We had a lovely stay in Big Canoe. We found plenty to do with hiking and zip lining nearby. It was also an easy drive into Atlanta for museums and sight seeing. The cabin was lovely and had everything we needed.

Lovely location, extremely comfortable rooms & beds, fun things to do at the house and within BigCanoe! The pool/beach/ kayaks/paddleboats were fantastic. And the rock slide was the most fun this grandma has had in ages! Maybe I missed it but I didn’t realize those amenities were $20 per person per day. They were worth it, but it’s good to be aware of!

We loved our stay! Big Canoe is a gorgeous neighborhood and the cottage was perfect for us. We walked 8 miles on the trails in Big Canoe and then to the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail the next day. We enjoyed the Fainting Goat Winery after the hike. In Jasper, we saw one of our favorite musical artists, Sam Burchfield eating dinner and he was so kind to spend a few minutes talking to us. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. I enjoyed yoga on the lower screened in porch and dinner and coffee on the upper porch. It felt very private, even though you have neighbors. We loved listening to the birds while sitting on the deck. Great weekend and we hope to visit again!

This was our third time to Big Canoe and it was just absolutely wonderful! This home was very spacious and had lots of great features! only complaint that there is like one dish towel. Big Canoe is not somewhere you go on vacation and go out to eat all the time, you do lots of cooking there! so my only suggestion would be some more dish towels for the guests! The home was well cleaned and taken care of. The driveway is also flat which is great and hard to come by in that area!

We lived our stay in Big Canoe. We lived in this amazing community for 18 years so it was just like coming home. This is a great location within Bug Canoe. Centrally located. I am 70 so the stairs were steep leading to the master bedroom and there is a step down just as you open the bedroom door. That is just for information. Our day was perfect.

Thank you Pam. We are happy to host you and your family. You left everything in order after checking out and were easy to communicate with. We were glad to speak with you just after you left to book another visit to Big Canoe- we are glad your stay made you want to return! The primary bedroom has typical stairs and a beautiful, and memorable, mountain view. We appreciate you. :)

Great location. My grandchildren loved the beach club and wilderness park. We are going to make this a annual tradition.

It was lovely. Very welcoming and cozy cottage with beautiful views. Very clean and lots of space. Great location within Big Canoe. Close to beach club and trails. Neighborhood was very quaint. Lots of birds to watch. We saw a fox and a wild turkey as well.

After a crazy year, we needed a quick getaway. Bear Pause Cottage was exactly what we were looking for. The cottage had everything we needed including a ping pong table and games. The Big Canoe community is amazing! We will definitely come back.

This is a great property. Six of us went over Christmas and had a wonderful time! The beds were comfy, beautiful views of the mountains from every room and the fireplace was lovely. The rental company was extremely helpful. We didn’t know how to light the fireplace and the handyman came out immediately to show us. We went ice skating in Spring Hill, had dinner at a beautiful winery in dohlonega and went to amicacola falls. Big canoe has plenty of hiking trails. I highly recommend this property!!!

Bear Pause Cottage has lots of adorable bear decorations. It's very clean and the beds are comfortable! It's also close to a lot of great places to take the family. We went to Amicalola Falls and Gibbs Garden while we were there. The management team is very responsive and easy to work with. If you want to disappear into the mountains and never see other humans, Big Canoe is not the right community. But if you'd like to interleave your outdoor adventures with golf and fine dining, this place is perfect.

I booked this rental for a 5 day trip from Texas and we got so much more than we were betting on. The views, the amenities and the location were beyond perfect. We had a great view from any of the 3 decks and plenty of space. Ended the week wonderfully by getting engaged! We will definitely be back and are even considering the area for our wedding.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for that very gracious review. Congratulations and please come back with a bunch of children.

The Bear Pause house in Big Canoe is a great family house to enjoy all that Big Canoe has to offer. The house is clean and well appointed. All communication and processes were easy to follow. Only thing we didn't like was the water pressure in the showers is very low but maybe that's a Big Canoe issue overall, not sure.

Eric B. - Posted: 8/12/2020

Thank you for leaving a review and we are sorry about the lower water pressure. Please come back again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Big Canoe. Our house was perfect and was large enough for all of us to have our own space. Big Canoe is a great vacation destination. There is definitely something there for everyone!
