Cozy Getaway!

We had such a great time at The Nest! Everything was clean and we had no problems with any amenities. It's in a safe community, and it's in within driving distance to hiking and wineries. I'd definitely recommend this adorable cabin if anyone wants to have a quick and fun getaway to north Georgia!

Spectacular cabin

My girlfriend and I stayed at the nest over the weekend. It was absolutely wonderful. The cabin was so cozy and gorgeous. The view to the lake was fantastic from both the cabin and the hotub. It was just right for the two of us. Perfect for a short little get away from the city. We will definitely be back. Couldn't recommend it more for a wonderful couples retreat.

Awesome couples retreat!

This was honestly the best VRBO we have ever had. The place was cleaner than any other we've been in, very well appointed, and nice in literally every way. The bed was comfortable, the hot tub was fantastic, and the view from the porch was awesome. We saw tons of wildlife and our favorite thing quickly became having our morning coffee and waiting to see what animals passed by. I cant say enough good about this place. The host was a great communicator and very pleasant to deal with.

Couples Therapy

Big Canoe in itself an overall top experience. Safe, peaceful and secure. Driving to "The Nest" scenic and nature laced. When we arrived to the location the surrounding area and view awaiting beat expectations. The cabin made for two was clean, had all that one needed, and the floor to glass windows allowed the view to be experienced from kitchen to bedroom. Though all above 5 star, the real star of this property was the outdoor decks. There is an upper and lower deck and both provided a view of the lake below in the valley with too many trees that filled the hills. The upper deck perfect to have dinner and an adult beverage and lower deck having a hot tub a great way to end the day or rather maybe inspire the night. Have stayed in many of these type of rentals and have enjoyed most but The Nest is one of the best, made for two and the only question is: Why not you? BTW: apologize for the appearance that Im writing an add but when I'm delivered more than expected I get carried away a bit. See photos and you will understand better my review. Enjoy

Lovely stay in every way. Accommodations were comfortable and clean, and careful attention given to ensuring our needs were met. As a bonus, the telescope allowed us to spot a resident bald eagle on the island in the middle of the lake … a real treat!

Great View

Nicely appointed, great view, comfortable bed, mostly quite and peaceful and a real feeling of being in the woods (treetops). The deck furniture was also comfortable once we cleared out the siders. While we didn't try to use the hot tub until our last night there, I would have been disappointed had I known the condition of it. Very dirty and a great number of jet nozzles were missing and when turned on it didn't appear to be working properly. To be fair, we did not report this condition since storms moved in and we still had to pack to leave the next morning. Hopefully the owners will make the necessary repairs and this will be 5 Stars in all of the categories.
