Words and pictures really can't do this place justice. It was amazing. The house was well stocked, well decorated, and super cozy. The owners left many wonderful things to entertain ourselves, like TVs, puzzles, and games. But if you want to unplug and just take in the beauty of the North Carolina mountains, just book the Sky Barn. I spent hours watching the fog glide through the valley below or clouds consume a peak beyond. I spent hours watching incredible sunbeams and shadows dance along the nearly 180 degree view. I watched birds floating on thermals or landing in the trees below. Every evening, we stood on the deck taking in the last sunlight as the sun set behind the mountain ridge. Absolutely breathtaking view.

My family and I stayed at the Sky Barn for a Land of Oz visit. The location was absolutely perfect! Sky Barn was an incredibly clean and comfortable accommodation for our entire family. Chrystol was responsive and helpful with a few questions we had during our stay, including staying an additional night. Highly recommend for a mountain getaway!

There are no words to really adequately describe how amazing our stay was. The views alone are all this property needs but then you add the cleanliness, the decor, the space inside and outside…all really top notch. Everything was truly spectacular and our family had an amazing time.

Wonderful views. Very clean and comfortable. Perfect getaway for groups or famalies.

This is a beautifully situated home perfectly positioned to view the sunset and the lovely valleys below. The surroundings were quiet. The house was well stocked and nicely decorated. The spa was immaculate and professionally cleaned mid week. Cozy robes were available in the master bath. Robes are so bulky to pack so this was greatly appreciated! Getting up to the house takes considerable time on a narrow and winding road so I would advise stocking up on groceries to avoid frequent trips out. We did have issues with our GPS not wanting to take the best path to the house. The property manager did send written instructions so once we got that route down we just ignored the GPS instructions. We knew when we initially booked this property that it clearly specified that it did not have AC. However, we found out later that AC was recently installed on the main floor. This was wonderful as all of those lovely windows let in a lot of afternoon heat regardless of the solar shades being pulled down so the AC kept it comfortable. The heat upstairs did make for some uncomfortable sleeping conditions. In all fairness, the weather was likely unusually warm the week that we were there so perhaps this is not usually an issue. The property manager did say that installing AC upstairs is in their future plans.

We went to Sky Barn with friends and had a wonderful long weekend. The views are breathtaking! They have thought of every detail which makes your stay even better.

We had the best time! The views are unbelievable! We could see at least 8 firework shows going on. The house had everything we needed and then some! We cooked several meals with ease. The only complaint would be the master bedroom mattress. It had dips in both sides with a hump in the middle which makes for rough nights. We would still not hesitate to come back. Loved the little touches left by the host.

Fabulous views and location. The property was amazing.

Four couples stayed in this house over a long weekend. Everything was in great shape and the manager checked in with us on several occasions to be sure all was going well. We had several questions which she answered promptly. One must climb stairs to get into the house and to reach three of the four bedrooms. If mobility is an issue for anyone, that needs to be taken into consideration. Everything about his house was first-rate. There were ample pots and pans and dishes for eight people. It is quite a drive up Beech Mountain, so be sure you have everything you need before you arrive. Several of our group hiked around the house while others went to Boone and visited some waterfalls in the area. It must be a much different environment in the winter when there is snow on the ground. We would certainly stay here again sometime in the future.

Our stay at the Sky Barn Retreat was wonderful. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook and enjoy our stay there. The views were spectacular. Our group of eight friends commented that this was a memorable weekend getaway.

It was a wonderful week, the perfect balance between relaxation and exploration. We spent the week with my sons family. In the evenings we enjoyed playing cards and watching the sunset. The hot tub and solo stove was a blast as well, especially with the kids. One evening we even grilled hamburgers outside. We highly recommend the local trails. Our favorite new find is lower pond creek. The hike features a series of small waterfalls and is a mile downhill one way. The house is absolutely stunning with wide range mountain views and was very clean and accommodating for our large group. Thank you Sky Barn Retreat!!

We could not have asked for a more spectacular view from this beautiful luxury home. It was a perfect home away from home get away. If this house didn’t have it then you didn’t need it. This house could easily accommodate three families with a whole separate area for kids and teenagers on the lower level. Thankyou for sharing your beautiful home.

From the second we drove up Oz Circle and stepped in this house we knew we were in paradise. The views from the balcony's were beyond breathtaking. Waking up in the clouds was a once in a lifetime experience. Amazing property manager, Chrystol, as well who was sure to text back immediately with any questions we had. The accessibility to Beech Mountain was so convenient and the neighborhood deer became our fast friends to drive by everyday. We WILL be back!!

Beautiful view from the top of the mountain.

The house was beautiful and well stocked. The views off the back deck were amazing! The house was very close to Beech Mountain Ski resort. The bottle of wine from a local winery was such a nice touch!

5 stars!
