ESCAPE Classic That Launched ESCAPE Homes Makes Return A Decade Later

Escape Classic – the tiny home design that launched ESCAPE Homes ten years ago – is back in a new and improved design. Tiny home enthusiasts should take note that a limited quantity are available for purchase and delivery in the U.S. and available for vacations or purchase at Canoe Bay ESCAPE Village.

ESCAPE Homes founder, Dan Dobrowolski, first unveiled ESCAPE Classic over a decade ago as a smaller version of the Prairie-style cottages (many designed by Frank Lloyd Wright protege John Rattenbury) at his Four-Star Wisconsin resort, Canoe Bay.

“Guests raved about the clean lines and open floor plans and the tiny home movement was just beginning to take shape, so ESCAPE Classic was born,” says Dobrowolski. “It was an instant hit with more than 25,000 inquiries the first 48 hours and the 400 square-foot cabin constantly sold out when it debuted at Canoe Bay.”

Over time, ESCAPE evolved into designing even smaller, portable versions of the initial prototype – ranging from the 175 square-foot ESCAPE Vista to the 388 square-foot ESCAPE One.

And, now, Dobrowolski returns to his roots with an enhanced 480 square-foot ESCAPE Classic King that measures 12 feet wide by 40 feet long and features a king-sized bedroom suite (up from queen), a larger kitchen, increased storage, redesigned screened porch with glass French doors and all-electric capabilities that align with the company’s sustainable practices – – all for under $120,000.

“It’s perfect timing with the 10th Anniversary of ESCAPE Homes & 30th Anniversary of Canoe Bay to bring back this beloved design,” says Dobrowolski. “Ten years later, customer still ask about ESCAPE Classic. We’re thrilled to re-introduce the it as a full-time residence, vacation home, vacation rental property & more.”

The inaugural Classic King is situated at Canoe Bay ESCAPE Village, a tiny house development located adjacent to Canoe Bay resort on more than 100 acres of rolling mixed hardwood forests with wetlands and two private lakes on the property, Mallard Lake and Lost Lake

Customers have the option to either stay in or purchase the first unit and future units at the Village for personal use. The unit can be used year round, or for potential rental income when not in use by putting the unit in the existing rental program.

A limited quantity of  ESCAPE Classic King tiny homes are also available for sale for delivery to the public.
