Big Canoe Lodge

The views and layout of the house were amazing. I loved the tv area on the deck. The complete library was awesome too. Loved the house. I've been using y'all for years and this is the best property I've ever rented. Hands down.

We loved the large space and layout of the home. The decor was very detailed and the big canoe completed the look. The views of the mountains were spectacular! We spent most of our time by the outdoor fireplace staring at the gorgeous fall color view. The beds were very comfortable. We would definitely rent this place again with escape to blue ridge.

The view was incredible and we enjoyed the deck and the outdoor fireplace. Also the fire pit was a big hit. The cabin has very nice furnishings! It was very easy to get in and out both the roads and the driveway so the location was great. There was a lot of room for the whole family and we felt like we were the only people on Black Ankle Mountain.

03/19 - The house was very clean and inviting and everything you would need was available. The scenery was amazing and the outside seating areas are so relaxing. The staff was very nice and helpful from the initial phone call in December with the booking process. I was so thankful they suggested I did not drive the 12 passenger van and they were correct.

03/19 - Big Canoe was awesome! The living area and kitchen were huge with plenty of room for our group. Kitchen was also well stocked with all the items you need to cook for a large group. Bedrooms are large enough and beds were comfy. Everyone we spoke to or had personal interaction with from Escape to Blue Ridge was great! They made sure we had everything we needed or expected. We had a door that was stuck and someone was there within the hour to fix the problem.

04/16- The outdoor living room and fire pit! The house had a warm feeling that made us feel comfortable as if it was our own. The open floor plan made it feel like we were still all together even if in different parts of the house. From start to finish everything was handled perfectly. I will use your services again when returning to this area.

thank you

- Brian

04/15- Loved it! Probably our favorite (this is our 6th trip). Infact, we want to book this same cabin again this summer....BUT, the only thing and it's kinda a big thing...the air is set to not go any lower than 72, although it was cool and we didn't need it this trip....our daughter has a certain type of asthma and we must leave our air at home to 68 at all times. In the summer we'd have her with us, can this be adjusted?

- Carmen

07/15- We enjoyed the views from both the back deck and front porch. Great to relax with a cup of coffee. Loved all of the dishes, I love colorful fun dishes. Plenty of things to do even when inside on a rainy day. Decor was great. Their was enough top of the line linens and the bedroom setups were perfect for us. We had from myself, 69 year old great-grandma to youngest 18 month old and all ages in between. Great Cabin. We have shared pictures with many friends. Including my friend the bear just outside the front porch one morning. This is the third time we have rented from your company and have never had a problem. directions are great, and at Christmas when we needed wood, one call and it was delivered in an hour or so.

Cabin was fabulous. All amenities were excellent. Appliances top-notch, views spectacular. There was a leak in the dehumidifier before we arrived, had been repaired but downstairs carpet should probably be replaced soon. Beds very comfortable. Staff was very helpful with info, directions, etc. I want to especially thank Kathy, and Denise (if I omit anyone, I apologize in advance). They were so helpful and supportive when I was in the midst of a medical work-up from previous cancers. Thankfully, that was a false alarm and made my week on Black Ankle mountain that much more enjoyed.

- Mary

09/15- The view was so much better than pictures & description. The privacy was great. The floor plain of the home was fantastic. The homes furniture & decorations had a nice mountain feel. There were French touches and some items of sophistication which gave a really nice balance to the carved bears & casual mountain pieces. Home was picked for the king master bed & brouquce mirow over the fire place and we were not disappointed. For the price having the steam shower & sauna was delightful. The quality & size of living room TV was a nice surprise. We were treated well, all questions answered, all problems resolved quickly. The quality of towels, bed linens, bath supplies, and atmosphere set upon our first entering the home showed a level of excellence we appreciated. Enjoyed the information provided by your companies emails before and after our visit. Thank you for your professional team who contributed to our enjoyable stay.

09/17- The cabin was very spacious and the attention to detail in the decor was amazing. It felt very homey for such a big space. There were throw pillows galore inside all of the rooms. The gas fireplaces were a real treat. I was impressed every step of the way with the EBR team. Very professional and super quick responses. When we first went to put our garbage in the trash cans they were already full, and they had someone come out on a Saturday within the hour to empty them. Thank you for everything!
