I rented this house when I had a meeting at Big Canoe, it was beautiful and big and nicely furnished, we loved it, it is close enough to the gates to be easy for people not familiar with driving on curvy roads, it worked out great for my group

Our entire experience was excellent! The owners process for renting the cabin was thoughtful and stress-free. We have rented other properties using HomeAway and this was by far the best. The on-line description was exactly what we found and more. The hiking trails were magnificent!! The property was clean and well-maintained. The owners provided us with information on activities in the area, phoned to make sure that we arrived and all was well, and even complimented us on how well we left the property. I have recommended "Almost Heaven" to others and have already started planning our next trip!

Fantastic Family Reunion

Our week was great especially since our three grown kids each had a separate bed & bath. Our 4 grand kids had a wonderful time playing at the beach & the three separate floors provided wonderful separation & privacy. The house was well appointed with TVs in each bedroom plus common areas of each floor. The hot tub was the focal point for the adults. Tom, you & Judi have a wonderful home that we know you are proud of & everyone said that the had such a wonderful time that they want to come back again. There are so many things to do within short driving, Georgia Aquarium in Atlanta, Dahlonega with its quaint shops in the square, a state park near with a waterfall, & easy driving to Dawsonville to the Mall for the ladies. For those considering a home, you definitely should seriously consider this one. It met all our needs & expectations.

We had 7 children ages 9-15 and 5 adults at Almost Heaven for a week in August, 2010. The house was perfect for our group. We felt very safe letting the children go exploring and swimming as a group. The house was very convenient to the lake and had a great layout so that they could entertain themselves, including the hot tub, foosball table and game/TV room. Big Canoe was charming and beautiful as well. The people were very friendly. We love it!

We had the most amazing time at Big Canoe! The house was beautiful, well decorated and had a very well stocked kitchen. We grilled out every night and played board games with the family. We had 10 people staying together and never felt on top of each other. There was plenty of space to spread out (i.e. the little kids down stairs watching a movie - adults upstairs playing cards and enjoying beverages). Comfortable beds too! The short walk to the beach made it easy for everyone to go swimming on their own schedule. The water slide and the hiking trials just added to our fun. Tom was very helpful and ready to answer any questions. We will definetly go back. Maybe a girls trip will be in the future!?!

Great Weekend Getaway

My family and I had a great weekend in Big Canoe. This is my second time at "Almost Heaven". The first time was for a weekend away with the girls. This time I brought the whole family. The pictures do not do it justice. It is conveniently located. Just a quick walk down the path on hill and we were at the beach. The kids (and adults) had a blast going down the rock slide, playing volleyball, and going on numerous paddle boat and canoe rides. The house is nicely decorated and fully stocked with anything you could need. The owners are so helpful and very accommodating. I can't say enough good things about our experience. Highly recommended!

What a beautiful home with a prime location overlooking the beach! Our children, ages 5 and 11 enjoyed every minute of our vacation. We grilled out each night, swam in the pool, slid down the rock slide and enjoyed lots of quality time together. We didn't turn the tv on all week! The house is great...fully stocked, tastefully decorated and in a PRIME location close to all amenities in Big Canoe. We will be back! Thanks Tom and Judi for sharing your home with us and for being so easy to work with. We would highly recommend this home to any and all who are looking for a great getaway! Fesperman family

There were 4 of us who spent the weekend at Almost Heaven and it lived up to its name. Everything was perfect. Beautiful house, comfortable beds, roomy, and a gorgeous setting. Tom was so nice and wanted to make sure everything was ok. It was such a treat to be able to relax in such a wonderful place. We all live only about 45 minutes from Big Canoe and yet it seemed that we were a million miles away. We have alreay booked a week this summer.
