About this property

Adventures at Big Canoe

Adventures at Big Canoe, located near the north gate, is a short walk or drive to the Wildcat pool and trail. This secluded five-bedroom, three-bath home at the end of Yanoo Trace cul-de-sac offers ample parking. Spread out in the upstairs great room or the expansive downstairs recreation room. The newly renovated kitchen features a gas stove and beautiful counter seating. Downstairs, a conference room with an antique table seats 8-10, perfect for business meetings or gaming.

The front entrance opens to a great room with a flat-screen TV, gas fireplace, fully furnished kitchen, and a dining room seating 6-8. The main floor includes three bedrooms: a master with a queen bed, walk-in shower, and tub; and two guest bedrooms with queen beds sharing a bath with a tub/shower. A screened-in porch with new furniture and a large deck with patio dining furniture and a propane gas grill are off the great room. Downstairs, find a large recreation room with a flat-screen Smart TV, gas fireplace, game table, and two additional bedrooms (one queen, one with two twin beds) sharing a remodeled bath with a walk-in shower. Each bedroom has a TV.

The conference room or gaming room seats 8-10 at an antique table. The home's new landscaping enhances the mountain escape feel. Adjacent to hiking trails and a 5–10-minute walk to the Wildcat Pool area, this home is ideal for large families, groups, or business retreats. Enjoy a peaceful getaway at Big Canoe!

THE AREA:
Big Canoe is an 8,000-acre wildlife gated community in the hardwood forest of the Blue Ridge Mountains just north of Atlanta, offering over twenty-four miles of maintained hiking trails and plenty of wildlife including deer, black bears, and turkey. With seven mountains and five lakes, the community has a beautiful backdrop for its three championship golf courses, fourteen tennis courts, three swimming pools (one Big indoor), swimming lake (with beach, paddle boats, canoes, & paddle boards), stunning mountain lake (with marina, fishing & rental pontoon boats) and first-class wellness center and basketball court. As a renter, you have access to all of the Big Canoe amenities paid directly for each amenity. I'm sorry, but we do not offer any passes with the rental. We are more than happy to offer our recommendations about the local area and answer any questions you have about the home or the community. You can reach us through your booking conversation thread, or you can speak to our 24/7 Guest Experience Department.

Christmas in Big Canoe

My family of 6 enjoyed 3 nights over Christmas at McDowell Hideaway. We found it to be a spacious, well equipped, quiet and comfortable location. It's close proximity to the North Gate made it easy and quick to get to. There are many outdoor activities available in Big Canoe. We especially enjoyed the hiking trails. We would consider a return visit to Big Canoe and McDowel Hideaway.

McDowell house Getaway

I took my daughters to the McDowell home and we had a blast! It is quiet and private yet close to many fun activities! It's cozy feel felt like we were in another world and the perfect way to enjoy some relaxation and quality family time! It is also spacious so I look forward to planning a girls trip for some fun bonding time! I can't wait!

The property was beautiful and well appointed. It was so peaceful to wake up and open the blinds to what was outside. It has most of what anyone would need for a nice getaway vacation. The start up kits provided helped out a lot too. Thank you for posting accurate information. You get exactly as noted. We will book again if in this area. Ps. Great for hiking and very close to Amicaloa Falls.

Beautiful home

Our group of 9 adults enjoyed our stay. We liked being close to the North Gate, with easy in and out. We enjoyed the trails that were easily accessed near the house. The antiques that decorate the home are lovely. One of the neighbors pointed out some baby bears hanging out up in the tall trees! I recommend the Clubhouse restaurant. It was a beautiful view of the lake as we sat out on the covered porch, and the food was very good.

We had an unforgettable experience this trip! The house was big enough for everyone. Even on a rainy day when we laid low, we all had our own space and didn't get bored and feel on top of each other! The scenery was beautiful, the house was clean, and even though we didn't use the amenities we saw everything the development had to offer and we are going to look into taking another trip in a warmer season to explore the area again!

Great Location in Big Canoe

Easily accommodates 10 family members, would not recommend 12 unless you are bringing your own linens and air mattress. Big Canoe is a beautiful quiet neighborhood. The home is large and nicely furnished. Feedback was provided to the rental company and we have confidence they will make a few easy changes to ensure the next families stay is much more comfortable.

Thank you for staying with us! This lovely home can host 10 overnight guests. This guest contacted us -twice- before coming and asked about bringing 12 guests. *She was told -both- times that this home is set up to host 10 overnight guests, and that 2 extra guests could come (such as children that sleep with their parents) as the house is only set up with sleeping arrangements for 10 guests.* When the guest arrived, she messaged us that she needed extra bed linens and asked for 6. When we were not able to satisfy this request, guest became angry. After checkout, guest messaged us that the house would be more comfortable if it had linens for blowup mattresses. We tried to be clear with the guest and she left the above review when we told her before she booked that the house only had sleeping arrangements for 10 guests. We appreciate you Mena and all our beloved guests- and we are grateful for each of you! :)

It’s definitely a check off my bucket list. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing. The scenery was breathtaking. The house was comfortably satisfying. Enough room for every guest and even visitors.

Perfect Mountain Weekend

There’s nothing like kicking off a new year with a friends gathering to plan our upcoming year. When I saw online the downstairs conference table I knew this vacation rental was perfect for the six of us ladies. We called the gathering our Mentoring Capstone to discuss the previous year and plan for the next. The rental was beautifully updated and spacious enough for each of us to have our privacy. We have already recommended the rental to others so they, too, can enjoy this mountain home.
