Fantastic property and wonderful hosts. Very thoughtful amenities, many items you don’t expect when travelling in hotels were found in this home. Game room was such a treasure and back patio was a relaxing escape. Thank you for a lovely Thanksgiving stay!

Beautiful home, beautiful views, and great hosts.

Had an awesome time with our kids at Mark & Laura's place. The place was clean, located not too far from a few of the best restaurants in the neighborhood, and the views were breathtaking. Our kids asked if we could go back several times since we left.

This place is calling your name.

Our family of 4 adults and 2 children stayed here for 3 nights. The house is immaculate and very well maintained. Besides the lovely views, there are two spacious decks and a comfortable screened porch. We especially enjoyed grilling and "outside dining". The owner was very conscientious, touching base with us upon arrival and departure. We also loved the living room design.

Beautiful, comfortable, friendly

This is not the typical rental property. This felt like renting your close friend's vacation home who happens to have excellent taste for architecture, furnishings, decorations and appreciation for nature. We enjoyed the beautiful house, the lakes and walking in the many trails around Big Canoe. Mark and Laura were most accommodating to our booking changes (we were avoiding hurricane Irma). Thanks for making us feel at home
