The Skies Collection

Stay at the top of the world with this collection of 2 mountain homes in the same tiny community on Wolf Ridge Mountain! Combining a large 4 bedroom home, with one additional 3 bedroom home - each with amazing views - your group of up to 14 guests will love the fresh air, solitude, and private hot tubs included at each home! These two homes are available to rent separately for smaller groups (links below) or as the full collection to provide plenty of space for everyone.

Sapphire Sky
Pack your bags for Sapphire Sky, a secluded mountain escape that's perfect for a high-elevation getaway. This open, rustic-industrial style home boasts four large porches and newly installed wall-to-wall windows that capitalize on the long-range mountain views. Experience stunning sunrises and sunsets over the valley from the comfort of a newly renovated home!

Beautifully decorated, Sapphire Sky is a spacious retreat that offers plenty of room for a large family or group of friends. You'll appreciate the comfort of the open living area, where a large sectional couch offers a place to kick back and enjoy the gas fireplace and built-in, flat screen 65" TV, which features Fire TV and a DVD player. Join together for meals at the custom-built, 9-foot walnut dining table, seating up to 12 people! Plus there's additional seating for five at the kitchen island. Home cooked meals never tasted better than when made on vacation! Sapphire Sky also includes a landline phone with free long distance to allow you to check in back home or at the office anytime.

After a long day exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains, cozy up by the gas fireplace in the privacy of the upper level main suite. A private porch, built-in flat screen TV with DVD player, and newly renovated attached full bath make the main suite ideal for absolute relaxation.

On the lower level, a second bedroom with a queen bed shares a full bath with the bunk area. The custom-built bunk bed area is perfect for kids, featuring two lower twin beds joined by a porthole between them (fun for whispering secrets back-and-forth!), and one extra-long twin bed on the upper bunk. Additional sleeping accommodations, a convertible sofa bed and 4 twin bed flip chairs, are available in a spacious loft that is accessed from the living area by a beautiful spiral staircase.

Experience vibrant mountain sunsets while soaking in the five-person hot tub! Everyone will love lounging in comfortable rocking chairs or enjoying a meal at the outdoor dining area, which overlooks scenic wooded and mountain views. The two upstairs porches provide more relaxing spaces, including a double hammock where you can forget all your worries under the star-filled night skies. For a fun-filled evening, roast marshmallows together over the outdoor fire pit! Discover a fantastic getaway that will leave you longing to come back again and again to Sapphire Sky.

Ruby Sky
One stay at this Western North Carolina mountain vacation home and you'll be coming back again and again to Ruby Sky! Close to endless opportunities for exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains, including skiing, hiking, and whitewater rafting, Ruby Sky offers cozy comfort--and a hot tub!--after a long day outdoors. The recently updated home comes to life with contemporary furnishings and stylish BoHo decor. Make your best home-cooked meal for friends and family in the fully equipped kitchen, plus there's a gas grill on the front porch that enjoys the best mountain views in the house (mountain views are also visible from the kitchen window).

Kids love staying in the twin beds in the playfully decorated loft, and everyone loves having their own bathroom! A coffee bar with a sink adds extra convenience to the two lower level bedrooms. Also a plus is the secondary lower level entrance in the master bedroom, and the off-street parking space just outside. After a day on the slopes or on the town, settle the kids upstairs and take a much-deserved break watching TV by the fireplace. Make this one a vacation to remember at Ruby Sky!
