Wilderness Lodge - The perfect getaway home!
Wonderful home in the beautiful Big Canoe mountain resort community. House has a master-on-main with large bathroom and walk-in closet, and two other bedrooms downstairs with their own private bathrooms. Large kitchen and common areas. Ideal for a big family or several couples vacationing together. Located near Big Canoe's north gate; easy access to the resort's amenities. No lake or mountain view from the house, but located in a nice private wooded area. The only (very minor) issue we encountered was we were never emailed the door code for check-in and had to call the management company, and they quickly solved that problem. Be advised that, like many AirBnBs, there were clean-up instructions to follow before departure. Overall an excellent property and an excellent stay; we'd book there again the next time we go to Big Canoe.

Big Canoe Secluded Modern Cabin - Tech Escape
Beautiful quiet wooded setting. Ample room, love the 2 dining areas and porches. Steep paved driveway, but could navigate during the spring and room to turnaround at top. Towels were lush and mattresses were average. Electronics all worked and the house was well stocked with a welcome bag of snacks as well as toiletries. Imagine it would be lovely in the fall as well!

Hot Tub & Putting | Game Room & Fireplaces!
Loved the cabin. Great for a getaway. Had a great time and hopefully will be coming back soon!

The G Bear Getaway in Big Canoe, Georgia
Highly recommend staying at Jose’s place. You will be very happy with the comfortable space and the incredibly peaceful and beautiful setting. The house was well-stocked and had everything we needed. Jose’s communication was perfect and easy.

Peaceful Retreat in Big Canoe
We stayed at Jo Anna’s place in Big Canoe and absolutely loved it! The condo was beautiful, cozy, and exceptionally clean—and trust me, I’m very picky when it comes to where we stay. I booked last minute, and Jo Anna was incredibly accommodating, making everything smooth and easy from start to finish. The pictures online don’t do it justice—the place is much bigger and even more comfortable in person. The beds were super cozy, and everything was set up perfectly for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights was my husband spotting a black bear while driving up the mountain—such an unforgettable moment! We also played golf and grabbed a bite at Duffer’s—my boys devoured the burgers and fries. Everyone we met in Big Canoe was so friendly; we truly didn’t want to leave. Thank you, Jo Anna, for sharing your lovely place with us. We definitely want to come back soon!

Picturesque Retreat Overlooking Lake Petit
Beautiful home and location! Right on the water- super easy to bring the kayaks out. Chris was very responsive- although we had no issues. She checked to make sure we got in ok and then sent instructions/suggestions for the area. This was by far the best home we have stayed in Big Canoe. It was also the cleanest and most stocked rental we have experienced. We will be back!

Wildlight Inn- Big Canoe- Hot Tub- Mountain Views
The house was absolutely stunning! Everything is so nicely put together and super clean! The area is beautiful, quite, and peaceful. I'm already trying to find an excuse to return to Jasper, Georgia. There's so much to do on the property. You truly can make a multi day vacation with the amount of activities located in Big Canoe. Definitely take the time to visit the restaurant! The food was great and everything was super convenient to get to even with detours. The drive can be a little daunting at night as there are lots of turns and twist in the roads, but once you make it to the home, it's ALL worth it! Lindsay welcomed us to her home with clear instruction on what to expect. We had a fantastic time!

Quiet Oasis nestled in the Woods
My stay was wonderful, me and the family really enjoyed the cabin and the pool. We had a cook out with the community, that was nice. The cabin was gorgeous and they had all the essentials, which was perfect. The WiFi was terrible, so no projector outside for us. The rooms need a working tv in every room, that would be great as well. But over all the cabin was amazing and the experience was great. And I almost forgot we got to see a black bear 2 times!!!!

Big Canoe Wonderland Living & an E-Z Fun Getaway!
Terri was a wonderful host. She gave us hiking and restaurant ideas and was accommodating to our 1 year old who can be a handful. I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Big Canoe.
Lake-access cottage rentals

Lake Arrowhead Luxury Lakefront Cottage w/ Hot Tub
A wonderful private getaway tucked away in the mountains right on the lake. Everything you see on the images pretty accurately reflects what you're going to be seeing and expecting at the Luxurious Lake Arrowhead cabin. The drive was a unique one, being an automotive enthusiast the mountainous terrain for the drive in and out of the cabin is a blast. Tyler was an awesome host, kept things very easy for the stay. If you're looking for a fun or quiet getaway, this location can support both with plenty of bedding for a small group to have a wonderful stay.

Unique Lake Lanier Cottage with dock on deep water
We had a great time on our impromptu trip to the lake. The house was clean and the sunsets were beautiful from the dock.

7155 Haw Creek Place, Gainesville, GA 30506
Here’s a suggestion for a five-star review: My family and I had an amazing stay. We evacuated from Hurricane Milton and Spencer was incredibly accommodating. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for us to check in. Spencer was very responsive and quick to answer any questions, making the entire process smooth. The instructions provided were clear and easy to follow, which made check-in and navigating the space a breeze. Highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again.

Refreshing Creekside Getaway!
We had a great time in the riverside cottage. The cottage was clean, the beds were comfortable, the fireplace made cool evening cozy and the kitchen was nice. We loved sitting in the sunroom listening to the water.

Lake Lanier Retreat w/ Boat Dock!
We were in Dawsonville for a wedding, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely home with peaceful surroundings! Everything was spotless, and the welcome snacks were a thoughtful added touch! The screened-in porch was a favorite for morning coffee (and, thanks to the outdoor flatscreen, for nighttime NCAA basketball final four!). We loved having access to the lake with the short stroll through the woods down to the dock. The home is so inviting…we wish we would’ve had more time to just hang out and relax…by the water, on the porch, around the fire pit, or in the comfy indoor spaces!

Lake house / hot tub / dock / pool table / firepit
Our stay at Anya’s was absolutely wonderful! The place was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. Anya is an amazing host—warm, attentive, and thoughtful, making sure we had a seamless experience from start to finish. The location was perfect, and we truly appreciated the attention to detail in every aspect of our stay. We would love to come back and highly recommend Anya’s to anyone looking for a fantastic place to stay!

Clean and extremely functional, this property will be on our list for all of our future getaways.
