The well maintained hiking trails lead to waterfalls, Indian trail tree markers, historic moonshine stills and cabins dating back to the early 1800’s. During the spring, wildflowers and Rhododendron fill the forest. During the fall, the forest floor is carpeted with crunchy leaves and falling acorns. The smells and sounds are invigorating hiking in Georgia."

Great stay. Only comment is there a strong odor inside the cabin but it didn’t affect our stay. Very cutely decorated. Great communication and easy stay.
The Bee's Knees was in a great location in Big Canoe -- right around the corner from the Jeep trail, near the large playground and walking track, near the pools -- it felt centrally located- just a quick drive to everything in the community. This place had a perfect set up for a family of 4 -- it's well appointed, the beds and pillows are quality, the bathrooms are updated (there's a jetted tub in the master -- which I normally would not utilize, but everything was so clean it was easy to try), and the kitchen was the perfect space to whip up a quick meal. This little place is so cozy and inviting, and on top of it all, there are views to of the lake on the backside of the deck where there is seating set up. We loved it and will be back!
The host was phenomenal! The space was lovely. The entire cabin was so cozy and had everything we needed. It was a perfect place to stay for the weekend!
This adorable cabin was exactly what we needed. We travel all over the Appalachian states to watch our daughter's collegiate lacrosse games and dread the hotel stays. This was a solid 30 minutes from the field, but oh so worth it!It is very cozy and welcoming cabin in the most amazing setting. The walking trails are all over with ranging levels of difficulty. The deck in the perfect place to sit and drink coffee and wstch the sunrise. Its a very peaceful place to unwind. It has everything you'd need in the kitchen, extra blankets to snuggle on the sofa, plenty of fresh towels, soft bedding and ceiling fans in every room (a must have in our family). We didn't have alot of extra time on our trip for the outdoor activities but we got a couple good hikes in, they do have walking sticks which i wish we'd have taken in our hikes, lol. We would absolutely come back to stay.
We come to this little place every year and every year we are so glad we did!! The home is perfectly cozy with plenty of room and comfortable spaces! The hosts are always so helpful and responsive!
The Bees Knees was the perfect place for a fabulous mountain getaway! The property is beautiful, and the house is nicely furnished, very clean, and well-maintained. The hosts were very friendly and provided everything we needed for an effortless and relaxing vacation. There is so much to do in the area. I highly recommend The Bee Knees!
We loved our stay at the Beesknees. Cool experience and beautiful views on the wrap around porch. Nicely decorated. Lots of things to do and see in the community.
