Great Location in Big Canoe
Easily accommodates 10 family members, would not recommend 12 unless you are bringing your own linens and air mattress. Big Canoe is a beautiful quiet neighborhood. The home is large and nicely furnished. Feedback was provided to the rental company and we have confidence they will make a few easy changes to ensure the next families stay is much more comfortable.

Perfect Mountain Weekend
There’s nothing like kicking off a new year with a friends gathering to plan our upcoming year. When I saw online the downstairs conference table I knew this vacation rental was perfect for the six of us ladies. We called the gathering our Mentoring Capstone to discuss the previous year and plan for the next. The rental was beautifully updated and spacious enough for each of us to have our privacy. We have already recommended the rental to others so they, too, can enjoy this mountain home.

Amazing Stay!
We had an unforgettable experience this trip! The house was big enough for everyone. Even on a rainy day when we laid low, we all had our own space and didn't get bored and feel on top of each other! The scenery was beautiful, the house was clean, and even though we didn't use the amenities we saw everything the development had to offer and we are going to look into taking another trip in a warmer season to explore the area again!

It’s definitely a check off my bucket list. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing. The scenery was breathtaking. The house was comfortably satisfying. Enough room for every guest and even visitors. The stores were conveniently close, especially Walmart. The beds were great. The kids enjoyed the swimming pool and other amenities. Thank you for a wonderful family getaway in the mountains. I will most definitely be back.

Family Summer Retreat
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the McDowell property! We were looking for a reasonably price place that was an hour drive away and could comfortably accommodate 10 people and we found it. The house felt like a home away from home. It was very clean, nicely decorated and well stocked with everything that we needed from towels, extra linen, kitchen utensils, dishes and pots/pans for cooking. We spent time in the large family room downstairs watching movies and a few hours on the screened porch reminiscing about childhood memories. Big Canoe has a great fitness facility, lakes, swimming pools and wildlife (we saw several deer). We grilled on the gas grill and created great new memories for our family. My family really wanted to rent a pontoon but we waited too late to make our reservation. Be sure to book in advance if you are visiting during the summer weekends as reservations fill quickly. Lynn honored our last minute request for a late checkout since there was not a rental on the day we left. My family was so grateful as it allowed us time to have breakfast together before checkout. Booking the McDowell property and check-in was so easy. Lynn was very responsive and answered all of my questions. We loved everything about our experience and definitely would return to this property.

Christmas in Big Canoe
My family of 6 enjoyed 3 nights over Christmas at McDowell Hideaway. We found it to be a spacious, well equipped, quiet and comfortable location. It's close proximity to the North Gate made it easy and quick to get to. There are many outdoor activities available in Big Canoe. We especially enjoyed the hiking trails. We would consider a return visit to Big Canoe and McDowel Hideaway.

Autumn Hikers
My husband and I stayed a week at the McDowell Hideaway so that we could check out Big Canoe and the surrounding area and get in some hiking, and we had some friends from Atlanta join us for a couple days. We loved Gibbs Gardens and the hiking in Big Canoe and the surrounding area. We loved how comfortable and nicely furnished this house was. Great location, too...just a few minutes from the North Gate inside Big Canoe. Nestled in the woods at the end of a cul-de-sac, so you have privacy, AND you are just steps away from the trails. Lots of towels and extra sheets. Fully equipped kitchen. We liked the big entertainment area in the lower level where we watched movies in the evening. Great to have your morning coffee among the trees out on the deck! We locked ourselves out of the house the first day, and Lynn from the rental management company showed up in less than 10 minutes to help us out. Really enjoyed ourselves, and would recommend this house.

Exceptional location and great, spacious house with tons of sleeping options. The house is located right next to the hiking trails, pools, beach volleyball, canoeing, and fitness facility. Tons of nearby activities to do if you want to be active. The house is also great for a cozy day inside. There is a beautiful reading room as well as a large deck that looks out into the woods. The two tv rooms are comfortable and great for a long day inside watching movies. I am definitely coming back!

Great weekend getaway!
We had a wonderful weekend when we stayed here at the McDowell Hideaway! The house was tucked away in a beautiful area with easy access to a lot of awesome activities. The location was great - minutes away from walking trails, the lake, basketball courts, pools, and much more! The home is so open and spacious, and it really does feel like a home. There is plenty of room and everything you need is right there in the house! I would strongly recommend staying here if you are looking for a nice private, relaxing, and fun getaway! We will definitely be returning and staying here again in the future!
