UPDATE: Sapphire Sky has just completed a major renovation with an additional 1,000 square feet of living space! New wall-to-wall windows overlook what some consider the best view in Wolf Laurel. The new floor plan includes a large living room, a gourmet kitchen and dining area, an updated bedroom with a full bath, and a loft space.
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 land line 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 master suite. A private porch, built-in flat screen TV with DVD player, and newly renovated attached full bath make the master 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 port hole 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.
