    This home is EXACTLY as described by the previous renters as well as the home owner. I had the opportunity to rent this home for my family and it was PERFECT. Not like there wasn't a ton to do at Big Canoe already, but the house in itself, served all the entertaining necessary for a small or large family. Ping Pong table, pool table, hot tub, relaxing screen porch, hundreds (and I mean hundreds) of movies to choose from, pin ball... you name it and this house had it. We LOVED this house and will most certainly come back and re-rent. Thank you Mark for your hospitality, and your quick responses to any questions we had... while planning the get away and while we were visiting!

    Our best stay ever in Big Canoe! I can't recommend this house highly enough. The view is amazing - you truly feel like you're in a mountain retreat away from it all. Looking at the moon through the telescope was a fun experience for the whole family. Inside, Mark has gone above and beyond to make his guests feel welcome and pampered. The furnishings and accessories provide all the comforts of home in a luxurious and relaxing environment. The bathrooms are mini spa retreats right down to the soaps. The upstairs media room with the huge TV and 400+ DVDs, Wii console, and games were perfect for downtime fun. We will definitely be back again. Don't hestiate; call Mark today!

    Mark, Here the unpacking, recharging, restocking, washing, etc. will go on for a couple more days, but I must say that the memories made with the Stargazer will last a long time! We had a lovely time relaxing, cooking, watching family DVD’s. Most days we were out and about admiring Gibb’s Gardens or pontoon boating, or golfing, or Sat. evening concert going. But when we did return, we headed for the beautiful deck or a very comfortable mattress to take a snooze. You even made sure that guests are pampered with aromatherapy soap and candles! Thank you very much for a super vacation. Sincerely, Barbara

    This is our second time at Stargazer Lodge and we have loved every second! The kitchen is well stocked with everything that we needed to whip up gourmet meals. Stargazer lodge is 100 times better in person than in the photos. It is truly a luxury rental with a stellar view and great hiking close by. Mark was easy to deal with and very responsive to all of our questions and needs. We shall return.

    We had a great weekend stay at the StarGazer! The house was exactly as pictured on the web site. It was quiet, serene and the perfect getaway from the city - just what we needed! The kitchen had all you needed and the basement had a pool table, ping pong table and a foos ball table! It was relaxing and entertaining all at the same time. The best part was actually looking at the stars and the moon through the telescope! I look forward to returning.

    My family recently had the pleasure of staying at the StarGzer Lodge for 3 nights. the pictures and description on the web were very accurate. the house was clean and well maintained. The rooms were large and the view was exceptionally inviting. We cooked several meals there and found the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. We also ate at the clubhouse one evening and found the food tasty, good service and reasonable prices. My parents enjoyed lounging and reading on the main floor while myself and the kids played pool and ping pong, watched movies in the upstairs media room, took long hikes and went swimming in the lake. The house was conveniently located within Big Canoe yet far enough away from the village to be peaceful, quiet and private. we are already making plans to return. Mark was easy to work with and prompt in answering my emails and any questions I had.

    This is the third time I have stayed at Stargazer and I have loved it each time! Just got back from a "scrapping weekend" with girlfriends and we had such a great time! The house has everything we need and is close to fabulous shopping at the outlets. The host is sweet and knowledgeable about the area and the house is always spotless. We're already planning another trip back:)

    Absolutely loved this house. It was very spacious with plenty of room for everyone to relax and jave fun. The porches were great. The views were fantastic. The beds were so comfortable. Loved having a king sized bed in every bedroom. The home was equipped with everything we needed for cooking dinner both nights. Close to the marina and all the other amenities that Big Canoe has to offer. Will definitely be returning to Stargazer Lodge. Can't wait!

    My first visit to Big Canoe was an amazing experience, just 1.5 hours from Atlanta. Mark at Canoe Classics was friendly, professional and above all honest. Everything he said about the Stargazer Lodge was right on target. I felt spoiled the minute I walked through the front door and the experience just got better and better. Stargazer has a wonderful mix of serene views, luxury and style...wrapped up in quiet comfort. My usual pattern is to get restless after 2-3 days away from home and work, but I wanted to extend my stay at Stargazer. I hope to be calling Mark very soon to book another retreat with Canoe Classics. Five Stars in my book!

    We just completed our stay at the StarGazer Lodge, and it was a GREAT time! In fact, we extended our stay by a day because we just couldn't bring ourselves to leave the beautiful surroundings of Big Canoe and the StarGazer Lodge. My family of 4 stayed with another family of 4, and the adults and children (ages 4, 5, 6 and 7) all loved our trip to Big Canoe.

    Just spent five days scrap booking and relaxing with friends. House is fabulous! A bedroom for each of us and a big table for our scraping. We shopped at the Outlets, ate our meals on the porch and the beds were awesome and I slept like a rock. I've already booked a long weekend with my family for this summer. Can't wait to go back.

    My husband and I got engaged at StarGazer and we think of it as our "special" place. We visit every year and can't say enough great things about the views, serenity, and the accommodations. It's unlike any 'lodge' I've ever been too. The property is extremely comfortable, clean and well decorated...better than your own home if you know what I mean. We can sit for hours on the back deck and watch the stars, listen to the crickets and just relax. You will think at the end of your vacation, "if only we had a couple more days at StarGazer..." I promise. StarGazer is the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of every day life.
