Birthday Trip

My husband and I and my husband’s best friend chose a NC mountain stay for this annual trip for these men to celebrate their February birthdays. This cabin exceeded our expectations and truly felt like home for the week we stayed there. We enjoyed all of the amenities and would recommend this property to others.

Perfect Space

Skylark provided an amazing stay! The house was just the right amount of cozy and spacious. And was in the perfect location to downtown Boone while also feeling secluded and in tune with nature. The hot tub was an excellent perk as well!

Great family getaway spot

The Skylark cabin was a great place for our family. More than enough space for our adult family. Many laughs were had at the dining room table. The cabin was spacious, clean, warm and inviting. Close to Boone and the many activities it offers. Would definitely book again if we head back to the area. Thanks for the memories!

Reunion in Banner Elk

What a fantastic long weekend in Boone / Valle Crucis / Banner Elk area with my Delta Sigma Phi fraternity brothers from NC State. I chose to stay at Skylark with 2 others and the cabin was just amazing. Super location, the house layout and furnishings were top shelf!!!! We could not have been happier! I am ready to rebook Skylark for next year or prior for a mountain weekend.

Peaceful winter retreat

Immaculate and cozy. Kitchen very well equipped. Hot tub perfect and a protected from the elements. We grilled every day. Very quiet and peaceful place to watch the snow fall and the deer wander through each morning. Isolated but still an easy drive to in Boone, Banner Elk, and the ski resorts.

Perfect getaway

Had a great stay at Skylark. Property was clean and had all that we needed. Would be helpful to have a few more towels though. The pics online showed twin beds and a full bed in the loft area but what was there was a day bed with a trundle which was fine for what we needed. Everytihng was in working order and we would definately stay here again!
