Sky View | Smoky Mtn Retreat · Stunning Views · Game Room · Gated Community

🌅 Wake up to panoramic sunrise views at Sky View — a private 3BR/2BA retreat inside a gated golf community near Bryson City, NC. Knotty pine cathedral ceilings, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace 🔥 & granite kitchen with mountain views from the sink. Game room with Pac-Man/Golden Tee stand up arcade games, new pool table & Pop-A-Shot 🏀. Community pool/pickle ball/tennis 🏊, new deck/hot tub in May🛁, washer/dryer & pet friendly 🐾. Minutes from Great Smoky Mountain NP. Hosted by Gail & Erik.
You are staying in our home, relax, have fun, but please treat it with respect. 🌲 — THE SPACE —

Step inside and you’re immediately greeted by soaring knotty pine cathedral ceilings, warm hardwood floors, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace 🔥 that anchors the open-concept living area. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking panoramic views of the Smoky Mountains — a view you’ll never get tired of, whether you’re sipping your morning coffee ☕ or watching the colors change over the endless ridge lines as the sun sets.

The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and — yes — mountain views right from the sink 🍳. Cook a full meal together or grab a coffee from the Keurig before heading out to explore.

🛏️ — BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS —

Three comfortable bedrooms sleep your group in style, with quality linens and room to truly unwind after a day on the trails or in town. Two full bathrooms mean no waiting in line.

✨ — UNWIND & PLAY —

After a day of adventure, soak in the hot tub 🛁 (Coming - May 2026) under the open sky with mountain air all around you. Pull up a rocking chair 🪑 on the deck with a fresh cup of coffee and let the sunrise views do the rest — guests tell us it’s one of their favorite moments of the entire stay.

When the competitive spirit strikes, head to the game room 🎮: arcade games, a pool table, Pop-A-Shot basketball 🏀, and more make it a guaranteed good time for all ages. The gated community also features a shared sauna and pool 🏊 — perfect for cooling off after a summer hike.

With high-speed WiFi 📶 and Smart TVs with streaming throughout the home, quiet nights in are just as enjoyable as days out.

The washer and dryer mean you can pack light and stay longer — no hauling a bag full of dirty hiking clothes home. 👕

🐾 Pets are welcome! Bring the whole family.

⛳ — THE COMMUNITY —

Set within a beautifully maintained, private gated golf community, you’ll enjoy well-kept surroundings, added security, and a peaceful atmosphere that most mountain rentals simply can’t offer. Golf access is available for those who want to hit the links with a mountain backdrop.

📍 — EXPLORE THE AREA —

Sky View cabin has spectacular layered views of the mountains. Roads are a little steep but paved and cabin only 5 minutes from community gate entrance. Kitchen is well stocked, has a gas stove, and 2 dining areas that accomodated our group perfectly. Outdoor deck was a quiet place to relax. Location is approx. 20 minutes from Bryson City or Cherokee.
