This was our second year in a row visiting the area. Last year we stayed in Clayton atop Screamer Mountain. This year we chose to stay in Sky Valley as my husband is an avid golfer.
There are SO many wonderful things about this property! Proximity to splendid golf course, absolutely adorable home and VERY well appointed. My husband wanted to buy it on the spot! Everything about this older home has been updated, leaving all the charm. Karen is clearly a decorator, as this is by far the best decor we have found in a VRBO. Super clean and all supplies / amenities in the kitchen and all rooms are top notch, By far our favorite space was the adorable deck, with the hot tub, fountain and sitting space. We spent 99% of our time on it, and it really is the total reason to rent this place! Everywhere you look there is something quaint to see, the little "mushroom patch" outside the back door, the area under the stairs, the massage chair!!! Use of the golf cart is a big bonus to tool around Sky Valley.
The single disadvantage to this home is that it is FULLY wooded; no view and while sunlight is visible through the trees, the house remains pretty much dark all day. I might think about removing some of the trees, purely for sunlight purposes. Definitely not all, but some could go :)
Despite that, the view surrounds you when you get in the car, so pick your poison. We chose the cute house :) Will definitely be back! Thank you Karen for an awesome weekend!
