The Jeep Trail

By djelliott999 | December 8, 2007

The community of Big Canoe features numerous amenities.  Many are exactly waht you would expect from a gated community - 27 holes of golf, tennis, fitness center, restaurants, clubhouse, etc., but there are a many hidden treasures scattered throughout the natural landscape of Big Canoe!

    [...] Trout Lily Trail is a hidden paradise in Big Canoe because of its close proximity to the Jeep Trail, and its lack of traffic. Wildlife abounds with frequent deer, turkeys, and even foxes are common visitors in this area. Most of the homes on Trout Lily are weekenders too, but the full timers are quiet, friendly, and unobtrusive. This is a street where walkers and neighbors stop to shoot the breeze if you are outside simply enjoy the neighborhood. It’s a bit of a drive from the North gate but still only about 6 minutes from the center of Big Canoe. The ambitious can literally walk to the pool via the Jeep Trail in about 20 minutes. Come see it for yourself if you don’t believe it! To see more of this cozy north Georgia cabin, visit us at IBA Mountain Homes or contact Karin Elliott at (770) 655-4303.  Karin can be reached via email as well. [...]
