Big Canoe Cabin Featured in New York Times!

New York Times Features Our Big Canoe Cabin 

The other day I received a phone call from a woman named Bethany Lyttle inquiring about one of my little cabins we have listed in the North Georgia community of Big Canoe. Ms. Lyttle explained to me that she was a writer for the New York Times Escapes section and wanted to feature one of our Big Canoe listings as part of an article on Gated Mountain Comunities. She asked me to send about 4 pictures to her editor and gave me his email address which ended in “nytimes.com”. That’s when it all clicked in loud and clear! MY LISTING IS GOING TO BE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES!!!!!!

I was very excited and waited with bated breath to see the outcome. Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock and finally the day arrived. I tried to look it up online and found it after an extensive search. I saw my listing on 9073 Yearling Lane for $249K up there with 4 other listings around the country ranging from 1.5M to 3M!!! I worried that this adorable little 2 bedroom 2 bath weekender wouldn’t hold a candle to the other magnificent estates!! Then I got a call from my inlaws who actually saw the physical copy. They said it looked great and they’re not the type to sugarcoat. Believe it or not I still haven’t seen it but everyone else has!

Judging by our web traffic and the phone calls regarding the featured listing, I would have to say the article was a huge success for both IBA Mountain Homes and our client! Bethany Lyttle, I thank you so very much!

If anyone is out there reading this blog right now after seeing us in the NYT, please let me know. As a former Northerner I’d love to hear from you!!!

    Man the prices in Big Canoe are much better than in North Carolina, and the property taxes are much lower as well!

    Big Canoe does enjoy lower taxes and better home prices than many of the surrounding areas. It’s also worth mentioning that Big Canoe has a thriving vacation rental market.
