Just a little more than an hour north of Atlanta, Big Canoe is an oasis of relaxation and recreation set in one of the most beautiful places imaginable.
Quiet waterfall on one of Big Canoe's many trails
From daybreak to gorgeous sunset, Nature colors everyday life at Big Canoe. 30% of the total 8,000 acres are set aside as usable green space in this gorgeous mountaintop retreat. Big Canoe has miles of beautiful walking trails, three mountain lakes, many streams and waterfalls, golf (voted one of 20 best courses in Georgia), tennis, two outdoor pools, a sandy beach, and a well-appointed fitness center with an olympic-sized indoor pool. As you can tell, Big Canoe is for those that want quiet and those that want plenty of activity and those that want a little of both!

Our Home
Located on Toland Mountain, on the northwest side of Big Canoe, our home is new and beautifully appointed, with long eastern views providing beautiful morning sunrises to start your day. With 4 bedrooms, including a master on the main and another master on the terrace level, and 3 1/2 baths we can accommodate a cozy, romantic long weekend for two or two or three families and their children. In total our home has 2 King, 1 Queen, and 4 twin bunk beds easily sleeping 10 – 12 people. The main level offers an open, exposed-beam vaulted ceiling and a fanstastic full wall of windows with views out to the mountains and valleys of Big Canoe. You will love relaxing on the screened-in deck plus have the pleasure of a large deck on the main and another on the terrace level where sun, cool moutain breezes and comfortable evenings together over meals, tea or drinks can be enjoyed by you and your guests. Our kitchen is fully modern and equipped where you will find everything you need to create meals that complement your stay.

Arrangements & Rates
Our home is not a high volume rental property. We mainly own it to enjoy ourselves, with family and with close friends, and to leave as a legacy for our children to enjoy when they are grown and have families of their own. We make it available on a select basis to people we know well or through referrals from family and close friends. If you stay in our home, you can rest assurred that it will be a unique and personal experience — like staying in someone’s home, or as if you owned the home yourself, rather than an over-worn rental cottage or a standardized resort hotel.
We of course expect just two things from our guests. One that you enjoy yourselves and make yourself at home and that you let us know if there is anything we can to make your stay better in any way. Two, that you treat our home as if indeed it was yours. We do not allow smoking or pets. We ask that you leave everything as you found it for our next guests to enjoy as much as you did. Of course, accidents and spills happen, and we simply ask that you alert us to anything that needs extra care or cleaning after you leave.
Our home is large but we do not want to discourage couples or a small family from enjoying a stay in Big Canoe. So, our pricing is based on occupancy (and of course the season). Click here to see our rate schedule.
