About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

"Refined Rustic" Round Retreat

Up, up, and ahhhhhway! Perched on a beautiful mountainside, our cute little octagonal piece of heaven takes you to the treetops. Inside you'll be taken to where rustic meets refined and creative meets comfortable.

Enjoy our master bedroom with a queen canopy bed which seems to blend right into the woods that surround it. Our second bedroom has two twin beds which can be converted to a king upon request for no extra fee. Turn on the virtual flames of our little electric space heater and snuggle in for a snooze with the black bears.

Take in panoramic sunrise views with your morning cup of coffee through floor to ceiling windows or grab a book from our little library and chill out on our wraparound porch and listen to the creek close by.

Want to add something a little special to your stay? We offer two add on amenities -- both $35 each. The first is access to the washer/dryer in our utility closet under the living space. We provide clothes washing detergent and a laundry basket. The second is our gas log fireplace (available after 10/27/2023). Add a warm, romantic glow to your stay. Upon your request, we will set up the gas log with a standard 20 lb propane tank which delivers about 10 hours of burning with just the flip of a switch.

After a day of taking in the Big Canoe experience, settle in with the family and watch a DVD or VHS tape in our cozy living room or play a board game from our game collection. We hope you will feel relaxed, refreshed, and inspired.

Poor communication /poorly maintained railroad tie steps
We received a last minute email from the host as we were traveling there. When we got there I complained to the host about the number of steps ( my wife is disabled and we are in our 70’s) They responded that we should have read the add closer. The next morning we were told to leave because we hadn’t signed the dog policy in the late email. I responded that I didn’t have a dog crate with me and so we left by check out time. Bad communication led to bad feelings all around. Also very

Big Canoe Getaway
It was exactly as listed. It was very peaceful and serene. Big Canoe is a huge property but this place was literally 3 minutes from the Beach Club. It was very centrally located. Hosts were great with communication and directions. Overall a great experience.

“We’re sleeping in the trees!”
We had a lovely stay here with two young kids (4 and 2) and loved being so close to the playground and park area. I’m glad I brought groceries as others mentioned, and the house was stocked with basics for cooking and prep. The bedrooms are so magical—you really feel like you’re part of the wooded treetops! Hosts were great and available to help with tricky directions upon arrival during a heavy storm. House was very clean. Excellent place and would love to return!

Cute, quiet, & great lighting.
Loved this ‘geometric treehouse’ surrounded by trees. The combination of shade and windows made for a very peaceful retreat in North GA. The host was also very helpful and friendly. Kitchen had everything you’d typically need and little more. Would stay here again.

PEACEFUL, PERFECT GET-AWAY!
I booked this stay based on previous reviews and the location, and was so entirely impressed. Cabin is in pristine condition and so beautiful. So clean and so comfortable! We loved every minute of it! The owners are great and explained everything to me before we even got there. Their manual is detailed and answers all your questions. I was prepared to get there and have trouble finding the cabin, had no problem at all! Literally step by step directions from owners!! 3 stop signs and your there. A few steps up to the house, not bad at all! The view is amazing and the cabin is nice and warm even on cold winter nights. Literally right down the road from Amicalola Falls and we got to hike the whole mountain! This place is amazing! Communication with owners is superb and timely. I feel if I had any questions they would get back to me immediately— but we had no problems. I would love to come back and stay again and again! Thank you guys so much!!

Great for small family getaway
Fun, well-kept round house in central location close to main road in Big Canoe. Kitchen and bathrooms supplied with all basics. Responsive and prepared owners. Potential guests should be aware of (-20-30) steps to climb up hill and into the house. We would defintely stay again for weekend or week-long trip.

Lovely cabin, gorgeous views
This is a great, cozy cabin. The views are beautiful and it’s conveniently close to the swim club, ball field, and playground. The kitchen is very compact, but adequate, except for the oven. The host shared that it ran a bit hot, so they placed a thermometer inside to help gauge the actual temp. Unfortunately, the temp varied hugely each time we used it - it wasn’t simply running 25 degrees hot each time. So it made it cooking things tricky. We had to watch things and adjust the dial through cooking the same thing. Both beds are comfortable. The host is very communicative, but we would have preferred a bit less communication. Overall, a good experience.

We enjoyed everything about the villa. Two of us had actually stayed in these treehouses 40 years ago. Forgot about the fact that some had more steps than others. We had a heart patient with us but he managed. Lovely time and the leaf color was perfectly timed. The host were very accommodating.

This was our 1st vacation to Georgia and and it was beautiful. Loved the fall leaves and colors. The treetop house was delightful. Fire place a huge plus and the porch was amazing.
