Stopped in on our wine tasting tour. They are one of the oldest wineries here in north Georgia. Took the wine making tour with Bob the owner. Very cool. Learned some new stuff. Wines are mostly dry with a couple of whites and sweet wines. Everything we tasted was delicious. Our fav was the Jacked up red and the cab sav. A great spot with some very friendly people. read more

It is unfortunate I need to even leave this review, but the lack of professionalism from this place has been astounding. First let me address the extreme bug infestation in the Cats Meow cabin. This was never addressed. We ended up having to deal with it on our own. Please be aware that these large insects were coming out of the faucets in the property. However, the issue here is this - I had initial dates booked here that ended up needing to be switched due to my Grandmother unexpectedly passing away. I called into Paradise Hills and the front desk gal adjusted the dates to what I stated, or so I thought, during funeral arrangements I simply did not have time or mental capacity to make sure they did their job correctly. Turns out they charged us for an extra night. The owner has since blocked my emails from coming through trying to get the night refunded, or resolve the disgusting bug/roach problem in the Cats Meow cabin. The lack of unprofessionalism from the owner and refusal to do anything regarding the bugs while on property, then charging an extra night we never asked for, refusing to refund it, then blocking my email to avoid the issue is insane. Steer clear from this place unless you want to be met with rude owners and sleep with roaches that you'll end up having to pay to kill and clean up yourself. Mind you, I've not been rude to Bob, or his staff, I'm simply trying to correct their mistake and never wanted to leave a poor review for the place. I'm simply trying to get refunded for the one night they charged extra for, which is basic customer service for their mistake, especially given the extreme bugs coming out of upper and lower faucets in the property and spewing into the common areas. As you can clearly see by how they respond to negative reviews, I am not surprised he blocked me from paying me what I would consider stolen money, and as you can see how these people treat anyone with a negative review tells you all you need to know. Not once did maintenance come by to deal with the mess of a cabin with a roach infestation (and don't try to say we didn't address this like you do to every other patron, I have receipts for EVERYTHING!) including images of your "bug sprayed cabins" (which, you're welcome for doing that for you Bob) All you needed to do was the honest thing which was give me my nights money back, that was due to the error of your staff. Steer clear from this place, and before the owners call "harassment" like they've done to everyone else on their reviews, please note I've tried handling this amicably and professionally and at some point the owners need to realize they're the issue. read more

A perfect little rustic, get away in the mountains of North Georgia. The winery added a "boutique style" taste of resort life style to this otherwise primitive cabin in the woods. We loved, arriving just in time to hear the live music playing just outside the winery under a canopy of trees and tables with umbrellas. It was very welcoming, as well as the very friendly and helpful staff. The gift shop, and the winery were unexpected in my searching for the perfect getaway for my husband's birthday surprise, however, it was the deciding factor upon my booking it. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. The wines were exceptionally tasty, and Kathy, our sommelier was extremely knowledgeable and made our experience so much fun. read more

I loved this adorable winery! I came for the comedy tour and I really enjoyed it. We came early so we could do a wine tasting and get good seats for the show. They had live music until the show started. I tried a variety of their tapas and had their sweet wine flight. I highly recommend the beef empanadas and the Mac and cheese bites! I would definitely recommend. I left with several bottles of wine to take home too. read more

Stayed in a cabin and used the spa. Reasonable price. No high cleaning fees. Cabin is clean. No problem for us, but not everyone could use their stairs. Person at desk from 10-6. On your own after that. Quiet. Could not get cable tv to work. Person at desk told me that it worked before. Ran out of toilet paper, but after desk closed. Spa was small, but ok. Tasting room in back within the gift shop. read more

We were invited by some friends to come hang out and listen to a local artists we enjoy. We had never been here before. I sure do not know why! It is close to us and my wife loves wine! Cool little place off in the woods in the North Georgia Mountains. So this is a cool place that was made by an ex cop. My wife like the wine. I was happy because they had beer on draft too! Big selection of snacks. Such as cheese and charcuterie trays. We got the Brie. It was a whole wheel of Brie heated up with toast crisps. Nice outside area where we enjoyed live music. Staff was excellent! I highly recommend if you are looking for a nice winery in the area. read more

