Great location, family friendly
Perfect setting for extended family. Beautiful views. Location was great - adjacent to Big Canoe Beach Club. Kids loved the beach, lake and pool area. House was well equipped. Lots of games, activities, etc. to keep everyone entertained. Access to the lake (beach club) is very steep. Younger folks managed the trek with no issues. Comfortable beds, plenty of linens & beach towels. House had lots of spaces to relax and spend time together.

We rented two house close together for our yearly gathering. It was great being able to walk down to the beach club (although the path was a bit tricky for younger family members). The house was well appointed. we had our evening meals here because of the abundant seating. the kids loved the games on the lower level. Great time was had by all!

Close to Nature
Such a beautiful location, loved that this home backs up to the lake and you wake up to the awesome view. The parking is great you can fit up to 4 cars. We stayed there because it is only 20 minutes to the Tate house and accommodates 13 people, very comfortably. Lots of games very good for keeping all entertained. Love the nature trails and the fishing. We will stay in Big Canoe again.

Multi-generational stay
Stayed at The Roost with family for our son's wedding. Big Canoe is a beautiful (and very hilly) community with numerous amenities. The house is located at the end of a street with a steep, short drive to the parking area (slippery when wet) and offers good views of the lake and beach area. The check in process was seamless and the owner provided informative and timely communication. The house was very efficient and well appointed; however, the property does show some signs of wear. The bedrooms and loft area provided a good selection of sleeping arrangements for our family, who ranged in ages from 23 to 86. We thoroughly enjoyed coming back to the house at the end of each day and relaxing around the fireplace.

Fabulous Combination of Lake and Mountain!
This home has a wonderful blend of lake house feel with a cozy mountain cabin vibe. The game room is an extra bonus and gives everyone plenty of options no matter what your group wants to do! It was great Spring weather while we were there with temps in the 60's so we hiked a different trail every morning and relaxed on the deck in the evening around the fire pit. The house is well appointed and nicely decorated with everything you could possibly want including comfortable linens, all the cookware you need and plenty of thoughtful touches. Inside Big Canoe, it is very convenient to tennis, the beach area and lots of trails. We would highly recommend and look forward to staying here again!

Lots of Family Fun and Shopping in Dawsonville Outlet Malls
Had a wonderful time and the layout worked great with the 3 levels. Family had a blast with the Scrabble board and overall was lots of fun. The hot water had been turned off and we didn't notice until the next morning so showers were not too pleasant.. lol Only negative would be the bathroom fixtures in the shower need to be replaced in upper level as feels very loose and you are afraid you are going to pull it out.

Great first experience in Big Canoe
The house was well appointed and comfortable for our group. The kids certainly enjoyed the game room and having it separate from the living room meant there was a quiet space, too. Although it's location would be great in the summer, we enjoyed being able to access hiking trails located near the bottom of the hill.

Great location and amenities!
Loved this house, plenty of space for 9 guests. The view is wonderful and the location in Big Canoe is very convenient. The house has all necessary amenities and is perfect for cooking meals at home. The game room was also fantastic. One drawback is the description noted there was a smoker but there isn’t one, this was something we planned to use. The ice maker also does not work well, but overall great house.

Very nice but not outstanding
Internet pictures suggested a much bigger home. With 6 adults and 5 children staying in the home the living room, kitchen, and area around the outside were small and crowded. The home is in need of some renovation...hard wood floors need refinished, stove/oven needs replaced, showerhead in master bath would not stay in holder and would fall out of holder. On the positive side the kids throughly enjoyed the games, hammocks, video game, etc.

Beautiful area!
My husband and I enjoyed spending time with all of our kids (plus one grandchild) and mother-in-law at this property. Beautiful area, the house was very nice and had everything we needed. Plenty of space for everyone. Please note: The images of the pool and lake/beach just below your deck comes with a $20/pp per day fee (or $100/wk pp) to use. The information is not fully clear on this. It only stated that some fees may apply for use. You don't get this full info until after you've booked your stay. Also, roads inside of Big Canoe are very windy and hilly. We had to back down the big hill/road to the house to park. Takes a little getting used to - it's steep. Dusty was fairly receptive when we needed to contact him. Calling him is best, if needed. Overall, very nice property and area!

Great Family Vacation
Beautiful property right on the lake. Would love to visit again in the summer. The boys enjoyed the basketball courts and the girls enjoyed the indoor pool. There were lots of games for the kids who enjoyed the tabletop shuffleboard, scrabble, and arcade. The kids had a baking championship and all necessary utensils were there. Lots of baby stuff although we brought our own. Gorgeous hiking trails accessible from the property that lead to waterfalls and can circle the lake. I had to contact the owner at one point (no issue with the property) and he was quick to respond and super friendly. Please be aware that we were not able to locate a charcoal grill but were able to locate a propane grill. Definitely recommend!
