Skye Island Retreat Center
Cloudland, Alabama
Located in the mountains of Northeast Alabama are 46 acres of woodland on the brow of Lookout Mountain with spectacular views, soaring hawks, abundant plant and animal life and the loving supportive healing energy of the land and sky.
This modern facility features a large living room, a spacious fully equipped kitchen, both with wrap around windows that reveal a breathtaking view of the valley 1200 feet below. The main house and cabin include some semi-private accommodations as well as bunk/dorm space. (Can house 18 – 20 guests) A hot tub for six with a cliff view on the wrap around deck is one of many amenities that are offered at Skye Island.
Skye Island now has a 48 foot diameter Chartres style permanent in-ground labyrinth. Feel free to walk this labyrinth at your convenience.
We want to extend to you a most warm welcome to our Skye Island home. We will do all we can to make your stay with us comfortable, playful and relaxing and conducive to the renewing of your spirit in the love. We invite each of you to join us in the care and reverence of the land and facilities and to bask in the wonder of the surrounding nature.
