Sky Barn Retreat in Beech Mountain w/ Views & Deck

  5/5

  Can’t say enough about this place and the owner, Chrystol. We were in awe of the views from the house. Our friends nearly fell over as did my brother and uncle when they arrived a few days later. Chrystol’s communication was prompt, friendly, and helpful during our stay. She has truly thought of everything for a complete Beech Mtn experience. Loved being in the low to mid 70’s during the day while our home back in North Myrtle Beach was in the 90’s. Our only negative had nothing to do with Chrystol or the home as we were side swiped leaving town by an out of control driver. My family can’t wait to get back up to the Sky Barn for another great time. Thank you Chrystol for sharing your home with us.

  From the owner: "Hi Ben,
  Thank you for being wonderful, considerate guests. It was a pleasure to host all of you. I’m so happy that everyone had an enjoyable stay and loved the views. I’m really sorry about the car incident. Not a fun way to end your vacation. I hope the situation has been resolved. Thank you for the wonderful review. I hope you will choose Sky Barn Retreat the next time you visit Beech Mountain."

  We had a great stay! The home had amazing views, perfect location, easy access to Banner Elk and other area features—the quiet was perfect busy family members! The home is a wonderful knotty pine accented hideaway that has cozy spaces for each person — well furnished and equipped, the property has the customer’s every need thought out and provided. We loved the downtime to simply see the beauty of sunrises and sunsets!!!

  5/5

  Our group had an amazing stay at Sky Barn! The location is perfect! This property has amazing views, stunning sunsets (oh the sunsets!!), is walking distance to the top of Beech Mountain Resort (direct lift access), and close driving distance to all of the nearby towns you'd want to visit. The house is beautiful and very comfortable; we felt right at home. We saw so many deer along the drive to/from the house; although we were disappointed that we did not get to see any bears, which we heard had been visiting shortly before our arrival. We did have snow flurries the morning we checked out, which was exciting for us Floridians! One thing to note, do your best to arrive before dark. Our flight was delayed and it was midnight by the time we arrived. It was lightly raining and in addition to the winding roads, the drive in the DARK and FOG was not something I would like to do again. I was so white-knuckled that I thought I may not leave the property again until it was time to check out. Fortunately, the fog lifted by late morning and we made our way out of the house. I definitely recommend the shortcut, it saves about 5 mins and the drive is much less winding roads and not on the edge of the road either. I would also recommend stopping at grocery store before heading up the mountain to check in.Highly recommend Sky Barn. Wonderful Spring Break in the NC mountains! Thank you!

• Fabulous Home

  5/5

  Sky Barn is an amazing home on the tip top of the mountain with an amazing view and an amazing sunset. The house is cozy and comfy and has everything you need. Kitchen is stocked amazingly with spices, olive oil and all the kitchen supplies you need to cook. Towels are great quality and the master bed is heavenly! Take note that you are on the top of the mountain so make sure you have what you need as it is not a quick run to the store if you forgot something. Highly recommend the house and will definitely rent again if we return to the area.
