Enjoyed our fall visit to Sky Valley. This house met most of our needs with a large group. Bedrooms are roomy and bathrooms updated. Outdoor fire pit was fun and decks have plenty of seating. Living areas were adequate but on smaller side.

Just perfect for us.

This home was perfect for ten adults: plenty of room, very adequate kitchen, comfy beds. The host was responsive. The location was well situated for our needs and had a lovely view of a valley. We hope to rent it again.

Annual Book Club Trip

Six of us enjoyed our stay. Plenty of room to spread out. Also areas in the house to hangout. We enjoyed our time chilling in the house but also appreciated the nearness to Clayton, GA for shopping and restaurants. Mud Creek hike is a must. Already talking about rebooking for next year.

Great getaway in the mountains!

We LOVED our stay! We had two families that were able to stay in this great, spacious house. It had everything that we needed, espcially space! The backyard and fire pit were a great surprise. The home was clean and well equipped! Sky Valley had plenty to do and great amenities. We hope to be back next year! Highly recommend!

Great house

Stayed at this house in Sky Valley with 3 other friends to escape the Florida heat for a few days and play golf in the North Georgia mountains. Perfect for large groups due to the two levels of living areas, decks, and bedrooms. Everything you can think of is provided by the host. All you need is to bring your group or family. A very nice view and quiet location with easy access. Have stayed in many rentals and VRBO properties in the past but this one is the best. Would definitely stay at this property again!

Much needed reprieve!

This home was clean and comfortable in a quiet beautiful setting. We are from Western North Carolina and Helene victims and needed a mental reprieve. The owners were so kind to accommodate us with our animals. The home had everything we needed. Owner responded quickly and great with communicating. I would definitely recommend this one and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Thank you!

Fantastic home!

My family has been coming to sky Valley for the past five years in the summer. This home was by far the best we’ve ever had every one of us loved it. I’ve never seen a house that was stocked so well, all the little touches were wonderful. The house was neat and very clean and the beds were super comfortable. We love the area and there’s a lot to do. I can’t say enough good things about this home and communication with Steven was quick, he was very responsive to a minor problem with the pool pass.Can’t wait to come back again next year thank you again, Steven.

There are properties that the pictures overstate the conditions of the house, but this was quite the opposite. This rental was roomy, clean, easily accessible, and convenient. The host was also communicative and helpful! I would stay here again, no questions asked, and that to me is the sign of a great place!
