We stayed at Coyote Bluff cabin (through VRBO) The property is so high up in the mountains that the…read moredrive to it is steep and dangerous. Our plan was to check into the cabin and then go back out to get some groceries, but we were so shaken up when we arrived that we decided to leave for fear that we would lose courage to make it back to the road safely. The most difficult part was after entering the gate. Parts of the ~ 1 mile long extremely narrow gravel drive were so steep that we lost traction several times and we were afraid of slipping off. No guardrails, no hint of a shoulder. We did enter the property and looked around. There were dead bugs inside the cabin and a live hornet at one of the windows. A fallen hornets' nest with agitated hornets prevented us from walking on the outside porch. The inside was musty and smelled like old laundry. There was a couch cover with a burnt hole in it. The actual view from the cabin was not what was pictured in the photos. The fire pit was overgrown. We were so dissatisfied with the property that we turned around and left, willing to forfeit payment altogether. Thankfully, the property manager offered us another property to apply the money to, but we are having problems trying to find one that does not include a treacherous mountain drive.

We rented from this company 7/30/2024 to 7/31/2024 Upon…read morearrival to the cabin after 5:00PM we noticed the porch area was littered with previous renters belongings; deflated inner tubes and rafts, water shoes, bug spray, etc. We tried to access the key box and the code seemed not to work, after multiple attempts we tried to call the emergency number but there is no cell service. We attempted to connect to the cabin wi-fi in order to make a call but the password that was provided was not the right password. After several more attempts on the key box it finally opened and we were finally able to access the cabin. We went inside and found an expected rustic cabin, what we didn't expect was the dried cheese left on the coffee table and crumbs left on the kitchen counter. After being on the road 9 hours to get there we just decided to deal with it, set our bags by the door and did a quick cleaning and wipe down. While cleaning another oddity we noticed was there are no curtains or blinds on any window in the cabin, including the large window in the bathroom... Once we were satisfied with our cleaning we started to make some dinner as it started to rain outside. We started hearing and feeling large bangs on the roof, unsure of what they were I went out on the porch and noticed the noise was coming from branches of all sizes falling from the trees and hitting the cabin. As I went back in the banging got worse, I said to my wife lets get in the truck and get out from under the trees until the weather passes. As we were grabbing our keys, wallets, purse, etc. we heard a loud cracking noise followed by a huge bang that shook the entire cabin so hard it knocked pictures and decorations off the walls. Looking out we saw a huge tree had fallen onto the cabin. Fearing for our safety we ran out to the truck to leave. On the way out we saw the tree had fallen on the back of the cabin and was hanging over the front porch, once outside, with winds blowing and branches still falling we also saw that the chimney had been knocked off the roof. We jumped in the truck and headed out from under the trees. Once we regained cell service my wife called Dominic, he initially apologized for the situation and stated that he would "clear the charges from our stay" as it was now not safe to stay in the cabin. This was at 6:12pm, we had been in the cabin less than 90 minutes. We headed to Blue Ridge, GA and luckily were able to find a hotel. None of the linens or beds in the cabin had been touched. After the storm blew through, we decided to go back to get our bags and the belongings we had left. While at the cabin we saw the damage and took pictures. We also went ahead and cleaned up the dishes that we had been using to prepare dinner, took all the food we had brought and put all the garbage in one can inside as the outside can was now blocked by the tree and the power lines and put he key back in the lockbox. We tried to do everything we could as per the departure guidelines for the cabin. I called Dominic back to give him a report of the damages but he did not answer so I instead texted the pictures to him and let him knew that we had cleaned up the best we could. The next day I tried to follow up with Dominic again and verify that the fees would be refunded, he did not answer or return my calls. When we finally arrived back home I found a message on my VRBO account (attached in the pictures) that said we were refunded everything but $145 for the cleaning fee. I replied asking if Dominic would consider refunding the cleaning fee as we were in the cabin less than 90 minutes and because of the damage the cabin would need to be cleaned regardless once the repairs were completed. Dominic offered only to reduce the cleaning fee by $45 *if* I would not leave a bad review. Cliff Notes: I paid $360.94 for 2 nights and was unable to stay any nights but was only refunded $215.94. Dominic and North Georgia Vacation Spots does not follow through with the promises spelled out on their cabin listings or told to you directly. It seems they only want your money and not your safety. Customer service is not their priority. Beware of this company, there are many better option in the area.

The only thing I did was disinfect, not that I has to cause everything was super clean but, my OCD kicked in. Anyone that goes to these cabins will definitely enjoy themselves.

