The home and Mountain View was beautiful. The bathrooms were not clean, rings in commode. Hair was found in one bed. Spread in master bedroom had something on it that didn’t appear to be clean and the same with the mattress cover. There were no cleaning supplies so we bought them and cleaned bathrooms. Carpet upstairs heavily stained at top of stairs. Fortunately we brought group games since games were pool table and ping pong. Overall we loved the place except for the cleanliness.

This property is perfectly located in Big Canoe near the incredible amenities offered in the community and offers breathtaking views! The home is beautiful and provides plenty of space for a large family to make memories that last a lifetime! The well-stocked chef’s kitchen, the beautifully updated back deck with fire pit, pool table, ping pong table and foosball table proved that our amazing hosts, Lindsey and Justin, know how to give their guests the very best experiences! Their extra efforts and personal touches along the way made them feel like part of the family!

Quaint and cozy Christmas

This house is perfect for a family get together. We had a group of 12 and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house is beautiful and so quaint and cozy. It made our Christmas trip an overwhelming success. The house was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The beds, towels and linens were clean and comfortable. The location of the house was perfectly situated in the mountains yet only a few minutes for shopping, wineries and many great restaurants. We had a few questions for the hosts and they were responsive within minutes. We will definitely be back and very much looking forward to it.

Christmas meet up

This house was a great house to meet up with the family for Christmas! Great activities downstairs for the kids and people of all ages. The back porch was awesome to sip on your coffee and watch the mountains in the distance as the sun came up. Definitely hope to come back to in the future.0

Amazing Group Getaway

This home was the perfect place for our group of 12 friends over the summer. The home is clean, spacious, and perfectly laid out for large groups. Repeatedly throughout the weekend we comments on how well stocked and appointed the home was, especially the kitchen! They had everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The location is amazing, the view is perfect and yet you can still get to the Big Canoe gate and amenities very quickly. We would absolutely stay again!

Fantastic Holiday Getaway

We had our annual family holiday getaway at this beautiful home we were fortunate to find. Our family has grown so the 6 bed/6 bath was perfect for our large family. All the bedrooms were a good size with space to unpack. The game rooms were put to use in the evening and when it was too cold to hike. The owner was friendly, so accommodating and quick to respond to all our questions and concerns. Highly recommend and would go back, most definitely!

About the host

Hosted by Lindsey Griffin

Host profile image
Hi, we're the Griffins and we purchased this home in May of 2021, and have loved putting our own touches into the home and making it a place that all can enjoy! Thanks for checking it out and we hope you book with us!

Why they chose this property

We love our home, so we may be a bit biased. At the very top of the list are the long-range mountain views. We're not exactly sure how far you can see from our back deck, but we believe it's over 30 miles.
Other great aspects of the home include: 5 minutes from the North Gate, the Pool Table, Ping Pong Table, and Foosball downstairs, the amount of room to spread out and much much more.
