Everything you need to enjoy your time at Big Canoe is available to you in our home located on Lake Disharoon. You can wake up to the sound of the Canadian Geese flying overhead and go to sleep listening to the songs of the frogs. Our home has central heat and air as well as ceiling fans in all rooms, but sometimes you don't even need them!

Our house comfortably accommodates a maximum of 10 people including children.

Set in the foothills of the scenic North Georgia Mountains with elevations exceeding 3000 feet lays the enchanted land known as Big Canoe. Be prepared to brake for deer or wild turkey at any given turn in the road.

Perfect Spot in Big Canoe

We’ve been to Big Canoe numerous times, and Almost Heaven is our favorite rental there. The house had everything we needed, and the hot tub was a fun bonus. The location so close to the Beach Club cannot be beat, especially when you have kids and are there in the summer. Tom is a fantastic host, responsive and kept us up to speed on everything we needed to know.

Great house

We enjoyed our extended family stay at this house, and another up the road. This house had plenty of sleeping area, was well clean and well maintained, great location where you could walk down to the beach club, and a communicative and helpful owner. Highly recommended.

Rustic, homey, amazing location

Beautiful house perched in the woods above the lake; the view from the living room window is like a picture postcard. The steep path behind the house takes you to the little beach (for boating, wading, volleyball) and to the hiking trails. It was somehow both spacious and snug, with autumnal decor, and with more rooms than we could even take advantage of.

Nice relaxing vacation

Property was just as described. It was perfect for a set of parents, their 2 grown children, and 6 grandchildren. They even had a pack-n-play for the infant. Owner was easy to contact, and even alerted us once when there was a bear sited near the house. One of the lakes/pool areas was able to be accessed by walking down a hill from behind the house, which the kids took full advantage of. There were lifeguards, so the older kids were able to come and go to the pool. We will definitely stay there again.

This property was such a great find for our christmas vacation with our friends. There were 10 of us in total from 4 years old to 55 years old and everyone had a great time. I will say, The photos didnt do the space justice. It was much bigger than anticipated. We really enjoyed the hot tub, as well as the fire place! I didnt love that there was only 1 working television and not very much seating for thay many people, but we made it work. Tom was a great host!

Family Reunion Fun

We rented two homes overlooking the beach club for our large family. It was wonderful being able to walk down to the beach club. The home was very well appointed. Tom was very helpful before our stay - even letting us know that the local store had a refrigeration problem the day before our stay began.
