If I could give 10 stars I would! My family and I stayed at the Ellijay, Bluejay Cabin and it was a dream come true! Magnificent! Incredible! It was just breathtaking how beautifully done this cabin was. Everything we could ever need or want was included here. The views are absolutely breathtaking. The owners were so thoughtful about every detail of this cabin and we have stayed at many cabins over the years. It’s no coincidence that it’s always booked up. The game room was used everyday my kids loved it so much to do. I tell all my family and friends about this location. I can’t wait to go back again.

This is a review of Hemlock Creek Cabin. My wife and I stayed there Feb 13-16. I'll start with the good. The cabin was clean and is in a good location (20 mins away from both Ellijay and Blue Ridge). The kitchen was well supplied. The deck overlooks the creek which runs right beside of the cabin and provides a wonderful and peaceful view with the sound of running water audible even when inside with the doors shut. The bathrooms were clean with ample space for our toiletries. The cabin is relatively easy to find and has a concrete drive for parking. We did not use the hot tub so I can't comment on that. Now for the not so good. We woke up at 230am on our last night there to find out that the power was out due to a passing storm. Our cabin was pitch black dark and cold. I could see that neighboring cabins still had lights on so I assumed that our cabin must be the only one without power. With overhead power lines running through an extremely wooded area, it would have been easy for a limb to have come down and taken out the power to the cabin. I decided i needed to contact someone regarding this but since the power was out, we also had no WiFi or cell phone service. So, I started driving in the middle of the night in a storm in an attempt to find a place where I could get a cell phone signal. I drove all the way to Blue Ridge with no success despite over sixty attempts to call the 24/7 Blue Sky help number. I was finally able to contact the help number once I was about a half mile from the cabin on my way back. I was told that there was a power outage in the area and that the reason neighboring cabins still had power was because they had backup generators. Of course my first question was why doesn't our cabin have a backup generator? I was simply told that they would pass that along to the owner. While no one can control the weather, having a backup generator in that area in my opinion is a must for safety and liability reasons. My wife and I got very little sleep that night and we were both put at risk due to the outage. While Blue Sky personnel were very polite, there was no offer of any kind of compensation. Again, you can't control the weather but it certainly wasn't mine or my wife's fault. The situation was not of our making and could have been avoided had the owner installed a generator. Other issues which ranged from simply annoying to not good at all included the fact that the cabin was drafty. There was a significant gap underneath the entry door which allowed cold air to come through (photo included). It was a cold and windy weekend and the wind audibly howled at times as it whipped through the gap in the door. You could also feel cold air coming through the light switch located beside the entry door. While the upstairs loft included a nice king sized bed, one of the support slats popped out from underneath the bed twice while we were sleeping on it (and no, we are not overweight). I had to get up in the middle of the night twice in order to fix the slat. The game room, which apparently doubles as a place for dogs as it has a dog bed and feeding dishes included, was lacking. It included a dart board that was completely worn out with the center cork missing and darts with feathers that kept falling out (pics included). The foosball or soccer table had a golf ball for a ball. There were no actual foosballs with the table (pic included). One last complaint regarding the firewood that was available. They left a good starter supply of firewood along with a lighter. The only problem is that there was no kindling or fire starter included so it was impossible to start a fire our first night. I rectified that the next day by stopping at Walmart for some kindling. I guess I could have gone outside and retrieved some small sticks to start the fire except it happened to be a wet, rainy weekend. Final positive feedback is that ALL of these issues are fixable. Many of them can be easily and cheaply fixed. But until these issues are addressed, I would not recommend staying at this cabin.

Over the weekend, my Family and I stayed at Water’s Edge cabin. We were very excited because it was my Father’s birthday and we finally got our entire family together. We booked with Blue Sky cabin rentals for a weekend getaway. Upon arriving the cabin looked nice from the outside and was decorated nicely on the inside. However, the place was not clean at all. In the window seals and around the floors were bugs lying everywhere. They had bug traps in almost every corner full of bugs but failed to clean them up before renting it out.
We reserved this cabin well in advance which is more than enough time to make sure that it is clean before guests arrive.
There was dog hair on every bed, couch and rugs. Which was an issue because my sister has allergies. Not to mention the house smelled of urine. I understand that they allow dogs but should make sure that it’s cleaned up afterwards. It was plain to see that the “cleaners” did not do their job at all.
Then to top it off the pool table was a mess. The railings were folded down and the holes would pop out of place. You can tell that the owners tried to put it back together using caulking. This was one of the main reasons for booking because majority of my family are huge pool players. Also, some of the furniture had big pieces missing.
The downstairs heater did not work, and the shower floor in one the bathrooms had a large crack in it. Needless to say we made the best of this trip but I would not recommend staying here unless they fix these things. It’s very unfortunate because it has great potential and would be a very nice place to stay. The lake in the front was nice as well and the cabin had a great view. But to say the least, We will not be booking this cabin again. We contacted management and the call went to voicemail so we left a message. No one contacted us nor tried to come and fix the issues. Total Bummer!!!

Truly cannot say enough great things about Blue Sky. I had trouble with my card upon our initial booking and the team was super quick to help resolve the situation and everyone was very friendly and pleasant to work with. After booking we revived an email offering add on services so we did choose to add one the romance package as we were there to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. The set up was lovey. The cabin was seasonally decorated for fall and sooo cute. The whole experience was phenomenal, we do not have one single complaint and truly cannot wait to return. We've already recommended Blue Sky to friends and will continue to do so!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Cherry Log Sky Bear with Blue Sky Cabin Rentals. The place was spotlessly clean and fresh--no musty smells anywhere. All the appliances were clean and new and in great working order. The hot tub was clean and already heated and ready for our arrival. And the views--the VIEWS were spectacular! The bed was firm but not worn. And we were right between Elijay and Blue Ridge, so it was easy to get to all the places we wanted to visit. The only item of concern was the drive. The entire road to the cabin was okay except that last steep, short downhill to the cabin. Coming in wasn't bad, but going out was a little scary, and I wouldn't want to attempt it in bad weather. Fortunately, we had great weather the entire week. Blue Sky Cabin Rental's service was excellent as well. The first cabin we rented was cancelled by the owner, and Blue Sky called us right away and sent me an email with several other cabins to choose from for the same rate--even though some of them actually rented for more money. They turned what could have been a disaster into a very positive experience. Will definitely rent with Blue Sky again. I've attached pics of the view from the deck.

This Cabin was absolutely beautiful! It fit our huge family like a glove! We had so much fun in this area! The doors in main area didn't shut well and would come open on their own. Lock all doors at night. We did find a dirty diaper under the basement couch 😬. Even with those two things will stay there again!

Last week I booked a cabin on the Cartecay River. The morning I was leaving I got a call that the pipes had frozen. Blue Sky sent me some replacements, I settled with Cherry on Top. It was a great little cabin and was set up to meet all my needs. I have been using Blue Sky for several years now and their cabins are always clean and very consistent. Would definitely book with them again.
