Kidnapped?

Me and my family (not my real family I forgot who they are irl), mom, dad, sister who was close to my age, and young brother (abt 7 years old), were on a road trip. We drove through an area that was forest on the right and desert on the left. In the desert part there was a little hotel, and since it was getting dark we decided to stop there. We went inside to check in and were greeted by the owner who looked like Nicolas cage but it wasn't him. Even though the outside looked like a farm house, the inside was huge and looked like a mansion. We checked in, and immediately knew something was wrong because there was no one else there. No guests, staff, no one. Only this man who claimed to own the place. We had second thoughts and told him that we'd actually like to keep driving, but he locked the front doors and insisted that we stay. By then we were all scared and followed him to our room. We went down a flight of stairs, and were presented with a big stone cellar with a bunch of wood squares on the floor labeled "servant's quarters". My mom nervously laughed and said "you're joking right?" But he wasn't joking at all. He opened 3 squares and forced my dad into one of them, my mom into the next, and my sister, brother and I into the third. He laughed and went upstairs. I forget what happened while we were there and how long we were there. After a while I decided to take one of the stones out of the wall. I did and there was a door behind it. Me and my sister started clearing away stones until the door was revealed. It was locked, but after what looked like years of being hidden behind stone, it was damaged and eroded so we all kicked it until it fell down. We then walked through a little hallway that we assumed was a servant passage, found a flight of stairs and walked up. We were behind a painting, and when we looked through a little hole in it, he was right across the room. We waited for him to leave, then opened the door and ran out. I'd still had my phone the entire time, but it never had service so I couldn't call 911. But as soon as we left we got service and I called while we hid in the forest part. The lady said that people were on the way, and they got there. They knocked on the door and were invited inside by the man. Then we heard gunshots and then silence. My brother ran across the street and went back inside before we could stop him bc he was concerned and wanted to see if they were okay. The door opened and the man snatched him inside. My sister tried to run after my brother but I stopped her bc I knew the man wouldn't kill him and we were better off being out and trying to rescue everyone. I called 911 again, and then the man went outside and saw us, so we started running. I tried to tell the lady what was wrong but I ended up hanging up bc we had to run away from the man. Eventually we lost him and came out on the other side of the forest. We went into a little coffee shop and sat down. I called 911 again and told them everything and that the man was extremely dangerous, to use caution, and that he wasn't home rn bc he was looking for us. Some frat dudes sitting next to us heard the whole thing and offered to help. We said yes and invited them to sit with us. We got up to order with them when the man walked in. We told them and they gave us their hats so he wouldn't recognize us. We lowered them over our faces when we got our food and walked right past him and he didn't recognize us. We sat down and I told my sister that we should speak in a British accent to make us seem less like ourselves, then we decided speaking full on french was a better idea. We did, and I got a call that everyone had been rescued and to lead the man back if we had him in our sights. We did, so we went up to him and directly talked to him. I forget what we said but it made him grab us and run back to his house, where he was arrested. Then I woke up. This is the first dream I've had that was from a 1st person view rather than a 3rd person view.
