Thanks! I strive to show our home and the activities in the area, so I love to take quick photos amid our own visits to share on the website! It also helps guests plan ahead who gets which bedroom and how much room they have for the whole clan! Y’all were great guests! Please come again!
Wonderful hosts. Very accommodating even with a hurricane/tropical storm. Amazing stay. Will stay again!! House had enough space for everyone in the family. Loved the wood burning fireplace. My daughter and her friend loved the lower level. The house is located near a lot of fun outdoor activities and restaurants. Very relaxing. Great fall break. Hope to be back soon!

Enjoyed hosting your extended family! I know the area afforded them innumerable adventures by day/evening, and our home was comfortable for the in-between adventures and time together around the proverbial kitchen table (or pool table)! Please come again! Vicki
This home is absolutely wonderful. It’s very spacious and clean. This was the perfect place for our Annual Thanksgiving family getaway. The host are very accommodating and go above and beyond for their guests. I definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for an amazing home away from home.

Property is beautiful, all you need for a great getaway and the host is absolutely the best at communicating and making sure you have a great time, will definitely go back! My family really enjoyed this trip over Christmas.
Very homey, good area, good perks of access to pool, trails, hot tubs, and tennis/pickleball courts. Great sights and views. Ping pong table was a hit!

Agree with you "Skylands" is a home that's in such a great location for outdoor activities, has indoor comforts and fun things for all ages, and yes, the ping pong (and pool table) are great fun for all! They bring back happy memories from my childhood. Please come again soon!
Would love to have you back for another golf tourney or other special event! Major consideration when we bought this house was its walking distance proximity to the Sky Valley golf course...teen son is huge golfer! Just let me know! Vicki
we had a wonderful family time. The house was a perfect fit for our family!

So glad to hear this, as it’s what we strive to accommodate and enable…extended families and friends to build incredible memories…all the intangibles. Thank YOU for providing this to your loved ones!
This house was just perfect for our family of 14. The ping pong and pool table kept us entertained. The kitchen was very well stocked. Thank you

So glad to hear "Skylands" was perfect for your family! Yes, to me a mountain house needs a big pool table and ping pong (hint: great childhood memories!)! After a day of hiking, golf, or tennis, it's a great way to end the day! A couple years ago, a guest sent a photo of great grandmother playing pool at our house with her great grandkids. I thought: what memories they made! Priceless times together! Thank you for commenting on this (and the kitchen)! Please come again! Vicki
Spacious, clean, beautiful home with excellent check-in / owner communication!

Many thanks for these comments, which are very meaningful to us (and our cleaning crew) and pertinent to what we want to provide our guests! Hope the golf tourney at neighboring Sky Valley Club was a lot of fun, and your group enjoyed being together! Glad you chose "Skylands" for this rendezvous of friends, and please come again! Vicki
We had a great weekend in the mountains with our friends that are family! The weather was cold but the fire and football were great! The owners were fabulous and were awesome with communication! Thanks for the great weekend!

So glad to hear the weekend went well! Loved your snow tubing photo from Highlands Outpost near our house! You all looked happy and relaxed! Please come again!
Was special to have you wrap up Thanksgiving week-end at our "Skylands"! Sounds like you and your family were very busy and so happy to hear about your hiking nearby! Need to come again soon - even more to do and see year-round! Vicki
Had a great time at this cabin. Location was great, the view was outstanding. Plenty of space for all 6 of us in the cabin. Highly recommend

Thanks for sharing your family found our house to be such a good fit for an extended family gathering and located so well to appeal to many interests! Loved the photos of your kids at the snow tubing place just 5 minutes away and the sunset walk on the golf course! Reminded me of searching for golf balls after supper with my grandparents when I was a child! Easy to be super attentive owners when we have such pleasant and flexible guests ... even when the months’ long-awaited pool table arrived mid-visit! Look forward to having you again! Vicki
Nice large home that accommodated 11 (5 adults, 6 kids) of us comfortably! Vicki was so prompt in her communications and proactively had sent all the information we needed well in advance of our stay. We loved the big deck out back and overall had a great stay!

Thanks for your nice comments! Great news we were a good "fit" for your family including kids! Now 2 sets of bunkbeds in the bunkroom next to the rooms with the pool table and the ping pong = happy kids = happy adults (probably out on the deck, right?)!!!
