Wonderful time in Big Canoe

This place was a dream come true and very high up on the list of best VRBO’s we’ve stayed at. It was an outstanding location, beautifully decorated, stocked with everything we needed, and had great TV and internet access. The hosts were very accommodating and took care of us very well!

Spectacular cabin

My girlfriend and I stayed at the nest over the weekend. It was absolutely wonderful. The cabin was so cozy and gorgeous. The view to the lake was fantastic from both the cabin and the hotub. It was just right for the two of us. Perfect for a short little get away from the city. We will definitely be back. Couldn't recommend it more for a wonderful couples retreat.

Awesome couples retreat!

This was honestly the best VRBO we have ever had. The place was cleaner than any other we've been in, very well appointed, and nice in literally every way. The bed was comfortable, the hot tub was fantastic, and the view from the porch was awesome. We saw tons of wildlife and our favorite thing quickly became having our morning coffee and waiting to see what animals passed by. I cant say enough good about this place. The host was a great communicator and very pleasant to deal with.

Great View

Nicely appointed, great view, comfortable bed, mostly quite and peaceful and a real feeling of being in the woods (treetops). The deck furniture was also comfortable once we cleared out the siders. While we didn't try to use the hot tub until our last night there, I would have been disappointed had I known the condition of it. Very dirty and a great number of jet nozzles were missing and when turned on it didn't appear to be working properly. To be fair, we did not report this condition since storms moved in and we still had to pack to leave the next morning. Hopefully the owners will make the necessary repairs and this will be 5 Stars in all of the categories.

This property was amazing! My wife and I celebrated or 20 year anniversary. We loved the seclusion. Everything about this unit was great. It was clean, well stocked with essentials you need, and a few pleasantries! Tracey was great, and easy to work with. This was a total surprise get away for my wife, so it was helpful to have an early arrival option so I could get into the unit prior to me bringing my wife up so I could set up everything just the way I wanted to. We are definitley coming back because it is a great get away to decomoress for a few days. Hopefully, we will play some golf next time. We also enjoyed an anniversary dinner at the clubhouse which was also very good! We highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to just get away and have some great one on one time!

We loved our time at this little nest. Everything we needed was supplied. The only drawback was most surfaces had decorative objects on them so there was not much space for guests to put books etc. The deck furniture was perfect and we enjoyed coffee there every morning.

We loved our stay at The Nest! Beautiful views, accommodations were perfect inside, and we had our anniversary dinner at the clubhouse and the food was delicious! Golf was awesome as well, a little challenging for sure but great. Hosts were very accommodating to my wants and we got early check in as well when most places arent offering that much anymore. Found a cute old cabin on our walk to the lower amd upper falls and just really enjoyed the rest!

About the host

Hosted by Hardie Dawn

Host profile image
Hardie and I first discovered Big Canoe in the summer of 2017 and were amazed with the natural beauty and amenities offered in this luxurious mountain community. We began searching for our perfect mountain retreat and decided the treetopper section of Big Canoe would fit our desires nicely. Fortunately, we found one of the few treetoppers overlooking Lake Petit. It needed work, but we simply couldn't pass up the view. Hardie completely remodeled the cabin himself and bought our vision to life. We have named our cabin "The Nest" which means a comfortable or cozy residence or situation; a retreat, or place of habitual resort. We would love to share our little piece of Big Canoe with you and hope you enjoy this magical place as much as we do.
