I thought I really would've liked this place to stay, but when I walked into the hotel to get a…read moreroom, I was very upset after I witnessed a young lady sitting in a chair that looked like she was very overheated from working. All of a sudden, all I could hear was the lady at the front desk, I believe her name was Wendy, YELLING AT HER to get up and do her job, and the young girl looked so confused as to why Wendy was yelling at her, and instead of Wendy asking if the young girl was okay, she fully YELLED AT HER AGAIN and said, "GET UP AND GO DO LAUNDRY. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING." Honestly, Wendy yelling at that young girl was wrong and out of line. You could clearly see something was wrong with the girl. I feel like if I were the manager or even the owner of that hotel, I would definitely not be happy with my employee yelling at another employee. Even if you are a manager or supervisor, it's not okay to yell at your employee like that. My family and I will not be going back. I hope that young girl is okay, and I hope Wendy doesn't do this to anyone else there. I'm sure that if Wendy did it to her, she does it to all of the employees there.

I will definitely update once we find out if we were truly refunded since we were turned away upon attempting to check in after being on the road for TWENTY hours.. However, front desk was often found empty. When it wasn't, all of the staff was crowding it gossiping. Aside from a nice view, overall the upkeep didn't seem all there. My recommendation for them to update their website and invest in more professional staff. ‍

We enjoyed the well cleaned/organized 2 bedroom loft-style accommodations, hot tub, strong wireless internet (some didn't comprehend what unplugging meant), washer/dryer, propane grill, fully functioning kitchen & appliances. All the cabins are uber dog friendly (sorry my feline friends) with providing free amenities - a large pet bed, food and water bowls, toys, treats & beach towels. There's no size, weight limits, breed restrictions, or pet deposits...where's the love for the Kats? The nearby Benton MacKaye Hiking Trail is easy to access during daylight & all pathways leading to the main road is gravel. We will be back to try another of the many cabins that the Sliding Rock Property Management offers. I strongly suggest looking at the rental terms & requirements before reserving as there are many to agree & adhere to.

Very misleading the directions we got was ridiculous we were coming from Chattanooga but their directions brought us from Atlanta. Why not just give people the physical home address with the street address and let them Google it themselves. You treat people as though they are too stupid to know how to Google the address. We had to end up asking local people where the specific road it was on was because we drove around a half an hour trying to find it with the crappy directions provided from you. It would have been so much easier if we had the house number the name of the road the house was on and let us Google it from our home. The 12 pages of fine print rules should be given to someone before all the money has been paid and they're locked into a contract they may not want to be in. Had I have read all those rules before you got my money I probably would not have agreed to it. I have cleaned hotels from Holiday inn Express to Roach motels on highway 19 in Florida. Nowhere I have worked has ever required the guest to have a checklist they're required to do. I paid an extra $200 over what the room was supposed to cost for cleaning yet my guest and I were required to strip the beds take out the trash load and unload the dishwasher.... All the cleaning staff had to do was do the laundry which consists of the sheets and the towels they apparently do not wash their comforters . So when you sit on the comforter you're sitting on whatever the last guest left behind. Their ad said lake and a mountain views all we could see were trees. Had to leave the property to see any mountains or lakes rivers anything. This was my first vacation I'm in my 60s it wasn't what I had hoped it would be. They say their dog friendly yet don't want any dog hair on the furniture the beds I brought my own blankets from home to cover all of their stuff so that my dog could be on the furniture . Not very dog friendly if my dog isn't allowed to sit on the couch or sleep in the bed with me like he would at home. Then when I try to bring this to their attention they blocked me on Facebook and ignore my emails they are not the only game in town guess I'll be checking out Big sky or somewhere else nearby there or maybe go to Gatlinburg next year. I wanted to come back to sliding Rock and rent something on the water but I'd be afraid what I would get would not match the photos they show I feel like that is false advertisement. The gas grill on the back porch I had planned on making burgers on it but they can't even bother to put batteries in it so that you can light it it had plenty of gas just couldn't light it. My roommate said it needed batteries same thing for the lanterns on the table I would like to have used them but they did not have batteries either. For what you charge your guest you could at least put batteries in stuff so that they can use it. Why show a gas grill if it is not where guests can use it. The cabin itself and all the little knick-knacks I but the photos of the outside did not match . You could have avoided this bad review buy a dressing my concerns privately but no you wanted to ignore and block me this is what happens when you choose to ignore and block your guest then I'll review I did elsewhere they basically came on there and called me a liar.

