28 Reviews of Property 307370 in Big Canoe, Georgia

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.

JIM AND BEVERLY, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR OPENING YOUR LOVELY HOME TO MY FAMILY. WE JUST SPENT THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY AT THE VILLA. MY SISTER, MARY HARRELL, AND I HAVE ALREADY DECIDED THIS WILL BE A FAMILY TRADITION, THANKSGIVING AT THE BOYD VILLA (WHENEVER IT'S AVAILABLE, OF COURSE). I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL WE CAN ALL GET TOGTHER AGAIN. I COULD GO ON AND ON, BUT WORDS CANNOT DO YOUR HOME JUSTICE. BELIEVE ME, EVERYONE, SEEING IS BELIEVING. THANKS AGAIN, AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. DENISE STEWART

There are not enough peaceful, fabulous, spectacular or extraordinary words in the English language to describe my experience at the Country Villa. To say it was serene and perfect would NOT do it justice. The online photos, while beautiful do NOT adequately describe the beauty and detail of the home. The bedding was WHEW! I've NEVER slept so good. The mattress and the linen were magnificent in their own way. 2 Washers/Dryers, 2 Full Kitchens, The kids' room have two extra beds under the bunk beds. The view of Lake Petit CAN NOT be described by any human on this planet. From this point on, no matter what, there is only ONE home that I will rent in Big Canoe Georgia and that is the Boyd Villa. And last, but certainly not least, the Boyds are real live angels. No doubt about it. I looked in every closet for their extra set of wings, but did not find them. I don't know where they hide them, but i know they have them somewhere. Ms. Beverly sounds like that family member you love to hear talk. EXTREMELY kind and pleasant. I LOVE them. They are part of my family forever. And Mr. Boyd, GOOOOOOO DAWGS...sic 'em! Class of '94!!!!!!

Our family visited the Boyd Villa at Big Canoe July/2008. The house was beautiful with wonderful views. The house was perfect for our family. The golf course was great. The rock slide at the pool and fitness center was exceptional. Everyone enjoyed the hiking as there were different levels ranging from easy to hard. We enjoyed your beautiful and comfortable home.
Thanks to Beverly and Jim for a great vacation.

Dear Beverly and Jim:

Thanks so much for making your beautiful home available to us for celebration of my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful time. The house is marvelous, spacious, oh so comfortable. All the furnishings, linens, and kitchen accessories were of excellent quality. The entire weekend was a delight for our large crowd. We had to draw straws taking turns sitting in Jim's chair in the family room. My 90-year-old grandmother is very very picky . . . her comment on inspecting your home was "Hmmmph! These people don't miss a trick!" High praise from Nanny.

Thanks again.

Dear Jim and Beverly,
We want to again thank you for going above and
beyond the role of homeowners renting their home.

When our family arrived in Blue Ridge to find the
home we rented already occupied (23 of us, mind
you) we thought our vacation was being stolen from
us. We thank God that he led us to your property
and that he spoke to your hearts and you let us rent
your home with only a day's notice. We know there
was extra effort to get your home ready for us yet
you were willing to make that effort. So many in
today's world would have seen our request as
inconvenient and would not have been as gracious
as you were. Our vacation was not only restored to
us but also enhanced by your beautiful home and
the wonderul Big Canoe community. We were truly
blessed by our time there and looking back we can
see God's hand in giving us what we needed. He is
a generous God and you are his generous servants.

To anyone considering this property to rent I say
you cannot find a more welcoming and luxurious
home and you certainly cannot find more giving
and caring homeowners. I hope you have the
privilege of meeting them.
