30th Wedding Anniversary Family Celebration
We had a joyous time of family fun, games and special moments. This trip had two purposes, Thanksgiving and a milestone anniversary, which was enjoyed by laughing, eating and sleeping. I would recommend to anyone that comes to Big Canoe to visit the North Georgia Premium Outlet Mall which had more stores and discounts than we could have imaged!! The tribute to Papa & Grandma was one of the most special times. We must not ever take each other for granted. Thank you, Hines Family

| The weather was perfect! We loved the house for the second year in a row, as it was perfect! I don't believe we could find a more perfect fit for our family. We had so much fun and made so many memories here. Thank you a million times over for allowing us to come and enjoy your beautiful home! WE LOVE BIG CANOE! The English's and Dale's |

| This was an awesome place to hold our retreat. The screened-in porch was a perfect place to hold our association planning meeting while having the mountain beauty and the sounds surrounding us. Everyone thought the house was a great find. Thank you for an awesome experience - Stephanie |

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We all had a wonderful time! The location of the two houses was perfect for the cousins to bounce back and forth and easy for everyone to get together. Your house is beautiful and accommodated us well. We enjoyed the new country club restaurant (as per your recommendation) for dinner to celebrate my parents' 50th- the food, service and private dining room was excellent.
As my parents own the time share and visit every year, we hope to make this a regular traditional reunion. If you have any pull as to additional suggestions for facilities.
Thank you again for recommending the home next door and for always having a quick reply to any inquires we sent. Kathleen Winslow |

| If there is anyone out there planning a family reunion STOP you have found the place!!!!!! We rented mountain vista, eagles nest and treehouse lodge for our reunion and Kevin from mountain vista was the bomb. The homes are all beautiful, the staff at big canoe was outstanding, the property was breath taking,and I must also comment on Fireside restaurant as well. Take it from experience this is the only place for a vacation. Single family,2 families or the entire family. Kevin I must say thank you for everything!!!! Oh yea I do not want to forget the towels that we made for everyone to take as a memory. (Again Kevin mountain vista rental)If I can help answer anyone's questions I will. This is the only place to go and the price is great as well. Call before it is to late!! Book for next year you will have no regrets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home. It was the perfect set up for us, my sister and husband, plus 4 children in the bunk room. The porch was one of our favorite places to be, and especially loved having a fire at night out there. Being able to roast marshmallows in July was the best. We loved being able to look down at the lake and across at the mountains from all of the floors of the house. We are already planning a trip for the fall. The Ferguson's, Smyth's & Waddle's |

| Thank you for a great getaway that was so needed by all of the 12 Tennis moms in our group! It was really convenient to the Tennis Courts, fully stocked for all the meals and just a perfect weekend. The house is beautifully decorated on the inside and the view was amazing. What a wonderful home away from home. We will be back in the Spring. |

Great Family Getaway, explored the GA mountains for the first time, since moving to the South. It was snowing en route just enough to make a snowball, but melted quickly. Saturday, we hiked in the snow, spent time together as a family, visited amicalola falls, and watched football. Best time was watching the snow fall outside through the big window in the den, and spending time with the family. We loved your house, so beautifully decorated and well equipped. Thanks for making the extra effort. The Viteks

This is the first time in several years all the Moore boys have been together at the same time. I enjoyed seeing all fo them together. The children's favorite moment was seeing a waterfall especially the one at Amicalola Falls. Living in South Florida, they don't have any around their home. The house is beautiful and even with 13 people around, we had plenty of room. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We did so enjoy your home at Big Canoe, and we had everything we needed. It was a beautiful home and very well decorated. Our son and his wife loved the downstairs bedroom, and the grandchildren loved the bunk beds.
We had a fire on Christmas, and it was raining, everyone loved it, and it seemed so much more like Christmas being up in the Mountains.
Our guest from Brazil loved everything about the house, and also the Big Canoe area.
I "Thank you" for having everything so nice, and you were wonderful to work with, and will recommend the house to my friends.
Thanks, and have a wonderful New Year. |

| We had 13 ladies at Mountain Vista for our annual Stamping Christmas Card weekend. It was the perfect house for all of us. The rooms wokred out great for sleeping arrangements and we even used the top bunk beds! The house was stocked perfectly for the kitchen and the bathrooms. We appreciated all of the extra bath towels. We will definately plan to book this house again next year for our card making weekend! |

Weather was in the 70's during the week and cooled to 40's. We hiked, ate, traveled to small towns like Dahlonega, and Amicalola falls in the surrounding area, talked with family, shopped, sat around the fireplace on the porch and roasted marshmallows. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving, your house is just perfect for a family getaway. I wish I had your talent for decorating. My mom said it was one of the nicest houses she's ever seen. Its very comfortable and well-stocked. Thank you so much for sharing your house with us! Carol, Chuck & kids.

