Our family had a very memorable time at Big Canoe. It’s a very beautiful place. The host is outstanding and quickly answers questions. The facilities there are excellent. We enjoyed a perfect day on the lake on a pontoon boat. Thanks very much for the experience.

Wonderful! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Bear Wood Cottage in Big Canoe. We appreciate the kind words.
Joy’s home was the perfect location to access all the amenities at Big Canoe (just a walk to the beach area). The home was clean and she was very helpful and prompt in answering all of our questions. Would definitely stay there again.

Thank you so much for the review, and we are thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time! Hope you can come back soon.
Wonderful home for our family over Thanksgiving. Excellent location and the wood-burning fire place made the holiday season come to life…wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Over flow parking next to home was helpful as well, hats off to the owner Joy!

I'm so hapy that you enjoyed your stay, we hope to host you again in the future.
This is our second time staying in this house - it is a great spot for our family, and the owners are very responsive. Our kids love being able to walk down the hill to the beach club, and it is a quick drive to the marina, hiking trails, golf, and the recreation field. We come to Big Canoe every Labor Day, and we'll certainly try to rent this property again.
This was a wonderful house - great location in close proximity to golf, the park, and the marina. The room setup on multiple floors provided nice privacy for 3 different family units, and the house had everything we needed for the long weekend.

We had a great time. Highlight was our hike up to lower falls. Hilly neighborhood, but great house and area. Joy was very easy to work with and kept up needed communication.

Thank you! I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay. We agree, the lower falls are beautiful! Happy New Year!
Our family visits Big Canoe each summer before kids return to school. We need a minimum of 5 bedrooms and this property was more than adequate for our group. Will definitely consider this particular house next year. The location to amenities is excellent. We had a couple of minor details that were taken care of immediately. Thoroughly enjoyed this time.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and we would be thrilled to host you again next year for your annual summer trip. Thank you!
Very nice home and owners great to work with. Everything needed is included.
This is a 4-star rental that could be a 6 for some people but, be aware of the following: steep stairs up & down, only room for 2 cars in driveway, price for lake access is expensive (example parens and 2 kids = close to $100/day). Even with the above flaws, would rent again.

Thanks so much for the review. We are so glad that you and your family enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure to host you all!
We find having the Primary Suite on the main is a big help in avoiding the stairs if necessary, and there is always additional parking around the corner if our guests have more than two cars.
We are so glad that you would visit Bear Wood Cottage again, we would love to host you soon.
This home was absolutely perfect for our family. Christmas! Photos did not do it justice. It is everything you see in pictures and more. Spacious, clean, well appointed, charming and comfortable. Hosts were more than accommodating and incredibly kind, friendly and attentive. So grateful for their hospitality and generosity.

We loved hosting you and your family for the Christmas holiday! We hope you will visit again.
We’ve stayed in Big Canoe before with the family, but this was the best!!! Very spacious, very clean, and location to amenities was great. Different family members could walk to lake/pool whenever they wanted and stay there and walk back whenever they wanted. And go back early evening for another fun time.
Great time. Big thanks to hosts. Very easy to contact with any questions or assistance.
This was our first time visiting Big Canoe and it definitely did not disappoint. The area was a dream and the house was perfect. It was well equipped, extremely clean and in a great location within the neighborhood. We found a perfect little beach on the pond within a very short walking distance. This property exceeded our expectations in every way. I was evenly presently surprised to at there was a crib and a pack and play for my infant daughter already at the house. We can’t wait to come back during the summer!
My large extended family highly enjoyed staying at this home! It is huge and each floor has multiple places to hang out together. The home was clean and had everything we needed stocked in the kitchen to make our stay easy and enjoyable!
The house is in the PERFECT location at Big Canoe to get to the beach club, pool, and lake area. We walked to and from the beach every day with our kids. There was so much to do, so the kids never got bored. The beach area had tons of inflatables, kayaks, paddle boards etc. for the bigger kids. The little kids loved the pool and swimming, and the two rock slides were our favorite part of trip!

We are so glad you enjoyed your time in Big Canoe. We would love to host you again.
6 of us spent the week of Christmas here and it was the perfect place for us. The home was ver nice and had everything we needed. It was spacious which allowed us to plenty of room to spread out. It wasn’t warm enough to use the deck or screened porch but both would be great in the summer. We loved the easy access to hiking trails and other amenities in the community. Amicalola Falls and Dahlonega were good day trips for us, as were the outlet malls in Dawsonville. I would highly recommend this place.
The master bedroom is on main floor. Had to give that room to elderly mother due to 4 other bedrooms on upper and lower levels. Mother could not use stairs. Tall heavy Dresser door in one bedroom downstairs fell out when looking for place to store clothes. No hangers were available for our nice clothes. Other than these few things, we had a wonderful stay and a great time with family.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at our home! The primary bedroom on the main is one of our favorite things about the home. We will check on that dresser door and restock our hangers. We are thrilled that you got to spend time in this lovely peaceful neighborhood and enjoy time with your family.
What a great home! My 2 sisters and our families returned to Big Canoe after visiting the area 35 years ago. We rented a home for each sister, as our children from the earlier visit now had children. The house was so roomy. It was close to the lake area with so much to do! We had a grand time! Some of the other family members visited from their homes nearby (within walking) for a "pasta night" and games of Family Feud.
We had folks from 10 months to 69! Was perfect for all!
Joy was wonderful and had prompt replies to all my questions or concerns! We definitely made a great choice!
