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.

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!

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.
