Dog Friendly for two dogs/any size, with non-refundable deposit. Property has exceptional, long-range views for this mountain retreat from EVERY room located on the Georgia/North Carolina border. NEWLY remodeled recreation room, photos forthcoming.

Breathtaking views of national forests goes on forever. You can see Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina with a beautiful sunrise morning on multi-level decks. Up close Rabun Bald views, a great hiking adventure, and direct views of Blue Valley and the sunrise! If seclusion and quite with creature comforts of a gourmet kitchen and two amazing local towns are what you’re seeking, look no further. Located between Highlands, NC and Clayton, GA, you get the best of all! We are located right above Sky Valley, GA and a short 15-20 min scenic drive to Main Street, Highlands, NC.
Our home offers four en suite bedrooms, three of which have king-sized beds, a well-appointed, gourmet kitchen with breakfast bar leading to a dining room with seating for ten+. The great room has a floor to ceiling stone, wood-burning fireplace, game table and wet bar for enjoying good times together. Main floor also includes an office/study with desk and day bed with trundle, reading books, a printer and monitor; a half bath; and, our primary suite includes a king bed, bathroom with over-sized, jetted tub, shower for two with steam.

The lower level includes three guest en suites, one with a fireplace and king size bed, another with king size bed which is our largest suite, and the last with two twin beds. On the lower level, there is a recreation room with regulation size ping pong table for tons of family fun. All rooms HAVE views and deck access! The decks lead to the ground level of the home for exploring the three-acre property. Several TVs, Wi-Fi/internet access, movies, games, and books for enjoying those lazy and relaxing nights. At ground level, you have access to the fire pit to roast marshmallows, make s'mores and tell stories into the night AND a full-sized twin daybed swing set above the firepit to enjoy good times.

Ideal for family getaways, ladies’ retreats, etc. this home will not disappoint, and NO four-wheel drive required to get to this 3,800-foot elevation home with well-marked, paved roads leading in and out of the neighborhood. No white knuckle here, well unless it snows, you may want to stay in or have that all wheel drive vehicle, but the roads are treated and cleared when needed! We stay open for winter gatherings and escapes.

LOCATION: A quick trek to Main Street Highlands, NC, with renowned restaurants and shopping, or a quick trip to Clayton, GA, the farm to table capitol of Georgia. There are many choices for dining and shopping with close by towns. We are located a quick 5 minutes from Sky Valley, with the renowned Sky Valley Golf Course (public). So many outdoor activities to enjoy including Highlands Aerial Park (zip-line) just a few minutes down the road, hiking, snow tubing/ice skating in winter and the new Scaly Screamer at Highlands Outpost/Scaly Mountain Outdoor Center, and much more. Many area waterfalls and hiking trails to explore nearby, world renowned rafting/tubing on the famous Chattooga, fishing lakes, river and streams; or, you can also just walk around our gated neighborhood and property. With Beegum Trailhead for Rabun Bald Mountain just steps from our neighborhood, it's the second highest peak in Georgia, a great hiking adventure for a moderate level trail. The view at peak is amazing and should not be missed!

Add one more five star review
What a wonderful mountain house. The views are spectacular and the house is beautiful, and it’s a great location near hiking, and a few minutes outside of the Highlands. You can add this as one more five star review to the many others. The hosts were great as well. Very good communication throughout the process. The only negative is having to leave. We will definitely be renting there again.

About the host

Hosted by Claudia Wooten

Host profile image
Currently, we live and work in Texas, have three children and two grandchildren. We love to travel and have stayed in many VRBO's throughout our travels and decided it was time we bought one to enjoy and offer to other fellow travelers.

Why they chose this property

After many years of deciding on a place to settle, we kept coming back to the Appalachian chain and found the charm of Highlands and Clayton to be an absolute jewel with the best of everything we could have desired. This home had so many features we wanted in a floor plan, with an amazing long-range view, and the proximity to the area's attractions we could not refuse. So much to offer in outdoor activities we could never be bored!

What makes this property unique

The main living floor plan allowed us to be able to enjoy just the two of us and be cozy enough, but with a large enough main gathering room for large family get togethers. The lower level allowed for our kids and grandkids to join us with one of our favorite pastimes of playing table tennis (ping pong). The expansive decks allows everyone access from each room, and a view of the mountains from each area of the house, so no one is left out.
