We had a wonderful time at Skytop
We had a wonderful time with family at Skytop Retreat. The views from each room were breathtaking. The long-range views with their continuous changes throughout the day delighted and surprised me. Our family commented on how well appointed the property was. We have stayed in many rentals around the country and by far this was the best equipped in the kitchen, bedroom, living and fun gameroom. There are two decks to enjoy the views. The upper deck is right off the living room and kitchen and provides the best views. If you are quiet you can hear the creek off to your left. I highly recommend you enjoy your morning coffee during sunrise. The lower deck is preferable if you want to avoid the sun during the day or it is raining. Each bedroom is fully furnished and has a bathroom adjacent or nearby. The kitchen is impressive with its top end appliances and everything you need to cook a full meal for a crowd. The game room had so much to enjoy; board games and video games—both modern and classic. There is shuffleboard and a stocked poker table. We mostly stayed on the property to take advantage of everything the venue provides. We ventured into the quaint town of Blowing Rock for a day of shopping and lunch. As for the drive up it is easy mountain roads up to the last few turns. The driveway is a well maintained gravel road. We easily traversed the driveway in our Toyota Tundra. Our other family members drove a Highlander and also had no issues. I would say that if your vehicle has solid traction and good clearance you will do fine with the driveway. The rental company does recommend all wheel drive or 4x4. If you are looking for a mountain getaway you'll be sure to enjoy this stunningly beautiful home with breathtaking views. You'll find every aspect of this home to be top-notch.
