Beautiful view, needs some updating and nosy neighbor!

Skyview is a lovely cabin, spacious with beautiful views. We were a family of 10 over Thanksgiving, which involved a lot of cooking and the outdated kitchen made it challenging (old stove/oven and microwave from the 1990s!). One of the bedrooms has a pull-out couch that is extremely uncomfortable. DO NOT SLEEP ON IT! When we arrived, it was 58 degrees in the house and we quickly discovered the heat is locked and requires a PIN to unlock. Guests have no control over the temperature--it's controlled by the owner's cell phone from afar and the highest temp they give guests is 68 degrees. We were traveling with three elderly family members (between the ages of 83-88) and they had to wear coats the majority of the time while in the house. If you want to be warm, bring your own space heater and many blankets (they only had one blanket in the entire house!). Beware of the camera on the front porch and be mindful of a neighbor who may be monitoring your every move, including # of cars parked in the driveway, # of dogs you bring, and false accusations of theft (we were accused and reported to the HOA of stealing a sign from the top of the Meadow because we were the only renters, so it had to be us! Never mind there were wind gusts of 20-30 mph while we were there!). This is a residential community which we were respectful of, but it is very clear they don't like Skyview being a rental property! Though the cabin is lovely, we will not return due to how we were treated.

Nice cabin but smaller than looks in pictures. Needs some updating.

We had planned to go out on Saturday and Sunday in the local and surrounding areas to do activities mainly geared towards the children. After driving up what can only be described as a horrendous road no one wanted to go down again until we left. And in fact we left a day early because rain was forecast for Monday and no one wanted to attempt going down it in the rain. As there was only 1 TV in the entire 4 bedroom 2 living room cabin. Definitely not enough. Though it was ok we would never go back to it again because the road terrified almost everyone. Directions should include NOT going around (behind) the condominiums as that added over 2 more miles onto the drive and it was definitely even worse.

Best view ever

The only complaint would be that the listing said 8 miles to TIEC and it was farther than that with an extreme drive up the mountain that caught me off guard. I was here working so have long days and driving up the mountain at night was a bit stressful . Otherwise it was an oasis with lots of room, views to die for, a great dining room table and games that we played every night. The most relaxing work week I have had in a long time dur to this house.

Beautiful location

The drive up the mountain is amazing, with beautiful views. We saw deer numerous times and bear twice on the ride. There are a few very steep climbs and switchbacks, so be sure you have good brakes before you begin. The property is set back from the edge, so do not expect to walk out on the deck and have an uninterrupted vista. The view is certainly there, but you have to walk out to the road for the long distance views. Also, don’t assume that there will be rocking chairs or comfortable seating waiting for you in the front porch. Sadly, when we visited, there were two dirty plastic chairs. That’s it. The porch is long and wide and could be amazing, but it needs furniture. The Adirondack furnishings in the pictures on a small back porch and are cable-locked into place. The interior of the house was clean and comfortable. (Be aware that you are NOT allowed to build a fire in the fireplace. That was disappointing.) The beds are comfortable and we found bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths nicely arranged and waiting on top of each. Plenty of hot water in the showers . Cheap single-ply toilet paper in the bathrooms, but the home is on septic so I understand. The kitchen was well supplied and had everything we needed. There are very large windows in the rear den that have a very nice view, so we spent out time in there. Did we enjoy our time on White Oak mountain? Yes. Would we rent this same property again? Maybe, but probably not.

Great house for a small family gathering

We loved our stay at Skyview. The house was spacious with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy time together as well as work or focus when needed. The kitchen is small but sufficient, and the house in general is in very good condition. The nearby park maintained by the HOA (with historical significance) is just up the road and is a fantastic place to walk to, watch sunrises or sunsets, or have a picnic.

Awesome view, but needs more thorough cleaning

Our few nights’ stay at Skyview was a welcome break from the heat. The view from the end of the driveway is beautiful! Despite confirming that a pack & play would be available, there wasn’t one in the house; the management company drove one up. The house is big with an interesting layout and had everything else that we needed. There were some cleanliness issues (dried, dead bugs, many dirty dishes, stove/oven were dirty) that I didn’t expect having paid the cleaning fee. The house is the *top* of White Oak Mountain - it’s a slow, winding drive to get up...really adds to the character and “get away” feeling! We enjoyed our stay, but I wouldn’t stay there again.
