The Space:
Western Sky sits at the top of the mountain ridge providing excellent views and experiences for those that visit. The owners said it best “We love how the clouds nestle in the valleys on both sides…dancing around, pushing gently up the mountainside. It’s absolutely mesmerizing.” They are so excited to offer this property and hope you will enjoy it as much as them.
It is a very easy drive via all paved roads winding up the mountain until you come directly to the cabin. It has ample parking for four vehicles, an EV charger and a covered patio and circular driveway to ease your mind and settle in to your mountain escape!

The main level deck has a gas grill, patio seating, dining table, and provides amazing views as you enjoy a cup of coffee or favorite beverage. The deck also overlooks the large fire pit and yard so you can keep an eye on the kids as they explore! Another great feature is the gates on the deck so your fur baby is safe.

The bathroom is just outside the hall with a tub shower combo, electronic bidet toilet, and full size washer and dryer. North Georgia is the trout fishing capital of Georgia.

The stairs to the upper level are just off the living room. You will first come to the game room loft.

Keep an eye out for the Blue Ridge mountain gang but don’t worry, they are harmless. Kick back on the futon or chair, light up the gas fireplace (no roughing it in these parts), and catch up on your favorite show on the smart TV. The futon will sleep two and all linens/pillows are provided.
