This is an excellent property! Best views we have ever enjoyed! Loved the decks, game rooms, large dining table for the whole family! Very well equipped kitchen! Went horseback riding and hiking. Did a day trip to Boone! Will definitely be back!

Clean, beautiful view. We found it in the dark but it wasn’t terribly easy. One of the final turns had an inaccurate road sign. I rented a 4 wheel drive jeep, although a plain ‘ol hybrid Honda SUV navigated the gravel road/driveway just fine albeit no rain or snow hindering our journey. Our plane was late so arriving past 10:30 wasted the check in day…adding insult to injury, the code BlueRidge gave us didn’t work…we stood outside well over half an hour on phone with Emergency Contact trying to access the house. Not fun late at night and frustrating given Blue Ridge’s strict rules & policies applied to guests…and yet they can screw up like that while collecting full fair. Luckily no bears were running around while 8 young and older women are all standing around in the dark waiting on a code that worked.

The house was extremely well equipped, especially the kitchen. The views from the minute you walk in are spectacular... The house was lovely. My family and I had a wonderful time. Thank you very much for providing such an incredible piece of property...

Skytop Retreat is a beautiful home with amazing views. And I would perhaps return. However, some caveats that future renters should know: As the listing says, bring a 4-wheel drive vehicle, with substantial well maintained tires, no low profile fancy wheels. Our door code did not work, really no big deal if the property management company would actually answer the phone - this one kind of put everyone in a sour mood since we were a two party separated arrival. Of note, the house, while overall fairly clean, could use a thorough dusting - many surfaces had dust and many dust bunnies were seen - as well as previous renter’s hair. Bring your own blankets, not every bedroom had one. Contrary to the description, the internet service was provided through Starlink - which was great. The fireplace in the main floor bedroom did not function. And lastly, at some point an unknown person entered the locked garage and removed the garbage from the cans. While we did appreciate the fact that garbage was removed, we ABSOLUTELY DID NOT appreciate having an unknown person - without our knowledge - enter what we thought was a secure space with our vehicles and personal belongings. That’s how bad things happen folks - a knock at the door or a call should be mandatory before anyone ever enters a property. Aside from that, future renters, enjoy your time at Skytop Retreat. It is overall pleasant and very nice.
