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

Our experience with Blue Sky Cabin Rentals was absolutely unacceptable, and I would never recommend…read morethis company to anyone. The one star is only because we eventually gained access to the cabin--otherwise, it would be zero. On our first night, the keypad battery on the cabin door lock died, and we were locked out with groceries and a hot dinner that quickly turned cold. We called the after-hours number, but it took nearly 45 minutes for anyone to get back to us. To make matters worse, the cabin had a lockbox with a backup key, but Blue Sky had previously given us the wrong code--so that option was useless until they finally responded. When I spoke with management, their attitude was dismissive. I was told, "these things happen sometimes." My response was that if this is a known issue, batteries should be checked and changed more regularly to prevent guests from being stranded outside. She asked if I wanted them to change the battery the next day. We said no, since we now had access to the key and preferred to use that for the rest of our stay. Shockingly, when we returned later that day, someone from the company had entered the cabin without our consent and changed the battery anyway--directly against my request. This was extremely unsettling, as we had no idea what was done in our absence with all of our personal belongings inside. It is completely unacceptable for a company to enter a rental property without guest approval. After checkout, management promised to call me, but instead I received a call the following week. Their resolution? A measly 15% off our next stay--assuming we would ever rent from them again. When I explained that we would not, I was told that's all they could offer and to "have a great day." We rent vacation homes 4-5 times a year all over the U.S., and we have never had such a terrible experience. The lack of professionalism, accountability, and basic customer service from this company is shocking. There are far better options in the area--Escape to Blue Ridge, for example, has always been magnificent. We only booked through Blue Sky because we liked the look of this particular cabin, but never again. Save your money, your time, and your peace of mind--do not book with Blue Sky Cabin Rentals.

The wrap-around deck provided a nice scenic view while nestled deeply in the wooded forest of N. Georgia.

The nearby Benton MacKaye Hiking Trail is easy to access during daylight & all pathways leading to the main road is gravel.

There was a nice view off the large balcony. We had a huge hot tub in the center of the downstairs level surrounded by glass. However, it was not in working order. There is a stacking washer dryer, but it is teensy weeny, and in the bedroom, and sounds like major jack hammer highway construction, seriously. Additionally, the indoor community pools were closed. The outdoor firepit was being used as a dog pooping area, and there were about 50 piles. There's hiking trails in the area as well as some nice towns besides Ellijay to visit in the vicinity, like Blue Ridge and Jasper. Fyi, February seems to be a rainy month.

Peggy even called our first night to ensure everything was perfect. They sincerely want you to have a great experience. Both cabins we have dealt with are impeccably furnished. This was our second time this year renting through Dragonfly and both experiences were smooth and pleasant. Our first rental was the original "Dragonfly" cabin on the Cartecay River, but this time we carried guests and needed a little more room. "Bearfoot" provided that and more. I honestly can't think of any way to improve Bearfoot Summit. Dragonfly Cabin Rentals (Peggy and Darrell) will be our "go-to" source for cabins in the Ellijay area.

We go the mountains and rent a cabin each winter to do our yearly planning retreat. We have three fireplaces at home and know how to build a fire without causing damage. The cozy fire is the centerpiece of our planning meetings. In the hot summer months, it would not be an issue, but having a fire while in a mountain cabin during the winter is a must-have amenity for us. As long as the competing rental cabins allow it, we will have to go elsewhere.
