We give our guests complete privacy to enjoy their mountain retreat. We will not be present during your stay but are always available to answer any questions or provide assistance via the Airbnb app or by phone. Your comfort and a seamless experience are our top priorities.
Morning light stretches across the ridgelines and filters through the large windows while the house slowly wakes up around a fresh pot of coffee. Stone, wood, and warm textures create a grounded atmosphere that feels connected to the landscape outside. The screened porch becomes a favorite place to linger, listening to the breeze move through the trees while distant mountain layers shift with the changing light. As evening settles in, conversations drift from the deck to the fire pit, and the open Blue Ridge sky becomes part of the backdrop. It's the kind of place that helps people reconnect.
The Skycrest Lodge is in a very quiet, family-friendly, residential neighborhood, wake up to beautiful sunrises, listen to the owls, birds, and watch the fog roll through the mountains. It's truly so peaceful🌿
✔ The location📍 of the Skycret Lodge is INCREDIBLE; no need to take hour-long, windy back roads to get to the top destinations.
✔ It's less than 10 minutes to Downtown Boone & App State University and an easy drive of 30 to 40 minutes to All of our 3 major ski mountains: App, Beech & Sugar Mountain.

About the host
Hosted by Heather Mogollon
Our family has been traveling to the Blue Ridge Mountains for over 5 years now and every time we go back we feel as though we never want to leave, so we finally made the big decision to buy in Boone, NC. As a military family, we often need to escape the stress of military life and this home, the mountains and the people are just incredible. We will retire in this cabin and the mountains. We know that by sharing this beautiful place with others, those memories and experiences will make an impact in the lives of others.
Why they chose this property
After searching for almost 7 months, when we pulled up to this cabin and got out of the car we were just awe struck by the feeling we got! Once we stepped inside and saw the beauty of the wood, fireplace, large ceilings and open living space and the potential of making it feel like ours. That was it.
We have spent a year doing remodeling, fixing it up, furnishing it! We have put our heart and soul into it top to bottom, cleaning up the landscaping you name it. We hope that you can see that in our photos and video tours!
What makes this property unique
The Location is perfect, private yet close to major roads, gas stations grocery and downtown town + the parks.
The minute you step out of your car and see that view, it will overtake you, its just magical, brings a sense of peace, calmness and joy.
Once you open that front door it really hits you, like WOW! The craftsmanship furnishings and rustic yet modern decor, we have been told its straight out of a magazine. And as of April 2018 we were in-fact in a magazine (Airbnb featured our cabin, which was so exciting)
Enjoy lunch on the deck, read a good book, snuggle by the fireplace, play games with the family.It's really an experience not just a place to stay.
