Great Location in Big Canoe
Easily accommodates 10 family members, would not recommend 12 unless you are bringing your own linens and air mattress. Big Canoe is a beautiful quiet neighborhood. The home is large and nicely furnished. Feedback was provided to the rental company and we have confidence they will make a few easy changes to ensure the next families stay is much more comfortable.

Perfect Mountain Weekend
There’s nothing like kicking off a new year with a friends gathering to plan our upcoming year. When I saw online the downstairs conference table I knew this vacation rental was perfect for the six of us ladies. We called the gathering our Mentoring Capstone to discuss the previous year and plan for the next. The rental was beautifully updated and spacious enough for each of us to have our privacy. We have already recommended the rental to others so they, too, can enjoy this mountain home.

Amazing Stay!
We had an unforgettable experience this trip! The house was big enough for everyone. Even on a rainy day when we laid low, we all had our own space and didn't get bored and feel on top of each other! The scenery was beautiful, the house was clean, and even though we didn't use the amenities we saw everything the development had to offer and we are going to look into taking another trip in a warmer season to explore the area again!

It’s definitely a check off my bucket list. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing. The scenery was breathtaking. The house was comfortably satisfying. Enough room for every guest and even visitors. The stores were conveniently close, especially Walmart. The beds were great. The kids enjoyed the swimming pool and other amenities. Thank you for a wonderful family getaway in the mountains. I will most definitely be back.

Family Summer Retreat
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the McDowell property! We were looking for a reasonably price place that was an hour drive away and could comfortably accommodate 10 people and we found it. The house felt like a home away from home. It was very clean, nicely decorated and well stocked with everything that we needed from towels, extra linen, kitchen utensils, dishes and pots/pans for cooking. We spent time in the large family room downstairs watching movies and a few hours on the screened porch reminiscing about childhood memories. Big Canoe has a great fitness facility, lakes, swimming pools and wildlife (we saw several deer). We grilled on the gas grill and created great new memories for our family. My family really wanted to rent a pontoon but we waited too late to make our reservation. Be sure to book in advance if you are visiting during the summer weekends as reservations fill quickly. Lynn honored our last minute request for a late checkout since there was not a rental on the day we left. My family was so grateful as it allowed us time to have breakfast together before checkout. Booking the McDowell property and check-in was so easy. Lynn was very responsive and answered all of my questions. We loved everything about our experience and definitely would return to this property.
