Gorgeous property close to Sky Retreat

We came for a wedding at Sky Retreat and made a long weekend out of the trip. The property is gorgeous and dogs had a blast. Cabin was clean and well stocked. The screened in porch is amazing! We enjoyed our time at the house so much. My only suggestions for improvement, and mind you, I’m still giving 5 stars for everything, is to have one of the king beds not be memory foam/squishy, for us older folk with back issues or stomach sleepers. And, consider replacing the small main couch. None of this bothered us to any degree. I simply can’t sleep on memory foam well. Thanks to Paul for his amazing hospitality and to Ricky and team for a super clean cabin! We hope to return later this summer!

Beautiful escape to the woods

My family and I rented this cabin for a long weekend and it was the perfect getaway. The cabin feels secluded and is set back from the road so our child and dog could play in the creek without worry. There are acres of trails to explore and the sounds of nature were so peaceful. Trips into Boone were easy and we had a great time. Would absolutely rent again.

Beautiful Cabin with Everything You Need!

Our family had an amazing stay at Shady Creek!! Cabin was well stocked with everything you need. We loved the privacy and space for our daughter and dog to run around. They especially loved the creek! Plus, the cabin itself was beautiful and extremely clean with comfortable beds, which is key!! We will definitely stay again!

This place is great. We loved the new gazebo by the stream. We played uno the first night with the fire on. Tons of hiking choices. We even made a rope swing in the big tree. We recommend and we will be back.

Peace and Quiet!

Probably one of the top 3 places I’ve rented! If you are looking for peace and quiet and privacy to just chill, then this is the place for you! No neighbors in sight, barely any traffic noise ever, place was great to get away from the hustle bustle. House is well equipped and kids loved the creek and hot tub!

We had 11 nights from 08/05/23 at this excellent property

If you enjoy the outdoors, walking around a lovely garden, near to a lovely creek, sitting on the patio by the fire pit watching the stars then this place will take some beating. The property itself was also lovely, not huge but cost, very nicely finished and certainly very comfortable for us (2 adults and a small spaniel, who didn’t want to leave). We had a couple of issues, but they were dealt with without fuss. We shall definitely be back, simply a beautiful place.

Quiet oasis

We booked this trip for a quiet weekend with our dog and this property 100% delivered. The screened in porch and the sounds of the creek and birds made it the perfect stay in the middle of NC summer. Our guest contact was responsive and very helpful, keeping us updated on whether the creek was passable after some storms passed through. We also appreciated the quality appliances and fixtures. If you’re looking for a quiet, isolated, and comfortable getaway, this is the place to be!

Great Getaway

My family had a fantastic visit here recently. We were secluded with no other homes near us on a large plot to explore. The creek was perfect for my son to wade in and it provided a relaxing backdrop to watch and listen to, even from the screened porch. Inside was very clean and modern. All things were in good working order and maintained very nicely. Plenty of places to explore in the surrounding towns which included Blowing Rock. Great getaway!

Recommending to all my friends

Best small mountain cabin I have stayed in. It is perfect for an escape for 2 or a small family. This place is only 6 miles off a 4-lane highway and 1/4 from the main road. It feels like you are deep in the woods. The stream is perfect with water levels and flow to play in. The cabin has a ton of USB ports for modern families. Nice firepit, grill (gas), and hot tub. The kitchen had everything you need, even a coffee maker for 12 cup pots and/or Kcups. Nice washer and dryer. I have never stayed in the same cabin twice. This one I will.

Shady Creek

This was absolutely the best cabin we have stayed in for our vacations. All amenities were spot on and then some. The creek was by far the most wonderful sound 24 hours each day. The only possible opportunity to make our stay perfect was the lack of night sky. The security lighting drowned out the night sky while we relaxed on the patio at night. We are photographers and wanted the option for some astrophotography pictures while in the mountains. Otherwise we can't say enough to recommend this away from home spot in nature. Thank you for the R and R we so needed.

NC vaca 23

This place is amazing. I want to live here - for real....is it for sale?!!? If not I call dibs when it does!! Seriously great piece of property and cabin. The Gazebo was a nice feature. The creek was perfect for our dogs and myself to cool off in. Our 10 week old fell asleep every day sitting on one of our laps or her chair sitting listening to the creek and having the breeze hit her. I caught some native brook trout in the stream with my fly rod (they were returned to the water) and also ran into a baby fawn while doing so. We have shared the link to this place with several friends and encouraged them to book it. We will be back some day!!

Perfect tranquility

This property would be a great place to stay if the weather was conducive to sitting outside and listening to the stream, unfortunately we were in the midst of a horrible heat wave the time we were there and were only able to enjoy the outside late afternoon/early evening after the sun was starting to set, but it didn’t take away from the property. The bed was very comfortable (I want to know the brand, we’re looking for a new one), and the cleanliness of the house was superb. Our “puppies” loved the expansiveness of the place, and our one dog spent most of her time in the stream, which felt very cool and refreshing. Kudos to the property owner and the cleaning crew for an excellent experience. We are thinking about returning this fall when the weather is cooler and we can enjoy the outdoors more.

Awesome Views

If you are looking for a cabin where the owners are very responsive, look no further. The cabin was great and the views were wonderful. I found the pots and pans in bad shape. I contacted them and in less than 12 hours, they had delivered a brand new set. I don't fault the owners for the state of the cookware. People need to learn to not use metal on non stick cookware. I suggested that the owner remove the metal cooking utensils and they said that they planned on it. They were so quick to respond and to fix the issue. We plan to stay there again!!
