Description
Cozy up in your lovely 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom chalet in the beautiful Big Canoe Community in Dawsonville, Georgia (home to the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame). With space to sleep up to 6 guests, Laughing Fox is perfectly sized for a fun family vacation to the lake or a weekend with friends in the mountains. This charming home is outfitted with all you need for a great stay in North Georgia, including the comforts of home, entertainment, cozy spaces, and beautiful, lush surroundings.
This secluded escape is close to the amenities of Big Canoe while still being tucked away from it all. You’ll be perched among the trees as you stroll the deck for some fresh air, cozy up in front of the wood-burning fireplace, stream your favorite shows with Netflix on the big screen TV, whip up meals in the full kitchen, or toss some burgers on the grill.
While the outside of Laughing Fox offers rustic charm, the inside is modern and fresh. Natural, light colors pair with sleek appliances, elegant furnishings and decor, and lots of large windows framing the tree-studded views. Relax on the gorgeous glassed-in porch while watching TV, brew some coffee before a day on Lake Petit, or come back to just cool off with air conditioning after a summer day at the swimming pool or an afternoon exploring and hiking along the Appalachian Trail. Bedrooms are welcome retreats as well, with 1 king-size bed and 2 queen-size beds.

On cool days, get a crackling fire going in the wood-burning fireplace.
