Get to Know Us

Sky Valley Resort

​

In the 1970s, a group of developers turned a 2,500 acre cattle ranch into a ski and golf resort. Located in the north Georgia mountains 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. 

 

The natural beauty, the serenity, the mild temperatures, the friendly locals, the activities both at the resort and nearby, have made this a family vacation destination for decades and, we hope, for decades to come.

  • Can I purchase a vacation week at the Sky Valley resort?
    Yes. We offer timeshare ownerships which mean that you own a specific week in a specific building and you can use that week each year or "bank" it at RCI and go somewhere else. The prices range from $300 to $1,200 for an initial purchase and the annual fee which covers all the expenses related to maintaining the building and the resort come out to about $119 a night.
  • Once I purchase a vacation week, what happens next?
    You will receive your deed from the Sky Valley resort office within a few weeks. You will then need to have it notarized (your bank is a good place) and mail it back to the office. You will then be the permanent owner of your villa and your week (Example Sawgrass G, week 30) and you may sell it, rent it to someone else, or trade that week for another of the same points at a different resort.
  • I am interested in buying at Sky Valley because the prices are so reasonable and vacationing elsewhere using the RCI exchange program. Can someone help me figure this out?
    Yes! Go to www.rci.com and there you will find how you can purchase at Sky Valley prices and vacation at other resorts around the world. It's really quite easy and they have great customer service help.
  • How do I figure out what the exact dates are for weeks 30-31 (for example).
    You need to consult a timeshare calendar. The date of your week will change each year by a few days. So perhaps one year your vacation will start on July 1 and the next year it will start on July 2. Here is a calendar you can consult. https://www.redweek.com/calendar
  • I have heard that even when you buy a timeshare, some places try to sell you more.
    At Sky Valley resort, we don't operate that way. Reading this website is the hardest sell you'll ever get. We're thrilled that you're considering buying what we think is one of the best deals out there and that you are discovering the amazing beauty and serenity of the north Georgia mountains.

What Can We Do at Sky Valley Resort?

Sky Valley is truly a glorious destination. With mild temperatures year round, there is always an outdoor activity that you can enjoy in the amazing beauty of the North Georgia Mountains. 

 

  • ​The Sky Valley Country Club golf course is one of the most spectacular ones on the East Coast with a fun but challenging layout and gorgeous views on every hole. Enjoy an after-round lunch or a elegant dinner at the clubhouse restaurant.

 

  • There are four tennis courts of hard court and two of clay and the resort pool complex features a heated outdoor pool with mountain views, a workout room, a sauna, indoor and outdoor hot tubs. And pickleball, two courts.

Just off site there is a longer one to the nearby fire tower which gives 360 degree views from the top and well worth the 45 minute hike.
