Elk Horn - Big Canoe GA

Stayed at this mountain home in Big Canoe for a family wedding. House is great with lots of room and a beautiful deck. It’s walkable to the clubhouse (rather steep, but doable grade). Only issue was the dishwasher needed to have wheels replaced on bottom rack. Will definitely rent here again.

The community where this home was located was amazing. It was great to be able to walk out the door and find so many hiking trails all around. We only had to drive a couple minutes to the marina to fish or kayak. The home had quite a few games and puzzles that our children discovered which was fun. There was a generous amount of towels left for us. And the kitchen was stocked as well as a home that is lived in. They even had a toaster oven/air fryer which was great for some quick meals. Overall the management team did good communicating, and checking in. The home was cleaned well. It is older and in need of some tlc, pressure washing, new caulk, new wood around the upstairs balcony, trees need trimmed from the house although they provide some privacy it appears a little overgrown. The back porch balcony needs some upkeep as the wood is deteriorating around the screened porch and the furniture outside could use some new pillows, as does anyone’s outdoor furniture after a few years in the elements. Our family enjoyed our stay overall, the beds were comfortable, the nice boxes of kitchen pods, laundry soap (for that emergency load) were a nice touch. We had fun and would come again.

This was a great trip with our family. The location of this house is great as it is close to the lake activities! We had plenty of room and loved our time at Big Canoe!

amenities has some issues (mainly some of the furniture, that posed real hazards. Management sent a team member to mitigate immediately. Communication was very good, but not personal. Location and property were excellent, very family oriented. We enjoyed the Big Canoe amenities. There were a couple of things that stood out. First, they have a pretty hefty cleaning fee, which while substantial, we may understand for the size of the place. However, they require guests to take out their own trash to the transfer station, which may or may not be convenient for everyone. This is becoming an increasing trend among rentals on VRBO. We will start filtering against it, since it is a major deterrent as a guest, that is renting in order not think about the responsibilities of home life.
