Bee’s Knees at Big Canoe is a 2 bedroom / 2 bath treetopper cottage located in the beautiful Big Canoe gated community. The master suite has a private bath with a jetted-air soaking tub and a queen size bed. You will find yourself cozy and wanting to be lazy as you look out the floor to ceiling windows. The second bedroom has two twin beds and a roll away folding bed is available if needed. The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need to prepare meals, and a gas grill will allow you to prepare the fish you caught in Lake Pettit the same day. Wifi is available with two smart TV’s, and smart locks give you easy access to the cottage. Laundry room is available for use and located downstairs. The Bee’s Knees is the perfect getaway for couples or small families of four or five. Come and experience outdoor living with indoor comforts. Nestled in the trees, you can sit back and watch the sunrise and spend time on the large wrap around deck, or sit in the hammock or swing below. Our outdoor living includes multiple places to escape and soak in the great outdoors surrounded by beautiful trees, wildlife, and seasonal views of Lake Pettit and Lake Disharoon.

(Some amenities, including swim club, are additional fees) 2015 Bliss Awards - Big Canoe named Best Hiking Community of the Year "Big Canoe has 22 miles of genuine hiking trails, not double purpose community sidewalks. The well maintained hiking trails lead to waterfalls, Indian trail tree markers, historic moonshine stills and cabins dating back to the early 1800’s. During the spring, wildflowers and Rhododendron fill the forest. During the fall, the forest floor is carpeted with crunchy leaves and falling acorns. The smells and sounds are invigorating hiking in Georgia."

Big Canoe is located only 15 miles from Amicalola Falls State Park, 17 miles from Jasper and 27 miles from the historic town of Dahlonega. Check out the Big Canoe Community and more about the area at the Big Canoe website!

16th Birthday Trip
I brought my oldest son here for his 16th birthday, along with his best friend, and his two younger brothers. We had an absolute blast staying here! The cabin was perfect for the five of us, we caught a bunch of fish in Lake Petit, and had a great dinner at Black Bear Pub. My only complaint is that I wish we would have booked for an additional day, because there is so much to do here! Thank you so much, and I plan to return again with my wife!

A comfortable and peaceful place
We were traveling from 8 hours plus away for a conference. Bee's knees was the perfect place to come unwind and rest after long, intensive days. There were amazing restaurants and shopping nearby, just outside this beautiful mountain resort community, plus trails, lake, golf, many outdoor opportunities. We want to return when we can stay longer and have time to explore all we saw!

Much Needed Time Away
My husband and I just got our son graduated from high school and survived May. It was both joyous and physically and emotionally exhausting. We desperately needed a few days away to rest ans connect. We slept (a lot) - hiked the covered bridge trail - watched movies - and took an afternoon trip to Dalonega to walk and shop a bit. The Bees Knees was just what it promised!!!!
