Summary Summary
Some cabins are built to look rustic. This one simply is. One of the original log cabins in Big Canoe, this home has the warmth and character that only comes with time. Original timber walls and a stone fireplace give it a sense of permanence, while thoughtful updates make it comfortable for modern stays.
Description Description
Life here naturally slows down. Mornings begin with coffee on the porch as the woods wake up around you, afternoons invite a good book or long conversations, and evenings end beside the fire after a day spent exploring the mountains. With two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen, the cabin comfortably accommodates up to four guests.

Bedroom #1 includes a full sized bed and ensuite bathroom with an oversized single vanity and glass walk-in shower.

Bedroom #2 is in the loft and includes a full size bed, smart TV, work desk with chair, and ensuite bathroom with a single vanity and glass walk-in shower.

Just as memorable is the atmosphere. Neighbors wave as they pass, wildlife is part of everyday life, and there’s a genuine sense of community throughout Big Canoe. Dogs are just as welcome, with multiple dog parks and miles of dog-friendly trails to explore together. We love welcoming dogs to the cabin. Before booking, please take a moment to review our pet guidelines.

Built in 1974, this cabin was among the very first homes in Big Canoe. Over fifty years later, it still stands as a quiet reminder of the community’s beginnings. Original timber walls, hand-laid stone, and the towering fireplace remain just as they were, preserving the warmth, simplicity, and authenticity that make this home so special. In fact, the original builder still calls Big Canoe home today—a testament to the enduring spirit of this remarkable community.

Thoughtful updates in 2020 include central heating and air, along with a fully functional kitchen, providing modern comfort without sacrificing the cabin’s original character. Some places earn their character over time. If you’re looking to experience Big Canoe from one of the homes that helped shape its story, we’d be honored to share this cabin with you.

The cabin was very nice, very easy walk to the lake and trails. Beds were comfy, AC, WiFi, tv worked great.There is a full kitchen, but it’s missing a few items. We had a great stay, and would definitely recommend and return.

This community is full of beautiful and unique homes yet feels private. The cabin is modernized but also feels authentic with beautiful natural wood everywhere. Every day we walked to the lake and caught huge trout! Beautiful hikes, waterfalls, and rapids within 20 minutes. Our kids (ages 8 and 10) and dog loved it! We will definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed the guest cabin, great views of the mountains, sunsets/rises, and the water! Inside brought all the cabin vibes and created a great escape from the busy world atmosphere while still offering great and to date amenities such as renovated bathrooms and all the kitchen appliances.

Upon opening the door a strong musty odor like cat urine welcomed us. Opened windows to vent, turned ac on and over the stay and lots of perfume it diminished. Beds were comfortable, nicely furnished and clean. Coffee maker showed it needed to be descaled and we only had 2 coffee K-pop’s not 3 boxes like the pictures showed. Grocery store is 30 minutes away.

The stay was good, but this 'Grand Welcome' check-in process needs fixing. Days after booking, I received the first of many text messages from Grand Welcome wanting a liability E-Doc signed and submitted. Maeh was the first person I dealt with (I know, funny way to spell Maya). I printed a copy and looked forward to my visit. On my arrival day, I received a text from this same 'Grand Welcome' saying they didn't have confirmation of said E-Doc form. Would I kindly submit ID verification (I.sent a pic of my DL). Jason was the name on that message. The following message asking for a selfie to confirm the person in the license was the person checking in. I dealt with Gladys on that one. Up to this point, Grand Welcome had been answering my texts quickly. I arrive at the cabin and I got ghosted. I waited an hour and began to worry. The phone number given, at the top of Grand Welcome's first message, was not in service. I goggled Grand Welcome/N.Georgia Mts., got a numbered, called, and got put on hold, No one ever answered. At this point I thought I had gotten scammed. I was right in the middle of searching for the nearest Hampton Inns when the owner of the cabin showed up. He lives right down the street and saw me sitting on the stair. He's the one who let me in. Very nice guy. I showed him all my interactions with 'Grand Welcome' and left it at that. It wasn't until the following day, that 'Grand Welcome' decided to send me code for door lock, and it was wrong!

Cozy cabin in beautiful setting. Excellent communication with property manager at all times. For kitchen utensils, the chef’s knife should be sharpened or replaced.

This is our second stay at this location. The location is great. It is close to most of the amenities in Big Canoe.Suggestions to improve a stay at the cabin. There was no hairdryer(wish we had known). The upstairs bedroom needs a darker curtain or a shade(carlights are annoying). An extra blanket needs to be provided in each bedroom, especially during the cold weather.Extra towels would be helpful.Overall, it is a cozy stay!