I will definitely be setting up my next trip within a couple weeks. I RECOMMEND THAT EVERYONE BOOK YOU A GET AWAY ASAP. Thank you for such a GREAT STAY.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel obligated to share our experience so other families can make an…read moreinformed decision. Our family stayed at Timber Trail Lodge, managed by Blue Sky Cabin Rentals, expecting a relaxing vacation. Instead, we experienced multiple safety issues, the most serious of which involved a loaded handgun being discovered inside the cabin. On Friday evening, our 8-year-old son came out of the bathroom and said, "I found something that scared me." He later told us he was tempted to touch it because he had heard a noise and thought it might belong to a "bad guy." Thankfully, he remembered the gun safety lesson taught by his school resource officer: if you ever find a gun, don't touch it, leave the area, and immediately get an adult. That decision may have prevented a tragedy. We went into the bathroom and discovered a handgun on a low shelf that was easily accessible to a child. My husband secured it so our children could not access it while we called for help. We immediately contacted Blue Sky Cabin Rentals' after-hours emergency line. The representative was apologetic but told us she didn't know how to handle the situation. We informed her that we were calling local law enforcement because a loaded firearm had been found inside the cabin. A police officer responded, took an official report, and confirmed the firearm was loaded. According to the police report, it was a Taurus PT-111 G2 with a magazine containing 12 rounds. We expected this to trigger an immediate response from management. Instead, no manager contacted us that evening. Aside from a follow-up call the next morning asking whether we had contacted the police, we were left to deal with the situation ourselves. My husband ultimately had to contact management again on Monday to discuss everything that had occurred. Unfortunately, the firearm was not the only issue with this property. The cabin appeared to have been inadequately cleaned before our arrival. We found dirty underwear and socks left under the beds from previous guests, excessive dust, and dead bugs in closets and beneath furniture. There were also several maintenance and safety concerns: * A nail protruding from a dining chair punctured a family member's skin. * The third-story catwalk railing overlooking the main living area felt loose and raised concerns about fall safety. * One of the beds collapsed under normal use. * We had no hot water on our first night. The company eventually issued a partial refund, and we appreciate that acknowledgment. However, a refund does not change the seriousness of what happened. As parents, we keep thinking about how differently that evening could have ended if our son had acted on his curiosity instead of remembering the safety lesson he had been taught. We are incredibly proud of him and forever grateful to his school resource officer for teaching children what to do if they ever encounter a firearm. We are sharing this review because families deserve to know about our experience before deciding whether to book this property. We sincerely hope Blue Sky Cabin Rentals reviews its cleaning, inspection, maintenance, and emergency response procedures so that no other family experiences what ours did.

We rented Cherry Log Sky Bear for a mini vacay. The cabin itself has mad potential. It's very small…read moreand quaint. Perfect for our family of four to relax and rejuvenate. However there were a few hiccups: 1) The master bedroom has a ladybug infestation. I chalked it up to season and Blue Sky being unaware until I picked up the visitor journal and noticed several before us also complained. Shame on you guys for not fixing already. 2) Secondary bedroom has a cute bunkbed. Unfortunately the top bunk is not able to be used because the frame has a major split. Very dangerous. 3) The driveway/parking is also very dangerous. We were told we could not enter neighbors property but there is not possible way to enter and leave without doing so. My husband is a farmer and is very use to maneuvering vehicles/equipment but found himself cussing every time we arrived or left. 4) We were issued 4 towels for 4 people for 5 days AND there was no detergent to wash towels. 5) Lastly, the hot water heater gave out after two showers (short showers). This left 1-2 people taking cold showers. As I said, the cabin has potential but the rental company or the owners need to do a better job keeping up with the issues!i

Never EVER book your vacation with this company! I tried to leave a review--THEY sent me after our…read morerecent stay at the Blacker House, Manistee, Michigan, but they deleted the entire thing! They only left my title and one star. This company is a total scam. They have photos of the property that only resemble the property itself. Let me explain that we had a family reunion in Manistee on the 4th of July, and had booked it we THOUGHT through VRBO, almost a year in advance 2025 for 8.5K however once I received the email, I merely followed the link. Also note, Manistee gets booked solid annually every year since the early 1930's so when we arrived and saw the condition of the place we had ZERO options to stay elsewhere. We had a family reunion. We had to try and make the best of it. On VERBO photos show VACASA as the managing partner with pristine manicured lawn and garden all around the property. They had a strict no smoking rule on the entire property as well as strict no partying rule. The photos showed staged beds-all with beautiful quilts and pillows. The large dining table with a lovely table cloth. When we arrived the lawn was ankle deep and the garden overgrown to the extent it looked like a haunted house. The garbage close to the entrance in multiple garbage pails were over flowing and flies were infesting and just everywhere as we walked up to the entry. We unlocked the door, there were two entry doors, one knob came off. The floor and stairs were filthy. There was actual dried poop in the only downstairs toilet with various implants stuck in it. The dining table was broken, no tablecloth. The bathrooms staged, not cleaned. When I picked up the silicone hair trap in one tub the sludgy hair mass that hung from it was gag producing. Two beds had nothing but sheets. Nothing else. Curtains were grimy, filthy and on bent temporary rods. When we attempted to call for help--good luck. You do not reach anyone local who owns the property or who cares for the property. You just reach their customer service that gives platitudes and do nothing. When I asked for only a partial refund they gave me --get this $250 cleaning fund back. YEAH THANKS! It was NEVER CLEANED, of course they had to give me my cleaning fund back! They flatly refused any other credit for compensation for FIXING THEIR TOILET FULL OF FECES OURSELVES! Or for CLEANING THE HOUSE OURSELVES! Or for not being able to use the yard to play all the games we brought because it was so overgrown! What we saw in the ad, what we paid for was NOTHING like what we got! BEWARE OF THESE SCAM ARTISTS!

I left in the morning for work and when I got home, I immediately had to make a cocktail and walk around looking at my place feeling Very proud. This mess I've been in with my dog was Crazy Crazy Clean! Now I noticed something that I forgot to ask them to clean (my fault) and mentioned it. Next morning they were here to even take care of that at no extra cost, they just wanted me to be completely satisfied. I'm not on any social media and I'm old school but I felt like I needed to give a big thumbs up to these gals and guys for actually doing what they say. It was worth every penny and I will be using them going forward. Don't let a few bucks take you down a rabbit hole, call these people, there is absolutely no way you will be disappointed. Brian
