Guest Reviews

Book the stay at Skyline Lodge, you will not regret it! We spent an anniversary weekend at Skyline and it was more than we had hoped for- from the complimentary wine upon our arrival to the fuzzy warm blankets that kept us warm by the fire pit! Ian, and the rest of the employees of skyline are top notch and go out of their way to please the guests....See More

The room was spacious (there were 4 of us), bathroom was clean & spacious, but the best part was the service and the attention given to each guest by the staff. The restaurant waiters were the best I've experienced in years... Better than most 5-star places. I will return just for that pampering. Oh, and the food was very good, too.

Staff, food, and views were amazing! Their pop up Christmas bar was adorable and the oak steakhouse was amazing! Gabriella at the front desk was super welcoming and helpful. Some neg reviews say no fridge but they will bring you one if you ask :)

Fantastic stay. Travel plans got massively messed up during the late August hurricane in Florida. Was able to find this place at the last minute and drove up from ATL airport during the storms. What an amazing delight to find this spectacular cozy place deep in the mountains of NC. The staff and owner went WAY above and beyond taking care of us. I was stranded with no where...See More
