We had a lovely stay at Skylight house. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The kids had a nice time playing basketball and playing in the game room (though the pool table room was too small for the pool sticks, we still had fun).

If you or someone in your party is sensitive or allergic to mold/mildew this is not the property for you. I could tell right away that Skylight was going to be a health issue for us. We stayed eight weeks while our new home was being completed. We couldn't find another property for our time period, so had to make a go of it. We immediately purchased construction plastic and closed off the dining room where the mildew smell was very strong. We had one medical grade IQ Air Purifier and purchased another so that we could run one in the great room and another in the bedroom.The Host sent someone to test for mold, but apparently readings were just within the allowable parameters. My body is the canary in the coalmine, figuratively. My ears swell shut and I experience extreme fatigue when when I am exposed to mold.The exterior of the house is in poor condition (needs paint, some siding needs replacement, gutters pulling away from the fascia board, some deck boards are bowed and need to be replaced). Host was very responsive about most issues I raised. She had the gutters cleaned, she had the hvac serviced, replaced broken pockets on the refrigand sent a new doormat. She also waived the cleaning fee. But she did not take the mold/mildew issue seriously. She said readings were within legal limits. The siding on the exterior of the dining room was rotten at the bottom, near the entry door. You could put fingers in and the wall insulation. I have no more words.

Response from Management on 10 Nov 2026
I’m sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your stay. However, I do feel it is important to provide some additional context for future guests reading this review. Throughout your eight-week stay, you contacted me frequently, sometimes 3–4 times a day, with various concerns and requests. I responded to every issue you brought to my attention and arranged for numerous technicians and professional companies to visit the property. We went to considerable expense and effort to address your concerns and make your stay as comfortable as possible. Most importantly, I took your concerns about mold and mildew very seriously. We hired a professional environmental testing company to assess the property, and the report confirmed that there were no elevated mold levels, although higher moisture levels were identified. We subsequently had our HVAC company inspect and service the system, after which you indicated that the conditions inside the home had improved. I have documentation of the testing and the work performed. Within the first week of your stay, after receiving an extensive list of complaints, I also offered you a full refund for the remainder of your reservation if you preferred to find alternative accommodations. You chose to stay for the full eight weeks. I acknowledge that Skylight is an older home and that some exterior maintenance is needed. We have never represented it as a new or luxury property, and our pricing reflects the age and character of the home. The exterior maintenance concerns you mentioned are separate from the indoor conditions that were professionally evaluated. In my years of hosting, I have never dedicated as much time, attention, or resources to addressing one guest's concerns as I did during your stay. While I understand that the property did not meet your personal expectations, I respectfully disagree with the suggestion that your concerns were not taken seriously. We made every effort to accommodate your requests, including arranging professional inspections, completing repairs, and waiving your cleaning fee. We take guest comfort and property maintenance seriously and will continue to do so. I wish you all the best in your new home.

The location of the house was great and close to many activities in the area. The host was very responsive. My son loved the game room and gaming options. The living room was spacious and comfortable.We did have to wipe out the fridge when we got there. And there were still crumbs on the toaster.A few things could have been more updated: The banisters were a little shaky, the slate walkway into the house was missing some stone and was uneven and got really muddy.

We stayed with our kids for our 9th anniversary. The kids really enjoyed the games and books in the living room. I was very excited to enjoy the fire pit to roast some marshmallows. We drove up the mountain and played mini golf and drove the go-carts. We then went up to a lookout and took photos. Overall it was a nice weekend.

We had a great weekend stay at this house. Very clean and spacious and the kids loved the game room. Happy there was a full assortment of cooking pans and utensils since we cooked more often than planned. Checking in and out was super easy.
