We had a wedding in Ball Ground and spent 3 nights at Big Canoe. 9 people stayed (2 couples and 5 adult children) and everyone had a comfortable bed to sleep in. Enter at kitchen, dining, living room level. Also on entry level is 1/2 bath, King Bedroom with on-suite and screen balcony and open-air balcony access. Downstairs is a recreation room with 2 bedrooms (queen/king), laundry room and shared bathroom. From downstairs access to screened in balcony with 2 person hot tub and ping pong table (enjoyed playing). Upstairs was a queen bedroom a spacious open air loft with 2 twin beds and a shared bathroom. Overall the house was well suited for my sister’s and my family to spend quality time together. The location was an 8000 acre gated community. It has lots of windy roads (well-maintained) and because there is at least 1 entry/exit that only authorized personnel can access, on more than one occasion our gps took us out of our way so be mindful of this. The house is located at the top of a steep hill and there is limited yard access for a dog but we managed. We had 3 cars so one parked in overflow parking which was not a problem but we did have to do some shuttling. The only activity we did within the gated community was hiking and I was impressed with how well the trails were maintained.

This cabin was perfect for our family weekend stay for jeepfest. We enjoyed it!

Jessica - Posted: 9/1/2024

We stayed in Big Canoe once before, high on top of one of the mountains. This home still has very nice views, but was much more convenient to the Big Canoe amenities and for other activities outside of Big Canoe. The home is lovely, and very large. Perfect for a large group or family. Access to the Service Road leading to the Jeep Trail, or the Lake Trail is literally at the end of the street. The Racquet Club is just down the hill. The hot tub was wonderful at the end of each day, and we enjoyed the ping pong table. Lots of games for families available, and many TVs for movies. A nice visitors booklet with suggested hikes and activities. Really loved our stay in this home.

The house was great for our wedding weekend stay perfect location for us thank you so much for providing such a great home for all of us perfect for a party of 11.

Fantastic stay in all regards. Walkable to pool/lake area for kids. Dog friendly. Very comfortable. Management team very responsive and engaging. You will love this location, amenities, chill atmosphere. Have stayed in other properties they have and always professional and proactive. Would love to see the sofa facing the tv, fire and window instead of kitchen. Don't forget to bring your coffee.

We stayed with our family of 6 and had an amazing time. The house was beautiful and perfect for our trip.

Good

Douglas - Posted: 8/19/2024

I do wish they advised about having to drive to "all" the amentities and the dates of availabilty. You have to drive to hike, the playground, water. The roadways are hilly and curvy so walking or biking is impossible. No yard for kids to play in. I also wish the dates were clear when the beach rentals start and end. Having to go to another site and dig for more details wasn't made clear.

Dawn F. - Posted: 7/31/2024

Thank you for your kind words! This beautiful mountain community does not have yards for play in with the houses in a natural setting, but the community offers several play areas for children with fun things to do which can make for a memorable time. We will look at adding the link for the activities to the listing! Dates and information often changes so the website is the best place to look, and we appreciate your suggestion. :) We appreciate you! :)

Lovely property that had everything we needed. The Beach Club/Wellness Center was a 2 minute drive away, so it was very convenient for our needs. We would definitely stay here again.

Great experience. This rental home had a nice homey feel and was very clean. The location was much nicer than expected. Our family is very into nature and the outdoors so this was perfect. The response time was a little slower than previous experiences, but very courteous and helpful when they got back to us. (4 out of 5 on that) I will use Mountain Home rentals again and will be back.

Julie - Posted: 6/17/2024

We have family that live in Big Canoe and absolutely love it there. The house was perfect for our family to gather for dinners and to just hang out. I will definitely rent this home again!!

Donna - Posted: 6/9/2024

This property was the perfect place to anchor our Big Canoe visit. It is convenient to everything, and was spacious enough to accomodate our little ones and extended family. It was clean and had everything that we needed.

Cathy - Posted: 5/11/2024

definately a place I will stay at again

Charles - Posted: 5/5/2024

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! We visit Big Canoe a lot, and have rented many places over the years. This house was perfect for 2 families, perfectly situated on the street, and very close (walkable even) to most of the amenities that we love there: walking track, tennis, pickle ball, the clubhouse and the beachfront. We will come back!

Amy - Posted: 4/1/2024

Incredible Airbnb. Great house, so much to do at Big Canoe, golf, tennis , pickleball, hiking, recreation center. Our family loved it. Everything was perfect. Clear instructions for checking in, activities, directions. Any questions were answered immediately. Would absolutely go back!!

Great home, spacious for a family. Clean. Hot tub was a plus. We enjoyed our stay in Big Canoe very much!

