Beautiful Christmas Memories!

Our week at Five Bears in Big Canoe was amazing overall!! The house is so comfortable and perfect for the 7 of us. Beautifully decorated for Christmas, it was the cozy comfort we were all seeking. Can’t wait to return and enjoy another season at Big Canoe. Thanks to our gracious host for making it so easy.

Great Stay

We had a great time staying at Big Canoe for our family reunion. The house was spacious enough for our family of 9. The carriage house was perfect for our son and his wife and their baby where she could take naps away from the noise. The only reason I put 4 stars was the upstairs bathroom was dirty and leftover taco shells were in the oven when we got there but other than that we enjoyed our stay

Great stay for five bears or more!

The five bears cabin was exactly what we needed for our staycation getaway. The pictures don't do it justice because the light makes everything look magical. There was enough room for everyone to spread out but not to much to feel isolated. Getting there can be stressful to some, but I loved the views and scenic drive up there. Being able to bring our furbabies really makes it feel like a home away from home. Would definitely book again!

Perfect accommodations

We used this for the bridal party for a wedding. Perfect for hosting a bridal brunch, plenty of areas to gather yet still adequate privacy when needed. Plenty of bathrooms and comfortable beds. The sunroom/dining room was used for brunch and it was absolutely beautiful! The kitchen was well stocked and had all we needed. The house is high up in the mountain, so be aware of a winding, uphill drive. Allison was great with communication and a lovely host!

Great mountain escape for families

The home is located in Big Canoe - a mountain community with a pool, beach with water sports, hiking trails, golf, and more, with some amenities at an additional cost. The home is good for multiple families to enjoy time together in a small living room and casual dining space and another beautiful large-windowed dining room on the main level, a lower level with an additional living space and a ping pong table, but also has bedrooms and bathrooms and spread out on separate levels for quiet down time. Guests should be aware that the house is located in the mountains and roads are very winding and steep in places. The kitchen is tight but had everything we needed for meals. We enjoyed the home and the community!

perfect place!

Property is great and the house is lovely with comfortable beds & clean linens. It feels like you're staying in a luxury tree house - so many windows with great views of the outdoors. To stay in Big Canoe was nice but the visitor information was misleading. You pay for everything you want to do and everywhere you want to go. The golf clubhouse has terrible service with a poor quality of food.

Nice, relaxing family getaway

Property was beautiful and spacious enough for our family. The hosts made sure there was plenty of firewood for the fireplace. Allison was available for all questions and concerns. The house is located 10 minutes up the mountain and so you have to drive to reach the hiking trails and other activities as walkability is limited around the house. All in all, this was a nice vacation for our spring break.

Welcoming mountain cabin

Winding, curvy, steep road within a gated resort lead to this beautiful home high on the mountain. Parking was challenging as we had 5 cars and only 4 spots (with creative maneuvering.) We were allowed to leave one car at the chapel parking lot which worked out fine. There are 2 bedrooms on the top level of the home but you have to walk through one to get to the other, a little awkward for middle of the night bathroom trips. The room over the garage is adorable but could use curtains for some privacy. Over all, a well equipped, clean, comfortable and easily large enough for the 10 adults in my family that stayed there.

Five Bears Cabin was just what we were looking for!

We had my daughter's 16th birthday weekend at Five Bears and it was absolutely AMAZING! The cabin was even more beautiful than the pictures and was stocked with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen supplies made it so easy to prepare and cook meals. The huge table was perfect for meals and board games. We LOVED the cozy cabin rooms each with classy décor! The cabin had lots of space and fun places to hang out. There's even a nice fire pit on the back deck. Our host, Allison went above and beyond as she answered all my questions! (I so appreciate her kindness and quick responses!) Her directions to the upper and lower waterfalls made our trip extra special! (Definitely go see the falls!) The girls also loved the indoor pool and hot tub! Thank you for a weekend that will forever be a favorite memory.

Five Bears was the most unique cabin home my family and I have stayed in the Big Canoe community. We fell in love with this cabin, the decor, and layout. The beds/furniture were comfortable, plenty of firewood provided. We were happy with our vacation home selection. There was enough to keep us entertained when choosing to stay in as well as plenty of activities, trails to walk when venturing out. We definitely recommend Five Bears for your next stay in Big Canoe! Thank you Allison for everything! We appreciate you keeping in contact with us! Booking through Expedia & VRBO was easy so if you don't already have the app download it because it provides an efficient way to communicate with the property and have your reservation information/itinerary accessible at anytime.

We traveled to Big Canoe for a family wedding with a large contingent of family. This home was exactly as described, maybe even more. Everyone felt comfortable and took full advantage of the many nooks and crannies both outdoors and indoors. Allison is a terrific host who answered any question quickly making our stay all the easier.

Beautiful mountain retreat

This was one of our best Fall mountain trips yet. Big Canoe is a beautiful and vast mountain retreat community, nestled in N GA. Allison was very responsive and by far the best host we have ever rented from. The home was recently updated, bringing the accommodations a nice face-lift. There are plenty of seating areas with lovely views or a tv if you so choose. If you plan on traveling with young children, the walls are a little less insulated than others but a simple sound machine fixes the problem of social noise. Overall, we would absolutely stay here again.
