About this property
Memorial Day Discount! Mountain Cabin, Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Views, Outdoor Bar
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. The cabin is located at 3740 ft elevation in the private community of Alarka Highlands. With each foot of elevation you climb, you will feel the stress being left behind.
You can enjoy the great outdoors from the privacy and comfort of this beautiful log cabin. Enjoy taking in the surrounding mountain views while soaking in the hot tub, watching the sun set over the mountains, or sit by the stone fire pit and roast marshmallows for your smores. Enjoy the clear mountain air from the wrap around porch, or the serenity of one of the 2 private bedroom balconies. If you like to grill out, the cabin is equipped with a grill on the covered porch for your enjoyment. In the evening, get cozy in the living room by the beautiful stone fireplace.
Downstairs features a comfortable open floor plan, so all guests can interact from the kitchen, dining area or living room. The luxury equipped kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. In the morning, grind fresh coffee with the Kitchen Aid coffee grinder, and in the evening, blend your favorite cocktail or smoothie in the Vitamix.
The first main level bedroom is off of the main living area and features a queen sized bed. Across the hall, the master bath has a walk-in shower and a jetted tub for 2. Just up the stairs , the cozy loft offers views of the surrounding mountains and a twin over full bunk bed. The second bedroom is also upstairs with a queen size bed and walk-in shower in the en suite bathroom. Both bedrooms feature private balconies.
For the comfort of our guests, there are also additional amenities such as HDTV with Direct TV, DVD player, televisions in both bedrooms, and internet access. Outdoor adventure is at your doorstep. The private nature of the Alarka Highlands community allows for nice hikes and views throughout.
Bryson City sits on the southern side of the Great Smokey 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 and restaurants.
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 roads into the community, while paved the majority of the way, are steep and curvy. The secondary roads and driveways in Alarka Highlands are gravel. After your first trip up, you will be a seasoned pro at mountain driving. All-wheel or 4-wheel drive is strongly recommended during the winter months.

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.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Sky cabin! Excellent amenities, majestic views, and that “home away from home” feel. Thank you for sharing this beautiful cabin!
The cabin was amazing! It was the perfect getaway for an amazing birthday weekend! The views are stunning and the sunset cannot be beat! We will definitely be back!
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!
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!
This was the best hosted property I’ve ever seen. From the detailed instructions and directions, the virtual guidebook, the spotless inside and landscaped exterior, the labeled and WELL-STOCKED supplies. This house was perfect!
Wonderful cabin. As advertised. The host was very communicative beforehand and we felt like we knew everything about the place before we even got there. Loved the view, porch, and hot tub.
This was, hands down, the cleanest vacation rental we have ever stayed in. The cabin was very well appointed and the view did not disappoint! My kids loved the fire pit and were so excited to see the smore making kit in the kitchen.We will definitely be back!
Nice place to rest and relax. Ample room for a family of 5. A bit off the beaten path so make sure you have groceries and a good book to just unwind once you get there.
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!
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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.

My husband and I absolutely loved our time at the cabin. It was like a resort! I took a bath in the full size tub every day! And the porch has a tremendous view! We felt like we were in a 5 star hotel. It was wonderful. So thankful this cabin was available.
Everything was beautifully kept and maintained. So clean and I very much appreciated the owners checking in with me when the weather included snow. Highly recommend them!
Absolutely amazing and the owners made sure everthing was perfect by checking in. Top notch service and we will absolutely be back. Views are the best I've seen in North Carolina!
