Big Canoe GA Rentals - Resting Retreat

Honestly the house was great and had everything you'd need on vacation and Jenny was helpful but there were concerns, although they may not be an issue for others. The doors on the main floor did not lock. We had small children with us so having non locking sliding glass doors leading out to a balcony was a hazard as well as a worry for potential for bear entry. The parking. The driveway/parking area is a steep incline with no lighting so arriving or leaving at night is very challenging. If you come with multiple vehicles you will have to move everyone to let a car at the top out. The spiders. We had to carry sticks in order to get in and out or we would run into webs with massive spiders on them. Hidden fees, you're 10 mins in the woods and required to take garbage to the gate or you're charged a $10 fee per bag. This was not disclosed up front, we had no room to carry it down. We had a great stay but had we known the above, our party would have stayed elsewhere.

A Fantastic Post Wedding Retreat

We chose this property for our getaway right after our wedding nearby, and it was the absolute perfect relaxing escape! The scenic views are completely stunning and provided exactly the peace and quiet we needed after all the festivities. The host was incredibly thoughtful and even left us a sweet welcome gift on our arrival. While we could not quite figure out how to operate the sauna, the jacuzzi was perfectly relaxing and exactly what we needed, and boy was the bed comfortable. One thing to note is that the property has an extremely steep driveway, and there are a lot of stairs involved in getting your bags and groceries up to the kitchen and bedrooms. We managed it with zero issues, but if mobility or carrying luggage up steps is a concern for you, you might want to consider a different property. That being said, if the stairs and driveway are not a problem for you, this place is absolutely worth it. The views and the relaxation are top notch, and we would certainly stay here again!

Response from Georgia Cabins For You

Thank you so much for choosing our property for your post-wedding getaway, and congratulations on your marriage! We are delighted to hear that the peaceful setting, stunning views, and relaxing amenities provided the perfect escape after such a special celebration. It is wonderful to know that you enjoyed the welcome gift, the jacuzzi, and a restful night's sleep. We also appreciate you sharing your observations about the driveway and stairs, as this information can be helpful for future guests. Thank you for mentioning the sauna, and we will make sure to review our instructions so they are easier to follow. We truly appreciate your kind words and are honored that you would choose to stay with us again. We look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing visit!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5-Star)

Resting Retreat was lovely! Very clean and everything we needed for our stay. We did not use the sauna nor hot tub. The kitchen was well stocked. Although, if the max number of people were staying there, more flatware is needed. For a longer stay, bring extra garbage bags, toilet paper and dishwasher soap. Overall, we had a nice stay. The property management company was responsive to our requests.

Response from Georgia Cabins For You

Lisa — thank you for choosing Resting Retreat and for the thoughtful review. We’re glad the cabin was very clean, the kitchen well stocked, and that our team was responsive. We appreciate the note about needing more flatware for full‑occupancy stays and will review our inventory. We hope to welcome you back soon. — Georgia Cabins For You Team

Wonderful stay

Once you get to the location (hopefully your car can climb hills). The experience of the cabin is amazing!!!!!!

This is a beautiful house in an incredible resort in the mountains. It does not get much better than this. I highly recommend it!

We had two families stay here for 4th of July weekend. It was an absolutely fantastic place that we’d love to return to. It had all the amenities you could ask for in a property with 6 kids 11 and under on the trip

Response from Georgia Cabins For You

Thank you so much for spending your 4th of July weekend with us and sharing such kind words. It’s wonderful to hear the space worked perfectly for both families and all the kids. We truly love knowing the amenities made your stay so enjoyable. Hopefully, your next visit will be just as memorable.

My team and I had an amazing stay. This was the Perfect get away into a mountain escape. The place was absolutely fantastic and can easily accommodate 15 people with space for everyone to spare. The house is a 15 min uphill climb from the front gate. It is Paramount that you use the main gates to enter and exit as certain entry/exits are only for residents. There is a good pizza place and dollar general just outside the main gate. You wanna bring food into your place because it can a long drive to anything you may want. The views and property in the mountains are breathtaking. There is plenty to do right inside the resort. I would love to stay here again!

Response from Georgia Cabins For You

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're truly delighted to hear that your team enjoyed the mountain escape and felt comfortable with plenty of space to relax.

Great cabin for a large group. Plenty of activities in the cabin for kids and adults. Very comfortable beds, sauna and hot tub worked great. Stocked very well, easy check in and check out progress. Hosts were great and made everything very easy.

It's wonderful to hear the cabin was well stocked and that check-in/check-out went smoothly.

We enjoyed our time at the cabin. Very quiet location. Large table for dining and playing games. Lots of places to sleep but privacy is limited. The master only has sheer curtains over the glass doors that open to the living room. Upstairs loft has curtains as well. Don’t plan to sleep in because the sun comes in bright from the east as sunrise. Very steep driveway with small flat portion up top. Room over the garage is not finished and a bit stuffy. Main house has one AC unit so the upstairs is much warmer than the bottom level.

Response from Georgia Cabins For You

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the quiet location and that the large dining table was great for meals and games with your group. We also appreciate you pointing out the areas where your stay could have been improved, including privacy, temperature differences between levels, the driveway, and the unfinished space. Your comments are helpful and will be shared with our team for review and consideration. Thank you again for staying with us. We’re happy you had a good overall experience and hope to welcome you back in the future.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Resting Retreat was just that,, Very Restful and Relaxing. My family throughly enjoyed the Sauna, Hot Tube and The outside Fire Pit.. We also enjoyed the outside screened in porch with the heater,, our favorite place to watch the sunrise with a hot cup of coffee.. Be Ready for a 15-20 min drive from the Gate to the Cabin so if you have plans to attend an event, plan accordingly. If you are mobile impaired, be ready to climb 2 flights of stairs before getting to the main living area.. Our family would recommend Resting Retreat to other families looking for lots of room, The 4 Bedroom and the Bonus Room above the garage worked out perfectly for our large family.

We loved our stay here. Definitely enough room and there was plenty of things to do. Great for a family getaway with older kids. Loved the hiking, hot tub, and sauna for sure!!

Response from Georgia Cabins For You
