What a great place! Our entire family was here & we all loved it. We especially enjoyed the fact that the house is so roomy & everyone had their own spot to hang out in. We look forward to returning in the spring or summer.

We had a wonderful time staying at TreeHouse Lodge. It was so nice having such a beautiful home for my son and his groomsmen and family to gather in as he prepared for his big day! Our photographer was very happy and got some amazing shots from the decks. Everything was perfect. Thanks again for helping to make my son's wedding weekend so lovely! Dee

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Our annual trip together was great this year because we chose your "Lovely" house. We thought the view breath-taking & the house so comfortable. We'll tell others.

Beautiful home with everything you could need for a fun vacation. We like that we could walk to the pool & beach area. I liked all the porches and having one screened in was great. The layout of the house was so nice with the large bedrooms and bathrooms and the downstairs was perfect for the kids! The owner was very helpful and kept in touch with us and wanted to make sure we were very satisfied. The only thing we did not like was the houses are very close together. We were lucky and did not have anyone next to us during our stay. I would highly recommend this home, it was very clean and decorated nicely! The kids enjoyed the pool, beach and the rock slide. Enjoy!

We rented "Treehouse Lodge" for our 2 daughters and families for a weekend- and it was delightful! It exceeded our expectations, was beautifully decorated, and provided everything they needed. Its location is perfect for utilizing amenities and walking trails. Thank you, Cathy Helms, for having made this a truly memorable time for our family. I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely home to everyone.I give it five stars *****!

We had so much fun for a girls weekend.(5 of us). The owner Cathy was very, very responsive and helpful. She has stocked the house with just everything you would need---very special touches too. It looks exactly like photos. House has plenty of space to "spread out" with 2 living areas and lots of deck and screened poarch space on the 3 levels...so we never felt crowded. House was very convenient to the amenities.Big Canoe has wonderful hiking, golf, tennis, great workout center, beautiful new clubhouse w great brunch/dinner and casual dining too---lots of really good restaurants nearby too. I like the Appalachian Grill right outside the Big Canoe entrance.

What a fabulous home! Five girlfriends -everyone had their own bedroom/sleeping space. The entire "home" had all the personal touches. The view is sensational and all the community amenities are close by. We will return to this home very soon.

If there is anyone looking for the perfect place for a single family, double family, or a full blown reunion STOP because this is the place. We had a family reunion this week and rented Treehouse lodge, Mountain Vista and Eagles Nest and let me tell you it was AWESOME!!!!! From the moment I started planning(1 year ago,these homeowners were there every step of the way. The view from these homes is breathtaking. We had from 2 years of age to 80 and everyone had the time of there life. Not only is the homes outstanding but the staff at big canoe are amazing as well.From senior citizen activities, to kids crafts, fine dining and outside grill tennis,raquetball,swimmimg, fitness etc,etc,etc,this place has it all.Unfortunatly we had the experience with there medical staff as well and they were awesome.One of there lifeguards saved my nephew!!!! This is by far top of the line accomadations for a fraction of the price. Look no further and feel free to call me if I can answer any questions. Book now and be prepared for the best vacation ever!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks Cathy

Once was not enough! We just spent our second weekend at Treehouse and it has become a special place for my husband and I along with three other couples we share vacations with. The atmosphere is peaceful, restful and yet there is plenty to do if you choose. We had enough space for our together times and meals yet privacy and comfort in our own rooms. Again, we will be back!

We enjoyed our stay at your home. The home was immaculate and a perfect size for my family. There were so many fun things to do at Big Canoe - golfing, tennis, swimming and a great place to throw a frisbee. I am counting the days until we can go again!

My parents live in Big Canoe, so when my 3 siblings and our spouses decided to get together for a visit, we picked Treehouse Lodge. What a great choice! Beautiful rooms and views - 4 couples each having our own bedroom and bath - close to the amentities - what a spectacular retreat. Wide open living spaces. Cathy, your home is beautiful and you are a great host - Treehouse Lodge was the backdrop to a family gathering that will be remembered for years to come. thank you!!

Cathy, Thank You for all the little things you did in making my 40th Birthday all the more special. My Girlfriends were thoroughly impressed. Your home is Beautiful! The View is Incredible! And the Golf Course was Awesome! We all had a great time. And thank you especially for the cookies -they came in handy on the golf course. I can't wait to bring my husband and baby! They would have a ball. You're the BEST! Thank you again, Evelyn Patterson

My husband and I stayed at Treehouse Lodge for a weekend in November 2006 to celebrate his birthday. This home is a fabulous retreat and is the perfect combination of beauty and comfort. The home and everything in it was very clean, which we very much appreciated. Cathy’s superb planning, attention to detail, and unexpected personal touches exceeded our expectations and really made our weekend extra special. We will definitely be back!!!

May God bless Cathy and Don Helms for providing such a wonderful place to go for all who choose to take advantage of this Heavenly area. Russ & Lisa Yerton

We had such a great time at your house! It is decorated so beautifully and was so clean! I'm a clean freak and am always so paranoid when staying in a vacation home, but your house was impeccable.The upstairs bedroom is just gorgeous, and was so big! You really should add a picture of that bathroom. It was amazing. Also, we traveled with an infant and the master bedroom was just a wonderful place (because of the sun blocking shades) for him to take his naps. We could get the room almost pitch black in the middle of the day! And of course it helped us to sleep in, which is ideal for a vacation.Also, the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed, even down to cookie sheets and wine glasses. It was just a perfect experience. I’ll definitely be calling you up if we visit Big Canoe next summer.
