Our family had a great stay here with plenty of room for us to spread out. We loved being able to go to the pool at the end of the day and to be able to get to hikes and outdoor activities quickly and easily. The communication with the owner was stellar and very appreciated.
Beautiful sights, club house is fully decked with amenities.
House is well set up for a group or family. Cute little neighbor cat came to visit each morning.
Nice place, spacious enough for large family in lovely woodsy setting. The host was very responsive and easy to reach. The Sky Valley resort was a beautiful expansive setting to take long dog walks.
We really enjoyed our stay in this quaint treehouse home! The home was perfect for our lake getaway! The kitchen was open enough for us to cook each night and the fire pit and grill outside allowed for us to disconnect from technology and connect with each other. The inside was very clean!
I really liked the property. Plenty of space and rooms. Great kitchen and we enjoyed the outdoor area. Plenty of chairs, table, swing and outdoor fire pit with beautiful trees. There is also a gas grill but we didnt use it.
We loved our stay. Place was very clean and property manager was very responsive. It was a very artistic cabin with geode painting and gemstone decor which is a favorite interest of mine. There's no phone signal driving near the cabin until you hook to wifi. The beautiful waterfall in the neighborhood is a must see. Very easy to get to and a very short walk.
The house was beautiful with a bunch of sliding glass doors to let in tons of natural light. Everything in the house worked with no issues. It was.a Greta place for friends to get together and spend time in the mountains.
The cabin was perfect for us. My husband and I took some of our kids and grandkids. We had never been to Sky Valley and it did not disappoint. From the food, peace, waterfalls, & time spent together I feel refreshed and ready to start back to school. We all had a blessed time. Thank you
Our group of 8 was comfortable and has just enough space to move around. Very Important: this is a dog friendly place(we overlooked this in the description). We ended up with dog hair all over our clothes and personal items. The cabin has some beautiful upgraded bathrooms and a smart tv set up. We had a great time.

Property was good in size for my family. I like how the house had everything available in the kitchen. I didn’t like the carpet and dog hair on couch. It made our allergy kick in. The property is very pet friendly.
Quiet location just outside Sky Valley, many trails, waterfalls & activities in the area. The deck and the balcony were both very dirty w cobwebs. Property manager came and blew the debris off, but I had to wash the balcony so we could use it. The smart TV did not have a remote. Driveway is very steep with ruts & holes. Plenty of space, kitchen fully furnished, unusual decor. Pets are welcome, our dog loved it.

Decent place
Place has heavy smell of dog and we had to go to store and buy febreeze and Lysol to help get smell reduced some. We have dogs ourselves but this smell was extremely strong.
Very dark inside and cob webs everywhere. Also very delayed response from company “Evolve” managing the property. Overall the area is beautiful and the place was ok since we really only went back to sleep. Probably wouldn’t return to this place.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Sept, 2022
Hi Steven, we want our guests to arrive at a vacation home that is 100% ready for their stay, so we take the cleanliness of our properties seriously! We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- The home is thoroughly cleaned between guests and deep-cleaned regularly. While we are a pet-friendly home, we take careful measures to ensure that the home is spotless before each arrival. We addressed this with our team and have not had complaints about it since.
- The home has dark-painted walls, as advertised on the listing, and due to our location in the forest, it is mostly shaded. However, there are many lights in each room and around the home to keep it well-lit.
Thanks for your valuable feedback!

The property manager called the day of arrival and gave excellent advice for our arrival. Very community amenities including fitness center, pool and tennis courts.
Easy scheduling and access to property. Great living area including large t.v. for streaming. Also, large deck for outdoor enjoyment. Could have more towels available but overall really enjoyed the place.
