About this property

Mountain Getaway Nestled In The Foothills of The Blue Ridge Mountains.

The Bearfeet Retreat treetopper is located in the beautiful planned community of Big Canoe. Bearfeet Retreat has so much to offer from the great hiking trails that wind through creeks and waterfalls, to its three lakes. Once you’re done enjoying the outdoors come back to the comforts of a fully furnished home. Bearfeet Retreat offers two bedrooms, two full baths, and a sleeper sofa and can comfortably sleep 6 people. If cooking is your thing then help yourself the fully furnished kitchen and the outdoor gas grill. The house offers a great wrap around deck that is great for cookouts, relaxing, and your morning coffee while enjoying all of nature’s beauty and peacefulness.

Big Canoe offers a beautifully renovated clubhouse with stunning mountain and lake views — the perfect place to enjoy craft cocktails and exquisite cuisine, open to all property owners and their guests.

While at Bearfeet Retreat you’ll find two fully furnished bedrooms. The master bedroom is fitted with a comfortable queen size bed, full closet, and a work / vanity area. Also located in the master bedroom is a full bath with a Japanese soaking tub and separate shower area. The second bedroom provides a full king-sized bed that you’ll have no problem sinking into after an enjoyable day in Big Canoe. Not tired just yet, relax in the main room that is surrounded by celling to floor windows that look out onto the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains with Lake Sconti at its feet. Or shut the blinds and wrap up in a blanket and take a nap in either of the two comfortable reclining chairs or stretch out on the comfy sofa. The main room features a 43” HD SmartTV (Netflix, Hulu, etc) with basic cable, and wireless capabilities. Transform the sofa into a queen size sleeper sofa once your guests are ready to call it a night.

Big Canoe is a premier mountain community, conveniently located just one hour north of Atlanta, Georgia and metro area airports. Big Canoe is situated in a gated, resort like setting that includes 8,000+ acres of pristine woodlands, meadows, lakes and streams, and resort style amenities.

Big canoe offers championship golf courses, outdoor and two indoor tennis courts, ten pickleball courts and a fitness center with an indoor swimming pool. Take advantage of the three pristine mountain lakes, Lake Petit, Lake Sconti, and Lake Disharoon. Lake Petite features a full marina with Pontoon Boats, Jon Boats, Kayaks, and Paddle Boards available for rental. If fishing is your thing then check out Lake Petit’s 111 acres of open water that offers some of the best fishing Georgia has to offer. Lake Petit’s 100-foot water is known for its abundance of Rainbow Trout with the average trout running about 2lbs. Bass, Bluegill, Crappie, and Brim are also known to swim the waters of Lake Petit and Lake Sconti. Need to take a dip? Lake Disharoon features a fun sandy beach that also has an 110,000-gallon free-form outdoor pool that overlooks the lake. Don’t worry there is plenty of more fun to be had at the rock slides or at the Wildcat Recreation Center that also has a 104,000-gallon pool and kiddie pool. In need of an adventure try out the twenty plus miles of hiking trails that roll through creeks, waterfalls, and all of nature’s beauty. Just a short distance from Big Canoe is Amicalola Falls State Park which features an 829-acre state park home to the 729ft falls. Also located in Big canoe is a jeep trail that allows you to explore Big Canoe in a different way while in your 4WD vehicle. You’ll pass through creeks, old cabins and some great spots to have a picnic. Or join into the Open Play Pickleball offered several days a week.

One of the many great things about Big Canoe is its connection to the wildlife that also lives inside this peaceful community. Don’t be surprised to see Deer, Turkeys, Birds of all Variety, and yes Bears. The Black Bear is a long-time resident of Big Canoe and one of our most prevalent forms of wildlife, and the inspiration of our homes name.

The most important thing is to relax and enjoy all that Bearfeet Retreat and Big Canoe has to offer. Please do not hesitate to contact the property owners with any questions about the property, or Big Canoe. We are here to make your stay relaxing, stress free, and enjoyable.