Great place to spend the afternoon sipping wine and snacking. When we went on a Saturday afternoon there was live music which completed the incredible atmosphere. Great wine, good snacks (two thumbs up for the mac and cheese tapas), super friendly staff and a really nice space. Easy 5 stars. read more

Paradise Hills - Wineries Near Me - Blairsville, Georgia

One of my favorite spots in the North Georgia mountains! Gorgeous spot tucked away in Blairsville. The location is close enough to the Blairsville town center to voyage in for dinner but far enough away for a proper escape. The cabins are cute and cozy and perfect for a weekend getaway. The winery has some delicious offerings from wine to charcuterie to fun gifts. The spa is top notch and the hot stone massage...oh yes, try the hot stone massage! The folks that run the place are accommodating and welcoming and make sure that you feel right at home! read more

I went for a spa day with a group of friends recently. The therapist was good (from what I hear) but the staff and customer service were absolutely abhorrent. When we arrived, they immediately told us one of the therapists called out and we'd only have one. No problem-- can we still leave by 5pm for a reservation? They said we could, so great! We had a decent time in the spa waiting for each of our turns. However, the wine was not the best quality and gave a few of us headaches. Two of us were supposed to get the chair massage but there was no chair in sight. We asked and they seemed confused. After some back and forth it turns out they got rid of them despite the fact that we'd booked and paid for the service. No communication whatsoever. 5pm rolls around and I still haven't had my massage so I say let's just cancel it because we have a reservation. They tell me I'll still have to pay for my $75 thirty minute massage because we "were always supposed to have only one therapist". That is a blatant lie. Finally, they say okay, you can cancel it but you won't get a refund because the amount you ordered in wine cancels out for your $45 service... but I was charged for a $75 service? They insist I wasn't. Basically, turns out I paid $75 for literally nothing. Please do not waste your time, money, and sanity at this spa. read more

on our way back from hiking we happened upon this hidden gem of a resort and winery. we were a bit skeptical of going in because we were fresh off of a sweaty hike. surprisingly the staff was so welcoming and friendly towards us helping us navigate the list and protocol of the place. The young lady behind the bar guided us through tasting and selecting our choices of wines and tapas. stop by this place, you will be pleasantly surprised by their hospitality and items offered in the shop. thank you for such a wonderful wine filled afternoon. read more

Enjoying the Georgia Wine Highway but this one refuses to allow a support dog in the tasting room. Offered to provide his registry papers and veterinary records but still refused. Keep in mind he is a 5 lb. non-shedding dog that does not make a peep. We won't bother to come back and support them again. There are too many friendlier wineries around. read more

We just stayed on Vinyard property in a cabin that sleeps 6. The cabin was clean, beds comfy, and everything was exactly like the photos. The hot tub on the deck was a group pleaser as well. The onsite bistro overlooking the Vinyard was fantastic, and pretty much everyone had their signature burger. The staff and owners treat you like family to the point of pulling up a chair and chatting with the group. There was so much to do within a 30 min drive we were never bored. 100% would recommend this gem for a weekend getaway. read more

Paradise Hills - Thunder Moon Red Table Wine - Wineries Near Me - Blairsville, Georgia

I never leave bad reviews. ever. I approached them with a very nicely written complaint, and their response was so rude. which is why I'm here. the bad review is officially deserved. They had a festival the Saturday we stayed. After paying for the cabin, it would've cost us an extra $25 per person to tour the vineyard or buy wine without getting a ticket for the festival. Only thing included with the ticket fee is a wine glass. food and drink were not included. So we decided to watch football at the cabin and grill out. We are huge football fans, and our anniversary (reason for the trip) is always on opening day / Labor Day weekend. That's our tradition. Well, our satellite was out. They said there was nothing they could do about it. Ok fine. So we try streaming from our phones. That didn't work either because In the cabin; there is no cell reception, and the only way to access Wi-Fi was to be at the lodge, which at the time I would've had to pay $50 extra to get into. Still to only watch on our phones. When I explained everything to the owner or whoever manages their Facebook, they told me they never advertised to be a sports bar. HA!!! How rude!! So here are all of the screenshots in case they try to come and try to make excuses for their actions like they did in the previous reviews I see. I'll let their future customers & the ones reading it decide for themselves. Lastly, I want to add that if they would've handled this different and not downright RUDE, I would not be leaving this public comment. They weren't even slightly apologetic or understanding. They wanted to argue the point. Lol it sounds like the entirety of the staff is narcissistic and does no wrong. And LUXURY??? HA! Most of the cabin is made from rough cut wood planks from the Home Depot. Our place has no central heating and air. one AC unit and 1 heater. But hey you get conversation cards!! great place to spend too much money on wine, and twiddle your thumbs whilst getting the WORST customer service. You're also contributing to an ungrateful couple who do not appreciate the money their customers give them whatsoever. It's been a week and I'm still fuming mad. They should be ashamed. read more

