10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
We all had a great time.Kitchen was well stocked and property maintained. I might add to the listing a 4 wheel drive vehicle would be helpful. It is really up there.Beautiful scenery!
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2025
Beautiful decor and very interesting pieces all around. The hot tub was great. Pool table was used frequently but sure would be helpful to have a light over it. When the house was built they did not put light kits in any of the ceiling fans so most light was lamps. Kitchen had better lighting. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking implements. Our main issue was the steep driveway. Came in at night and the road coming up to the house was very steep and scary. Recommend and or 4 wheel.

Revelation from Big Sky Lodge in the Gateway Mountain Community on 5/8/21.
My son,Judd, and his family from Peru, Jazmin and little Jano, revealed the coming of precious Jolee into their lives in July of 2021. The inspirational mountain views became the setting to share their news with the world of their daughter making her way to this wonderful and beautiful planet. She will be one of many to keep hope alive for us all.
This took place on the porch of Big Sky Lodge. We give thanks to Greybeard Realty in Old Fort, NC and the owners who have opened up their spectacular home. In so doing, the Sanders' family were able to open their hearts from Big Sky Lodge!
Sincerely,
Ron Sanders
