Stargazer Lodge In Big Canoe

Stargazer Lodge is situated above the trees in the gated mountain community of Big Canoe. The house engulfs you in comfort the moment you walk in the front door. As you enter, you are greeted by a massive great room with a huge wall of windows and views that stretch back to Atlanta.
