Petit Crest Villas at Big Canoe

Note: This resort has limited availability for full-week stays with check-in on Friday only.

Who says you have to “rough it” to enjoy the beauty of nature? Petit Crest Villas is a haven of creature comforts in the midst of Georgia’s unspoiled wilderness. The fitness center features a comprehensive array of activities, with a five-lane indoor pool offering lap swims and water aerobics, hot tub, cardio equipment, aerobic classes, racquetball and squash courts, indoor tennis courts, juice bar and massage therapy.

Next door to the fitness center is Lake Disharoon, a popular destination during the summer months. Here you can swim in the lake or the outdoor pools, engage in a game of beach volleyball, paddle around in a canoe or paddleboat or whiz down the waterslide. There are also locker rooms and a snack bar for your convenience.

For a tranquil day of fishing, you can cast your line in nearby Lake Petit for rainbow trout, brim, crappie, and more. Schedule a tee time at the 27-hole Sconti Golf Course, practice your serve on eight outdoor tennis courts (four clay, four lit for night play) or explore ten miles of hiking trails. Fees apply for use of certain amenities at and around the resort.

Return to your rustic pedestal Villa to relax in front of the cozy fireplace or enjoy nature and the refreshing mountain air from the peaceful porch.
