About this house rental
Under three hours from Atlanta, Lotts of Sky is the mountain getaway families remember long after the vacation ends. Tucked between Highlands and Cashiers on a private wooded mountainside, the home is surrounded by forest and filled with the soothing sounds of Big Creek and its nearby waterfall.
Designed for multi-generational vacations, Lotts of Sky offers three king suites for the adults, a Kids' Camp Room and Kids' Clubhouse for the younger guests, four stone fireplaces, a hot tub beneath the trees, wraparound porches, and a chef's kitchen built for memorable family meals. Whether you're hiking Whiteside Mountain, browsing the shops of Highlands, enjoying dinner at nearby Oak Steakhouse, or roasting marshmallows around the outdoor fireplace, every day ends the same way—together.
Skyline Lodge and Oak Steakhouse are just a seven-minute walk from the front porch, while downtown Highlands is only ten minutes away.

A Place Where Kids Unplug and Families Reconnect
We purchased Lotts of Sky six years ago because it felt different from every other mountain home we visited. It wasn't just beautiful—it was designed for families to be together without ever feeling crowded. Since then, we've continued to make thoughtful improvements to create the kind of mountain getaway we'd want for our own family.
The four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home comfortably sleeps six adults and six children, with a layout that gives everyone room to relax while naturally bringing everyone together. Mornings begin with coffee on the porch and the sounds of Big Creek drifting through the trees. Evenings end around the outdoor fireplace, soaking in the hot tub beneath the stars, or sharing stories beside one of the three indoor stone fireplaces.
At the heart of the home is a gourmet chef's kitchen featuring a six-burner gas range, generous prep space, and everything needed for everything from pancake breakfasts to holiday feasts. Whether you're cooking after a day on the trails or preparing Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family, the kitchen becomes part of the experience.
Kids usually claim the entire lower level as their own. The Kids' Camp Room sleeps six children (95-pound weight limit per bunk), while the Kids' Clubhouse features ping pong, foosball, mini billiards, cornhole, and board games. Outside, the backyard zip line and surrounding woods keep the adventures going long after the hiking boots come off.
Guests often tell us they love how peaceful and secluded the property feels while still being close to everything. You can spend the morning hiking to waterfalls, the afternoon shopping or dining in Highlands, and be back in time to watch the sunset from the porch without ever feeling rushed.

• 8 minutes to Downtown Highlands
• 15 minutes to Cashiers

Whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday, gathering three generations for Thanksgiving, escaping the summer heat, or simply looking for a peaceful mountain retreat, Lotts of Sky offers the perfect home base for making memories together.
Dogs are welcome! We simply ask that they stay off beds and furniture, remain leashed outdoors, and that owners clean up after them. A pet fee applies.
Need additional space? Reserve the detached garage apartment along with the main house to accommodate up to 16 guests (10 adults and 6 children). See our combined Vrbo listing (#2225631) for details.
The best vacations aren't measured by how much you do—they're measured by the memories you make together. We hope Lotts of Sky becomes one of those places your family returns to year after year.

We had a wonderful time. The decks and outside fireplace were fantastic. Property clean. Kitchen has all we needed. Communication with host was the best I’ve ever experienced. Some things a little dated and need some cozy blankets. But would definitely stay again and highly recommend it.

Great stay! Home owner was extremely responsive and provided helpful information, which elevated stay further!

House was beautiful in a convenient yet quiet location. Plenty of room for 6 adults and teens. Multiple indoor/outdoor fireplaces. Marty was very responsive to any issues that came up. Would highly recommend for a Highlands visit.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2024
Let me start out by staying Marty, one of the property co-owners/property managers could not have been nicer and more accommodating, as well as a good communicator. We had a couple of things go wrong while there, but he was right on top of it. There is a crack in the main level tub that renders it unusable, however Marty let me know this in advance that they were looking into a fix. From a location standpoint, the property is extremely remote and a bit difficult to get to, and is very private on a remote one lane road in a development that never really developed. It allows plenty of natural light and the feeling of being in a treehouse.
From an overall rating standpoint, I cannot give this property more than a 3.5 to 4 star rating. The home is nice, has great bones and potential, but needs a total makeover from a decor/furnishings standpoint. Most all the furniture/decor is very old, drab, worn out, and uncomfortable. Additionally, the old creaky antique bed and mattress on the main level is completely shot and probably the most uncomfortable bed we’ve ever sleep in. I’m talking very bad! The other bedrooms have newer and very comfortable mattresses, so our other guests sleep comfortably, so it’s the main level only that needs replacing. That’s my review in a nutshell. They need to drop about $15k - $20k on new bed/mattress and furnishings, as well as replace the main level tub and this would be a 5 star property. Just keeping it real.
