View from the Canoe

Welcome to View From The Canoe - This newly listed vacation destination, about an hour north of Atlanta, is in the resort community of Big Canoe. The 7,000+ acres of Big Canoe is spread over 7 mountains and 3 lakes. With 3 pools and a beach, a famous rock slide, kayaks and pontoon boats that can be rented, trout fishing, 27 holes of golf, and over 25 miles of hiking trails, you’ll never run out of things to do…unless you want to! 

"Amazing peaceful mountain setting!  So quiet and serene and the house ?has so many places to hang out.  The owners thought of everything and ?didn't spare any expense to make this a great place to be together and ?just unwind.  And the Big Canoe resort is incredible!  We can't wait to ?come back."  - Rob C.

Enjoy 4 beautifully decorated bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 3 areas with dining tables (one of which doubles as a ping pong table!), a fully equipped kitchen, a designated work space, a fireplace, wall games, board games, an Infinity Gametable and 4 arcade games. To top it off, the main floor living space has stunning 2-story windows that fill the room with light.

Outside there are even more hangout spaces – a dining area, 2 sofa swings, a gas BBQ grill, and a firetable on a large deck surrounded by the forest for those quiet evenings spending quality time with your favorite people.

LIVING AREAS:

“So many places and ways to relax and unwind and spend time with family and friends.” - Owners

As you enter, you’re taken to the fully equipped kitchen that opens up to the dining and the living areas. There’s a dual Keurig coffee maker to keep the gang fueled up in-between adventures and a dedicated office space with a keyboard and monitor. 

The dining table between the kitchen and the living room seats 8 people.

In the living room, you can sit back and relax on the comfy sofas or leather chairs. While there, gather round the coffee table that reveals an Infinity Gametable and choose from 100s of games for all ages. Or cue up a movie or your favorite show on the large flat screen Smart TV. Later, if there’s a chill in the air, you can curl up by a crackling fire. 

Next to the main floor king suite, the living room opens up to a screened in porch with seating for 4. This is a perfect space for your morning coffee. Make the most of beautiful weather and continue on to the outdoor dining area for unforgettable dinners. You’ll have stairs connecting you to the downstairs patio and deck with a gas BBQ grill where the string lights make this space almost magical.

“Probably the biggest thing that sets us apart, is that, from the beginning, we had one goal - creating the best possible vacation experience.  Everything we did was with the guest in mind.” - Owners

Downstairs, there’s a large living area with one of the stand-out features of this property – a dining table that can easily be converted into a ping pong table. While waiting on your turn to play ping pong, grab a seat and challenge a buddy to a wall game of Connect Four or Scrabble or set the new high score on the Arcade game in the corner!  There are plenty of classic board games also.

Put your feet up in the living room on the comfy sectional, catch up on your favorite TV show or a game. On this level, there’s another king bedroom and bath and another work station.  From this downstairs living area, you can access the covered porch and table with 4 seats and 2 hanging sofa swings. Fire up the gas BBQ grill on the deck and spread out for al fresco dining – there’s plenty of room for everyone on the comfy outdoor sectional sofa and chairs by the firetable. 

After dark, the string lights and the firetable make this area magical!  It will make this one of your favorite places!
