Vacation rentals with a kayak in Forsyth County

Great, cozy spot with an awesome deck. Clean, recently updated interior. Ellen was a great host — very helpful and went above and beyond multiple times! The best. Recommend staying here for sure!

The house is peaceful and comfortable, and it’s close to numerous stores so you can get whatever you may need. We didn’t use the kayaks on the dock, but it was nice to have the option to use them if we had wanted to. If you take the walk down the stretch of stairs to the dock, you’ll find that it’s the only dock in the little alcove, which makes it feel pretty secluded. Finally, the internet speed is really great if you need to do some work, play games, etc. Maureen was also very helpful, communicative, and accommodating to our individual situation.

What an amazing home on the lakefront! Gorgeous views of the lake with multiple places to gather outside and take it all in. Besides spending time on the dock, we spent most of our time in the screened in "4 seasons" room enjoying coffee in the morning, meals throughout the day, cocktails at sunset, and playing games. Everything about our stay was a 5 star experience from the time we checked in until we left. Katie left clear instructions on how to check in along with some recommendations for the area. She was quick in resonding to inquiries and made us feel at home. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking meals. The beds were extremely comfortable and the linens were of high quality. The ping pong table was a hit along with the kayaks on the dock. All were used frequently. It was an idyllic location and the perfect family getaway for our long weekend at the lake!

Your home is wonderfully appointed...you thought of everything! Clean and comfortable, and the porch fireplace was so relaxing to come back to each evening. Thank you for a lovely stay during our daughter's wedding week!

We had the pleasure of staying at Dan's house and it was an exceptional experience. One of the highlights was definitely enjoying the lake, which provided a serene and beautiful setting perfect for relaxation and outdoor activities. The house itself was incredibly comfortable, with a perfect screened-in porch that became our favorite spot to unwind. The host, Dan, was very responsive and maintained great communication throughout our stay, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Overall, I would rate my experience a solid 5 stars. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable getaway. Future visitors can look forward to a cozy welcoming home, beautiful lake views, and outstanding host responsiveness.

Such a relaxing getaway. Gorgeous views and a peaceful community. So much to do within Big Canoe or you can just relax out on the porch. Super close to a grocery store and restaurants. The place looks even better in person. I was obsessed with the master bathroom. 10/10 would recommend and will be coming back for future vacations.

This trip was a surprise for my boyfriend's birthday, and exceeded my expectations. We had a great time! One of the best experiences we've had so far. We loved the lake in the backyard. He fished morning, afternoon and night and caught many nice size fish. The pool table was a great addition, after the sun went down. We actually were able to relax and enjoy a quiet weekend, fishing, playing pool, and watching movies as planned and expected. Our hostess was the sweetest. We really enjoyed ourselves and definitely want to come back. Everything was great.

Great place to rent we will definitely look to rent again.

We had a great time on our impromptu trip to the lake. The house was clean and the sunsets were beautiful from the dock.

We had a lovely stay. The cottage is tucked into its wooded lot and feels like a private retreat. Between relaxing on the dock, or napping in the screened pavilion, or exploring on kayaks there was something for our entire family to enjoy across the three generations on our trip.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Zoe's house. The house was close to Lake Lanier Olympic Park and Laurel Park, and not far from the downtown. Zoe's artwork, furnishings, sheets, towels and candles really set the home apart from other places at which I have stayed. We look forward to our next stay.

Beautiful home! Susan is awesome and communication was incredible. She really made our stressful wedding weekend easier and I truly appreciate her going the extra mile to assist with our special accommodation needs.

This was our second stay at the Architect’s Cottage. It was as peaceful and calm this time as before. The deck and lake are our favorite things but inside the house is great too: clean and cozy and beautifully appointed with unique furnishings, art and lighting. Thank you, Jennifer for making this available again for us.

Great get-away for a family! Lots to do on the property, you can fish, swing, look for salamanders in the creek and look at the waterfall. Sitting by the firepit watching the river go by was relaxing.

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The price was excellent for the amenities provided, and the location worked out perfectly for us. The host was incredibly kind, helpful, and responsive to all our messages, which made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We would definitely book this place again and will be recommending it to our family and friends. Highly recommend!

My family really enjoyed our stay at Lake House. The house is adorable, kitchen is so nice, love the counter tops, love the names for each room, love the playroom upstairs. It was too cold for the outside patio, but it was so pretty on the sunny days. Everyone loved the game room. We loved the short walk to the dock and enjoyed kayaking every day. Little islands are 15 min away kayaking, park is 10 min kayaking, beautiful outdoors experience. My family really enjoyed firepit outside under the stars/ or decorative lights. Master bedroom was very spacious, bed was very comfortable. House had everything we needed. We hope to come back soon. Thank you

Chris was a delightful host. Kind, responsive and helpful! The home was super clean and well appointed. We so enjoyed the amazing views and the hot tub and our grand children loved playing “corn bag” as they called it. There are some steep stairs to the basement recreation area but they have taken great care to have handles where needed and reminders to watch your step. I appreciated all the instruction qr codes and little printed framed signs to help guests. We look forward to returning.

The cabin was even better in person, Donna went above and beyond and made us feel so welcomed. The walk around the neighborhood was beautiful and the neighbors were all very friendly. There is a nice view of the river and the atmosphere was so cozy and peaceful. We will be bookmarking for future visits for sure!

My family and I had a most relaxing, peaceful long weekend in Marty and Mike’s home in Lake Canoe. Everything was as described when we placed our reservation. We loved the house and will certainly rent again at some point in the future if the occasion arises.

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.

Great location/house, host very helpful and responsive! Take advantage of the Lake and provided equipment.

Susan’s place is a cozy getaway surrounded by nature. This snazzy A-frame home felt warm and comforting as soon as we got in. The hot tub and doggy-friendliness were huge parts of our selection. Key aspects of the home were drinking coffee on both upper and lower deck porches, overlooking the woods, the hot tub of course, and snuggling up on the couch, watching tv at night with a bottle of wine, purchased from the nearby vineyards. Highly recommend!

This was a very nice place. My children had a wonderful time engaged in all the games they had. The space is lovely and accommodating and we will certainly return if in the area.

We had an amazing family trip!! The cabin was absolutely gorgeous and so cozy!! The views were stunning!! What a beautiful and relaxing place! They thought of every detail to make our stay absolutely perfect!! We definitely plan to go back!!