Our family had a great stay! The house is cozy and well-stocked. The beds were so comfortable and the air conditioning worked very well. The owners were so helpful before we arrived in helping us plan where to eat and what to do while we stayed, and during our stay, they were very responsive if we had any questions or concerns. We would definitely stay here again.

Darling Tree Topper

This darling little tree topper was just perfect for my friend and me. It was centrally located in Big Canoe, it was sparklingly clean, and it was decorated very tastefully. The furnishings were attractive and comfortable, including the mattresses, and we had everything we could ever need. We loved our time there!

We loved this chalet!

What a cute place this is! I love the upgrades to the home while keeping the originality. Super hot water, comfy bed, beautiful area- we really enjoyed it here! Several extra touches that made our stay wonderful such as a guidebook to the area, plenty of towels and washcloths, and things you don’t think of like extra tissue or salt and pepper. Perfect getaway for the two of us, but enough room for a small family too!

Wonderful Stay at Bearfeet Retreat

This is my third stay at Bearfeet Retreat and my fondness for this treehouse cabin only grows larger. The interior décor is inviting and friendly with many small touches that say “Welcome”. I spent countless hours on the deck reading and soaking up the beauty. It is truly a place to recharge and find inner peace again… plus just have a lot of fun using the Big Canoe amenities and going on local hikes and eating at the various restaurants in the area. Thank you for creating such a wonderful "home away from home".

Change of scenery

This place is gorgeous! Everything was clean and had all the comforts of home, without the traffic and noise. We loved the privacy of the rental, even though we had neighbors we rarely saw them. Check in and out was a breeze and Phillip was quick to respond to any questions we had. Also a nice surprise, as we were celebrating a birthday, there was a nice bottle of champagne as a welcome! We will be back for sure! We loved Big Canoe and all the beauty it had to offer.

We had an awesome weekend away with our Grandson. The cabin was perfect for three 3 of us.

The property was very clean. Everything we needed was there including a welcome gift of delicious cinnamon rolls and even a little candy gift for our Grandson. We had a question about the unit and the property manager immediately responded and took care of our request. All in all it was an awesome weekend! There was so much to do at Big Canoe. We couldn't do all we wanted in two days, so we'll be back!

In the treetop canopy

Nice setting in the trees in Big Canoe. This place was just big enough for two couples and grandbaby. Enjoyed breakfast outside on deck. This community is so big , you need more than two days to look around. Our family did a boat ride, played pickle ball and hiked to the lower falls. We ate dinner at Home Restaurant just outside Big Canoe. Weather was pleasantly cool and nice. Altogether a nice weekend visit in the North Georgia hills!!!

Perfect Getaway

This was the perfect escape for the two of us. Originally we planned on some friends joining us but they couldn’t make it. The property was an amazing escape from the hustle and bustle of life. So great that two weeks later we still talk about it and wanting to return just to relax from the hustle and bustle. The host was extremely attentive leading up to our arrival and we had no need to contact them once we arrived. We miss the chili that was served at the club house as well. I would highly recommend this place!

Fall getaway in rustic cabin

My wife and adult son stayed here for three nights at the end of October. Big Canoe is a well-kept upscale resort community with lots of amenities. The unit was in a cluster of similarly built units but each had its own space on the slope of a wooded hill. It was comfortable and well outfitted including a propane fire "pit" - we made smores - and grill. The hiking - Amicolola Falls - and fishing - Lake Petit - in the community was great. One downside was seasonal hours for restaurants - in fall/winter, plan drive or cooking inside, which was fine.

Nana- Grandson Road Trip

This was my second visit to Bearfeet Retreat. This time I brought my ten-year-old grandson with me for our first Nana-Grandson Road Trip. He loved the Treehouse and the setting…. And thought it was super cool. For me, the personal touches give this cabin a home away from home feel. We had everything we needed (and more) … from small toiletries to the “Welcome to the Cabin” blueberry muffins. It is obvious that our hosts go the extra mile to make certain their guests have a top-rate experience. Thank you for helping me create a very special memory for my grandson. I am coming back in August by myself to have some inspirational quiet time and I am counting the days until my return.
