Wedding Success
Guest: Kathy F

Date of Stay: 05/22/09
Review Submitted: 06/04/09
Just wanted to drop a note to say thank you so much for the wonderful wedding weekend we spent at both Mountain Vista and Treehouse Lodge homes. The houses worked out perfectly for our family members and friends! We had plenty of room for all...and it was so nice that they were located so close together. We, also, loved having the two master bedrooms in Treehouse Lodge. It was the perfect solution for my mother, as she has to use a walker and couldn't have managed the stairs at all. Both homes were absolutely lovely.... Thank you so much for working with us and allowing us the extended stay on Sunday. It really helped us out so much! Even though the weather was a bit less than perfect, our weekend still was! Thanks again for everything!
Owner response:Weddings are very popular in Big Canoe due to its beauty, oustanding facilities and ease of booking large groups in luxury homes to stay the weekend. Mountain Vista Rentals has numerous properties that are close to each other and to the Chapel/Reception areas for the wedding party and out of town guests. We take care of all the details for your lodging, so you can concentrate on whats more important - Your Wedding.

Wonderful Family Getaway

Date of Stay: 06/19/10
Review Submitted: 07/13/10
Grandparents, parents and grandkids had a wonderful time. The layout of Mountain Vista was perfect. Seating areas where we could all dine and visit together and enough areas where you could have some 'me' time as well. Big Canoe amenties were terrific - we made numerous trips down the rock slide and took lots of paddleboat excursions. Both pools were lots of fun for everyone. We did some geocaching in the area and visited the mines in Dahlonega. A wonderful week of 'summer camp.'

Scrapper's Delight
Guest: CaraM

Review Submitted: 02/10/10
Thanks so much for your help with the arrangements for our recent weekend away at Big Canoe. As always, the house at Laurel Ridge is a warm and cozy place for some busy Mommies to get away for a few days of R&R and time to scrapbook. This year we also enjoyed some of the rental extras like the bar soap, hand soap, shampoo, kleenex and other items. These are small touches but, they all add up to a pleasant experience staying in this lovely home. The only down side of our trip is that 2 nights is simply not enough and we need to do this more than once a year! So, we are all looking at our busy schedules to see if we can squeeze another trip into our plans. Again, thanks for all of your help and your warm hospitality on the day of our arrival. It was certainly the perfect weekend to stay inside!

Thank you so much! We truly enjoyed your home. Having a separate floor for each family made it so nice for different children's bedtimes, etc. And you were right about the kitchen being fully stocked -- we prepared full meals every evening and had everything we needed. The high chair and baby gates were put to good use as well. The kids really enjoyed roasting marshmallows over the outside fireplace...well, actually ALL of us enjoyed that! Thanks again for everything. Ginger and Chuck (and family)

Review Submitted: 07/30/09
We plan a family vacation every year for our grandchildren, and children who live all over the country. Our desire is for the grandchildren to get to know each other, and spend a vacation together. We all agreed this home was the best home and location we have ever rented. The home is complete with all you need or want , and the vierws are just beautiful. We loved the fireplace, the screened in porch, the bedrooms, and especially the Family room and computer room. We hiked every day, went golfing, fishing, boating, swimming & grilling! It was a perfect weather week, loved the cool temps. Our son, a chef loved the equiptment in the stocked kitchen. All family agreed, we want to return next year! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Great place to Crop!
Guest: Dawn T.
(Alpharetta, GA)
Date of Stay: 09/26/08
Review Submitted: 04/23/09
This home is perfect for a weekend crop. The family room works great for lots of tables for cropping. We ate out on the screened in porch, so never had to disturb our scrapbooking area. Lots of individual beds and plenty of bathrooms for our big group. I'm a repeat renter. The house has everything you need to feel at home and the owner has been wonderful to work with.
Owner response:Mountain Vista works great for all kinds of mens and womens groups. Here, they used the kitchen area that opens up to a large screened porch - plenty of room. Additionally, the house sleeps up to 13 people and can sleep 10 in their own individual beds. Recent Upgrades include a New 42" LCD TV above the fireplace, a computer installed in the office/loft area, and an IPOD Stereo in the Den.

Lake Michelle Bridge Group
Guest: Karen E.

Date of Stay: 03/06/09
Review Submitted: 03/21/09
Played bridge, laughed, sat around the porch, fireplace and reminisced. We ate wonderful shared food and a Friday Night delicious meal at the Club House. Hiked around the lake and across the bridge. We fels so "at home" here. We have been coming annually to Big Canoe and stayed in 3 different homes but feel we have found our place. We hope to be back in February or March 2010. Your place is so wonderful! It's conducive to friends enjoying a great time together, and very accomodating for a large group of women.

We arrived from all locations for our Family Vacation. It was mid 50's when we arrived and snowing when we left. Enjoyed playing games, Gin Rummy, Apple-to-Apples, Yahtzee and more. Spent time with family and friends, and eating mom's delish food! Thanks so much for a wonderful stay! Your home is so beautiful and perfect for the mountains!

Knit Wit Weekend

Review Submitted: 03/21/09
Knitting weekend for the Knit Wits. Caught up with friends, food, wine and unfinished projects. Temperature was a mild 50-60 degrees, so we sat on the porch and knitted most of the weekend. We had a great time eating, knitting, told inappropriate stories, shared supplement advice, ate grapefruit, talked about pets, ate some more, shared recipes, made future plans and never turned on the TV. We are truely grateful for the group of friends we all have become. Wow - what a beautiful and well accomodating place Mountain Vista is for any size group!
