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.

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.

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 was in a great location in Big Canoe -- right around the corner from the Jeep trail, near the large playground and walking track, near the pools -- it felt centrally located- just a quick drive to everything in the community. This place had a perfect set up for a family of 4 -- it's well appointed, the beds and pillows are quality, the bathrooms are updated (there's a jetted tub in the master -- which I normally would not utilize, but everything was so clean it was easy to try), and the kitchen was the perfect space to whip up a quick meal. This little place is so cozy and inviting, and on top of it all, there are views to of the lake on the backside of the deck where there is seating set up. We loved it and will be back!

This adorable cabin was exactly what we needed. We travel all over the Appalachian states to watch our daughter's collegiate lacrosse games and dread the hotel stays. This was a solid 30 minutes from the field, but oh so worth it!It is very cozy and welcoming cabin in the most amazing setting. The walking trails are all over with ranging levels of difficulty. The deck in the perfect place to sit and drink coffee and wstch the sunrise. Its a very peaceful place to unwind. It has everything you'd need in the kitchen, extra blankets to snuggle on the sofa, plenty of fresh towels, soft bedding and ceiling fans in every room (a must have in our family). We didn't have alot of extra time on our trip for the outdoor activities but we got a couple good hikes in, they do have walking sticks which i wish we'd have taken in our hikes, lol. We would absolutely come back to stay.
