We really enjoyed our stay at the skybox. The cabin was spacious, clean and peaceful. The host was in constant contact which was appreciated. If we visit Asheville again we will definitely book the skybox.
We love the location and views. The cabin was comfortable and had plenty of space for 10 of us. There was also stuff for our baby (crib, pack n play & high chair) which was wonderful. The charcoal was missing for the grills and one of the games downstairs was not working properly but not a huge deal for us. We loved our home away from home for the week and would highly recommend! Hope to visit again!
The Skybox is in an excellent location! Our party - 6 adults, were very comfortable in the size of this cabin each couple essentially having their own space on their own floor. We spent evenings in having home cooked meals in the kitchen that was fully stocked with everything you could need in the way of pots/pans/dishes/crockpot/glassware/silverware, etc. Loved having access to a dishwasher so that we did not have to do dishes by hand when on vacation. The host was very responsive to any message we sent, and even allowed early check in at no extra cost. Hatley Pointe seems to be very up and coming, posh/luxury atmosphere, and while the weather wasn't great skiing weather when we were there, we will definitely return.
A clean, spacious, and beautiful place to to enjoy a getaway!
My family and I stumbled upon this gem of a place for a quick vacation getaway. We were all pleased with the stay. The game room, kitchen, mountain views, and jacuzzi were my favorite. I didn’t want to leave and will definitely book again for a longer stay next time. I highly recommend this to be the place to stay!

Thank you Stephanie! So glad you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to hosting you again!
The Skybox was perfect for our long weekend getaway. It is an easy drive to Asheville but secluded enough to feel like you got away. The cabin is decorated perfectly and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Gorgeous views, relaxing hot tub, fun game room, this place had it all! We will definitely be back!

We had a great girls getaway at the Skybox! The home and scenery was just beautiful. The home was stocked with everything we needed and had lots of extras too! We enjoyed the hot tub and the large deck spaces.

Its not the ski in-ski out that is on the title but it is less than a 10 minute walk to the slopes. Made the day go by so much easier not having to drive. There is a path across the street to a blue slope.
The view off both of the back balconies are worth the stay alone. The property amenities were amazing. Our favorite part of the trip included the hottub. Plenty of space, and the owner was so quick getting back to us when we had questions on how to use the grill and the upstairs fireplace. Already looking to rent this place again in the spring or summertime!

We throughly enjoyed our stay at the Skybox. It was nothing short of spectacular. Clean, roomy, up to date. Nothing was left out when putting this cabin together! It had everything!

Thank you Matt! We worked very hard to make this happen so we appreciate the kind words!
Enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the quality of the kitchen equipment as well. Was hoping to enjoy skiing but we’re too late in the season, but the ski in/out is a real draw.
Beautiful views and sunsets. Clear night and lights out provide a fantastic view of stars.
We had a lovely stay at the Skybox and definitely plan on coming back! We might bring our own baby gates next time so we have a little extra baby proofing and peace of mind with our 1 and 3 year old. The gate that was there didn’t work well and wouldn’t stay up.
The view was beautiful and the house was perfectly clean and organized.
The cabin was very clean, comfortable and had a beautiful view. The lurched had everything we needed and the games kept us entertained. It was exactly what we expected from the pictures and description. The host was very quick to respond to questions. I would recommend this home hands down!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our cabin. We take great pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for our guests, and we're delighted that you found everything to your satisfaction. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we would be more than happy to host you again in the future.
This was initially planned as a family vacation for 7 and the Skybox would have accommodated us comfortably. The property is better than advertised.
But due to life's challenges, my wife and I got to enjoy a much-needed private getaway in the hills above the Asheville area.
The Skybox is very well appointed. We felt at-home immediately.

Thank you for the kind words Clyde! Very glad you and your wife got some time away!
The Skybox cabin was beautiful and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. It held our party if 11 very comfortably. I loved some of the little touches like the makeup towels.
During our stay the hot water heater died and was replaced which was unfortunate but the owner took care of it immediately and even made up for any inconvenience we experienced.
I defintiely would come back to this property!
Everything about this house was perfect other than only 1 of 3 showers working. However we were refunded for 1 night so the owners were kind to do that.
This house was great for our 2 families with kids. Game area was a hit along with the hot tub. It was nice weather weather, so we just left the back doors open and let them run around. Rooms are great size along with the bathrooms. Kitchen was stocked with all the necessary cooking equipment. We did have black bears come every night due to the trash cans not being bear proof, this was throughout the neighborhood though. This was pretty cool but maybe should be have a warning. We loved it and would definitely book again!

Hi Courtney! We're so happy to hear the place was great for your family and the game area and hot tub were a hit! Thank you for your feedback regarding the trash cans and the bear warnings! We will make sure to add it to our instructions ;) We look forward to hosting you again!
We can tell that the host took a lot of time to decorate and have everything equipped for this home. From the kitchen, every utensil you need to make a delicious meal is included. The cookbook is available for inspiration. Walking in the master bedroom, you can sleep on a tempurpedic mattress and lovely linen spray. Walking outside is the dining table which my kids love so much and enjoy an outdoor breakfast. The basement is kids heaven with a mini arcade. The view is breath taking for yoga and meditation. The hot tub is the place for rejuvenating after a long day of hiking. Definitely a come back place. Thank you for sharing your dream home with us. May you keep up your good work.
Too many keep pad boxes at front entrance, makes it very confusing on where you actually have to put the code. The air hockey table was broke, the house was not cleaned. The “hot tub” guy came the following day to fill the hot tub up. Communication between homeowners and the rental place they use is not efficient. The manager of the rental place was extremely rude and unfriendly. No one would come help us with the check in process as far as which keypad we were supposed to use. They refuse to refund anything or help in any way. Very disappointed in my stay. Let’s just say I’m glad to be home.
