at $1,295 (prices vary on weekends and holidays), with a cleaning fee and tax tacked on as well.
