In the 1970s, a group of developers turned a 2,500 cattle ranch into a ski and golf resort. Located in Rabun County, Georgia, on Rabun Bald mountain sits the city and resort of Sky Valley. At an elevation of 3,100 feet, it is Georgia's highest and coolest city.
I have been coming to Sky Valley since 1978. Having enjoyed it both as a child, a teen, a single man, and now as a father of four small children, I love it dearly and want to share this wonderful resort with you who may just develop the same passion I have and enjoy it for years to come.
My parents, who made that first purchase have only missed one year of the past 38. The natural beauty, the serenity, the mild temperatures, the friendly locals, the activities both at the resort and nearby, have made this our family vacation for decades and, we hope, for decades to come.
