About this property

SkyBarn on Rocky Knob - Views, Relaxation, Adventure, Game Room & Hot Tub

Relax with your family or friends at this peaceful retreat on top of the Silverleaf community at a whopping 4200’ elevation. Enjoy towering mountain views of Rich Mt. as you rest on our deck swing & rockers. Once well rested, take a hike on the private “high trails” accessible within our community at 5200’ or simply unwind in our hammocks nestled along the wooded yard. Finish your day soaking in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit, curling up by the gas stove or visiting our basement game room.

We needed some R&R from the heat on the coast
We enjoyed the cool weather and quiet atmosphere, at first we were concerned about the lack of AC but quickly found out after an initial warm arrival that fans and the window ac in the bedroom was all we needed. I

5 stars is not enough!!
We had a fantastic weekend at the SkyBarn. The house was very clean, cosy and well-furnished. The back deck is the ideal spot to get some peaceful and soothing moments admiring the mountain. The game room in the basement was definitely well appreciated by our kids; and what about the spa more than welcome after our days of hiking. Kim and Jim were very friendly, welcoming and caring. We already miss the SkyBarn! Thanks a lot Kim and Jim for the precious memories we made up there! Jim and

About the host

Hosted by Kim & Jim

Host profile image
Our home is the only short-term rental on top of the mountain. There are a few neighbors who live there, all of whom are really cool and nice. They may buzz around on a 4-wheeler occasionally. Waive and say hello, they may even let you ride:) In case of an emergency, they may be able help too. They really are a great nearby resource if needed.

Again, thank you so much for choosing our lovely home. We are not a big real estate company. My husband and I manage the property and can only afford it because of thoughtful guests like you.

What makes this property unique

Gorgeous up-close mountain views with a large deck for family gatherings. The SkyBarn offers a unique flat front yard that is rare in the high country for kids to play and adults to enjoy a fire pit. Hot tub very close to the house right outside the basement game room door with a half bath conveniently nearby for changing and drying off. Large basement game room great for adults and kids that can also serve as a sleeping area if needed. Private quiet home perched on top of the mountain.