The staff at Paradise Hills is super, super helpful and friendly. We stayed in the Eagle's Nest cabin - one of their one-bedroom units. It was pleasant enough, but by no means luxurious. The cabin consisted of a living/dining/kitchen area with toilet and shower rooms on the main floor, and a very comfortable king-size bed in the loft. It was clean, although there were old logs and ashes left from the previous occupant still in the fireplace. There's a very nice jetted bathtub in the shower room that will comfortably accommodate one person - it felt good after a day of galavanting around Brasstown Bald and Helen. The kitchen area is small, with a hotel-sized refrigerator, a sink, a microwave, a coffee pot, a toaster, and a small 4-burner stove with oven. There is ample hot water. The resort furnishes paper towels and tp, but no facial tissue. The towels are standard-issue white hotel towels. Our cabin was equipped with satellite TV. The information booklet said simply to make sure that the tv and satellite receiver box were on. Nope. Either things aren't hooked up correctly, or the Wally box is in need of replacement. It took about 20 minutes for my spouse to figure out that we needed to hit "reset" on the box each time we wanted to watch TV. There was no landline, so if your cell carrier doesn't have service in that area, you're s.o.l. as far as phone service goes. We did go down to the lodge to sample the wine, which was pretty good. They also offer a few varieties of craft beer and some cheese and meat trays to nibble on. You do need to make sure that you arrive EARLY for this because they close up shop on most nights by 5:00 - I'm not sure if this is normal practice, or simply because our stay took place in the off-season. There is a spa on-site, but you need to schedule your services at least a week in advance, preferably when making your reservation. read more

Friendly staff.. The wines were good... highly recommend if you're in the area to stop by and have some wine...

Great girls weekend @ paradise hills...stayed in the Chocolate moose cabin! What an amazing experience but can we talk about you all...you made us feel like Queens and catered to our every whim. You even made special lunch and snacks for my gluten issues. I have never gotten better service then from your staff. Destinee runs the desk and we were instant besties from call one...she answered all my questions kindly and with patience. Upon arrival, her smiling face greeted us and she was by our side anytime we needed her.. Never let her go Bob! And speaking of Bob... Your wine was amazing. We took out 3 bottles in your bar Fri night! The massage therapists were professional and made us feel right at home....we spent 8 hours in the spa getting treatments and relaxing. It will definitely be an annual Girls weekend trip! read more

We stayed here for two nights and had such a magical time. The cabins are truly very beautiful inside. We felt like we were in another time period. The grounds themselves are tranquil and picturesque. You can smell the trees, hear the birds, wind chimes, and a baby billy goat every once in a while. This place is close to Vogel State Park and anything else you want to check out in the area. Unlike many other cabins we visited in Blairsville on steep inclines and winding paths, it is relatively easy to drive around Paradise Hills. I want to thank Liz and Eryn for being so welcoming and sweet to us. Liz was patient with us when we kept changing our booking and spa appointments. Upon arrival, Eryn welcomed us and let us hang out in the common area to do work and Liz let us check in 3 hours early. She was also understanding that we checked out a little later on account of the rain and was great at resolving any hiccups we might have had during the stay. Thank you for all of this. On that note, I also want to thank our masseuses from the spa for being equally warm and kind people. Their spa facilities and services are fantastic. We both got the Swedish Massage and Foot Treatment. The sauna is piping hot and they let you stay in for as long as you want to. They also offer nuts and chocolate covered pretzels after your service which is a nice touch. Though I didn't really drink the wine, my friend got a bottle from Eryn and was really happy with it. The bar was cute, they offered tapas though we didn't get any. Also on Saturdays through spring and summer they have live music in the afternoons in their common area which I wish we got a chance to enjoy. Next time. Thanks for everything, we hope to come back again! read more

Bummer. Stopped in but private $25 grape stomp. No outside tastings. Not for us today.

