"The Nest" is the perfect couples mountain retreat. We are located in the upscale gated community of Big Canoe, which is an hour north of Atlanta. "The Nest" is perfectly perched in the upper Treetopper section which overlooks Lake Petit and features year round lake and mountain views, all while remaining extremely close to the Heart of Big Canoe amenities.
Completely remodeled with open-beams, wood ceilings and floors, along with floor to ceiling windows this cottage immerses you into nature among the trees. Fully equipped modern kitchen including everything to prepare meals. Complimentary coffee/creamer/sugar. King size bed with plush mattress and layered bedding for your comfort. Cabin is equipped with propane gas logs (September- April) a Smart flatscreen TV and high-speed internet (cable is not available).

About the host
Hosted by Hardie Dawn
Hardie and I first discovered Big Canoe in the summer of 2017 and were amazed with the natural beauty and amenities offered in this luxurious mountain community. We began searching for our perfect mountain retreat and decided the treetopper section of Big Canoe would fit our desires nicely. Fortunately, we found one of the few treetoppers overlooking Lake Petit. It needed work, but we simply couldn't pass up the view. Hardie completely remodeled the cabin himself and bought our vision to life. We have named our cabin "The Nest" which means a comfortable or cozy residence or situation; a retreat, or place of habitual resort. We would love to share our little piece of Big Canoe with you and hope you enjoy this magical place as much as we do.
