Fantastic Host & Home!

This home is a gem. Our family had a short visit and we wished we could have made it a longer stay. Karla is a very accommodating and responsive host. She lives nearby and offered to help if we needed anything. We wished the weather had been better so we could utilize the large stone fire pit area down the hill, but we enjoyed the wood burning fireplace inside and the provided woodpile. The home is 3 levels. As noted, the master bedroom loft is upstairs looking over the main level with no door, so late hour/early AM noise can be an issue with a large group on different sleep schedules. The terrace level living area was perfect for the teens. They played with the provided board games, cards, and Wii for hours. We hope we can visit this beautiful mountain home again!

Breathtaking views, peaceful retreat

Here’s a polished version of your review for the VRBO in Sky Valley, GA: We had an amazing stay at this property in Sky Valley! The location was perfect, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful retreat. The house was spacious, cozy, and had everything we needed—and more! We particularly enjoyed watching the variety of birds, especially the hummingbirds, after setting up a feeder. It was such a treat! The kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials for cooking, and the washer and dryer were a huge plus since we stayed for an extended period. Evenings were wonderful with cool, crisp air and cozy fires, making it a perfect escape. The host was fantastic—super responsive and accommodating, making communication a breeze. My husband was thrilled with the easy access to Sky Valley Golf Club, which had beautiful scenery and was a great public course. It was a blessing to have good access to internet as we worked from the home on a daily basis. We both have to be on Zoom calls and were thrilled to find reliable service in the area. We couldn't have asked for a better getaway. We would highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by karla stahl

Host profile image
We lived part-time in this property and rented it before. We love the community of Sky Valley so much we built a full-time home around the corner; we are keeping this property for our family and for sharing with others. We love meeting new people and will offer you as much privacy as you wish but are available most of the summer and fall for questions or help.

Why they chose this property

Sky Valley is still a hidden gem in the North Georgia mountains. Rabun County is the farm-to-table capital of Georgia and fresh produce and flowers are available from a myriad of vendors throughout the area and close to the property. We love the cool temperatures, flora and fauna and the friendly community.

What makes this property unique

The spaces are well-thought out, the views are spectacular and the firepit is one of a kind.
