King Bed, Arcade, Hot Tub, Amazing Views
We had a wonderful stay and Chris was very helpful and accommodating. He worked to make our stay perfect for our family. The view from the deck was stunning and we even saw a mama bear with 2 cubs. The house and community offered a wide variety of activities and experiences and my adult children said they would be happy to come back sometime. It was just what our family needed.

Hidden Haven - Couples Retreat
What can I say, if you’re lucky enough to run across Hidden Haven on Airbnb do not hesitate to book it. Words and pictures do not do it justice; it is everything and then some. From the cozy bed and furniture to the screened patio area and different spots throughout the property to just relax, it is magical. The top deck with the pool, hot tub and summer kitchen is great, especially the hot tub. The deck below is beautiful to just sit and listen to nature or some music while the fire burns, or take a walk. Inside is the perfect size, with everything you need to cook, relax and have fun with your love. Connect to the Apple TV and play some music on a sweet speaker setup. We didn’t want to leave and I’m sure we will be back, it was that great. Everything is clean and well taken care of. You can tell the owners spent a lot of time and thought in designing and creating a truly majestic retreat, no detail is overlooked. If you’re looking for a getaway this is the place to stay.

Amazing Mountain View & Cabin Retreat - Big Canoe
This house was amazing! Beyond our expectations. Every detail had been thought of. The family loved the billiard table and there was so much room everyone was able to have their own private space. The sheets and towels were top of the line and matched everything else in the house. The kitchen had every appliance you could think of. We will definitely come back and refer our friends.

Private Luxury Escape | Dahlonega, Hot Tub, Trails
Julie couldn’t have been more hospitable! She showed us around and made sure we knew how everything worked. There was even a surprise treat waiting for us to celebrate our anniversary. The house was simply stunning and perfect! It’s a must for anyone looking to relax and reconnect. We’re already booking our next stay.

Tranquil cottage on rushing Yellow Creek
The cottage and scenery are stunningly beautiful. It's cozy, quiet and clean. We enjoyed our weekend away. Thanks again for everything.

Cloud 9
The views make this place incredible! The house is older and has mostly new furniture, linens, and is very well stocked. The kitchen and bathrooms reminded us of childhood in the 70s and 80s. I highly recommend this as an awesome and affordable getaway.

Peaceful Mountain Retreat. 8,000 acres.
The host Kenny was amazing. His cabin accommodated my family of 5 needs in space, location, bedrooms and baths. The scenery in this community and around this cabin was fantastic. Especially seeing deer everywhere. Big Canoe as a community is phenomenal and very family orientated. Lots to do . Can’t wait to plan another vacation here.

Fore Seasons in Big Canoe
We spent 5 weeks at this cozy cabin with our 3 young children while we were selling our own house in town, and we truly felt right at home. We only had one minor issue that was fixed immediately. The hosts were all super kind and responsive. We love Big Canoe and Trevor’s cabin is a gem. It’s deep in Big Canoe, but that means zero traffic noise! So incredibly peaceful, we didn’t want to leave.
Your guide to Big Canoe
Welcome to Big Canoe
This 8,000-acre private development in North Georgia attracts those looking to get active in the great outdoors without having to sacrifice the comfort and amenities of a gated community. In addition to the 10-court tennis complex and 27-hole championship golf course, there are three man-made lakes, so you can spend the morning casting for crappie on Lake Sconti, the afternoon sunning yourself on the sandy shores of Lake Disharoon, and the evening enjoying a sunset cruise on Lake Petit. You might spot a bald eagle or even a black bear while hiking the 20 miles of fern-lined trails that meander past waterfalls and Native American rock mounds. Venture beyond the gates and you'll find yourself surrounded by a more untamed wilderness: nearly two million acres of protected state and federal land, including the Chattahoochee National Forest and the mythic Appalachian Trail, plus the quaint mountain towns of Dahlonega, Ellijay, and Blue Ridge.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Big Canoe
Big Canoe is generally a year-round destination, attracting swimmers and boaters in the summer and golfers in the winter, when the courses are typically open, barring snow. The community sits at an elevation of 3,200 feet, leaving it cooler and less humid in the summer than Atlanta, but not quite lofty enough to be hit by major winter weather. In the cooler months, it’s wise to pack layers, as evenings can get chilly at this altitude. Spring and fall are ideal times to experience the local flora in all its glory: daffodils bloom in March, and by mid-October the autumn leaves begin to put on their show. Fall is also a great time to catch harvest season in the nearby wine country, and take in annual events like the Georgia Marble Festival. (Georgia marble has been used in the Lincoln Memorial, the U.S. Supreme Court, and Arlington National Cemetery.)
Top things to do in Big Canoe
Amicalola Falls State Park
Just 20 minutes from Big Canoe, Amicalola (a Cherokee word meaning “tumbling waters”) is Georgia’s tallest waterfall, with a cascade of more than 700 feet. The park also offers activities like ziplining and miles of hiking trails, including one that leads to Springer Mountain, where the 2,193-mile Appalachian Trail ends.
Gibbs Gardens
This botanical marvel 15 minutes south of Big Canoe claims the country’s largest Japanese garden, filled with flowering cherry trees and weeping willows. Between babbling brooks, idyllic footbridges, and pink and purple crape myrtle suspended over the landscape, the garden is different at every visit. Millions of white, yellow, orange, and cream-colored daffodils bloom in spring; daylilies and roses take center stage in the summer, and more than 200 varieties of Japanese maple show off their vivid colors in the fall. Note that it’s closed in winter.
Blue Ridge Scenic Railway
There’s something timeless about watching the falling leaves in autumn from aboard an antique railcar. The Blue Ridge Scenic Railway offers a four-hour round-trip train ride through North Georgia and its charming mountain towns. The train departs from a historic 1905 train depot in downtown Blue Ridge (about a 45-minute drive from Big Canoe), whose restaurants, shops, and breweries are worth exploring on their own.
