This home was absolutely gorgeous! Beautifully decorated. Very clean. They thought of everything! It was more beautiful in person then the pictures and the pictures were gorgeous! Our host was the best! We will definitely come back!
This is a lovely house, one of the nice vacation rentals we’ve been to. The hosts do not cut corners with making sure their guests are comfortable and well taken care of. My family of 5 had space to spread out but also to watch movies and play games together. We also cooked and ate in every night. Even though we visited during a cold winter week, we were still able to take some short hikes/nature walks in the Big Canoe area and enjoyed a day trip to Dahlonega (about 50 mins away). I would love to come back to experience the area during different seasons.
We had the most wonderful weekend getaway at this beautiful VRBO home in Big Canoe. We were impressed by how immaculately clean and inviting the space was. The décor is tasteful and cozy, creating a relaxing atmosphere that made us feel instantly at home.The hosts have truly thought of everything. There was a charming coffee and tea bar, a great selection of family games, a dedicated card/game table, and even a beach bag stocked with towels for lake or pool outings. The plush bathrobes were such a luxurious touch, and the spacious layout gave everyone room to unwind comfortably.We spent a lovely day at the clubhouse, pool, and lake area, which added to the peaceful vibe of the weekend. We can't recommend it highly enough and would absolutely stay here again!
Our host , Stephanie, was amazing !! Her home is one of our favorites ! Her attention to detail was evident once we arrived ! She anticipated every need from coffee pods to an electric kettle with every imaginable type of tea and coffee ! Proper China tea cups ( the perfect touch for those who enjoy a “ cuppa !” ) The kitchen is a chef’s paradise! Everything you could possibly need and then some ! A truly wonderful and first class home away from home ! Would highly recommend to all who love the extras and enjoy the finer things in a home ! Thank you Steph for being an amazing host ! Cheers