We really enjoyed Mountain Vista, and are definitely interested in making your house our new “tradition”. The openness of the living/kitchen area was great for our game playing and we even kept a nice toasty fire going for the chilly evening and watched a movie from your collection in the media room. Of course, we shopped ALL day Saturday, but yesterday we cooked a good breakfast packed and had a nice afternoon of hiking to the Upper and Lower Falls then a late lunch at the Lake Sconti Restaurant. The bedding was superb and would be the reason we keep you on our list of favorite places to stay in the mountains, so thank you we will be in touch in 2008 for our 10 year anniversary of “Shop till you Drop”.

Absolutely Perfect! Cool evenings by the fire and sunny days - food, fun, fellowship and rekindle 35 years of memories as friends. There wasn't much time to do many things because we were always at the table eating! Some great naps were had, while Andy won the card game. Watched the Bulldogs beat Florida 42-30 - WOW. You've done a beautiful job with this place, so comfortable and beautifully decorated. A+ for the outdoor fireplace in the screened porch. Is it time to eat, yet?

| The house was awesome in every way!! Perfect for 3 couples and still room for kids!! We enjoyed our stay immensely. The screened in porch with the fireplace also made it special since we could dine on out there too on that big table. The weekend was enjoyed by all ages! Thanks for a wonderful place to visit!! |

Relaxed and enjoyed golf, boating, "adult beverages", and bridge. Special time with great friends! Great meals prepared on the grill, eaten while visiting on the porch. Mountain Vista was beautiful in every detail, perfect to entertain 8 guests and all want to return in the Fall to see the leaves change. Look forward to many more good times!

Elizabeth, Mike and Jeannie joined two other families to relax with friends that moved to Dawsonville, GA. Enjoyed the view, golf, movies, swimming/sliding rock, and just sat & relaxed by the fireplace on the screen porch. The older children didn't get to come, so I hope to come again with them. We are originally from NH, coming here made me realize how much I missed the mountains. It's a lot warmer here therefore better.
Thanks for providing all the little extras that helped make this a perfect place! Large movie selection, candles, essentials that may have been forgotten and most of all the great linens. Thanks again, The Vestals.

Mountain Vista at Big Canoe far exceeded our expectations for the perfect weekend retreat! The house located in Big Canoe's beautiful Laurel Ridge was only an hour from our home and was very near all of resort's amenities; ie. the general store, gas station, post office, health center, chapel, marina, golf course, pool, restaurants and lakes.
Nine of our family members came to Mountain Vista to celebrate two special birthdays. We enjoyed wonderful food and fellowship, but also a nice round of golf and a fantastic electric boat trip on Lake Petit.
The house is beautifully decorated and has every convenience of home to include a well appointed kitchen, gas grill, charcoal grill, office with wireless DSL, printer, cable TV, many
games, golf clubs, kites, and much more. I guess the most popular place in the house for our family was the beautiful screen porch with fireplace overlooking the mountains, lake, and golf course.
Our family would highly recommend Mountain Vista for the perfect get away!! My wife and I are going back with our golfing friends in two weeks, and we can hardly wait! Many thanks to the homeowners for providing such a beautiful vacation retreat!!

Numerous pictures and descriptions can not begin to explain what a great experience we had at Mountain Vista. This home allowed the kids their own area for playing games, watching movies, while the adults started up the fireplace on the patio in the evenings, would you believe 51 degrees in July at night?
It was well furnished and had all the cookware, utensils, spices, and appliances that we have at home, preventing us from having to go to the store for any of those things. Even an office desk and chair w/ wireless DSL, printer, phone and headset allowed my husband to dial in to work, which allowed us an extra day in peace and tranquility.
We were real close to the pool, running trails, sliding rock, and fun amenities that the kids wanted to do. There was Fireworks over the lake on July 4th, and within walking distance, too. Even a small general store, post office, and gas pump are right around the corner for ice cream, or other missed/forgotten items.
We can now classify Mountain Vista our new home away from home, as we would recommend this to our family and friends to come and enjoy a hassle free laid back retreat. Thanks for everything - Kelly
