The Best VRBO Ever!
My wife and I are frequent VRBO users and most of the places we stay are really really nice, but Sweet Retreat is the crown jewel. This was the best VRBO property we have ever stayed and Russell and Paula were the absolute best hosts. The home was immaculate, the decor was amazing, the views were great, and all of the small touches (i.e. snacks on the bar, nice quality kitchen appliances, games, etc.) made such an impression and made the stay so much more enjoyable. Additionally, Russell and Paula were amazing hosts. They provided clear directions, more information than we needed, and were very responsive. If I could give them six stars I would. We are very much looking forward to returning to Sweet Retreat at some point in the future.

Together at Christmas 🎄❤️
This property is amazing! It exceeded my expectations! The host has thought of everything you might possibly need. The cabin was extremely clean and comfortable. I’ve used VRBO many times and this has been my best experience by far! If we are able to go back to Big Canoe….. this is where we will stay. Thank you guys for giving us such a great time!

Updated Authenticity
Sweet Retreat is a beautifully maintained cabin that feels connected to its mountain cabin past with updated appliances, fixtures, and finishes. We loved sitting on the deck around the fire table at night, surrounded by fall color, and watching sunsets and moonrise. Great location for exploring N. GA. Very clean and comfortable. The hosts were very helpful and responsive. Highly recommend Sweet Retreat. Our family group gathered from FL, AL, and WA for the first time together since before COVID. It was perfect. We'll be back.

WONDERFUL!!!
We had several curve balls thrown our direction resulting from the aftereffects of severe weather the night before our stay. Thanks to Russell and Paula working with us our stay was very enjoyable. We had a terrific long weekend with our grandchildren. The house was very clean, well equipped and every item in working order. The owners exceeded our expectations with this property, but mostly it was their attention to details and accessibility that made our stay at Big Canoe so relaxing.
