This property was such a great find for our christmas vacation with our friends. There were 10 of us in total from 4 years old to 55 years old and everyone had a great time. I will say, The photos didnt do the space justice. It was much bigger than anticipated. We really enjoyed the hot tub, as well as the fire place! I didnt love that there was only 1 working television and not very much seating for thay many people, but we made it work. Tom was a great host!

We enjoyed our extended family stay at this house, and another up the road. This house had plenty of sleeping area, was well clean and well maintained, great location where you could walk down to the beach club, and a communicative and helpful owner. Highly recommended.

Perfect Spot in Big Canoe

We’ve been to Big Canoe numerous times, and Almost Heaven is our favorite rental there. The house had everything we needed, and the hot tub was a fun bonus. The location so close to the Beach Club cannot be beat, especially when you have kids and are there in the summer. Tom is a fantastic host, responsive and kept us up to speed on everything we needed to know.

Family Reunion Fun

We rented two homes overlooking the beach club for our large family. It was wonderful being able to walk down to the beach club. The home was very well appointed. Tom was very helpful before our stay - even letting us know that the local store had a refrigeration problem the day before our stay began.

Rustic, homey, amazing location

Beautiful house perched in the woods above the lake; the view from the living room window is like a picture postcard. The steep path behind the house takes you to the little beach (for boating, wading, volleyball) and to the hiking trails. It was somehow both spacious and snug, with autumnal decor, and with more rooms than we could even take advantage of.

We enjoyed Tom and Julie's place better than a five star hotel. The home was georgous and had everything you needed. Their place is the perfect getaway for anyone who wants plenty of space, great views, and people who cater to your needs. Tom and Julie are the greatest. John and Yolanda Grace

Guestbook Comment

My family recently returned from a week at Big Canoe and we stayed at "Almost Heaven" and can attest to how wonderful this house was for our vacation. First of all, Tom and Judi are delight to deal with and make every effort to make your stay as perfect as possible. The house was exactly as described and the location could not have been more ideal being only steps away from the beach and pool. If you're looking for another world away from Atlanta without a long drive or hassling flight then you should strongly consider staying at this lovely home.
