LUXURIOUS, LAKE FRONT COUNTRY FRENCH VILLA 6000 SQUARE FEET

Our extended family just spent a week at the Boyd Villa in Big Canoe with four generations present, ranging in age from 2 to 82. I am pleased to say that the descriptions and pictures in the internet listing are accurate. If anything, they don't adequately show how gorgeous the house is and what a wonderfully beautiful view there is from the patios. We were a large group looking for a place where family could gather from VA, OK, LA and FL and where we could all be together as we anticipated our parent's 60th wedding anniversary and spend a week just fellowshipping together and catching up. The Boyd Villa certainly exceeded our expectations. Everything was clean and well maintained and the kitchen was equipped with all the necessary utensils. We enjoyed being able to cook and eat our meals together in the house. Having multiple bathrooms on all three levels was very convenient and having two laundry rooms was a plus. The wireless WiFi worked and so those who wanted to stay in touch were able to. We took advantage of the amenities within Big Canoe and enjoyed swimming, canoeing, boating in the pontoon boats on the lake, hiking and visitng the children's play ground -- all without leaving the Big Canoe community. Beverly was a joy to work with and she checked in by phone during the week to make sure that we were doing ok. We are all very grateful that we found such a great place where we could be together, enjoy the beauty of nature and the peace and quiet and yet have enough activities to keep all entertained. I would certainly recommend this property.

Planning my wedding at Big Canoe and having my family stay at the Boyd Villa was a dream come true! Everything was top notch at the home and my family couldn't stop talking about what a lovely home the Boyd's have. Dealing with the owner, Beverly, was so pleasant as she was so helpful and prompt with all my needs and questions.
The house was very accommodating as everyone had their own room and bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked with anything one could need for cooking.
We will all remember and cherish our time together in this special home.

We just finished the long drive home to Texas...with each mile reflecting back on our wonderful week at Big Canoe in your beautiful and comfortable villa on Lake Petit. When I asked my two 4 year old grandsons what their favorite thing was about Big Canoe (thinking they would say the rock slide, fishing or the boat ride) they both blurted out "The bunk beds!!". How we all enjoyed your beautifully appointed and tastefully decorated home with room to spare for our growing family. All 4 of the grandchildren piled into the large lower level bath tub for a group bath each evening...such fun! Cooking in your lovely kitchen was not a chore but quite a treat. Harry and I loved the breathtaking view of the lake from your master bedroom as we adjusted the wonderful Tempurpedic bed to the perfect setting.
After staying in our home and looking at the many pictures of your attractive family...I do hope we will have the opportunity to meet one day.
Thank you so much for sharing your fabulous home with our family...we feel blessed to have been able to gather together in such a lovely setting.
