The scenic views and private, modern luxury cabin were exceptional. Living in the Pacific Northwest, I’m no stranger to spectacular skies, but nothing compares to the brilliance of the stars on our first night there, unbelievably bright, impossibly beautiful, and absolutely breathtaking. Every detail came together to create the perfect couples getaway.

Awesome view from every window and the porch of the lake and mountains. Very clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Our only downside was that we only had 1 night! Communication was fast and clear. The kitchen had everything we needed and wasn't lacking anything despite it being a small footprint.

We loved our stay at The Nest! Beautiful views, accommodations were perfect inside, and we had our anniversary dinner at the clubhouse and the food was delicious! Golf was awesome as well, a little challenging for sure but great. Hosts were very accommodating to my wants and we got early check in as well when most places arent offering that much anymore. Found a cute old cabin on our walk to the lower amd upper falls and just really enjoyed the rest!

We loved our time at this little nest. Everything we needed was supplied. The only drawback was most surfaces had decorative objects on them so there was not much space for guests to put books etc. The deck furniture was perfect and we enjoyed coffee there every morning.

About the host

Hosted by Hardie Dawn

Host profile image
Hardie and I first discovered Big Canoe in the summer of 2017 and were amazed with the natural beauty and amenities offered in this luxurious mountain community. We began searching for our perfect mountain retreat and decided the treetopper section of Big Canoe would fit our desires nicely. Fortunately, we found one of the few treetoppers overlooking Lake Petit. It needed work, but we simply couldn't pass up the view. Hardie completely remodeled the cabin himself and bought our vision to life. We have named our cabin "The Nest" which means a comfortable or cozy residence or situation; a retreat, or place of habitual resort. We would love to share our little piece of Big Canoe with you and hope you enjoy this magical place as much as we do.
