Up close Rabun Bald views, a great hiking adventure, and direct views of Blue Valley! 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 ensuite 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.

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 those 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.

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!

Mountain Christmas

Had a fantastic stay. This is our 4th time at this lovely home and hopefully not our last. We brought firewood and had cozy relaxing evenings playing games, making Christmas ornaments and eating. The hot tub was sparkling clean and toasty warm. The sunsets were sensational this time of year and could be seen from the hot tub. Sunrises and coffee made for perfect mornings.

This was our second stay in Sky Valley which was just as wonderful as our first five years ago. We could not have asked for a lovelier, exceedingly well equipped house, more beautiful location or a more cooperative and responsive owner. Thanks for a lovely visit.

Spectacular Home with a Million Dollar view!

My family and I stayed at this beautiful Home for three weeks in the month of July. The house is spacious with an on suite bathroom in every room, a spacious kitchen, fun playroom with table tennis, and views from every level. Claudia, the owner, was very responsive and left clear instructions on how to use everything in the house. there was a nice hot tub on the top deck which we enjoyed in the evenings. The surrounding area is full of fun activities for the whole family. If you have a chance I would highly recommend you stay at this incredible home.

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.
