We liked being close to the North Gate, with easy in and out. We enjoyed the trails that were easily accessed near the house. The antiques that decorate the home are lovely. One of the neighbors pointed out some baby bears hanging out up in the tall trees! I recommend the Clubhouse restaurant. It was a beautiful view of the lake as we sat out on the covered porch, and the food was very good. ##### Suzy D.

The scenery was beautiful, the house was clean, and even though we didn't use the amenities we saw everything the development had to offer and we are going to look into taking another trip in a warmer season to explore the area again! ##### Nicole M.

Staying here was really nice ,But I really wish the house would’ve been more clean …seriously it needs a major deep cleaning on the outside $ inside spiderwebs where everywhere . ..Even though it was nice over all …home needs A few updates… but it definitely was big enough and I liked that we had someone there we could talk to Mrs.Debra was amazing !!!

Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Petrina B. 12 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Summer Retreat My family and I thoroughly enjoyed the McDowell property! We were looking for a reasonably price place that was an hour drive away and could comfortably accommodate 10 people and we found it. The house felt like a home away from home. It was very clean, nicely decorated and well stocked with everything that we needed from towels, extra linen, kitchen utensils, dishes and pots/pans for cooking. We spent time in the large family room downstairs watching movies and a few hours on the screened porch reminiscing about childhood memories. Big Canoe has a great fitness facility, lakes, swimming pools and wildlife (we saw several deer). We grilled on the gas grill and created great new memories for our family. My family really wanted to rent a pontoon but we waited too late to make our reservation. Be sure to book in advance if you are visiting during the summer weekends as reservations fill quickly. Lynn honored our last minute request for a late checkout since there was not a rental on the day we left. My family was so grateful as it allowed us time to have breakfast together before checkout. Booking the McDowell property and check-in was so easy. Lynn was very responsive and answered all of my questions. We loved everything about our experience and definitely would return to this property. ##### Petrina B. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dale J. 12 Sept 2024 ##### Dale J.