Mollie - Posted: 5/7/2023

Perfect home for our bridal party to stay in. Plenty of rooms and beds for everyone. Our only struggle was having two parking spaces and nowhere else to park. Street parking is not allowed in the neighborhood. Other than that we enjoyed our stay and had plenty of space!

Camille - Posted: 4/22/2023

Thank you for your kind words and staying with us. Best wishes and every possible blessing for your new marriage. :) (Note: additional parking may be found possible in lot at end of street and around corner at Chapel overflow lot if ever needed)

Plenty of room for us as well as our adult kids. We had to be organized about parking, but the house and surroundings are fab!

Angela - Posted: 3/21/2023

We had a wonderful stay at the Mountain home! Our family of 7 had plenty of space to spread out and the scenery is gorgeous.
Not all of the kitchen outlets work so check the others before you think the coffee maker doesn’t work.
We would definitely stay there again.

Emily - Posted: 11/22/2022

Our stay was awesome. The house is exactly as described. Easy check in, great guest book. Space is nicely decorated, provides for both gathering and separation with the two family rooms and loft area. It was also very clean. Would definitely rent again .

Mary - Posted: 11/6/2022

We enjoyed our stay here very much. We loved being in the heart of BC and being able to bring our dog. The home was lovely and perfect for our family and group of visitors.

Jill H. - Posted: 7/22/2022

We enjoyed our stay in Big Canoe! We hiked, visited the dog parks, played bocce, and went to the driving range. The house is just as described: spacious and comfortable with an amazing view from the deck!

Elizabeth T. - Posted: 5/26/2022

They have a great concierge that was able to help us with our random needs and was in very good communication.

Lashundria O. - Posted: 4/25/2022

Host was very accommodating! Easy communication and awesome house

A A. - Posted: 4/3/2022

The house is exactly as pictured and described. Very comfortably fit our party of 5 adults, 2 kids and 2 dogs. The host was very kind, upfront about a few updates (no ping pong table), and extremely responsive (water was shut off when we arrived and they immediately came to turn it on). They also gave us a great dinner recommendation (go to Sourwood!). Location is very central and convenient to the amenities of Big Canoe, and the house has a beautiful view out the back porch.

Jean C. - Posted: 3/17/2022

Thank you Jean for your comments and it was pleasure hosting you and your lovely family. Update: new ping pong table has arrived.

Absolutely Beautiful!!! Great place for a large family gathering.

Amanda R. - Posted: 11/11/2021

We had a wonderful time for our family’s long weekend getaway. The house is beautiful with so much room and amazing views (spectacular sunrise!) The two porches provided coverage on the day it rained and outside fresh air on the sunshine days. I was grateful for the welcome book and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Loved the jacuzzi! Great location! Although we had easy access if we wanted to dine out, we cooked all our meals and sat around the dining table together. The place and location is perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery or hiking nearby trails or visiting the dog park, wellness center, pool or beach just a quick drive up the road. We are already planning our next visit to gather our family. Highly recommend!!!

During our short stay for a family wedding we hiked, played ping pong, and enjoyed the fall tree colors. This is an amazing resort. We will be returning.

RoyW - Posted: 10/26/2021

This was a great house to stay in! I would absolutely recommend this!

Nicholas - Posted: 10/18/2021

Very well designed, furnished, and equipped home in a nice neighborhood of Big Canoe.

John N. - Posted: 8/11/2021

Loved the location and layout of the house. My kids loved the ping pong table and the hot tub. There were a few minor issues like a Paddle or two looked warped, master bedroom on main blinds wouldn't pull down and curtain rod kept falling down, also the upstairs shower doesn't have a switch/lever so it turns into a shower even though there is a shower head, also majority of mugs were chipped and some leaked from the bottom, maybe from previous renters. Other than that the place was great. My husband said it was his favorite house he has rented in Big Canoe. We all loved it. Would definitely stay again.

Thaveshni H. - Posted: 7/9/2021

Great location. Some visible wear and tear here and there. The clothes dryer did not work properly but we didn’t really need to use it. Someone from housekeeping came to help out and that was much appreciated. Very peaceful surroundings. Especially enjoyed the hiking trails and marina area!

Joy C. - Posted: 6/21/2021

House is accurate description and Mountain Home rentals was perfect on all the process and details. Close to all the amenities- there is a proper trail at the end of laurel ridge to lake dishoon. The houses are close on laure ridge but adequate privacy and fantastic sunrise view from Porch. House itself was clean, spacious and comfortable. Games provided downstairs, ping pong table and hot tub were very nice for us all.

