October 2025A wonderful spot to simmer down!
Totally enjoyed my stay -- the cabin was beautifully furnished/decorated, spotlessly clean with everything in working order. Enjoyed the gas fireplace in the evenings, sitting on the screened in upper deck for morning coffee and relaxing in the hot tub at end of day. Despite the rainy weather, was able to take several hikes and enjoy the peacefulness of the woods. Be sure to get a map at the gate and ask the staff to show you the route in case your GPS takes you in crazy directions as my iPhone did because the stay at the cabin is worth it!”

October 2024Comfortable, Relaxing Retreat
Simmer Down provided an ideal setting for a quiet, relaxing retreat. Furnishings were clean and comfortable. Kitchen was well-supplied. The screen porch was my favorite place to be to read, nap, and eat. The firepit provided an exceptional atmosphere for a quiet evening. The owner was very helpful and response to any question we had was timely. The clubhouse restaurant was closed for remodeling during our stay, which meant we had limited choices nearby for eating out. We suggest stocking up and eating at home using the well-equipped kitchen. Big Canoe is a remote area and navigation can be challenging. However, the setting is worth it, whether one is a hiker, golfer, or someone who just likes the out-of-doors. Highly recommend.”
