About this place

Rustic Cabin with Incredible Views, Shuffleboard, Arcade

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful mountain cabin in the exclusive Big Canoe community. We are approximately 1 hour from Atlanta, but a world away. You'll have lots of activities to choose from all within Big Canoe including pools, lake beach area, canoes, rock slide, fishing, miles of hiking trails, tennis, golf, etc.! Amicalola Falls State Park and Gibbs Gardens are also within 25 minutes of the cabin if you're looking for even more options.
Looking for a vacation rental that doesn't just feel like a house in a different location? Welcome to our original Plummer Cabin--built with large vaulted ceilings, pine plank floors, and wide ceiling beams that remind you this is a true cabin experience, but with all the amenities and views you expect on a getaway vacation.

Enjoy 4 bedrooms (3 king beds), 3 baths, full kitchen, and game loft. Take in the serene outdoors from our peaceful deck that includes a screen porch, outdoor table, and seating area--complete with a propane fire pit. On a clear day, you'll be able to see the Atlanta skyline and Stone Mountain in the distance.

This is a 100% smoke-free cabin. All forms of smoking, vaping, or e-cigarettes are not allowed in or around the cabin, including decks and property.

No pets allowed. The wide-gapped original pine floors are not friendly to pets' feet & nails.

Please review House Rules in the Things to Know section for additional information.

Cleanliness is a top priority for us. All surfaces, high touch areas, and floors are thoroughly cleaned to provide you with the accommodations you deserve for your family. Rest assured knowing all linens including the top comforters and mattress protectors are washed in between guests.