My friends and I had such a wonderful girls trip. We stayed in the Cats Meow, it was clean, large, and a very nice house. Owner Bob and his wife are on site, working, giving tours and loving what they do. Eryn gave a fabulous wine tasting. She's very articulate and helpful. Destiny- at the front, total sweetheart. And Sandy's massage was heavenly!!!! We also loved petting the sweet goats, Gunner, Boots and Bear. And Felicia, the Bigfoot, . Thank you everyone at Paradise Hills!! read more

We spent an afternoon here tasting wine and listening to some great music outside on their porch. We tried several reds and our favorite was the Cabernet Sauvignon. They have some really cute cabins that I'd like to stay in sometime. Beautiful property, nice people-we will definitely return. read more

We stayed here in the Coyote Moon Cabin and loved everything about it. The cabin was amazing. So inviting, beautiful, and super clean. The hot tub was just an added plus. The staff was friendly. We took an afternoon to have beer and wine in the tasting room and it was great. The small plates/cheese/salami was a great additional tried to stay an extra night but it wasn't available, which was a bummer. We will definitely be back and excited to visit in the fall this time. read more

My husband and I had booked the wine tasting and tour months in advance to our vacation. We didn't stay in a cabin since our family has one that we were using. My husband booked the tour and tasting for Saturday since the other days of our stay wouldn't have worked for us. We actually left from our home Friday night and drove through 12 hours to get to Blairsville. Because we were sleep deprived and didn't want to miss our booking we left our cabin early to grab coffee, and food before heading to the winery. We underestimated our time and came an HOUR early. Typically you do the tasting after the tour but they were nice and accommodated for us to do the tasting before hand. The bartender was really nice and conversational, and the wine was amazing. When we were done with the tasting we got a Gouda cheese plate with a glass of Chardonnay and enjoyed the rainy afternoon. The sky cleared up and we went on the wine tour, which is a small one but it's worth the price. The owner is a prior police officer and my husband thought that was cool since he's a medically retired MP with the Marines. After the tour we went back in while the rest of the group did their tasting we finished with buying a couple bottles. The front desk ladies were very friendly, and pretty much every person that worked there that we had came in contact with. The bartender specifically did an excellent job in customer service when this family had brought in their rambunctious kids and not attending to them. She politely found coloring books to try and accommodate them and nicely told them they couldn't enter the bar area. I would have lost my mind had I been in her position. All in all it was a great experience, the Chardonnay is great, and we will be back sometime on our next vacation! read more

Very cute and cozy winery in Blairsville. Entertainment (live music) charcuterie boards all there. Pets allowed on the patio.

Deceptive selling practices/lack of customer service/Lying to customers Stopped by Paradise Hills for a tasting this afternoon. We arrived at 4:30p, parked, and upon entering were notified they were having a "festival". The cost was $25/each and included a basic tasting, a glass to take home, grape stomping, a live band, and the opportunity to visit the various vendors they had on site. We were notified that the normal $5 tasting fee was not available due to the "festival", and we were not allowed to split a tasting, that we would be "okay to drive" even if we both have the tasting. Not sure how they knew our tolerance levels? Immediately (seriously, immediately) after paying our $50, we asked where to find the grape stomping and were told it ended at 4p. Unfortunate (and possibly illegal) since they sold this as part of the festival activities at 4:30p. Now to the tasting. It was nice, and the wine was good. We even purchased a bottle. Lastly we went outside to listen to the music (5pm). After one song the band wrapped up, saying they had an event to get to in Canton. At this point, we decided to leave, as the "festival" was now over. Basically, we were sold a ticket to an event that would be ending in 30 minutes. Before leaving I approached the cashier, and gave the feedback noted above. Her reply was "I'm sorry". She had blatantly lied to us and when called out on it, that's all she could say. As we were driving away we passed by a lady who claimed to be a manager. We explained what happened and her response was no better than what we got from the cashier. When I told her we wouldn't be back, she said "okay". I am a very understanding person and know that mistakes happen. I gave Paradise Hills the opportunity to correct their mistake and they had no interest in satisfying me as a customer. With the myriad of winery choices in the North Georgia area, pick somewhere else. Do not give these ungrateful people your money. read more

