Gorgeous Location with Room for ImprovementWe stayed one night for a girls trip and were truly impressed by the peaceful, secluded setting in Big Canoe. The gated community felt safe and serene, and the views were absolutely beautiful. The beds were very comfortable, and the hot tub was a great addition for relaxing.That said, there were several areas that could use attention. The kitchen lacked basic essentials—no wine glasses, no cutting boards, and the knives were dangerously dull. It would be helpful to include basics like cooking oil and salt. The fireplace was nearly impossible to operate even with instructions; having the pilot light already lit for guests would make a big difference. We also couldn’t find the chiminea that was pictured in the listing.There were no towels provided downstairs, and a major concern was that the downstairs bedroom doors wouldn’t open to the deck, which could be a fire hazard. Additionally, requiring guests to take trash down the mountain is unreasonable, especially considering the cleaning fee.Overall, we enjoyed the natural beauty and comfort of the home, but a few thoughtful updates would make this rental much more guest-friendly and worth the price
