About this property

Big Sky Retreat- Pet Friendly | Game Room | Hot Tub with Views

Big Sky Retreat dons its name from its sweeping, western-facing vista as far as the eye can see. Perched on the edge of Sunrock Mountain, this luxurious retreat offers breathtaking views of the Cohutta Mountains. The sunsets are simply stunning here, making every evening magical. With three viewing decks and a fabulous backyard and fire pit, you will be immersed in a scene of wilderness and beauty.

Everything about Big Sky Retreat is big — from the bedrooms and living areas, to the decks and surrounding land. That big mountain feel is brought indoors by the wilderness theme woven throughout the cabin, with thoughtful details such as an antler fan chandelier, saddle bar stools, a cowhide rug and more. Even the bathrooms feature wildlife decor, from fishing-style accessories in one to pinecone accents in another, and a bear theme in the third.

Adventurous spirits will relish the exciting mountain activities nearby. Start the day with an energizing hike to get your blood flowing. Explore waterfalls or even take on the rapids with some whitewater rafting. Then head out for a horseback ride to take in views of the beautiful countryside, and catch a music festival in town.

When blue skies prevail, there's plenty to do right outside your door. Play horseshoes while your designated 'Master Griller' gets some burgers going for the gang. Someone else can whip up side dishes in the roomy, open kitchen to round out the perfect barbecue dinner, or a gourmet feast instead if the occasion calls. Then, everyone can head down to the large fire pit, enjoy a nightcap as the sun sets, and wind down with a relaxing soak in the hot tub while stargazing.

But rain or shine, whatever the sky has in store, there's always big fun to be had at Big Sky Retreat. Use the huge table in the loft to put together a puzzle on a rainy day. And there are plenty of games, books and cards to entertain the kids for hours. Or pop some popcorn and watch a movie. In cooler months, fire-up the crock pot for a meal you can start in the morning and come back to at night. Presto! Dinner's ready, leaving you the whole day to enjoy.

After a full day of fun and adventure, three spacious bedrooms with sumptuous king-size beds and beautiful rustic furniture await you. Curl up with a page-turner or watch a show before settling in for a restful night's sleep.

Big space, big views and big fun — this luxury cabin has it all. Making the most of your mountain vacation will be a breeze at Big Sky Retreat.

The House is great and the location is awesome.

The Basement Bedroom does not have a window!? The bed frame was broken and the bed was sagging in the middle. There were German Roaches in the kitchen and in the Bath on the main floor. Everything else was amazing.

Idyllic Mountain Getaway!

If you are hesitant on booking, don’t be! This property was well maintained and beautiful, offering a perfect little getaway for my husband, myself and our beloved dog. The kitchen was well stocked and there was no shortage of good quality linens/towels. The upper level porches provided the perfect place to watch the sunset and listen to the peaceful sounds of nature. We also had a great time making s’mores around the fire pit in the evening and downtown Blue Ridge is just a quick drive away. If there is any complaint (which I’d be pressed to have one), it was that the wifi was spotty at best. Not a huge inconvenience for a weekend where the point was to unplug, but if I had needed to work, it would have been an issue. Overall, we loved our time at Big Sky and can’t wait to visit again in the near future!

Great stay in the mountains

This place has amazing views and was in a great location. The property looked as advertised, although it was not completely clean. The linens and bathrooms and counters were fine but the floor was a bit dirty, the porch was dirty and there were some spider webs around the interior and exterior. It was not a big deal at all and we just cleaned up quickly ourselves. There were only 2 horseshoes but we made it work. The fire pit was fun and the hot tub worked just fine. The property was great and we would absolutely rent again! The management company was amazing as well. They helped me through a payment issue as well as an issue we accidentally caused at the cabin. We will rent through this company again!

BIRTHDAY celebrations

The property location is beautiful. I do feel there could be a little information regarding the drive up the Mountain and that arrival during daylight hours is a must on your first day. The spacial plan for the interior is perfect however the cleanliness needs improvement! Wood floors were dirty, blanket in first floor master was stained and toilets need to be updated. The refrigerator back was busted, missing compartments on the door and leaked when putting groceries in and again when packing them up to leave. I recommend a new refrigerator since almost every comment in the guest book referred to problems with the refrigerator. We had to purchase filters for the coffee maker even though we had brought coffee. A coffee maker should have proper filters for guest to make coffee they have brought. With a few improvements this could be a four star ⭐️ place. However, after staying in VRBO HOUSES “Big SKY Retreat” only gets a 3 star ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ For now. Hope this helps implement improvements for such a beautiful place in the sky, JERRI AND FRIENDS

Infested with cockroaches

While it was a beautiful home exactly as described, the house was infested with cockroaches. Every morning when I would turn on the lights they would scurry away from where they came, which was into the outlets, under the sink, behind the oven, and through a crack under the window. I have never been so disgusted in my life. I went to the store and bought raid and cockroach traps and the amount they caught was staggering. Needs immediate attention from a professional.

Relaxing Staycation

The six of us spent a wintery cold weekend on top of a mountain in this cozy well situated cabin. The cabin was very clean and well stocked. Walking in the snow flurries or sitting around the fire pit were out outdoor activities. Inside the two year old has plenty of room to roam while the adults enjoyed the gas fireplace. Only problem we had was overnight heat regulation. With bedrooms on three floors, someone was too hot or too cold every night. On our third night, we tried leaving the bedroom doors open and that helped some.
