SkyBarn on Rocky Knob - Views, Relaxation, Adventure, Game Room & Hot Tub
Relax with your family or friends at this peaceful retreat on top of the Silverleaf community at a whopping 4200’ elevation. Enjoy towering mountain views of Rich Mt. as you rest on our deck swing & rockers. Once well rested, take a hike on the private “high trails” accessible within our community at 5200’ or simply unwind in our hammocks nestled along the wooded yard. Finish your day soaking in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit, curling up by the gas stove or visiting our basement game room.

Private, family-friendly mountain cottage near Boone NC and Banner Elk NC. Close to ASU, most tourist sites, hiking, fishing and skiing. Gas-log stove, incredible mountain views, WIFI, multiple HDTVs, large basement game room, covered deck, fire pit and flat front yard perfect for the little ones to run around. Accommodates up to 10 guests with three queen beds, one twin with trundle, and two Aerobeds. A six-seat outdoor hot tub is located below our main deck in the side yard.

Enjoy the views from this three-story, three-bedroom home with gas-log stove, fire pit and covered deck with rockers, huge couch, and porch swing. You will have complete privacy and yet convenience to Boone, Valle Crucis and Banner Elk.
The home is decorated with cozy, mountain-modern furniture and all of the conveniences of home. After hiking one of the community trails, exploring shops in nearby towns or taking in a game at ASU, enjoy making dinner in the fully-stocked kitchen or on the gas-grill just outside on the wrap-around porch. After dinner relax with the family on the cozy sectional couch or stargaze around the firepit.
Should you need to get a little work done, the home is equipped with strong WIFI, and two desks tucked away in each upstairs bedroom with a mountain view. Traveling with young children? We’ve got you covered with a Pack ‘n Play, space saver high-chair, baby gate, children’s books, games, and even a baby monitor!
Our home is the perfect getaway whether you want to spend time with friends, reconnect with family or just disconnect for a bit.

About the host
Hosted by Kim & Jim

Our home is the only short-term rental on top of the mountain. There are a few neighbors who live there, all of whom are really cool and nice. They may buzz around on a 4-wheeler occasionally. Waive and say hello, they may even let you ride:) In case of an emergency, they may be able help too. They really are a great nearby resource if needed.
Again, thank you so much for choosing our lovely home. We are not a big real estate company. My husband and I manage the property and can only afford it because of thoughtful guests like you.

What makes this property unique
Gorgeous up-close mountain views with a large deck for family gatherings. The SkyBarn offers a unique flat front yard that is rare in the high country for kids to play and adults to enjoy a fire pit. Hot tub very close to the house right outside the basement game room door with a half bath conveniently nearby for changing and drying off. Large basement game room great for adults and kids that can also serve as a sleeping area if needed. Private quiet home perched on top of the mountain.