We…read morecame into town for a family reunion and pretty much everything in town was either booked or didn't accept dogs. (We brought my very well-behaved ESA pug with us) I need to add that the proprietor of this hotel reminds me of a movie character, I just don't even have the words. She's absolutely wretched. When we went to check in, we were charged $131.50 for the room (including taxes) + $50.00 for my dog. We were happy to pay that amount. THEN she swiped my card a second time without asking for a $100 (security deposit) SO - $281.50 in total for one night. We promised to not let the dog get on the beds. The "proprietor" said that if dog hair gets on the beds, she will have to throw away the sheets! (Dramatic much?) We agreed to keep the dog away from the beds, not have any guests over, and not smoke in the room and she said we would get the deposit back when we checked out. (I would like to add that we even went as far to drive to a store to purchase our dog a bed for the floor.) Our room had one queen bed and one full bed. The adjoining room with the full bed had no air at all. It was hot inside and smelled. Thankfully, the room with the queen size bed had a window unit that worked well. The carpet was discolored in several spots, we were given 1.5 rolls of toilet paper, stained towels, and I noticed burn holes on the bedspread. We tried to cool the connecting room by keeping the door propped open. My fiancé's son said he sweated all night long. The next day we made sure the room was spotless, we packed the car, and entered the office to check-out before 11. The door to the office chimes when you open it. We could hear the "proprietor" brushing her teeth and hocking loogies loudly in the side room for a few minutes. My fiancé rang the little bell on her desk, she proceeded to brush her teeth and continue to spit into the sink. It wasn't until my fiancé's phone rang that she stepped out and said, "what?!" He explained to her that we were checking out, and that we would like her to examine our room. He told her that we would like our security deposit credited in a timely manner. She flat out refused. She argued with him and came up with several different excuses as to why she couldn't go check our room, that was (conveniently) located directly above the office. I made sure to get a good video of our tidy room AND of this entire ridiculous exchange she had with my fiancé. She ended up calling the cops on us because he was CALMLY asking her to give us our security deposit back. When on the phone with 911, she said "I feel at risky!" SO, we stepped outside and waited for the responding officer. The sergeant that showed up was so kind to us. He said that he highly recommends reading Google reviews before choosing a hotel. He said that this one was notorious around town, and that he would have slept in his car instead. He apologized for not being able to get us our deposit back and he returned our room key to the office for us. Like magic, all of these signs explaining the fees were in the office now! This was a very expensive night in Ellijay. The officer asked us to not judge the town based on our stay there. We promised we wouldn't...the rest of the town is very charming. Ellijay Inn, however, is a nightmare.

Stayed here for the week this summer. The place we stayed in was awesome! I love the concept of…read morethis resort, but they could improve on a few areas: 1. Directions/signage- good luck traveling through the park. The maps they give you are very vague and don't contain all the roads. It's just very inaccurate and should be redesigned. There aren't any signs to say "canoe park" (turn left) or anything helpful for that matter. I even saw on a post for a gate name (that I had not heard of) and I later found out the gate is no longer called that. 2. General Store- completely useless place unless of want to go tubing (Summer months only). I went in thinking I would A. Get brochures or pamphlets on things to do around the resort or B. Get some eggs and milk. I was unable to do either. They had some Advil, Pepto, chips, drinks, and boiled peanuts in a crockpot. That's it! Nothing useful is in the general store and there were no brochures! Apparently they used to have a deli shop there, but it too was no longer there. 3. The woman at the recreation center was completely rude and took her job way too seriously. I wish I had gotten her name, but she was rude and told another lady coming in to workout that she needed to "wear a shirt" since she was wearing a sports bra and was going to the gym. It's just not a big deal! It's a resort, not a retail store! Nothing was said to the people who left the pool with a swimsuit and towel on. Also I called the recreation center the following day to see if they had any walking trails and I was told "we don't have in." Even though I ended up finding one at River Park. It must have been the same rude chick! The resort is very nice, lots and lots of deer! It's beautiful, with many parks. Roads are narrow and winds a lot, so I would be afraid to drive there after dark but they are well maintained. Phone service might be spotty in some areas, but everyone (other than the recreation center lady) was extremely nice, including the people that live there. Tubing is available for $20 a person at the resort. They will drop you off and pick you up along the river and everyone I talked to there was super nice, it's just a loooooong tubing ride (1.5-2.5 hours depending on water height). All in all a great place to stay, just tough for visitors trying to find their way.

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

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.

And frankly it may not be 100% safe for kids to ride as cars are zooming by irrespective of direction of traffic. There are sharp turns and hills making it unsafe. - this really is a glorified parking lot... there are maybe 10 spots up on top with 10/10 view. Rest of the spots have 2/10 view. It looks like a mountain the map, but its really not high enough to see anything.

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!
