There is a beautiful view as soon as you open the front door and from the deck outside, which gives you a great sunrise experience and sets the tone for an amazing stay. We had a wonderful time at this cabin! The first thing that stood out was how incredibly clean everything was—you can tell a lot of care goes into maintaining the space. The kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans, and all the cooking utensils we needed, which made meals easy and enjoyable.The cabin is located in the beautiful Big Canoe area, and the location is ideal. Being so close to Ellijay, Dahlonega, and Blue Ridge—along with the many North Georgia vineyards—made it perfect for exploring the area while still feeling tucked away in nature.Mark was an outstanding host—extremely attentive, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. The furniture was well kept, the beds were very comfortable, and the cozy fireplace (with a nice supply of firewood) made our stay even better.I can’t stress enough how clean and comfortable this cabin was. We highly recommend staying here and will most definitely be back again.

The kitchen was the best stocked of any rental. The views were amazing. The windows in the kitchen could not be opened and the sills needed cleaning. We did not see any bears?

Very pleased

Our family of 5 was extremely satisfied with our stay at Mark and Laura’s property in Big Canoe. We’ve stayed at many other short term rentals in the past and this one ranks at the top in terms of amenities and host attentiveness. Things like having an abundance of towels, blankets, pillows, sheets, toilet paper, and tissues may sound minor, but we’ve found other places that don’t offer the same level. The kitchen was well equipped four our needs and all appliances worked well We had plenty of how water and the heating system kept us comfortable. Mark and Laura were available by text for advice and checked-in to make sure everything was going well - even offering recommendations for local activities and excursions. We would highly recommend this property and these hosts to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain retreat.

Fantastic property and wonderful hosts. Very thoughtful amenities, many items you don’t expect when travelling in hotels were found in this home. Game room was such a treasure and back patio was a relaxing escape. Thank you for a lovely Thanksgiving stay!