Let me preface this review by saying we ONLY visited the winery. That being said, this was the worst winery I have ever been to. This is coming from a weathered wine drinker and winery goer. My girlfriend and I frequent this region and love winery hoping, and this was by far the worst experience we've had. The gentleman pouring the wine was the owner. He was unwelcoming, rude, and didn't give me the impression he knew his wine. The four of us elected for the premium $15 per person wine tasting. The tasting included about 8 wines, however they were out of 2 so we got 6 tastes and no extra accommodations were made. The tastes were even more pitiful than the customer service, literally a sip, maybe 1/4 an once if that...really couldn't make this up. There was a $5 taste option and we were seriously wondering what the difference was. When we went to check out the owners wife, was also rude and her customer service skills, like her husbands was lacking. There are so many great options in this area, so don't waste your time and money here. I won't be rude and name off other wineries but I have reviewed some and there will be more to come. read more

Tranquillity is the first word to come to my mind. Soul deep beauty near downtown Blairsville, Georgia. We loved this romantic setting, and its friendly owners. I could see why it is a great wedding venue. There is an inspiring view of the mountains and below a vineyard. The last time I felt such peace was on a five day canoe trip down the Suwannee River. So much beauty abounds nearby. Mountain forests, Appalachian Trail heads not far, and canoeing, or just picnic spots abound. Surprise of the week: Ingles grocery store in town is one of the best I've ever seen, and they have a Starbucks inside. We must try the local coffee shop next time. Also, Blueridge, Ga. is nearby and we need to return for all those shops. (My wife says). We had a wonderful time. Peaceful beauty. You do need to be mobile on your own, but we loved how our flatlander muscles toned up. read more

I would love to give them a 5, on the getaway it self we had a fabulous time. Shopping and Restaurants were in a reasonable distance. The massage we received was top notch. My other stars goes towards my aftermath of bed bug bites. My first experience with bed bugs and pray thru my travels I will never have to again. Three days later, my items have not made it back in my home. The staff was very apologetic and stepped up, even though the first night we had some suspicion which was brought to their attention. Would I ever visit there again, probably not for the latter reason only. Just sad because this was a wonderful getaway. read more

Didnt feel very welcoming and if your going for seclusion I would not recommend it. Was asked not to smoke in the room so I smoked outside and they still got mad. Then they asked us to leave or basically put us out because I threw up and need to clean it up with a towel and didn't tell them when they got them to be washed. So if u expect to be treated like you are at a resort u can count that out. Customer service sucks. Truly thier loss because we had planned on buying wine to take home with us as souvenirs. PS . Today is Sun may 1st. This is in addition to my original message the owners have been very rude with disrespectful msg about my review. False accusations against us is tacky and sad they dont know the difference between Marijuana and a black and mild. I feel racist prejudice towards us because we were of different ethnicity. They also made clear the maid was a recovering addict. Is that who you would like cleaning your space. read more

We were so lucky to find this place for our "babymoon." They have very clean and comfortable cabin selections of various sizes with great views of the mountains. We chose one of the smaller cabins near the tasting room and spa. My husband enjoyed the wine tastings of the on property grown/made wines. On Sunday, we enjoyed sitting on the deck of the tasting room with snacks and drinks and a great view of the mountains and vineyards. The owner, Bob, was very friendly and made us feel right at home, along with the rest of his staff. I enjoyed the prenatal spa package while we were there, and it is a very well-appointed, clean and professional spa. Jen did a great job with all of my treatments, making sure I was comfortable the whole time. The cabins are remote enough that you are in the mountains, but close enough to town for meals if you don't wish to cook. read more

We had a group of girls come here for a cabin weekend a winery tour/tasting. We had a blast. Came in the fall and the trees were beautiful.

