Perfect in Every Way
We really enjoyed our stay in this house. It's well-appointed, feels very homey, has a great view, in a great location. The house was spotless and shockingly large for the price. We definitely plan to stay here again.

Enjoyed the Fireplace
This pretty home is in a more residential area with homes closer together than those we have rented in the past. It was cold so not so much an issue since we weren't using porch or deck. Always love the area and small surrounding towns. Would love king beds in two main bedrooms!

Excellent layout for families
There were five of us and each group (my husband and me, my sister and niece, my 91 yr old mother) essentially had a bedroom suite on each floor. We took our two 8 mo old puppies and had lots of room in the loft for their pen with crate inside for them to sleep, and another pen downstairs in the living room. We felt at home, especially enjoying the gas log fireplace on the cold nights. All beds were comfortable. We highly recommend this home. The homes are all close together and parking is tight but worked well for our car and minivan. 👍

Wedding Party
We had a really good time except for the weather. Unfortunately the bride and groom chose all outdoor events and we older folks shivered throughout. Our house was great but for two slips: the toilet tissue holder in the master bathroom fell off the wall, and, we killed several roaches on the kitchen counter and one got away from us and disappeared down the living room register.

Great house not best check in process
I was shocked that they (the management team) made it mandatory that I pay a sizable deposit for property damage that may or may not be refundable when I had already paid for property damage insurance through the rental company when I rented. The house was nice and everything we expected. I just wasn’t expecting that charge which I found out about the day we left, which was refunded after we returned home.

Nice home but no privacy
This is a nice home located in the Laurel Ridge section of Big Canoe. If you are looking for a secluded getaway however this is not your place! The homes are built extremely close together. The noise is not a problem if you are inside with doors and windows closed. However once you are out on your deck or porch you hear it all from your nextdoor neighbors beside you and up and down the hill. We even heard kids playing at the "beach" which we could not see. Apparently the noise has become such a problem that the homeowners have enacted a 10 pm quiet time one must adhere to! Also there is no privacy in these homes if you are on your deck you can wave at several neighbors houses as you see them and they see you. If there are blinds on the porch like this home has you can close them however that defeats the purpose of enjoying the breeze coming in! Also do not forget your bug spray if going outdoors.

Memorial Day Weekend
The property was nice. The only negative thing was the lack of furniture. Not inside but outside on deck and patios. The only furniture downstairs on the covered porch is the swing so my brothers didn't have anywhere to sit to hang out with us. Same thing for upstairs patio. Only had enough seats for 3 people and 2 chairs on the deck. Great views, spacious and private. We had 3 couples 2 babies and our mother with us. The kitchen was stocked to the t! Everything you need for cooking and grilling. Trails are easily accessible for family walks! We would stay again but I would suggest upping the cleaning crew. We spent the first few hours there cleaning the porches. Sweeping, wiping down chairs and tables, removing spider webs and what felt like 10 inches of pollen. Also bring extra towels!! But we do recommend this property. A little cleaning never killed us before so it didn't kill us this time.

Lovely property
Nice furnishings, very comfortable bed, and lots of cookware. Ample room for a large group with spaces for separation. The only criticism was that, other than the screened in porch that overlooked an air conditioner that ran constantly, there was no place for a group larger than 5 to gather. Other than that, lovely property and we enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic week
Wonderful week of vacation. The house is fantastic and served as a great central location to all of Big Canoe's amenities. Master on main, 2 bedrooms on the basement level with one additional bedroom and bath on the top floor. We really enjoyed the screened in porch and spent most of our nights out there. Short distance to the beach club with a pool, rock slide and other watersport activities. You can walk if you are so inclined, but there are a few steep hills. Maybe the most surprising aspect of this house / neighborhood is that the entrance to the jeep trail is at the end of the cul-de-sac. We hiked / mountain biked all the way from the upper falls trail (jeep trail exit) to the house and the trail continues on down to the beach club if you want. Close to the golf club and marina as well. If you want to rent a pontoon boat at the marina, call well in advance as they are booked solid throughout the summer. We will definitely be back. Thanks!
