Really nice property -- very clean, updated, comfortable and good location within Big Canoe. We'd rent it long-term if it were available....

The property was great! We had a lot of fun while at the house and were able to find what we needed in the house. We did have one minor issue but the response was very quick and resolved for us very quickly!

Wonderful area and very clean cottage. Beautiful wooded areas. We did not get to enjoy the hiking trails because of wedding events but I am sure they would be great. The staff at the gate were exceptional. We would stay again for sure.

Lovely location, extremely comfortable rooms & beds, fun things to do at the house and within BigCanoe! The pool/beach/ kayaks/paddleboats were fantastic. And the rock slide was the most fun this grandma has had in ages! Maybe I missed it but I didn’t realize those amenities were $20 per person per day. They were worth it, but it’s good to be aware of!

It was lovely. Very welcoming and cozy cottage with beautiful views. Very clean and lots of space. Great location within Big Canoe. Close to beach club and trails. Neighborhood was very quaint. Lots of birds to watch. We saw a fox and a wild turkey as well.

We had such a great experience at Bear Pause. The cottage was beautifully decorated and had a great layout. Everything was in perfect working order. Our only regret is that we had such a short stay. My husband and I talked about doing a longer vacation in the mountains next time- we would absolutely choose Bear Pause again!

10/10

We had a wonderful time at Bear Pause. It's a charming little cottage with the perfect amount of space for 2 adults and 2 kids (7 and 9). We lived hanging out on the different decks and relaxing in the swinging chair. It was clean and comfortable and in a great location. It was nice being in a little neighborhood - personally, we would have felt isolated in one of the cabins in the woods. We'll definitely be back!!

I booked this rental for a 5 day trip from Texas and we got so much more than we were betting on. The views, the amenities and the location were beyond perfect. We had a great view from any of the 3 decks and plenty of space. Ended the week wonderfully by getting engaged! We will definitely be back and are even considering the area for our wedding.

This place was perfect for our family. My three year old loved the nearby trails, the Wildcat pool area, and the beautiful hammock swing on the screened in porch. We ate all of our meals outside, since the weather was lovely. The four legged fur-babies loved the hikes and sunning on the back deck. There was plenty of space, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook.

After a crazy year, we needed a quick getaway. Bear Pause Cottage was exactly what we were looking for. The cottage had everything we needed including a ping pong table and games. The Big Canoe community is amazing! We will definitely come back.

We loved our stay! Big Canoe is a gorgeous neighborhood and the cottage was perfect for us. We walked 8 miles on the trails in Big Canoe and then to the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail the next day. We enjoyed the Fainting Goat Winery after the hike. In Jasper, we saw one of our favorite musical artists, Sam Burchfield eating dinner and he was so kind to spend a few minutes talking to us. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. I enjoyed yoga on the lower screened in porch and dinner and coffee on the upper porch. It felt very private, even though you have neighbors. We loved listening to the birds while sitting on the deck. Great weekend and we hope to visit again!

We lived our stay in Big Canoe. We lived in this amazing community for 18 years so it was just like coming home. This is a great location within Bug Canoe. Centrally located. I am 70 so the stairs were steep leading to the master bedroom and there is a step down just as you open the bedroom door. That is just for information. Our day was perfect.

This was our third time to Big Canoe and it was just absolutely wonderful! This home was very spacious and had lots of great features! only complaint that there is like one dish towel. Big Canoe is not somewhere you go on vacation and go out to eat all the time, you do lots of cooking there! so my only suggestion would be some more dish towels for the guests! The home was well cleaned and taken care of. The driveway is also flat which is great and hard to come by in that area!

This is a great property. Six of us went over Christmas and had a wonderful time! The beds were comfy, beautiful views of the mountains from every room and the fireplace was lovely. The rental company was extremely helpful. We didn’t know how to light the fireplace and the handyman came out immediately to show us. We went ice skating in Spring Hill, had dinner at a beautiful winery in dohlonega and went to amicacola falls. Big canoe has plenty of hiking trails. I highly recommend this property!!!

The Bear Pause house in Big Canoe is a great family house to enjoy all that Big Canoe has to offer. The house is clean and well appointed. All communication and processes were easy to follow. Only thing we didn't like was the water pressure in the showers is very low but maybe that's a Big Canoe issue overall, not sure.

We had a great time at the cabin. It was a functional space and well stocked with everything we needed. The ping pong table was a hit with my kids. The only complaint I have was there was black dog hair everywhere and trash on the patio where the ping pong table was. Tje screen was not done so the ping pong balls kept rolling off the patio and into the woods. There was also something sticky on the floor in the kitchen when we arrived and ants all over. We wiped the floor and wiped up all the ants.

Cottage is small footprint on 3 levels: main level is kitchen, dining, living, half bath, deck, screened porch. Lower level is laundry, screened porch and 2 BR with shared bath with tub/shower combo. Upper level is master BR with bathroom w/shower. Full kitchen is open to living and dining and is well equipped: large fridge, electric range, toaster oven, small microwave, both Keurig and drip coffee makers, electric kettle, blender, juicer, Brita pitcher, starter supplies of dish detergents, laundry pods, trash bags, paper towels, coffee filters. Plenty of dishware and silverware and even plastic plates/bowls/cups/utensils for kids. Pantry with room for your things. Bedrooms are furnished with dressers and side tables and large closets. Bed linens are good quality and beds are firm but comfortable and attractively made up. Ceiling fans have separate wall switches for light and fan. Full sized washer and dryer on lower level. Gated, upscale, quiet community about half hour from nearest towns, but grocery at main entrance and Dollar General at north gate. Streets are narrow and can be steep. No motorhomes or motorcycles. Houses in this neighborhood are close together with negligible yard space and short, tight 2-car-only driveway but ample decks and porches and a feeling of privacy. Extra parking is a couple of streets away from this home, as is a playground and other amenities. Rental agency is communicative and responsive.
