My friend and I really enjoyed this property. Perfect for a couple, small family, or two friends traveling together. Great value as well. The one downside and why we gave a 4/5 instead of 5/5. The directions to the property were very unclear. We were never given a gate code, the signage to the property is too small, and the directions could be improved substantially. For people with future bookings, be sure to reach out to the property contact before hand and ask for detailed directions once your within 3 minutes of the property, Google Maps does not take you there. Service is limited by the property and we had to call multiple times to figure out where we were going.

Our stay

This is a cute loft and well taken care of. We enjoyed it. It was a little bit too far from the areas that we went to like Cherokee so we may need to stay somewhere closer next time, but if you like being being secluded and up in the mountains this is a great place to stay.

Comfortable and cozy

The thoughtfulness of the owners was apparent in all the little details. We enjoyed our stay and wish we could have stayed longer. The bed was sooooo comfortable! The wi-fi was great. It is close to the Tsali Recreation Area. It had everything we needed.

Hi Hap, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize that you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the owner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following: - Thank you so much for taking the time to share about your stay. We take guest feedback very seriously and take action on it 100% of the time. - We are so sorry that you saw poison ivy on the property. We were unaware of this issue before your stay and we have since removed it. The lawn and property are serviced regularly. We wish that you had shared this with the guest contact during your stay so we could have removed it for you during your stay. We want to make sure all guests have a happy and carefree stay with us. - Many of the appliances, furniture, and items within the property are new (new mattress, new adjustable bed frame, new fridge, new couch with queen pull-out bed, new rugs, new coffeemaker, new microwave, new outdoor anti gravity chairs, new fire pit, newly painted deck), so we were unaware of any broken items prior to your stay. However we have recently discovered that the stove needed to be replaced, so we have since installed a new one which means that every item in the Sky Loft is now brand new. - Guests are encouraged to reach out during their stay if any issues arise. We wish you would have provided feedback to our property manager while in residence so that we had the opportunity to address those issues. We would have been more than happy to do so because we take guests' experience and comfort very seriously and do everything we can to make it an enjoyable stay for everyone. We hope that you come back again someday to cook a meal on the new stove and enjoy a comfortable and relaxing stay at the Sky Loft!

Better than any hotel in the area

The loft was great. The only problem we had was no internet and, no one to fix it. We weren’t at the loft for very much of the weekend. Wasn’t a problem for us. But, if you had kids you were trying to entertain. It could have been.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2023

From the owner: "Hi Dustin, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay! We're sorry for the inconvenience with the internet. Due to the mountainous location, the only option we have for the internet is satellite, which will be spotty when it is cloudy or raining. We've reached out to the internet company to attempt to fix this issue; but unfortunately, they say there is no fix for the slow connection during cloudy or rainy weather. We'll be sure to update our listing to ensure future guests are aware of this possibility. We appreciate your feedback and hope you keep us in mind the next time you visit Bryson City!"

Simple and Sweet Vacation Rental

We really enjoyed our time at this vacation home. It had everything we needed, it was very quiet and not far from the places we wanted to explore. My only complaint was that the king mattress had a loose sheet and not a fitted sheet and we woke up on the actual mattress itself every morning, no matter how many times I attempted to tuck in the ends, it was just not long enough. I messaged a contact we were given for this property and was told the owner wants no fitted sheets on the mattress. Other than that, it was a beautiful place to land at the end of every day and we would recommend it!

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Jul, 2023
From the owner: "Thank you for your review! Our apologies there was no fitted sheet while you were there. The fitted sheet had recently been damaged and there was no replacement available. Now there are replacements available for fitted sheets so there will be fitted sheet on the bed for every guest moving forward."

Great Place BUT...

Great place for 1 to 2 people. Super cute and comfy place and comfy bed. So many conveniences, blankets and supplies. Two issues... internet would never connect to any TV or device. Bigger issue was oven. Top burner doesnt work and of all three times we.tried to cook in it everything would burn the bottom and not cook top. Kinda major when you stay long term and hope to eat in. Really enjoyed the place and check in was easy. We always appreciate pet friedly renters!

Hi Tracey, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to share the following: - Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Sky Loft. We take guest feedback seriously as this allows us to improve the experience for future guests. - We're glad to hear you enjoyed the new comfortable mattress and cute pet-friendly ambiance in the Sky Loft!, but would like to take a moment to address your concerns.- We have never had this complaint before, we have spent several months living in this space and cooked many meals without any issues, so after hearing your feedback we further investigated and it was clear we needed a new stove, which has since been installed. In addition, we are changing our internet service provider by November 1, 2023, and our WiFi should be much improved as we will be using Starlink which has a much better coverage and higher internet speeds. Again, thank you for providing such valuable feedback so we could take action on it. We take our guests' experience very seriously and strive to provide a welcoming and enjoyable experience for everyone. Your feedback is important to us, and we appreciate the opportunity to address these concerns. We hope that you will come back again to experience what you loved about the Sky Loft as well as these updates!We do all we can to make the best possible stay, and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied guests.

The property was nice. Clean, comfortable. Even the sofa bed, which I normally hate, was fine.Don't slow down before you reach the top of Circle Rd. (private road). Especially if pulling a trailer and do not have 4WD. We made it up fine even when wet. But the first time, pulling a trailer, we slowed up just before reaching the top. And we got stuck. Had to unload the trailer. (Motorcycles).Speaking of which, I saw somewhere motorcycles may not be suitable. Our street bikes made it up just fine.