It was my hope that the issues that we had during our stay at Paradise Hills Resort and Winery could be resolved amicably but due to the unprofessional, passive-aggressive responses that we have received in response to our valid concerns it no longer appears that this will be possible. My family rented the Serenity cabin for a planned 5 days over the Thanksgiving holiday. When my mother arrived at the cabin on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, she found that the refrigerator was non-functioning. The staff was able to secure an ice-box and ice for use to use in the interim but was unable to send a repairman due to the holiday. At some point during the early morning (roughly 5AM), it began to work again. At no point was a repairman sent out to check the fridge despite that a maintenance light remained on for the duration of our stay, which was reported to the office when we were finally able to reach someone. The freezer remained broken the whole time. My partner and I arrived the morning of Thanksgiving after having driven eight and a half hours to make the trip from Northern Virginia. Immediately upon arriving, we noted that the toilet in the downstairs bathroom, next to the rooms we were staying, was broken. Using some twine (that we brought with us) and some creative uses of knots, we were able to replace the broken chain in order to have a temporarily functioning toilet. Again, due to the holiday, there was no repairman available, nor were the offices open to report the issue. Still, at this point we were determined to make the best of our trip and settled in for the night. As we were getting ready for bed, while we were at the top of the stairs we noticed the overwhelming smell of gas coming from the downstairs (we were later notified by the propane company that this was due to the propane tank being extremely close to empty). We attempted to ventilate the space as best as we could before going to bed. We awoke at 3AM the following morning due to frigid temperatures downstairs and upon investigation found that we had run out of propane in the middle of the night, meaning that there was now no heat downstairs nor was there a functional stove/oven or fireplace. Again, we attempted to contact the office and were unable to reach someone. Finally, at roughly 10AM we were able to get a response by physically going to the offices. After several hours, it was found that no propane had been ordered for the cabin for the month. The propane company was fortunately able to come out to fill the tank that same day. We then had to wait even longer someone to come out to do all of the pilot lights. When all was said and done, this had taken the entirety of Friday. Had it been earlier in the day, we would have left right then, but as it had begun to get dark we opted to leave as soon as the sun came up the next morning. At no point, did anyone from the offices come by the cabin, it was us, the people renting supposedly on a vacation, that had to wait around for various repairmen to come fix issues that should have been discovered and resolved prior to our arrival. This isn't even getting too much into the various amenities that were marketed as available but not actually as described. Overall, this trip was not a good experience - which is a shame because we had really been hoping for it to be. The cabin itself was lovely and had any of these issues not happened we would have enjoyed our stay. But as it is now, I could not, in good faith, recommend Paradise Hills Resort and Winery to anyone. By the end of our shortened trip, I had no faith that major issues would be resolved in a timely manner and without snark from the people we were paying a not small amount of money to rent from. The place was beautiful but not worth the headache that came with it. read more

So I'll start by saying the cabin was great, it was the perfect fit for me and my dog. The service was a little disappointing though. On our first day a storm caused us to lose both water and power at about 10:00am. At about 3:00pm my dog was running out of water and I needed to get him some. I called the front desk to get directions to a grocery store, as I didn't get an internet signal there and couldn't use my GPS. I got the voicemail for the front desk, so I left a message asking them to call me back. That was Monday at 3:00pm. We left on Wednesday at 9:00am and I had never received a call back. Also, I originally booked and paid to have two dogs come with me. One was unable to come, and I was told I'd receive a refund for the pet fee I paid for the second dog, which I have yet to receive. Lastly, I met one of the employees briefly and he was not very welcoming. read more

My wife and I chose to take a convenient get-away and stumbled upon this place. We thoroughly enjoyed the cabin, the winery, the Spa and the property. Even though it was off-season we completely enjoyed ourselves. The staff was first class and helpful. The kitchen and grill were stocked with what we needed when we cooked and the refrigerator was great for leftovers. Lastly, having a small pet and having only to pay a small fee was great. Our pup was welcomed with a couple dog biscuits upon entering the cabin... Nice touch! We look forward to visiting this little paradise again. read more

