This house looks small but it is not small. It really surprises you. It is new, very clean and comfortable in all ways. I liked the fact the car was parked in front and made it so easy to unload/load. The owner was excellent in all ways. We didn't have any problems at all and Allen was great in all communications. I am planning on staying again because it was so pleasant and a nice , nice place to stay.

Girls Get Away

Guest: Paige M. (Alpharetta, GA)
Date of Stay: 03/02/12 Review Submitted: 03/07/12

Big Canoe is a beautiful place to stay! Overall, we were very satisfied with the house. It was extremely clean and pleasant to stay in. Houses are close together ( not detected in angle of photo) in this section of Big Canoe leaving limited parking but worked out ok for my party. Loved the big dining table and large windows in living area. Would have enjoyed a larger tv in the main room. Suggest that instructions for tv be left in a visible place. Had trouble with connectivity for computer use - only available for last hours of our stay. We enjoyed brunch at Lake Sconti clubhouse.

We spent the New Year's weekend at this comfortable Big Canoe home, and I would highly recommend this property to anyone who is thinking about visiting the area. The owner is very easy to communicate with and is responsive to requests and concerns. The house is well-appointed and was a good fit for our group. We especially enjoyed the outdoor living areas. The deck was a great spot for early morning coffee and afternoon happy hour. We look forward to a return visit!

Wonderful Weekend at 7th heaven

Guest: Lisa and Robert (Oldsmar, FL)
Date of Stay: 10/21/11 Review Submitted: 10/26/11

We had a wonderful weekend at Seventh Heaven. The pictures don't do the home justice-it is so comfortable and had everything we needed for a nice weekend away. The views are wonderful and it is so peaceful and relaxing. We'd been traveling for a couple of weeks and it was so nice to be able to cook our meals and enjoy them as if we were at home. If we get back to Big Canoe we would stay here again.

My daughter was married at the Chapel on 9/17! This was a perfect location! So close to the chapel and the Chimneys! We had the bridesmaids luncheon here on Friday! The decor was SO pretty..decorated for fall! I have 4 boys and they loved the pool table in the basement. Plenty of dishes, linens and towels!! Owners allowed for an early check in which was fabulous!! Would love to return and enjoy at our leisure!! Thank you!!!

LUXURY HOUSE AND RESORT

Guest: uktourist (chertsey,surrey,uk)
Date of Stay: 08/24/11 Review Submitted: 08/31/11

The descriptions do not do justice to this luxury house. It has everything you need for a great holiday, wi fi, lots of indoor and outdoor space, screened outdoor space to keep out the mossies in the hot evenings, full kitchen and laundry facilities. Plenty of indoor space and bathrooms. Resort is also brilliant for swimming, canoeing, fishing. What more do you need? Allen is also easy and efficient to deal with Would highly recommend house and resort

An enjoyable home away from home

Guest: Len (Miami, FL)
Date of Stay: 07/01/11 Review Submitted: 08/04/11

The house is extremely comfortable and well maintained, with Master-type bedrooms on all three levels. The view is lovely and it is convenient to almost everything Big Canoe has to offer and is easy to reach. The owner is easy to contact and most helpful.

Having our family together this w/e was wonderful. The house is beautiful, spacious, & well maintained. The terrace level Game/TV Room is artfully decorated.

Fabulous long weekend in the beautiful mountains

Guest: golfers4 (Flowery Branch, GA)
Date of Stay: 05/12/11 Review Submitted: 05/18/11

Our family of 7 spent a long weekend in Big Canoe at "Seventh Heaven." As soon as we walked in the front door we felt like we really were in seventh heaven. The house exceeded our expectations. The house is beautifull decorated and, best of all, immaculately clean! Everything was in perfect order for our stay and within minutes our grown children said that we need to make a return visit. Allen could not have been more communicative and answered my emails within minutes. It is very apparent that he wanted to ensure that we had an ideal stay, which we did! We are looking forward to returning, and highly recommend this property.

My family spent a week at Seventh Heaven in May for my daughters wedding and had a wonderful time. This home was a perfect place for hosting our family and friends before and after the ceremony at The Chimneys at Big Canoe We made several trips back and forth preparing for the wedding and reception, so being so close to the Club House was very convienient. We were surprised at how spacious it was and how clean and nicely decorated. Allen was great to work with and replied immediately to all my emails and our deposit was credited very quickly. We are definitely planning to return and we will definitely stay at this home again. We had a great time and loved this rental!

My now husband and I loved Seventh Heaven! Allen was wonderful to work with and was very responsive and flexible with my needs. We rented the home for our wedding reception and it was a perfect place for hosting our family and friends after the ceremony at The Canoe Lodge. I had a wonderful experience! Thank you for all the extra touches and the terrific communication from the initial research, rental and follow up! We will be in touch for our next vacation to Big Canoe. Mrs. Lauren Phelps

We recently returned from a long weekend at Seventh Heaven and it was just that!! The house is very spacious and well-kept. Location is fantastic as we watched golfers play the 7th hole and a short 3 minute drive to the clubhouse, workout facility, tennis courts and exercise field. We had a blast and will definitely return!

Sheer Perfection

Guest: C-2011 (Atlanta, GA)
Date of Stay: 12/30/10 Review Submitted: 01/06/11

What an amazing way to ring in the New Year. It was just a short drive from Atlanta but felt like we were a world away! The photo in the listing makes your place look smaller than it really is. We were pleasantly surprise how spacious it was. You were a delight to work with and replied immediately to all my emails and our deposit was credited earlier than anticipated. We are definitely planning to return in the Spring or the Fall (or both). The only hesitation we have in recommending your place is that it might be booked for our next visit ;)

In attempt to get away from the FL summer heat, our family rented this home for 3 weeks and had the time of our lives. Allen and Nancy are great to work with. No unexpected "surprises" when we arrived. The house is incredible, clean and has plenty of space for everyone. The home is in a central location close to all the amenities. BIG CANOE is awesome for people of all interests- while we were there we enjoyed great hikes, swimming at both pools, the rockslide, paddle boats, canoes and swimming at the lake. If you like Mexican food, Fuego is the place to go. It is located right out the back gate. If you want to get away from it all but still have a lot to do, I highly recommend this fabulous Big Canoe home.

We loved staying in this beautiful home in Big Canoe! The mountains of north Georgia are beautiful year round, which makes for a peaceful, refreshing getaway. The home is on the golf course, and is very conveniently located to the lakes, fitness club and hiking trails. Every room is beautifully decorated... there's a fireplace...pool table... big comfy beds.... We loved it!!

I've now stayed in your home twice - once in the Spring and once in the Fall. It gets more beautiful and serene each time I'm there. It is like a home away from home. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your home and the wonder of the natural surroundings!

The house was the right choice! It had several bedrooms with lots of options for our family. Everything in the house is very appealing and extremely comfortable. Lots of fun with the pool table. Don't forget to enjoy the mountain air out on the porch and deck. Thanks for the much needed break!

We really enjoyed our stay in this lovely home at Big Canoe. The house is well appointed with nice furnishings and is very peaceful. We loved the view of the golf course, the screened in porch and the decks. The house is in a good location in the Big Canoe area--within a quick drive to the lake, golf club and hiking trails.

Our weekend in Big Canoe was a much needed break from the Atlanta rat race. Your home was beautiful and comfortable. We really enjoyed the trails and scenery around the area. The trees were just beginning to turn the fall colors and there was a little cool nip in the weather. We very much enjoyed our time there. Thanks so much!
