Communication was excellent and the host kept us informed prior to check in with necessary information. The Skybarn is an excellent place for family gatherings with plenty of room for spending time together, playing the many arcade type games in the basement, gathering in the living room for board games, or relaxing in the hot tub. We were appreciative of the Christmas decorations since we were spending the holiday there. The bedrooms were extra cozy and the beds were very comfortable.The hosts provided so many amenities including a hot cocoa bar. The kitchen was well-stocked with all of the basics. The views are amazing and there are many outdoor spaces to enjoy them! The location and neighborhood was so quiet and peaceful. We highly recommend the Skybarn for anyone looking for a relaxing and fun time with friends or family.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving stay at Skybarn. The house is bigger than it seems in the photos which was a pleasant surprise. Kim was a fantastic host with excellent communication. We loved the game room and enjoyed the concert posters, wall decor, and all the games. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. We really felt right at home and would love to return in the future. If you are looking for a quiet and private retreat, this is it. Thanks for a great trip!

Everything about this trip from the time of booking to arriving was absolutely perfect! Kim & Jim's place was one of the best places that we have ever stayed in. The attention to detail of items that could be needed on a trip were there. It felt like we were at home. The house was extremely clean, not only on the inside but the outside was well maintained also. From the amazing view on the back deck to the game room on the lower level, makes this one of the best places to stay at. Definitely a 5-star rating!!

Skybarn is a fantastic getaway. Perfect for two families with kids. We had 80 degrees when we arrived and snow when we left. The views and surrounding hikes are great. Highly recommend Elk Knob. Also, be sure to stop by Shipley Farms for fresh steaks and other treats to grill back at the cabin. Love staying here, will be back many times. Thanks Jim and Kim!

The Skybarn was amazing! I love all the extra touches for Christmas. If you have kids they will love the basement and all the games. (so did my husband) There are containers under the sink in bathroom with different necessities in it. Which was a lifesaver has I had forgot my toothbrush. So peaceful outdoors. We loved the trails and the views. Kim was so helpful always answering any questions I had and quick to respond to them.

Kim was one of the best hosts we have ever had and our family uses Airbnb for everything ! She was most helpful with clear instructions for check In and out . Skybarn is a 5 Star stay ! We hope to return for more family memories to be made. Hot tub was amazing and squeaky clean! Kitchen had the best cooking utensils I have ever seen at any of our stays ! Game room in the basement was an absolute WIN for our family with 2 toddlers ( and of course us adults lol ! ) Beds and linens clean and comfortable There isn’t one bad thing to say about this beautiful serene private mountain getaway ! The views are breathtaking! Make sure to have a 4 wheel drive vehicle it is an awesome ride up the mountain 🏔️ Thanks for the memories. Until next time …Cheers !

We had a great time! Our adult children especially loved the basement and all the games! Lights on the porch were a nice touch and we had lots of fun sitting by the fire pit. Great memories! We will definitely consider staying in Kim's place again if she will have us!

We loved our stay at the Sky Barn! My 7-year-old had a blast with all the games in the basement and did not want to leave. The neighborhood is great, very peaceful with great views and easy to navigate. We had everything we needed and Kim was very helpful and proactive to make sure everything was great from the outset. We would like to come back!

What a wonderful get-a-way! Wished that we could have stayed longer. Will definitely return. Loved the extra touches Kim made available, from the s'mores bar to the gameroom! Great old-time fun! Kitchen was well stocked, so much so that we cooked in more than going out since we didn't want to leave that gorgeous mountain view from the deck. Loved winding down both evenings with a glass of wine in the hot tub. A truly relaxing 2 nights in a wonderful mountain setting.

This cabin was a huge disappointment. the neighborhood and that is lovely. The cabin looked like the owners just left. The kitchen cabinets were entirely full. There was no room in any cabinet for our food. The primary bathroom is small has no towel bars, no shelves and when I went to put my toiletries under teh vanity? It was packed with sanitary napkins, tampons and diapers. The closet for the primary bedroom has a trunk inside so when you hang your clothes, they puddle on the top of the trunk. The dresser is cheap and the drawers are only about 10 inches deep. what makes it worse is the drawer only opens halfway. The place looked like someone had been living there and they just left. More like a "house swap" than a vacation rental. We communicated with the owners and the husband offered to let us leave and give us a full refund. We contacted a local rental company, found a new place and were gone the next day. They did not give us a refund. But Thanks to AmEx, we got our $$.

Response:Unfortunately there’s the occasional nightmare renter that you read about, but hope you never host. Eileen was just that. We had ABnB Support involved shortly after arrival to exit her party due to a perceived mail scam and other inappropriate events. We even offered to refund her 85% of a month reservation just to get her out, but she declined and resorted in unsavory credit card practices to get the full refund per her review. Eileen is clearly disgruntled and wrote a false review. If there’s any questions about my cozy cabin, please message me and I’ll answer them and will gladly send current photos or videos of my home. The nearly fifty recent 5-star reviews and Superhost status speak for my cabin. Eileen’s 1-star review is clearly retaliatory.

I fell in love with the mountains around Boone while I was a student at App State. When my husband and I had to opportunity to purchase a home in the area we couldn't say no! I consider the area my second home - we love spending time there with our two girls. We also love sharing our home and the beauty of the mountains with others!