I have stayed at Paradise Hills 3 different times over the past five years. Our first stay was without any issue, we stayed in Owl's Perch. During our second stay, in Owl's Perch, we notified the front desk that there were cockroaches in the kitchen. No one came to resolve or even look at the issue and we didn't make a big deal about it. It wasn't until our 3rd and most recent (Jan-Feb. 2018) vacation in the Magic Raven cabin that we experienced a terrible stay. Up until this point we had been loyal patrons and would only stay at Paradise Hills every time we traveled from Florida. This time we travelled with our extended family, which included a 3-year-old and a 10-month-old. We reserved Magic Raven and the extra suite below. It was the day after we arrived that we noticed that the heating in the upper cabin didn't seem to be working and that the lower cabin was too hot. We called the front desk (spoke to Ilke) and they had a serviceman come out that day, he assured us it was fixed as he left. As the temperatures dipped into the 19/20 degree area we found that we were freezing again in the upper cabin, thermostat stayed around 63 degrees during the day and dipping even lower at night. The lower cabin would go as high as 82 degrees while sleeping during the night. While dealing with the broken heating/cooling, we had other issues. During the night in the lower suite, which has a king size bed, my husband repositioned himself and head of the bed dropped to the floor. At 3 a.m. my husband and I removed the king mattress and the 2 box springs to find that the entirety of the bed and ourselves were being supported by three pieces of cheap wood across the head, middle, and foot of the bed. One of the pieces of wood snapped in half and that is why we fell to the floor. My husband had to repair the bed in the middle of the night so that we could continue sleeping. Now having to deal with heating/cooling problems and a broken bed, we notice a puddle of water on the kitchen floor in the lower cabin and realize that it is coming from the ceiling. The hot water in the kitchen of the upper cabin has stopped working and we find out a pipe/valve has broken. First thing the next morning I go to the lobby and speak to the owner Bob to tell him that we are still having a problem with the heating/cooling and to tell him of the bed and water issues. I explain that we have been very understanding and patient with the issues and would like for something to be done to remedy the fact that our cabin stay has been terrible. He assures me that he needs a couple of days to figure something out but that he wants us to leave happy. He also arranges for the heating serviceman and the water serviceman to come out that day. The water is fixed, however the heating guy says that it's an old system and it's as good as it's going to be. We never hear anything from the Bob or his wife for the rest of our stay, not a check in to see if we're ok, not a clean up of the water leak, not an offer to move us to a different cabin. We continue to be patient and layer up and build fires throughout our stay. 2 days after I spoke to Bob about the problems we are checking out, I ask the front desk if she has heard anything from him about a solution to at least leave on a good note. She hasn't heard anything. The next day I call the front desk, asking to speak to Bob. The front desk promises that she will have him give me a call. By the next day I still haven't heard anything, so I send an email detailing all of the problems and asking for a solution. I finally receive an email back offering 25% off our next stay. I go back and forth over a couple of days with both Bob and his wife Ilke about spending nearly $1000 on our cabin stay and feeling like we didn't get our money's worth considering all of the issues. Ilke states that the issues were resolved, however a previous email from Bob refutes that claim. Again, they offer 25% off our next stay and say that they are not responsible for any mechanical issues and that they couldn't have foreseen these problems. I am appalled that they did not handle this situation better, I gave them many opportunities to get the issues fixed and to do the right thing and give us at least some of our money back. I can no longer recommend Paradise Hills to anyone. If you stay there and are lucky enough to have no problems, that's great. But in the instance that you do have issues, like no heat during the freezing cold or a burst pipe, realize that you will likely not get the courtesy of a check up to see how your stay is being affected or a phone call to see if they can further help. Forget about a partial refund because they will claim it is not their responsibility. You will only get 25% off your next stay which you should hope goes perfectly smooth or you will have wasted your money once again. I will throw in that the front desk staff, Matthew, Jacque, and Barb (at the bar) are all amazing and wonderful. read more
