    *** Derrick: "The views are spectacular and the cabin feels very cozy." ***

    Getting there is half the fun. Enjoy a relaxing drive through the mountains to Blue Sky cabin. The 30 minute drive from Bryson City to the cabin follows along a rushing stream through the mountains. This is a typical mountain road - very curvy. The cabin is located in the private community of Alarka Highlands which has its own hiking trails and a beautiful waterfall for you to discover.

    The main floor is a great area for family and friends to relax together. The space features a comfortable open floor plan, so all guests can interact from the kitchen, dining area or living room.

    >> Andrea: "This was the most relaxing and beautiful stay I have ever had." <<

    Melissa: "We loved every moment and felt right at home."

    >>HIKING from the cabin:
    Outdoor adventure is at your doorstep. The private nature of the Alarka Highlands community allows for nice hikes and views throughout. There is a hiking trail in the community and a waterfall which can be seen from the road.

    The AREA:

    Bryson City sits on the southern side of the Great Smoky Mountains. It abounds with natural beauty and outdoor fun. In the area, you will find plenty of venues for entertainment and adventure including: The Great Smoky Mountain Railroad, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Deep Creek tubing, Nantahala River Gorge, river rafting, Tuckasegee River, Tsali Biking, Fontana Lake, and the quaint mountain town of Bryson City with several breweries, shops, restaurants and the famous Polar Express.

    Other Things To Note:

    Once you enter the gate at Alarka Highlands, it will take you approximately 10 -15 minutes to reach the cabin as you climb higher in elevation. The main road into the community, while paved the majority of the way, is steep and curvy. About halfway into the subdivision, the main road turns into gravel. This road is also very curvy and bumpy in places. It is strongly recommended that your first trip to the cabin be during daylight hours. There are no street lights and the road is dark at night. After your first trip up, you will be a seasoned pro at mountain driving. All-wheel or 4WD is required by the community for road preservation. No UTVs, ATVs, RVs or motorcycles are allowed in the community.

    -- You will be requested to sign a rental agreement upon booking. You will also be charged a Damage Protection fee of $37 which provides insurance coverage for damage you might accidentally cause up to $3,000.

The cabin was cozy, but with plenty of room for our party of four. A new cabin, very clean, everything worked, one of the best places we have ever stayed. The view was outstanding! Like most of the other reviews, it is a long way from a town up a long winding road that is part gravel, but that is also part of its charm. Not remote, there are other cabins along the road. But you definitely do not want to arrive after dark. Hot tub was enjoyed by all. Kitchen very well equipped.

Stunning views and property

We go to Bryson City every fall and this is by far our favorite cabin. It has a gorgeous view, great property, and well-appointed house. The cabin was incredibly clean and a great set up for two couples. It had many amenities and everything we needed for a long weekend. We can’t wait to come back!

Fresh air and amazing mountain views!

This cabin was such a find! It sits nearly on top of a mountain and the views are spectacular! It was so nice to have coffee on the deck and take in the views. Our little family had a great time. The cabin was also well stocked with all the things we needed to be comfortable. All around great and would definitely go back!

The cabin was even better than the pictures. The host thought of everything! There were instructions for every appliance, a bundle of wood for the fire pit, coffee for the two coffee machines and a s’mores kit for the kids . The house was even fully decorated for Christmas and spotless. The host was very nice, helpful and available to assist with driving directions and make restaurant suggestions. The trip was even better than anticipated and this was the best VRBO we ever stayed in. We would not hesitate to return and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a mountain vacation.

Beautiful Home

We were here with someone who has terminal cancer so we wanted it to be special and it was. Lovely home and fire pit and views. We got used to the road but it is seriously twisty and steep so take their advice and go there in the daylight.

Beautiful cabin

It's always risky spending Christmas at a vacation home, but this cabin was absolutely perfect. More decorations inside than we have at our own house really made us feel we made the right choice. The sunsets from the back deck every night were unbelievable. The well stocked kitchen and awesome grill were appreciated and we made many great meals since it's a decent hike to Bryson City. We will definitely keep this listing in our favorites for a summer getaway option in the future.

Cabin in the clouds

Great property, house is amazing and the amenities are perfect. It is an interesting drive up the mountain to the house. In the summer your view will be blocked by trees. We would definitely book again. We enjoyed our stay immensely! I also proposed on the deck and got a yes!

Wonderful

The cabin was exceptionally clean and well maintained. We loved that it was very private and at times it felt like we were all alone in the mountains, which provided us with a relaxing and peaceful anniversary long weekend. The drive to the cabin through the neighborhood was long and slow due to the curvy and gravel road so we went shopping for groceries first for the whole trip so we did not have to go back and forth to town. Overall, a wonderful experience and beautiful cabin!

Beautiful house off the grid

Wonderful house, brand new, everything in good order. Extraordinarily well organized. Isolated place to spend without any distractions from the world! Drive is steep so make sure your car is up to it. Hiking trails are a drive away, aside from walking along the gravel road around the community. Gorgeous vistas of the mountains in the distance.

My kids and I came for a late fall break and we absolutely loved everything about this cabin. It is quiet, cozy, comfortable, beautifully furnished and overall just has an amazing look and feel. We really enjoyed the deck, the fire pit, the view, the privacy even with the other cabins nearby, relaxing by the fireplace and so much more. The cabin is also fully stocked, clean and very well maintained. You will not be disappointed! Michelle is a great host and you can tell she wants you to have the best experience possible during your stay and throughout the entire process. I appreciated the quick emails upon booking, the digital guidebook which included everything you could possibly need to know about the cabin, the emails with information once we arrived and before we left, and the binder, signs and labels in the cabin. She has really thought of everything and it made the stay so nice! My kids and I will have great memories when we look back on our time at Blue Sky Cabin!! We can’t wait to return!!

Just Relax & Enjoy

Beautiful home nestled up high in the mountains. Very clean and well kept. We enjoyed late nights in the hot tub and could see a million stars above. Unfortunately we only enjoyed 1 night at firepit due to weather but area was comfortable and relaxing. Mornings on the deck with coffee and tea were breathtaking. Jessica was easy to communicate with and very helpful if needed. Local waterfall/brewery tour and whitewater rafting were extra fun in addition to GSMNP and the local Nantahala area.

We spent our 30th anniversary at this property and had the absolute best time!! The house is phenomenal and has everything you can imagine. You can come here and never leave the property during your stay or you can come here and venture out daily like we did. The location is awesome and close to so many things once you get down off the mountain. The view from the cabin is spectacular. Highly recommended.!!!
