The Overlook – Frequently Asked Questions
So, how late can I check in?
Alexis
Check-in starts at 4pm, but you can check-in as late as you like (preferably before 10pm though). However, in Big canoe the roads are very curvy and dark at night, and can be hard to navigate. I strongly suggest you arrive while it’s still daylight for your first drive. Just sayin.
What is the TV provider? Do you have live channels? What is the internet like?
Brian
Great questions Brian! We have 50mbps speed, which is enough to stream all 6 smart TVs at the same time! All 6 TVs are Roku smart TVs which have all streaming media platforms all preloaded, and a modern, simple interface to keep you from having to be frustrated while looking for your favorite shows. All TVs also have live local channels provided by DirecTV Stream which is paid for by us. Feel free to login to your favorite accounts, just don’t forget to logout! (with one exception…please don’t use your personal account on DirecTV Stream because when you log out the next guest won’t have access to our live channels without us ‘logging back in’, thanks!)
I see your policy says no pets, it that absolutely set in stone?
Dayna
Yes, it is…no pets allowed. The issue for us is more pet dander, since we have a child that is allergic. I’m a dog person also, but I can’t have any dogs right now for that reason. This policy is just easier for us to ensure that we don’t have any issues ourselves, and since we market the property as ‘no pets’ other guests will rely on that info that might have similar concerns.
What is nearby, like grocery stores, things to do, places to see?
Dejan
Great questions…So there is world famous IGA grocery about 10 minutes from the entrance to Big Canoe, as well as a Dollar General. Check out our post on our favorite things to do here. Hover over the menu option that says ‘EXPLORE’ at the top of the page…we’ve laid out some more info for you there. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of hiking, watersports, shopping, restaurants, kayaking, movies, and more.
Where’s the closest golf course to this cabin?
Crystal
Golfer, eh? Blairsville has three of them – Butternut Creek Golf Course, Old Union Golf Course, and Meeks Park Disc Golf Course (not really a golf course, I think). Ellijay has Whitepath Golf Club, and there is one in Young Harris called Brasstown Valley Golf Club. The three in Blairsville are all within 20 mins.
Can you tell me if there is Skiing anywhere near here in January?
Dani
So, I’m not a skier, but I’ve heard of three places: Scaly Mountain Outdoor Center, Ski Sapphire Valley, and Cataloochee Ski Area. Let me know if you like any of them.
Is there a TV in every room? I can’t see them in the photo
Colleen
Yes. Some of the photos are older, and we should probably put some new ones up. All of the bedrooms have Roku Smart TVs.
