Not the Mountain Retreat We Hoped For
Not the Mountain Retreat We Hoped For - While Sky Laurel had some positives—clean accommodations and comfortable beds—the overall experience fell short of expectations. The kitchen was shockingly small, almost as if it was added as an afterthought. Opening the refrigerator door was a struggle, the oven looked straight out of the 1950s, and there was barely enough room for two people to stand without bumping elbows. A pervasive smell of mold lingered throughout the space, and although a dehumidifier was running when we arrived, it wasn’t enough to cut through the damp atmosphere. We requested a second dehumidifier on day two of our four-night stay, and reached out to the rental company twice more to ask that one be left on the porch—but unfortunately, it was provided 12 hours before we were to check out. Sky Laurel had some redeeming features, but sadly, it didn’t live up to the charm we were hoping for during our time in Blowing Rock.
