An Enjoyable Family Getaway
Our family group of four adults and four children enjoyed a comfortable stay at Black Bear Cabin. The four bedrooms on three levels provided some separation, as did the two living spaces. The house was clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the fire pit, the beautiful long range view from the deck, and the convenient location-just five minutes from the stores and good restaurants in Clayton. We never get tired of the beautiful scenery and the fun things to do in the Rabun County area.

The house was very private. The way the bedrooms were set up, my daughter and her family had their privacy. The air hockey table was a big hit. Everything was within 2 hours of the house. The

Stormy Stay
The management company Vacasa is responsible for the low rating. The owners have a beautiful cabin with a mesmerizing view and great amenities.
We were unable to add a week to our initial booking. We didn't want to pay the additional $500+ in cleaning, booking, and damage waiver fees again, but they refused to waive them.
We experienced multiple power/water outages, and it was difficult to reach the host to report. We understand weather-related events. The cabin is in one of the rainiest areas on the east coast, and it should be equipped for such. The property only offered 1 flashlight and no emergency water source.
After the second set of outages, I asked the local manager if any concessions would be offered, and she said they don’t offer refunds due to things beyond their control. I wasn't seeking a full refund, but some sort of concession would have been appreciated.
The knives were dull. The rest of the kitchen is well stocked. We found several items in the kitchen that were dirty, so we washed things prior to use. The rest of the cabin was clean.
The bunk bed was unstable, and the top bunk mattress is too deep making the top bunk guard rail useless. The beds were comfortable, but the pillows were flat.
Overall, it’s unfortunate my family experienced multiple power/water outages and poor customer service, but we would consider staying again in the future. Hopefully, the management company considers the feedback.

Wonderful home but horrible management
I hate not giving this home 5 stars. The views are amazing and the house is superbly stocked!! However, the master shower had long dark hair all over the walls, there was less that a half a roll of toilet in each bathroom, less than a half a roll of paper towels, and one kitchen trash bag. I addressed this through the management companies app, by texting their text number and calling. The WiFi did not work meaning the TV never worked. Also called and tried to address this. Multiple calls, texts and app chats went unanswered- STILL unanswered. Good thing there was not an emergency. And on the last day, we woke up to find a mouse had gotten in to our bread. I left notes for the cleaning staff took pictures of everything, sent it all to the management company and have yet to hear anything. I would love to return to this home, but as long as it is being managed this way, I’m not sure any of the issues will be addressed. I have pictures of everything for documention of dates and times.
