2nd Stay; Golf Get-away

This is the second time we've stayed at Sparrow's Rest. It is an ideal spot for us since we play golf. The location is on the 6th fairway and very close to the clubhouse. The 2 bedrooms have King beds and separate baths. Everything is clean and cozy - perfect for our golf get-away!

Golf Trip and Relaxation

Second stay here. We enjoyed the large, well furnished porch overlooking the 6th fairway, with plenty of privacy. The tasteful furnishings gave the feel of a cozy mountain cottage. We played golf and drove to Highlands, NC for some excellent dining options. Thoroughly enjoyed our time and will certainly stay again. Highly recommend.

Memorial Day Weekend Golf Getaway

Sparrows Rest is the best! We had a wonderful 4-day stay filled with golf, hiking, shopping, and dining. Sky Valley location is close to the Highlands and Clayton Georgia but far enough away to be secluded, peaceful, and quiet. The golf course is the main attraction but there are plenty of other things to do. Sparrows Rest is the perfect place to stay so you can experience all the area has to offer.

Anniversary 66 th.

The host was very gracious and accommodating . We had a very relaxing stay. Constructive criticism:; The view from the patio of the golf course could have been better if the shrubs had been trimmed down some.

Comfortable and peaceful

My husband and I met our son here for four wonderful days of golf, beautiful weather, a day at Clingman’s Dome and time together as we live in Florida and our son in Charlotte. The beds were comfortable and we slept well and spent a lot of time on the veranda overlooking the golf course. Very clean and Pamela and David were very accommodating. We hope to stay again.

Just What We Needed

My wife and I were looking for a quick weekend getaway during the Bear Shadow music festival. We also like to play golf and Sky Valley has a wonderful golf course. The accommodations were wonderful, right on the 6th Fairway, quiet easy to access, and close to everything we wanted to do. Thank you Pamela for providing Sparrow's Rest to us!

Anniversary Trip

The host was very nice and welcoming, even going so far as to leave snacks and bottles of water to help us feel welcome. One thing I was not aware of when we booked is that the condo is located on the basement level and the host lives upstairs. It wasn't a problem, just not something I was aware of when we booked. Aside from that we had a good experience staying at this condo.

At Sparrow’s Rest, Sky Valley Georgia

We had a wonderful time on our recent visit to Sky Valley! It was the perfect spot. Views of the gorgeous golf course and mountains. The weather and golf were great! ⛳️ Well, the weather was really phenomenal! Anyone who stays here won’t be disappointed!

Perfect for a family golf outing

Right on the golf course, we really enjoyed our stay. Course was beautiful, esp with the autumn leaves changing colors. Clubhouse was nice, but the pool and hot tub had closed Oct 16th for the season. The unit was clean and comfortable. Definitely has a cabin/cozy vibe with vintage pieces. The unit is a living room with one wall being the kitchenette and two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. All rooms have a door to the patio. It was about 15-20 minutes to the closest restaurants, but we didn’t mind the curvy roads into town.
