About this property
Skylark - Cozy Log Cabin with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and hot tub
Before booking, please see our note below regarding the AWD/4WD requirement and driveway access.
Skylark offers a relaxing place to stay & gather with loads of amenities, and is close to many surrounding towns & activities. Skykark is in Valle Crucis, about 5 minutes to the original Mast General Store, 10 minutes from Boone, 20 minutes from Banner Elk & Blowing Rock.
The cabin-style home features 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms & a livable loft: two king sized beds (one on the lower level which is a separated and private space located off of the garage and the other king bed is located in the private bedroom located off of the loft area), one queen (main level), and a twin daybed/trundle bed (loft) that can become a king. All bedrooms have easy access to the full bathrooms, have TVs and ample charging stations for electronic devices.
The home is thoughtfully designed to maximize space, comfort & natural light, while 2 levels of large porches with rocking chairs offer time to enjoy the surrounding trees & sounds.
The main living area has an open floor plan with plenty of seating, a gas log fireplace and TV.
The kitchen has granite countertops, an island with a cooktop, and SS appliances - all adjacent to a 6-seat dining table to enjoy meals together. The kitchen is conveniently stocked with coffee makers (Keurig & drip), toaster, toaster oven and cookware + utensils to make meal prep easy. A covered area gas grill is also on-site.
Ready to relax? A screened-in porch just off the main-level kitchen has a spacious hot tub for long soaks. Take a walk outside & enjoy the large fire pit surrounded by Adirondack chairs for a nights of s'mores and storytelling.
Skylark is accessible from both the bottom level and the main level. The bottom level has a washer/dryer and extra refrigerator for your convenience.
- ATTENTION: This cabin is located at the top of Miller's Mountain Trail which is a private, gravel road. AWD or 4WD is required year-round to access the home. You will not be able to reach the home without the proper vehicle; guests who attempt this will be charged for repairs to the road. Also parking is limited to 4 spaces at the cabin, you are not allowed to park at the other homes located on the road and may be towed.

There are enough of these items for one night, or maybe two. We do not provide hair dryers. Towels and linens will be provided