I took my daughter and 8 friends to Sharptop for the weekend to celebrate her 18th birthday. It was perfect (except porch light was not working and we arrived after dark - but no problem really. Oh and one of the guest's names was missing from the list so caused a little delay at the gate). The home is so well stocked. Th hot tub was ready to go and was used constantly by our crowd. The house was set up perfectly for them all to separate and calm quiet down to rest at night. We loved the porches and the view was magnificent. We spent the day hiking on Saturday, using the book that the owners provided to get information about which hikes at Big Canoe would work. I actually called the front gate multiple times for directions and they were amazing also. Thank you for a restful and fun weekend! They are already planning another trip for all of us in March.

Mary Pat H. - Posted: 11/12/2020

Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to write your nice review. We are sorry about the light that we will repair. Please do come back again.

This was a perfect setup for our group of 2 families, both with small children under 2. There was plenty of space and privacy for everyone, and lots of places to relax and hang out. The house was well equipped, and for what we didn't bring from home, there was a grocery store and Ace Hardware within a quick drive from the front gate. Speaking of, the house was incredibly close to all of the Big Canoe amenities, and easy to find from the main gate. In such a big community, it was a perfect location for us and still had great views and privacy. If you want to have a fire, I recommend bringing a couple starter logs! One suggestion for the property management would be to add a few serving platters/bowls to the kitchen since we didn't find any, and perhaps some new ping pong balls (ours were all dented or flat) and beach towels for the hot tub. This house also had a regular coffee pot and Keurig (I don't recall seeing the Keurig noted on the listing, so you might want to bring coffee pods if that is your preferred way to make coffee!). Overall, it was a great stay, and we'd love to come back again in the future.

Jessica R. - Posted: 10/19/2020

Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to write a nice detailed review. We will get some serving bowls and trays, hot tub towels, and new ping pong balls. Please come back again.

Sharp Top made our time at Big Canoe really enjoyable. My husband and I and our 3 adult children were able to have our privacy in the house, as there are spacious bedrooms and bathrooms on three levels. When we wanted to be together for games or talking, the dining and living areas, as well as the screened porches and deck, provided lots of space. Within the screened porches on the lower level are a hot tub and ping pong table. The deck on the main level has a grill and table and 4 chairs, while the main level screened porch has two comfortable chairs. The homes in the neighborhood are built on small, hillside lots so do not have areas for outside play or running about. The home was clean and well stocked with linens and towels. We were able to prepare several meals with the pots and pans and dishes available. However, there were only 4 coffee mugs. While the home is clean, be aware that since this home sits in nature, we did spot several "palmetto bugs" inside. Big Canoe offers much to do. But, after Labor Day, the beach at the nearby lake does close. However, you can still go to the marina to rent kayaks or paddleboards. We golfed and played pickelball. Look online to learn the fees for all amenities. They do add up. Hiking is free and there are many trails, including one that is about a 10 minute walk from the house at the end of the neighborhood in which the house sits. The hike to the Lower and Upper Falls is enjoyable and provides woodsy scenery. The house is very close to the tennis courts, chapel, workout center, and beach at the lake. But, since the roads are narrow and windy, so not safe for walking, you do have to drive about 3 minutes to reach those amenities. We enjoyed dinner outside at the Veranda restaurant overlooking the lake and the golf course. The view is picturesque and the food was well prepared and reasonably priced. We were happy to see that Big Canoe is taking Covid precautions and that masks are required when in public areas. All employees with whom we came in contact were masked.

The property was comfortable and spacious. It had a great layout for multiple families. We loved the neighborhood and enjoyed hiking and use of the lakes. We were disappointed that we had no internet or TV upon arrival. The property management office and ISP came the next day to setup internet and Rokus which were not yet connected. This was an issue because I had work to do that night. Other than this, we had a great time.

The house was great for two families to enjoy a four day stay. Big Canoe has wonderful hiking trails and amenities as well. The house was very comfortable, well furnished and has everything you might need. The hot tub and ping pong table were a hit! The only issue we had was not receiving the check in procedures, but when I called the owner they were given by phone. We had no trouble getting into the home. I was shocked by the extra fees when booking this property, so look for that when you book on Home Away. I've booked several properties on HA and never had to pay a separate fee. Other things to consider- there is no trash pick up or can at the house. Per Big Canoe policy, you must drive your trash to the north gate which is about a 10/15 minute drive from the house. That was inconvenient, but not a huge deal. Also, if you plan to bring dogs (the house is great for pets), you should know that there is only a steep side yard at the top of the hill for them to go to the bathroom. Overall, great property and stay!

Tara S. - Posted: 1/7/2020

Thank you very much for taking the time to give our house such a nice review. Big Canoe cannot have trash cans or garbage pick up because of the mountain landscapes and wild animals including bears. Please come back again.
