About this property

The Bee’s Knees of Big Canoe! North GA Mountain Cabin

Bee’s Knees at Big Canoe is a 2 bedroom / 2 bath treetopper cottage located in the beautiful Big Canoe gated community. The master suite has a private bath with a jetted-air soaking tub and a queen size bed. You will find yourself cozy and wanting to be lazy as you look out the floor to ceiling windows. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a roll away folding bed is available if needed. The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need to prepare meals, and a gas grill will allow you to prepare the fish you caught in Lake Pettit the same day. Wifi is available with two smart TV’s, and smart locks give you easy access to the cottage. Laundry room is available for use and located downstairs. The Bee’s Knees is the perfect getaway for couples or small families of four or five. Come and experience outdoor living with indoor comforts. Nestled in the trees, you can sit back and watch the sunrise and spend time on the large wrap around deck, or sit in the hammock or swing below. Our outdoor living includes multiple places to escape and soak in the great outdoors surrounded by beautiful trees, wildlife, and seasonal views of Lake Pettit and Lake Disharoon. Do you want to plan a hike and a picnic? We have a picnic basket and blanket (located downstairs) available for use!

The Big Canoe gated community offers, first and foremost, tranquility! In this tranquil setting you can do as much or as little to make your stay what you desire in this 8000 acres community. Amenities include golf courses, tennis and pickleball courts, swimming club, a fitness center, lakes and beaches, boat rentals, a rock slide, hiking trails, play fields, parks, children’s play areas, nature preserves and more! (Some amenities, including swim club, are additional fees) 2015 Bliss Awards - Big Canoe named Best Hiking Community of the Year "Big Canoe has 22 miles of genuine hiking trails, not double purpose community sidewalks. The well maintained hiking trails lead to waterfalls, Indian trail tree markers, historic moonshine stills and cabins dating back to the early 1800’s. During the spring, wildflowers and Rhododendron fill the forest. During the fall, the forest floor is carpeted with crunchy leaves and falling acorns. The smells and sounds are invigorating hiking in Georgia."

Big Canoe is located only 15 miles from Amicalola Falls State Park, 17 miles from Jasper and 27 miles from the historic town of Dahlonega. Check out the Big Canoe Community and more about the area at the Big Canoe website!

The Bee’s Knees has a no pet or smoking policy. This home is only accessible by stairs.

Peaceful

We really enjoyed our stay. The sunrise every morning was breathtaking. The cabin had everything we needed. Planning another trip here for the fall!!!! The only thing I can think of in any negative way was unloading the van with all the steps down AND up . Luckily I had my 15 year old daughter with me and she did most of it. lol

Great getaway with family

We had a great time at the Bee’s Knees. Would definitely stay there again. So charming… Coming from South Florida the roads in Big Canoe were somewhat challenging at first but we got use to the winding roads quickly. If it is your first time visiting I would recommend arriving before dark. Also, parking could be a challenge if you have a large SUV but it is doable. 5 stars!

Girls Weekend

Cute little Cottage. Had everything we needed, plus some. Great location. Owners responded very quickly when we reached out to them with questions before our trip. We forgot to put both of our names on the list, so we hit a snag at the gate but we called the owners, they answered, called the gate guard, and fixed the problem within minutes. Highly recommend!!

Perfect getaway

Our stay was amazing, we love the Big Canoe community and have stayed previously. This property was well supplied with Keurig, kitchen that was easy to cook in, laundry for drying pool towels, snuggly bed that was soft with great bedding, ample couch seating and a beautiful serene location in the trees. Literally felt like staying in a posh treehouse!

Tranquil

Such a beautiful treehouse in the midst of a peaceful setting. The kitchen was adequate for cooking and serving. Next time we’d pack Tupperware and baggies for leftovers and packing picnic sandwiches. We’d also pack an inflatable bath pillow to truly enjoy the champagne soaker bathtub which was a lovely bonus. We loved the hiking trails in The Big Canoe. Thanks you again for a perfect relaxing weekend.
