Bee’s Knees at Big Canoe is a 2 bedroom / 2 bath treetopper cottage located in the beautiful Big Canoe gated community. The master suite has a private bath with a jetted-air soaking tub and a queen size bed. You will find yourself cozy and wanting to be lazy as you look out the floor to ceiling windows. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a roll away folding bed is available if needed. The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need to prepare meals, and a gas grill will allow you to prepare the fish you caught in Lake Pettit the same day. Wifi is available with two smart TV’s, and smart locks give you easy access to the cottage. Laundry room is available for use and located downstairs. The Bee’s Knees is the perfect getaway for couples or small families of four or five. Come and experience outdoor living with indoor comforts.

Our outdoor living includes multiple places to escape and soak in the great outdoors surrounded by beautiful trees, wildlife, and seasonal views of Lake Pettit and Lake Disharoon. Do you want to plan a hike and a picnic? We have a picnic basket and blanket (located downstairs) available for use!

The Big Canoe gated community offers, first and foremost, tranquility! In this tranquil setting you can do as much or as little to make your stay what you desire in this 8000 acres community. Amenities include golf courses, tennis and pickleball courts, swimming club, a fitness center, lakes and beaches, boat rentals, a rock slide, hiking trails, play fields, parks, children’s play areas, nature preserves and more! (Some amenities, including swim club, are additional fees) 2015 Bliss Awards - Big Canoe named Best Hiking Community of the Year "Big Canoe has 22 miles of genuine hiking trails, not double purpose community sidewalks. 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."

Big Canoe is located only 15 miles from Amicalola Falls State Park, 17 miles from Jasper and 27 miles from the historic town of Dahlonega. Check out the Big Canoe Community and more about the area at the Big Canoe website!

Appreciated the light colored decor. I have advanced macular degeneration, so the decor was perfect for me. Our adult daughter helped us with all the remotes. She wants to return with her husband and explore more of the trails. Loved the sectional and all the textures. Would have preferred fewerSmall decor items and pillows. Almost felt like an uninvited guest, as there was little opportunity to set my things down.Funny, I loved the coasters, and have ordered a set from eBay with my daughter’s help. Hope to return.

Just What We Needed

My wife and I stayed at Bees Knees for a getaway weekend, for rest, to explore and get to know Big Canoe and the Jasper area more, and to celebrate my birthday. The accommodations were wonderful. Perfectly set up and decorated. Had everything we needed. We felt very at home there. Even saw a family of deer wandering by while enjoying coffee on the outside balcony early one morning. Highly recommend. Thank you.

16th Birthday Trip

I brought my oldest son here for his 16th birthday, along with his best friend, and his two younger brothers. We had an absolute blast staying here! The cabin was perfect for the five of us, we caught a bunch of fish in Lake Petit, and had a great dinner at Black Bear Pub. My only complaint is that I wish we would have booked for an additional day, because there is so much to do here! Thank you so much, and I plan to return again with my wife!

Tranquil

Such a beautiful treehouse in the midst of a peaceful setting. The kitchen was adequate for cooking and serving. Next time we’d pack Tupperware and baggies for leftovers and packing picnic sandwiches. We’d also pack an inflatable bath pillow to truly enjoy the champagne soaker bathtub which was a lovely bonus. We loved the hiking trails in The Big Canoe. Thanks you again for a perfect relaxing weekend.

Perfect get away!

The Bees Knees is the perfect get away for a weekend of unplugging and unwinding. The place was clean and the beds were so comfy. The swings and hammock on the lower level were such a great addition. The owners were so accomodating when we had food delivered and an extra friend came in for the wine tour. They responded quickly and gave great recommendations for places to eat. We all loved everything about our experience. Perfect long weekend!

Lovely Weekend Away

The Bees Knees was so cute and cozy. Perfect for a Mother’s Day weekend away with my mom and two sisters. The house had everything we needed and was so nicely decorated. It was as advertised. The only thing we wish we had researched Big Canoe in general before we went. It is a BIG place as the name suggests and we got turned around a lot just getting in and out of the area.

Big Canoe Octagon

This little place is beyond fabulous!!! We have been wanting to stay for a while and it was always booked!!! They thought of everything when putting this place together. Because it is a small place, they put a sectional in the family room which was perfect for all of us to gather and watch a movie. I loved everything about it with the exception of going down all the stairs with the luggage. Other than that, you are i a little oasis!!

Couldn’t have been better!

Fantastic stay at Bee’s Knees! The house is so well decorated; seems like each piece was carefully curated, with attention to detail. If the owners aren’t designers, they should be! The house is cozy and inviting, with plenty of room to be comfortable and have our own space. Kitchen was well-stocked, owners were responsive and friendly. The whirlpool was a highlight after a long hike! Also, can’t believe we hadn’t heard of Big Canoe (being from Atlanta), and maybe it’s a secret I should keep, but we’ll definitely tell others and be back ourselves… and hopefully get to stay at Bee’s Knees again!
