Our group had an amazing stay at Sky Barn! The location is perfect! This property has amazing views, stunning sunsets (oh the sunsets!!), is walking distance to the top of Beech Mountain Resort (direct lift access), and close driving distance to all of the nearby towns you'd want to visit. The house is beautiful and very comfortable; we felt right at home. We saw so many deer along the drive to/from the house; although we were disappointed that we did not get to see any bears, which we heard had been visiting shortly before our arrival. We did have snow flurries the morning we checked out, which was exciting for us Floridians! One thing to note, do your best to arrive before dark. Our flight was delayed and it was midnight by the time we arrived. It was lightly raining and in addition to the winding roads, the drive in the DARK and FOG was not something I would like to do again. I was so white-knuckled that I thought I may not leave the property again until it was time to check out. Fortunately, the fog lifted by late morning and we made our way out of the house. I definitely recommend the shortcut, it saves about 5 mins and the drive is much less winding roads and not on the edge of the road either. I would also recommend stopping at grocery store before heading up the mountain to check in.Highly recommend Sky Barn. Wonderful Spring Break in the NC mountains! Thank you!
